Oh yes! Right here in Nigeria, the largest pig farm in the world once existed in the core Muslim Northern city of Kano.

That was when Nigeria was lovey dovey and we all tolerated one another.

The farm was started in 1943 by a Lebanese, Kalil Maroun founder of K.Maroun and Co a popular Pork Farm/Processing company, located at Apapa, Lagos.

The original intention of Maroun was to produce pork for the US military base in Kano during world war 2.

In 1959, 36,000 pigs were fattened and transported by rail to be butchered and processed in Lagos every month.


Let's make Nigerian Agriculture Great once again.

Let's rule the World again

Let’s take a look at some pictures from the Kano pig farm

But Op I thought the general believe is that hausas(muslims) don't like pigs. How come they allowed such farm exist in such popular city like Kano?

Thats what most people think... i know for a fact Pigs are reared in kaduna, kano, bauchi, benue, plateau, nasarawa borno etc.

a lot of Northern cities contain Christian minorities who are crazy about pork

you can retain the cassava, it's very useful in feeding pigs

It depends on how soon you intend to utilise the cassava.
You can chop it into little bits and dry for storage

too bad, hatred and intolerance will only lead to war, strife ,hunger, bloodshed among other ills. we need to free our oil sector from corruption while paying serious attention to agriculture. thanks for the history lesson OP.

To call the Nigeria's biggest Pig-farm in Kano an irony, has to be a masterpiece of understatement.
