The ancient city of kano

Kano is the commercial nerve centre in Northern Nigeria and is the second largest city in Nigeria after lagos.

Coming from yola, people in kano are more bussier going about their daily activities and businesses compare to people in yola. The market in kano is a lot more crowded and I like how you can basically get everything you are looking for and more.

Growing up, kano was my second home after yola.  Every holiday especially during summer, Dad will take us with him to kano and we use to get happy and excited to go on the journey. The best part of being in kano is when Dad drives us out to places like hangout, lamazon, roxy amusement park. Also other historical places like dala hills, gidan makama e.t.c. 

I am not sure if some of these places still stand today though, because I've not visited kano most of my adult life.

But one thing for sure is my love for kano will never die as it has some of the best memories of my childhood and especially of the quality times I spent with my dad.

I love kano city. I love my Modern Arewa.
