Kano Emirates: I’m more Fulani than noisemakers, says Ganduje

July 16, 2019

KANO State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has described those criticising the four emirates he created as noisemakers.

He said the critcs have no link to Fulani clan.

He said: “I am more Fulani than many of them. Some do not even have any trace to Fulani clan.”
During the creation of Bichi, Rano, Karaye and Gaya Emirates from the then Kano Emirate, there were criticisms from some quarters.

Some critics suggested that Ganduje did that to erode traditional Fulani historical dynasty.

Ganduje, however, maintained that “such individuals, who do not see good in what we did by the creation of more emirates, are mere noisemakers”.

He spoke when the Emir of Rano, Alhaji Tafida Abubakar (Autan Bawo), alongside elders and leaders from the emirate visited him for the role he played before the emergence of Alasan Ado Doguwa as the House of Representatives’ Majority Leader.

Doguwa represents Tudunwada/Doguwa Federal Constituency Kano State. District Head of Sumaila Alhaji Ibrahin Ado Bayero represented the emir.

“None of them can tell me he is more Fulani than I am. My grand grandfathers from both paternal and maternal side were all Fulani. So, also my grand grandmothers from both sides are all Fulani. Who among such people is more Fulani than me?” the governor queried.

Old letter he wrote July 2019. Why did the Op bring it up again and change the date to March 2020? Evil.

Full Text of Obasanjo’s Letter To Buhari on Insecurity in the Country
Dated July 15, 2019
by TELL

I am constrained to write to you this open letter. I decided to make it an open letter because the issue is very weighty and must be greatly worrisome to all concerned Nigerians and that means all right-thinking Nigerians and those resident in Nigeria. Since the issue is of momentous concern to all well-meaning and all right-thinking Nigerians, it must be of great concern to you, and collective thinking and dialoguing is the best way of finding an appropriate and adequate solution to the problem. The contents of this letter, therefore, should be available to all those who can help in proffering effective solutions for the problem of insecurity in the land.

The $7m reward has been on offer since 2013.

IS DANGOTE FROM OIL PRODUCING AREA? - RESOURCE CONTROL NOW![b][/b]

The nine top oil producing states in Nigeria are:

Akwa Ibom- the largest oil producer with 31.4% (504,000 BPD)
Delta – 21.56% (346,000 BPD)
Rivers – 21.43% (344,000 BPD)
Bayelsa – 18.07% (290,000 BPD)
Ondo – 3.74% (60,000 BPD)
Lagos – 2.64% (40,000 BPD)
Edo – 2.06% (33,000 BPD)
Imo-1.06 % (17,000 BPD)
Abia-0.68% (11,000 BPD) (Nigerian bureau of Statistics 2017)

Resource Control is what USA states, Switzerland, France and many other countries have. Because it is fair!

Is Dangote from oil producing area? So why is he controlling resources of others by building oil refinery? Why him?

Lagos is oil producing so is ok for refinery to be in oil producing area.

Dangote should control the resources of Arewa.

Resource Control is fair. It is what will make Nigeria work nicely.

Together with Borders Control and Self-Determination.

RESOURCE CONTROL NOW! RESTRUCTURING NOW!

Dangote is Nigerian. The oil belongs to Nigeria. So he is free to do business in the sector like every other Nigerian.

We are actually in a better place. Some of you were either born yesterday or are suffering from memory loss.

When the time comes we shall separate billionaires from demonic abyss money mongers

When the time comes ,

.as 4 poor igbos ,yes Switzerland has a slum suburb of Zurich , Dubai has it slums

Are those the only billionaires you know? Have you heard of people like Micheal Ade-Ojo, Tunde Folawiyo, Gbenga Oyebode, Fola Adeola, Oba Otudeko, Molade Okoya Thomas? I guess not. Educated Igbos know the truth.

Rekhina:
afonja Moslem igbos has millions of billionaires believe it or not

They also have millions of poor just like other ethnic groups. And there are millions of billionaires (In Naira) from other ethnic groups as well.

Boko Haram uprising started in 2009, 6 years before Buhari came to power.

Lets go and beg GEJ to come back, so Boko Haram can go back to bombing churches, mosques, schools, universities, UN buildings etc.

Some people have totally lost their mind.

Awol1:
They are working so hard to gather points they'd consider enough to curry the Eastern votes in 2023.

But hey, I think I need to remind us that the Second Niger bridge was commissioned as Public Private Partnership Project.

What that means, as I remember president GEJ saying then, is that once the govt pays it's counterpart fund for the project, which Jonathan did, the project will go on irrespective of who is in power.

That's the truth they don't want us to remember.

You guys are very funny. GEJ's deal ws cancelled. That PPP was a scam put together by Peter Obi.

The new contract put together by Buhari and Fashola is 100% funded by the FG and a better deal for the country.

Sanwo-Olu is not lifting any ban. The ban in the 6 local governments is permanent. People will get used to it. Most car users are very happy with the ban.

You need help. Jobless and poverty is bad but insanity is much worse.

What is present state?

You miss the point. It is not unconstitutional and that is why no one has any serious qualms about the CJTF. Beyond this, some Northern states have other vigilante, neighbourhood outfits similar to Amotekun and they carry weapons. They were also formed without any one bothering them because it is community policing. The reason these comparisons now arise is because of the odious hypocrisy displayed by the Northern interests. Apart from Hisbah which is religious-based and backed by state laws, these other groups have no legal backing so why the special interest and unnecessary noise in the South? The Rivers State House of Assembly passed a law establishing a neighborhood watch sometime in 2018 (see links added), yet the Army disbanded them and branded it illegal so what exactly is the problem?

https://punchng.com/soldiers-stop-rivers-vigilance-corps-training/

@the bold I agree with you to the extent that our representatives at federal level and even state governors are selfish. Like this issue of Rivers I just mentioned, I see no reason why the state allowed the issue to die upon the interference of the Army without a spirited legal fight considering that the organization is backed by state law.

You are wrong. Any state or neighbourhood security corps that carry weapons are illegal. It is clearly stated in our constitution.

And you have to ask yourself why the "North" did not raise alarm and complain when Ambode launched the Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Corps in 2016? See pics below. The simple reason was because it was not regional and they were not allowed to carry arms.

Wike's excuse was that he couldn't fund it, not because the army came in. He couldn't be bothered to challenge it since he didn't really want to spend the money.

freeze001:
No one would have declared it illegal because Southerners generally have a progressive mindset and understand the importance of security and preservation of life however it can be gotten. However, the Northern hypocrites I see you are holding brief for have played their hands now more clearly than ever before. More discerning persons had long seen their antecedents and raised the alarm but now, other slumbering Southerners have been forced awake and can see the writing very clearly.

For the current Northern government to declare illegal in the South, that which operates freely in their own domain, they have clearly shown their agenda. No more dulling from the South again, one Nigeria is not by force and neither is it compulsory. Regional governance is also very welcome and will come to pass as the islamic north thinks they must be lord and master of all

You call ignoring a possible unconstitutional act a progressive mindset? If the "South" decided to keep quiet and ignore what might have been an unconstitutional act, don't now cry foul and blame the North for raising an objection when they see unconstitutional act that they feel is detrimental to their region. I have always said it that Nigerians in the South need to do an inward assessment of the purpose of their legislators who are being paid billions of Naira to represent them.

The truth is Civilian JTF's brief (counter-insurgency) is very different from Amotekun's (crime fighting). For obvious reasons, the former would need sophisticated weapons while the latter might not. So the poster comparing both is being disingenuous. Sadly going by the posts here, a lot of people have fallen for it.

Yujin:
The two situations are not the same. The US army is fighting a well entrenched Taliban group which was a government before the American intervention. The US army is fighting them in outside US territory plus the rocky terrain that the Taliban has mastered. Do you even know the population of the Taliban?
Compare that to the NA fighting a ragtag group within the Nigerian territory which is more a level ground with less hideouts. Incompetence and politics are the reasons for the lingering exchange.
Do you even know why bh don't operate anymore in Kano and Kaduna? Do you think it is improved security? Lol. If it is improved security, why do the fulanis still operate in Kaduna as they please in the form of bandits? You don't know what is in the offing for the naive.

You are very wrong. The USA/Tliban war is comparable to the Nigeria/Boko Haram war. The USA military is 100 times better funded, equipped and advanced than the Nigerian army and Taliban yet they have not been able to wipe out Taleban fighters. The poorly funded and equipped Nigerian army have also not been able to get rid of the ragtag group operating across 3 borders. The common factor in both cases is that both national armies are fighting guerrilla wars. Yes incompetence and politics might play a part, but the primary reason is the type of war they are fighting.

BeachLife:
I can't judge the president's performance because I've no clue what's going on , but I think the president and senate only need to do one thing ,not 75 : Enact true federalism (Autonomy for all ethnic nations ).

How many ethnic nations would that be? I hear we have over 300 ethnic groups and 500 languages.

Yujin:
Do you really imagine that BH is armed like the Nigerian army? If you think so, then you clearly do not know about the politics at play with Boko haram. That the fulani led government are toying with the lives of Nigerian soldiers while pampering Boko haram doesn't mean that they can't be wiped out if a serious government wants to do so. By has no armoured vehicles. There mechanized/motorized guns are mostly improvised compared to what Nigeria have. They have no air support which the NA have yet you claim they're better equipped. Boko haram is clearly a game by northern politicians for three purposes namely; intimidation, looting and training. What is their manpower? 20,000, 30,000 or more? Can you compare that with the NA? It's all a game.

Its no game. Its an unconventional war where the enemy is not visible. The same reasons why the USA military have not wiped out Taleban in over 10 years of fighting in Afghanistan.

Kekereekun123:
who go buy They paid over 100m pounds for the rights

And they will generate more money by selling at commercial rates to other pay TV platforms. The disadvantage to DSTV is that they would lose the leverage of being the exclusivity broadcaster and lose subscribers. But they will still earn the bulk of the subscriber fees from other platforms.

Selling commercial rates means selling to subscribers through other platforms. Usually the pay TV platform e.g. StarTimes will buy in bundles of 10k. 20k, 100k subs at a rate slightly lower than what DSTV subscribers pay for those rights. Both DSTV and Startimes get a share of the fee. Obviously, the bulk of the fee goes to DSTV since StarTimes would have to sell it at competitive rates.

FG prohibits exclusivity rights in sports broadcasting

DSTV takes their sole privilege on broadcasting EPL matches from the premiership regulators.Meanwhile, it will a good thing if Nigeria can indiginize and break the monopoly of the SA owned DSTV but hope the privilege will not go to the archaic NTA?

DSTV will still own the rights but they would be compelled to sell to other Pay TV operators like StarTimes at commercial rates. This is similar to what happens in the UK.

festacman:
What is the difference between Boko haram terrorists attacking a vulnerable people and Nigerian soldiers extorting the same vulnerable people who are already traumatized?

Nigerian military authorities should do the needful because this video, which has gone viral and already 'YouTubed' is a BLOT on the image of Nigerian Army hitherto higly regarded for its exemplary conduct at UN peacekeeping missions.

It depicts poor state of discipline and zero empathy for local community. It is a show of SHAME.

What kind of person makes such a comparison? You can castigate the offending officers but your comparison is very insensitive to the families of those that have been beheaded, raped and shot by the evil Boko Haram.

Who is this OP?

So, you claim to know more than Lai Mohammed the regime's spokesman who stated recently that our total debt stock is $83bn?


See link https://www.instagram.com/p/B6s4bIRAq87/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
channelstelevision The Nigerian Government has put the total public debt stock of the nation at $83 billion.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Mr Lai Mohammed, disclosed this while addressing a press conference on Monday in Ikeja, Lagos State.

He decried that the country’s debt stock was being misrepresented by those he described as scaremongers.

According to Mohammed, Nigeria is not in debt trouble as being circulated as the nation is within a reasonable debt to its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ratio.

He explained that the debt was an accumulation of successive government activities, adding that the economic state of the country was good.

For more visit www.channelstv.com

Nope. Both Lai and myself know more than you and Obasanjo.

The total debt stock of Nigeria (FG, States and FCT) as at June 2019 was $83bn. And the same debt stock as at June 2015 was $63.81bn. The debt stock is made up of both external loans and domestic loans. Nobody is disputing that except empty heads who can't read and comprehend basic figures.

What you and others like you are missing (some intentionally, some are just daft) is that Obasanjo claimed that Nigeria's EXTERNAL debt at June 2015 was $10bn and the same EXTERNAL debt today is $80bn. I can't help you if you don't understand the error in his statement. This is not a kindergarten school.

GEJDHERO:
Your father is a Daft just like Buhari.Pls read and comprehend.IDIOT

Ndo. I see you are in sifia pains because I told you the truth. Its not too late to get some proper education. Only if your father knew what he had to do, he wouldn't have ended up with a daft child like you. Olodo.
