The emir said the baby died in the mother’s arms while she was waiting for her turn to ask for money to buy the drug to save her child.

“And how much was this? It was less than five dollars,” an emotional Sanusi said.

He added, “This is what happens every day in this country. Children die because their parents cannot afford five dollars, that a mother will watch her child die because she does not have five dollars.”

However while waiting for her turn to ask for money to buy a drug which costs less than $5 for her baby, she lost him.

As he has said many times, population control is necessary in the North. Having children that we can't care for is sinful. Unfortunately, people hide under the "go ye and multiply" mantra to breed without control. Sadly they forget to read or ignore the fact that God states in clear terms that our children are our responsibility.

Very stupid post.
It would be of great value if @OP and Nigerians were interested in his story/message instead of the rubbish reported above.
He shared a similar thing during a landmark anniversary celebration of one of the first generation banks.
