Yazmin:

Does anyone notice that the individual in the picture isn't the emir and the room in question isn't part of his palace.....Mark you!; that Is not the emir and that isn't his palace either.

That's Sanusi Lamido Sanusi (the CBN Governor) when he was turbanned as the Dan-Majen Kano. He was receiving guests.

The mischievous poster was insinuating that Sanusi, whose grandfather was Emir of Kano (Muhammad Sanusi. Ruled 1954-1963), was behind the attack on Ado Bayero, so that he can become emir.

[size=18pt]Why emir of kano was target of terrorists[/size]

Yesterday’s convoy attack would not go down in history as the first time attempts would be made on the life of the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero. But for providence, the Emir would have been killed as far back as the 9th day of July, 2010.

On that fateful Friday, the traditional ruler narrowly escaped being killed by a lone gunman who attempted to shoot him during the Muslim Juma’at prayer in Kano at the palace mosque.

The suspect, 19 year-old Usman Abubakar, who lived in the Doraji Quarters in Kano Metropolis, was stopped by the police before he could carry out the dastardly act. One Alhaji Abubakar Batakayen who Abubakar said sent him on the errand to kill the Emir, was also arrested.

Although Batakaye denied ordering Abubakar to murder the Emir, the duo was charged with attempted murder, and they were still standing trial when Abubakar, the lone gunman, died in detention after suffering from an undisclosed ailment.

The Emir was once again targeted for violent attack shortly after President Goodluck Jonathan was declared the winner of the 2011 presidential elections ahead of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC’s), General Muhammadu Buhari.

A band of rampaging youths, under the guise of protesting the result of the election, set ablaze vehicles parked at the Emir’s palace and also attempted to forcefully gain entry into the Emir’s palace.

It took the swift intervention of the Police to curb the attack. The Emir, who was reported to be within the premises at the time, was whisked to safety while hundreds of policemen stood guard at the palace for days after the incident.

The respected traditional ruler was again to be threatened with attack on the 28th of July, 2011 when the dreaded Islamic Sect, Boko Haram, wrote to inform him of their intention to attack the palace and the city of Kano.

The sect on the same day warned the Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, that it was prepared to launch a series of attacks across the state. The letters were signed by the sect’s assistant spokesperson, Abu Zaid. [The attack was eventually carried out on January 20, 2012 in which over 300 people died]

The sect accused Bayero of conniving with security agents and some district heads to arrest its members. They demanded the immediate release of their arrested men and threatened to make Kano State more ungovernable than Maiduguri the Borno State capital.

As if to make good its threat the sect attacked the Mandawari Police Station located by Ado Bayero’s Palace, weeks after their letter. Several police officers on duty were injured as gunmen fired sporadically at the building for nearly an hour that Monday morning.

Police reinforcement later foiled what many said was an attempt to invade the palace as the gunmen who also used explosives during the attack, were beaten back by the superior firepower of the police. No one was arrested at the scene of the attack.

Following alleged security report that assassins may once again be after his life, Ado Bayero, according to reports, was forced to cancel the 2012 edition of the 700 year old annual Durbar ceremony.

It was the first time the Sallah Durbah would be cancelled in its history. Sources close to the Emirate disclosed that asides the security report, the suspension of the Durbar activities was also because of the prevailing security situation in the state.

At 11:15pm, a white cadillac pulled up beside the BMW, the occupants rolled down the window and fired several shots at Tupac Shakur. He was hit in the chest, pelvis, and his right hand and thigh. One of the rounds went into Shakur's right lung. Marion "Suge" Knight was only grazed by a bullet.

In 1995 President Hosni Mubarak arrived Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for an African Union summit. On his way from the airport to his hotel, his motorcade was attacked by islamists militants. I saw the footage.

Bullets penetrated the bullet proof glass and lodged in the seat of the limousine. However, President Mubarak was unhurt. His bodyguards fired back and the limo made a u-turn and headed back to the airport.

Professor Dora Akunyili's motorcade was attacked by gunmen. A bullet knocked the scarf off her head. She did not die, neither was she injured. However, a commercial bus driver, whose vehicle was nearby, was killed.

6 of one and half a dozen of the other.

The rallying cry behind the crusades was that the Holy Lands should not be in the hands of muslims (read Pope Urban's speech). They wanted to "win back the Holy Lands for Christ".

Now some would say that was a christian war, while others would say it wasn't (you can't kill for Christ).

In Ireland, some say they are fighting catholics, so that Northern Ireland would be a protestant country, while others say they are doing the opposite. Again, some would say that's a christian war, while others would say it isn't.

In Uganda, the Lord's Resistance Movement was formed to ensure that Uganda was governed by the Ten Commandments, same as the Holy Spirit Movement. Again, some would say it's a christian war, while others would say it isn't.


Similarly, the islamists militants say they are fighting to establish sharia law and the global islamic caliphate. Some would say it's an islamic movement, while others would say it's political (fascism).

Similarly, some see Rev King and Jim Jones as christian leaders, while others would say that they are not. Some may see Osama Bin Ladin and Abubakar Shekau as muslim leaders, while others would say they aren't.

***EXPOSED***
Following yesterdays attack on the emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero, intelligence gathering reveal that the attack was carried on by members of an Underground Movement: CHILDREN OF THE DEAD- a group of sons and daughters of the soldiers who had died during the Civil War. This group are strongly believe to be the ones behind the bombings in Nothern Nigeria.
This is not a theory and the brutal killing of General Shuwa the Civil war veteran is no doubt a strong evidence.
