Once again another explosion rocking Nigeria's second largest city Kano. Ibadan, HNNAfrica's HQ is the largest and the twin city to Kano which houses Southerners in Sabon Geri while we house Northerners here at Sabo. Each tribe displays their wares and foods as well as vast culture.
You can call it a sort of Chinatown or Little Italy phenomena where you have foreign people settle in another part of the country or world. Now comes terrorists who don't want them there and they bomb the place. This time it was the entertainment district crowded with bars and people watching sports and more on a Sunday night. Over 70 dead I am told by police and casualties are still rising.
Below are my tweets @HNNAfrica. Follow my handle for the latest updates and reaction. I will be heading to the Hausa enclave of Sabo today to hear what people have to say about this.
Right now, I need you to go and donate blood if you are in the Kano area. The medical implications of the #AbujaBombBlast is now the same as the #KanoBombBlast. We already have a dried up national blood bank so please give blood today. There are many with injuries.
