Altre informazioni:
Kano is the capital of the twelve northern states of Nigeria which are under Islamic Sharia rule, where the Emir is its political, economic and feudal leader, who rules with a form of medieval Islamic feudal law, controls his people through enforced poverty. Though Kano is Nigeria's least developed metropolis, it is at the same time its second biggest city with 3 million inhabitants, where 65% of its inhabitants survive on less than one euro a day, and only one in every two people has permanent employment. The system is ruled by militias such as the Hispah Sharia police controlling strict religious etiquette, whose volunteers might gladly join a djihad against the USA if only they had the money to do so; vigilante groups controlling deliquance, reporting to the Emir and big business, and ghetto gangs run by the Mafia, such as the yandabas (the Husa word for criminal) of Badawa ghetto. There are regular epidemics of cholera and typhoid, and the city is most often without electricity.
