A very strong power is behind this man's audacity. He can't dare within his own powers. Someone somewhere is doing something to burn down Kano.
No one is going to burn down Kano except those who feel they could weild power and undo the one who is seated in the mini palace. Some day let SLS write a book concerning all this after all it is a family affair. Politicians will come and go but the Emir stool will remain forever even though maybe it may abolished someday, those who are of royal blood will have their bloods coloured

So find out before you come online to ask sarcastic questions

Except if he is looking for sympathy vote, there are people who pull more grassroots than him. He is only now enjoying a privilege position and it only comes once. Good a thing he has become more popular because of Wike and is trending here and there in any news.

If you are a Christian, attach yourself with one of the faithful Bible believing fellowships, do it committedly and also go for evangellsim. Whenever you see him make it a point of duty to preach the gospel of Christ Jesus to him that he may be saved.

Hi nairaland! gud morning. I have a little complain nd need advise.

Okay. Let's say you are a student(100l) you leave in a place populated by a certain cult(vikings) so early this year, you had an issue with ur door, needed to fix it so someone called someone who happens to be a vikings member. He came check the door gave you a particular cost, which you told him you couldn't afford to pay he left and you later find a way of fixing the door through the same person that call the so-called cultist for you.

Now he still brings this matter till date telling you, you used him to play, threatening you that if he decides to order boys, say them go play you or obtain you even ruff handle you(nd you are not new in this cult thins oo, just that you are not a member of any, 48) he have said this thing twice, even yesterday night he said it to me. Now this is not a today or yesterday something, and as far as am concerned i didn't do anything wrong to this guy, i even dash am smoke few days back so i nor know why he still dey repeat the matter.

My issue self nor be the matter make he dey repeat but the fact say for am to dey repeat the matter(which is not even an issue at all) with threat means he got me in his mind which is not gud at all for me. I have made a decision that i will not greet him again nd will do my best to avoid him. Infact i regretted ever knowing him if nor be the guy make bring am to me becoz of my door we for nor even dey relate at all. I nor know say na so injus guys dey behave very bad, nd he is not even a student self.
Have you informed the person who introduced him to know the threat words he is using towards you and what was his response?
The person who introduced you to him is he a student just as you are and is he also a member just as the other guy is?

Hello all,

I bought a duplex last year and completed it. I wanted to install a water pressure pump recently, so I called a plumber to help assess the plumbing.
He says the plumbing of the house (which was done before I purchased it) was done with inferior quality pipes.
Is there any solution to this? Or a water pressure pump with adjustable pressure.
Thanks
Look for another good plumber and let him come and do a pressure test on all the pipes in the entire building. Be sure to be around to check as it's being done or send someone who do same.
That way you can make a better decision.

I asked you instead of what the River's State Constitution says on this. Knowing that is the only way to be clear on whether it is in fact unconstitutional. undecided
So you are saying those Muslims who kill those who they claim to blaspheme Mohammed are in the right because they acted out of the Sharia Constitution in their States and because it's a State law and constitution, it supercedes the law and constitution of the FRN?

1. The power to install Caretaker Local Government existed in the state laws during the time of Wike as well, and he used it
2. The lawmakers who decamped from PDP to APC did attempt to deprive the Fubara Government of that same power by amending the laws but ultimately failed in their plot.

So, if the law makers themselves acknowledged by their attempt that such a provision is in fact contained in River State Law, what is it that you are trying to argue here? undecided

I have myself not been able to see the actual law in order to ascertain whether it is constitutional or not myself but if you had kindly display it here so I too can see what you mean when you claim it is unconstitutional. undecided
What does Section 7 of the 1999 Constitution provide for?

Villagepipu & Bixton
Caretaker Chairmen is very unconstitutional. That is why everyone incoming governor removes the LGA Chairmen in place even though they were elected because the outgoing governor only did the election of bringing them properly just some few months to the end of his tenure. That has been the practice. Theres hardly any governor who does it right.

You seem not to have followed the issue from the beginning and what led to their social media decamping.

I don't even understand this issue anymore. Why will the Sultan be the one to appoint kingmakers?
This practice shows that something is wrong about that and there really is no royal houses in place.
The history of the entry of the Fulani's and their Jihadist movement into Northern Nigeria and Nigeria at large needs to be looked into.

The constitution gave a grace period of 90 days to conduct the election.
Please put that constitution on here for all to see it as it's written. Is it a State constitution of a Federal Constitution?
Thanks.

Nevertheless that same constitution of the Federal Government of Nigeria disapproves of Caretaker Chairman to be appointed.
We all know that the Constitution of the FRN supercedes all other constitution and everyone is expected to abide and adhere to it.

I don't pick words and stick to one aspect of it. Mandate encompasses alot of things. If it's not done then there was no mandate. By the way the people never actually choose a leader.

Birds of the same feather......
The same way tenure of LGAC chairmen is unconstitutional likewise putting in place CareTaker Chairmen is unconstitutional.....

That's how it is. The governor should not be speaking from both sides of their mouth and choosing what suits them.


The issue in Rivers State was that the SHAM (State House Assembly Members) preinformed the Governor to conduct LG elections so that transition from one elected LG chairman to another is smooth but the governor chooses to go the old ways of selfish and greedy leaders.

Can all the state governors conduct LG elections within 3 months of their swearing in to office rather than put Caretaker Chairmen till 7 years in office and do elections when their governorship administration is coming to an end?

There are many ways for conflict resolution.. diplomacy is one very potent way with less damage done.

From reliable source, Wike actually brought the guy up and imposed him on Rivers PDP.. he didn't have the connections or that political sagacity to contest for Governorship seat in Rivers State, it's all thanks to Wike that he is on that seat he is in today.

Whatever might have caused the quarrel can be discussed in closed door roundtable meeting with royal fathers, youths representatives and elders in Rivers State present. Then they'll both have the floor to express their minds and say things from their various perspectives for those present to reconcile them.

It's only those who don't know what 'Federal might' is that will think Fubara can drag shoulder with his predecessor who is now in the Federal caucus. Yorubas are not like that o, don't know why Rivers people are happy taking sides while two of their leaders fight dirty.
Theres so much that cant be written in social columns.
Nevertheless Rivers people are majorly taking sides against Wike because of his fight with Atiku and mostly the role he played to seeing that PBAT won the elections.

SoNature:
We have never seen the police take over a government house because a tribunal kicked out a sitting governor.

The security operatives always give enough time for the incumbent governor to appeal the case until it's eventually decided by the Supreme Court.

The action of the police in this matter shows there are invisible federal actors, which give directives to the police, interested in this case.
Your comment shows it's either you have taken sides with your favorite Emir or you're allowing sentiments and emotion be at play.

I'm very sure you have read the judgment given by the Federal High Court and it was straight and plain to all understanding.

Mabe you should try find out the State Government submission on some aspects of the judgment.


I just know that with all this happening, the laws will have to be amended because whatever is happening now shows that State Government will over over abuse their powers.

Traditional institutions or religious leaders are not supposed to allign themselves with any political aspirant especially towards an election season. They are supposed to take a neutral stand at all times given their followers and people who look up to them.

Nevertheless the governor can bring in certain laws that can decentralize powers of traditional institutions that they would focus more on the welfare and development of the region they find themselves.

The Kano Emirate being carved into 5 is a good thing irrespective of the reason behind it. Because even those who claim that it is bad also have a selfish reason behind such to remain same.

He reaffirmed his commitment to continuing his work on social reforms and supporting the welfare of Kano people.


As regard the bolded, what does Sanusi mean by social reforms?
Has the Almajiri system abolished in Kano?
Are the rights of women been given and adhered to by the men?
Even the Muslims in Saudi Arabia have better social reforms compared to what we have in Kano?
With the knowledgeable base and intellectual capacity of Sanusi 2 , I expected better things using his influence for the good success of Kano but he went about getting himself in political issues in public places demeaning the office of the former governor and making it look like he did nothing.
We all know traditional institutions don't publicly take any dominant sides in politics.

Please can someone tell us how the Emirate come about in Kano that is older than that in Sokoto?

What name was it called before it became an Emirate because I do know the name Emirate is a borrowed name and not from the regions in Northern Nigeria...
