KANO CITY WALL




What is Kano without its city walls?
Built centuries ago with a sense of grace
It is our identity and cultural achievement
So imposing, intimidating, a grand monument
It is our pride and collective memory
Today, a gray shadow of its grandeur
Kano is naked, without its city wall
So are all of us.
