The Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido has said that the north will destroy itself if it doesn’t change. He clamored for change in the way things are done since the pattern used is not benefiting the north.

The north contributes about 87% of poor people in the country and that is affecting the economy of the country. He also stated that a day will come when there will be a constitutional amendment that addresses issues of quota system and federal character, because the rest of the country cannot continue educating their children who will remain unemployed because they come from the wrong state.

Emir Sanusi also commended Governor El-Rufai for addressing the main issue in his state which is education. According to him millions of northerners are out of school.

His speech says ;

“It is almost correct now to say that, you are seen as normal, if you are a governor in the north or a leader in the north, and you continue to do what your predecessors have been doing.

Doing the same thing, which has been normalised, then, there is something wrong with you. You are part of the problem. The real change in the north will come from those who are considered mad people, because you look around and say if this is the way we have been doing things, and this is where we have ended up, maybe we need to do things differently.

“If the north does not change, the north will destroy itself. The country is moving on… If we don’t listen, there would be a day when there would be a constitutional amendment that addresses the issues of quota system and federal character. The rest of the country cannot be investing, educating its children, producing graduates and then they watch us, they can’t get jobs because they come from the wrong state; when we have not invested in the future of our own children.”

He also added;

“Nobody who is a leader in northern Nigeria today can afford to be happy,” Sanusi said. You cannot be happy about 87% of poverty in Nigeria being in the north. You can’t be happy with millions of northern out-of-school children. You can’t be happy with 9 states in the north contributing almost 50% of the entire malnutrition burden in the country.

“You can’t be happy with the Boko Haram problem. You can’t be happy with all the issues.

“So, we wish Nasir a happy birthday, but we do not want him to be happy as a leader. Because you are happy when you think you have reached a state of delivering and taking your people to where you want them to be.”

Can they destroy themselves already??

OK, the law of harvest say, whatsoever a man sow so shall he reap,
You guys cause it from the very first beginning , you guys should deal with your problem

That is why their children attend Bokoharam school. Because the school is sponsored by NGO

Thank you correct emir, you are truly royalty, but wait and see how some dvmb ass's mofo will attack the emir, the truth is some northern elites benefits from the flawed system,,gosh,

Tell emir that his acceptors destroyed the North with primitive deception of Islam, and forceful distortion of their culture, values all to grab power for the Fulani tribe of which you are a beneficiary

I actually don't think it's necessary to tell a blind man it's raining.

Both Northern leaders and her indigenes will regret the kids gloves they used handling BH and Killer Fulani herdsmen

ok

The north is already damaged they can never win the war on terror . They created a monster they can't control it never .

The North is entirely different from South;they are simply parallel lines...It is very unwise to merge them as a country.
