Re: North Gets Largest Part Of British Support To Nigeria - UK Envoy

Britain used to be number one in every thing ruling the world, but For this 'awuff' looting mindset of Britain, Since 100 years now for this free awuff easy looting and laziness Britain inflicted on North and Nigeria,-- USA, Germany, France, China, Japan, Brazil, Italy etc.have all overtaken Britain in everything because of their free wheeling mindset.


Britain loots 100% from Southern and Western Nigeria back to Britain every year for 100 years-- Go figure it.

Britain gain more from Nigeria than Nigeria gain from Britain.

Britain for over 100 years in every year makes more money and resources from Nigeria than Nigeria makes from Britain.

This useless support and lies for over 100 years has created generations and generations of youths and children without future.

What happened 100, 50, 60 years ago of deceit and lies from Britain has resulted in all these problems Nigeria and Africa has now .

This is the problem of Nigerians and Africans- always hand out and stealing from them and giving hand out back and they are happy.

What has all these awuff 419 support done for the Northern Nigeria nothing.

These free free and free support has caged the North and the rest of Africa into empty vessels.

Why should a proud nation and blessed nation not ashamed to be given support from resources stolen from them and turn to say they gave it to you., but the fact is theY stole it from you.

North Gets Largest Part Of British Support To Nigeria - UK Envoy

Gov. Rabi'u Musa Kwankwaso of Kano state presenting a souvenir to the Director General, National Lottery Regulatory Commission, Mr. Adolphus Joe Ekpe when he led members of the Commission's management on a courtesy call to the governor today, Friday, at the Kano state Governor's Lodge, Aminu Kano House, Asokoro, Abuja.

Gov. Rabi'u Musa Kwankwaso of Kano state.
British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr. Andrew Pocock has said that 60 percent of British government's donation to Nigeria goes to the Northern part of the country.

'Indeed 60 percent of the British development assistance that we put into this country comes into the Northern Nigeria', said Mr Pocock, adding that this is because the United Kingdom is deeply concerned about development of the region.

He disclosed this on Tuesday during the graduation and presentation of empowerment grants/facilities to 1,907 youth and women trained on horticultural skills and home based trades by Kano government held at Government House, Kano.


Mr. Pocock added that 'we work very closely in particular with Kano state because we believe that the institutions of the state under the leadership of the state governor give results and the results are what we are interested in'.

'The example this state gives today is unanimously important - gathering of graduates who have been empowered on vocational training particularly in the agricultural area. It is good to see men given professions and I have to say it is particularly good to see women

being empowered in this way' the envoy added.

'It is solid truth of developmental economists that where women are given a chance to own a sustainable living, the health and wealth of their families and of the communities and of the states massively improve,' he argued.


The British High Commissioner therefore congratulated the state government and beneficiaries of its empowerment programmes, expressing hope that the state will soon be able to overcome its security.

Speaking during the occasion, the state governor, Rabi'u Musa Kwankwaso said a total of N210 million was spent on the programmes, explaining that the beneficiaries include 500 (11th batch) youth trained on poultry farming, 400 (4th batch) trained on aquaculture,

132 (7th batch) trained on livestock, 275 (1st batch) on horticulture, 100 (6th batch) and 500 less privileged women trained on home based.


The governor appealed to them to make good usage of what is given to them as capital in order to be self employed and eventually employ others, thus alleviating poverty and unemployment in the society.
