Twitter Trend: Nigerians Slam Channels TV For Addressing Saadat Aliyu As 'Kano Lady'

Nigerians Have again taken to Twitter to lash out at one of its most prominent news television stations, Channels TV for addressing Saadat Aliyu as "Kano Lady" on International Woman's Day.

ChannelsTv had reported the success of Saadat Aliyu who created an android app that enables sexual abuse victims to file their reports. Unfortunately for Channels TV the story headline which read "Kano Lady Develops Android App For Reporting Rape Cases" did not sit well with many.

Who Is Saadat Aliyu

Saadat Aliyu is a Kano born and founder of Shamrock Innovations, Women and Youth-Centric Tech Innovation Hub in Kano.

She developed an android app named 'Helpio App' launched on August 6, 2020, on Playstore. 

The app 'Helpio' is designed for reporting cases of sexual abuse.

Aliyu Speaking on Channels TV, said “You can go to the Play store, search for it and install it. After Installation, you can sign up using email and password either in Hausa or English language,” she told Channels Television on Monday.

According to Aliyu, she started learning IT skills from her brother when she was in junior secondary school and subsequently became a self-taught developer.

She also added that her next project will be launched very soon and is fintech-oriented conceived to continue making an impact on women and people’s lives by advocating and developing solutions.
