So going to Sudan for part of an education makes one a militant? Please talk like someone that has passed through an academic institution.

Provide evidence or proof Sanusi took part in a religious riot or any riot in the past. Pictures, news reports, anything.

Why are we going round in circles. I said provide any proof that Sanusi was initially a fundamentalist
I have....History doesn't forget. Abacha would have thrown him to Jail but he was coming from a Royal family and the case was closed....this is a known fact but people hardly talk about it today.

I will not waste my time pointing out the absurdities in the report itself. I will only point out the absurdity of Pointblanknews.com, an online news media that is less than 5 years old, being the source of events that happen in 1995.

How did you know this fact? I hope not from the Pointblanknews.com source you linked. Did you read the link at all?

It looks like something Reno Omokri would have written sitting in a bar.

Why list three links when they are all gotten from the same source - Pointblanknews.com, an online publication started in 2016.

Here are some absurdities in the report.
• Sanusi, and eight others were arrested and locked up for the crime, on the
orders of the then Head of State, General Sani Abacha.
Who are the 8 others? Don't they have names?

Pointblanknews.com recalled that, Sanusi, an alleged Boko Haram
sympathizer, and proponent of the controversial Islamic Bank, played a
role in the murder of Akaluka

Sanusi is a Boko Haram sympathisers, but the same Boko haram vow to attack the same Sanusi -
https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/173429-boko-haram-leader-shekau-releases-new-video-vows-attack-emir-sanusi-kano.html

Islamic banking was introduced by Prof Charles Soludo.

It was further learnt that after his release from prison, Sanusi was
handed over to Mutallab who pushed him into banking because he(Sanusi) had
a degree in Economics from Ahmadu Bello University (ABU).
Sanusi started his banking career at Icon in 1985 - a subsidiary of Morgan Guaranty Trust and Barings Bank, so Mutallab did not push Sanusi into banking.

As I said the story is so disjointed, it's a poor work of fiction.

The bad thing here was that he was removed from the throne when the north needed him the most. Remember his mission was to always say the truth to both the leaders and masses of the north to change path before it's too late for the current path will only lead to further destruction of the north and it's people. He championed girl child education, family and marriage affairs with his popular opinion which is firmly based on Islam that says If u don't have the means don't get married or father a child that will be other people's burden. Almajiri issue plaguing the north, poverty, education, corruption and that both leader and lead to fear Allah.


The Good part is that he is relieved from the burden of leadership for he has passed the message and left the rest in the Hands of his creature. For every human will only account for him self before the Lord except for a leader who shoulders the responsibility of his people.

Bad: Because he was unjustly removed.

Good: Because he paid the price of the curse placed on his grand father by an Igala King not with his life but the throne.

Obasanjo nah demon himself.

Hallibutton1234:
Those this mean the queen of England can be removed? Or it only happen in Nigeria? Those it mean the oba of Benin, Oyo or Ife can be removed? Am confuse here.

Queen of England cannot be removed because the British Government is a constitutional Monarchy, which she heads. She is like the President of Britain by force, no election. Every other person works under her. The British Prime Minister actually Deputizes the Queen in principle, but runs the Government in actuality. To make Britain a true democracy, the queen carefully absents herself from running the government, so she is just a figure head enjoying living off the people's tax.

This is like a compromise between people who wanted true democracy and those enjoying the privilege of Monarchy and Aristocrats in the wake of the French revolution that saw the Monarchs in France deposed by the people. That's why France has an elected president running the government, not a minister.


In the case of Nigeria. By Almalgamation all the Monarchs were already deposed by the British colonial Master's, they where just being used as purpets to control their lands. Oba of Benin was defeated by Britain and a his land taken under British Powers. The same applies to the Emirs in the North and the small monarchs in the west. They were all conquered by either military powers or trade deals. In the East, the British had issues, no one figure head to conquer or buy the land from. Having learnt how convenient it was to control the native population by leaving a monarch as a sitting duck, they recreated warrant chiefs as monarchs in the East.

At the creation of Nigeria as an independent country, our learned fore Father's knew the history so left all these Monarchs out if Government. They should not exist, it's that simple.
1. There are too many for the British model
2 You can't be running Democracy and Monarchy at same time.
3. They are bound to brew ethnic tensions over supremacy

So they were erased from all Nigerian Constitution. However, like the British, the Go overnors learnt how useful the monarchs can be in galvanizing people, and in recent times rigging elections. So they invented a seemingly geniune but illegal role for them by starting a tradition of giving them appointment letters. And starting council be of traditional rulers, and departments of Chieftaincy affairs.

In the real sense, a Governor cannot pass his sweeping executive ruling authority to any other person. So who exactly these traditional rulers are ruling is a legal question.

If you notice all the traditional rulers create an atmosphere of pomp and wealth to influence citizens, because they know they have no real powers. And secondly, the huge percentage of their followers are illitrates who have no clue. In their communities they thrive by intimidation of individuals, and create wealth from sales of communal lands.

The politicians turn a blind eye on this because they are very useful during elections. But when push comes to shove as in the case Sanusi, you realise they can be sacked by an elected Governor by the withdrawal of the useless appointment letter given to them. They are just like one of the Governor's special assistants. The later at least has a defined role. Like Special Assistant in Commedy in Imo State under Okorocha.

. Is their any difference between Obasanjo and power driven Kano state government? Why was Wagabara removed as the senate president? Why was Charles Osuji removed as the education minister? Were they properly investigated before he masterminded their removal ? Politicians are the same and are after protection of their interest.

It's you that is smiling on behalf of Jonathan. President jonathan and his people have moved on ages ago. It's people from the east that are still crying a whole 6 years after losing an election.

The most absurd thing is that it is still you people that are "chooking" your mouth into an issue that does not concern you. The political struggles of the Kano emirate council has nothing, and I mean nothing to do with the south east, but you people carry the matter more than kano state indigenes themselves.
