Which Emir una want arrest, in Nigeria? First class Emir in the north for that matter.
Hmmm bunch of jokers

My sister, I taya for those tout oo!

Trump is a dreamer. I hope the person of FFK and his cohorts are watching this. Americans are not gullible as some Nigerians.

mynd1:
lol. Imagine them wailing from morning to night and u are telling me these guys are alright?

If only babies have sense, then, I will say they are alright.

mynd1:
Lol. No mind them,they are using Nairaland consul themselves. All thanks to Oga Seun.

My dear, true talk oo. How I wish I am as rich as Dangote to reward Oga Seun with an unexpected gift for give them this opportunity to wail more than bereave.

OP, you want to murder them before going to sleep? Chai! Dia ris God oo

Pidggin:
Another Emir sponsored post to tarnish the image of a mother who risked her life to rescue daughter and clear himself of any wrong doing. If Ese's parents are negligent what happened to Yinusa's parents who raised a paedophile, rapist and kidnapper?

When will you speak something sensible for even a second second?

When are our poliThieves received this same treatment?

Opinion
Former Biafran warlord Ikemba Odimegwu Ojukwu was definitely not everybody’s cup of tea. However admire him or not, there was no disputing that he spoke impeccable English and made several memorable observations about the Nigerian character. When asked why we cannot come to terms with our past, the Ikemba famously observed that despite having excellent memories, Nigerians suffer from “selective amnesia”.
In other words we deliberately choose what to remember and what to forget! This is ever so relevant today when there is increasing impatience, dissatisfaction, and discontent with President Muhammad Buhari (PMB) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) national government.



The likes of the self-promoting Senator Ben Murray Bruce; inconsistent Pastor Tunde Bakare; and ever erratic Fani-Kayode, have joined other critics in trying to spread disaffection with the government of the day as if an alternative currently exists. True to Ikemba’s observation PMB’s critics have chosen to forget the extent to which their People’s Democratic Party (PDP) mismanaged and ruined our economy between 1999 and 2015.
In those 16 years a bag of rice which originally sold for N2,500 increased to N11,000; the Naira which exchanged for N20 to a dollar in 1999 crashed to N220; petrol pump price increased by 800% from N11 per litre N87; and the price of a bag of cement increased from under N500 to N2,000. In addition to mismanaging the economy, the PDP also exacerbated our socio-political problems.
In 1999 the nation only had to contend with the activities of OPC, but by 2015 Niger Delta Militancy, MASSOB, IPOB, BAKASSI and Boko Haram had all flourished to the extent where they could disrupt public order. Most disastrously for the nation PDP also retarded our democratic progress. In 1999 they won a free and fair election but by 2015 they had institutionalized election rigging, ballot snatching, political assassinations, do or die politics together with rice and money sharing elections.
In truth the only thing the PDP managed to reduce in 16 years was life expectancy which was 59 years in 1999 but fell to 42 years by 2015! No reasonable person would expect that all these problems can be solved within eight months and in response to the critics the Governor of Bauchi State Barrister Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar, said, “it is unfair to judge the APC government so far…People should give us at least 16 years and see..”
Although Governor Abubakar is correct that it’s too early to judge, he and other members of the APC must be cautioned that they have four years, not sixteen, in which to convince the electorate that they have changed things for the better.
By 2019 the stock excuse that they met a ruined economy will not be good enough to win an election. The APC ran on a promise of change and while that change was not really defined, Nigerians believe it meant improvement in their personal circumstances. 
However there is no disputing that as a result of unending fuel scarcities, deterioration of both power supply and the value of our currency, and increasing insecurity occasioned by highway robbers, herdsmen, and Boko Haram things have changed for the worse. PMB is inexplicably opening himself up for criticism that he is insensitive preferring to embark on foreign trips and address the world press, while saying nothing to reassure the rest of us that the situation is temporary.
Indeed a major failing of his government is that other than the anti-corruption war they have not articulated any concrete plans or policies that patriotic Nigerians would buy into even if they belong to opposition parties.
Chief John Odigie Oyegun National Chairman of the APC says although nobody can give a date, he is sure Nigerians will see the results of a new government “very soon”. He had better be right for the sake of his Party because the APC should not expect to automatically rule for 16 years.
The reason PDP managed it was due to monumental election rigging in which the likes of Maurice Iwu sold their souls and wrote their names in the national hall of infamy.
Although the Supreme Court quite retrogressively rubbished the use of card readers Professor Jega’s tenure as Chairman ensured that such large scale election rigging is no longer possible and removing an incumbent government is very possible. It’s important that PMB and the APC realize that judgment of their administration will come in 2019 not 2031, and a quarter of that time has almost gone.
Unfortunately for PMB his party will have a difficult time effecting meaningful change within four years when so many APC leading lights are former PDP members who actively participated on the retarding the nation’s progress. However the PDP in its current state cannot provide an alternative government. If they don’t get their act together quickly it may just be that APC will get their sixteen years by default.

The only sunny side to the gloomy Ese Oruru saga is that her abductor, Yunusa Dahiru aka ‘Yellow’, did not turn out to be one of the low-level recruiters for Boko Haram or ISIS on the prowl. Whether he eloped with or actually abducted Ese, the young chap behaved irresponsibly. But, even less dignifying was the condemnable behaviour of Yunusa’s father who failed at parenting by seeing nothing wrong in living under the same roof with a teenager who was brought in by his teenage son and whose parents he, the father, knew nothing about. Heck!
Also less dignifying is the conduct of the Kano state Shari’a Commission aka Hisbah and the Kano state police command that failed to carry out the instruction of the Emir of Kano, Mallam Muhammadu Sanusi II. Reports have it that the Emir saw many things wrong with Ese’s desire to convert to Islam and marry Yunusa last August and directed the Shari’a Commission to hand her over to the police authorities in Kano.



The Kano police command confirmed this but claimed that since Ese was brought in late in the day, it requested the Shari’a commission to accommodate her for the night. The Hisbah people never showed up, according to the Kano state police command. So many nasty things happened to Ese between August when Emir Sanusi’s instruction was breached and last month when those concerned saw it fit to carry out the Emir’s instruction. Though Yunusa’s father lamely explained that his son never co-habited with Ese, there are media reports that say the young girl is carrying a five-month pregnancy!
Meanwhile, the Kano state police command and the state Shari’a commission are busy trading blames. While they are at it, it is interesting just to imagine what their reaction would have been had Yunusa’s last known address was Sambisa, the nation’s best-known evil   forest! Were it so and, had Yunusa despatched Ese there, perhaps all the hot air over her abduction would have been more coherent than it presently is. By the way, whoever said a 13-year old girl in Yenagoa who, for whatever reason, followed a man to Kano cannot extend her trip to Borno?
You don’t need to stretch the imagination too far. Until Turkey turned the screw on transit passengers, starry-eyed teenagers, some of them barely older than Ese, simply turned their back on schooling, forsook friends and family members and simply abandoned the relative comfort of comparatively affluent Europe only to surface in Raqqa, or any of the several ISIS-controlled godforsaken hellholes, either as consorts or war brides, of certified murderers.
Back home in Nigeria, there has been reports of teenagers who, in search of a supposed heavenly bliss, donated themselves as consorts to and, suicide bombers for, Boko Haram terrorists.  There were also reports of parents who, for similar reasons, donated their daughters to the terrorists for similar functions! Here, we are not talking of hundreds of schoolgirls or young village girls who were simply snatched and taken as war booty and forced to become war brides! Of course, the whole Ese saga smacks of failure in parenting but, irrespective of any observed gaps, we have cause to congratulate the entire Oruru family of Yenagoa for re-uniting with their daughter.
 The matter at hand is grave, made even graver by the drama introduced into it by Ese’s father, Charles. Of all the anguish and pain family members of abduction victims go through, it sounded a little out of this world that all Mr. Charles Oruru missed most during his daughters seven-month hibernation in Kura, in Kano state was, please don’t laugh, her dancing! His words: ‘I really missed her. What I missed most about her is her dancing!’ Mr. Charles should cheer up now that Ese is back home. You can bet there must have been a lot of drumming and dancing in the Oruru homestead in Yenagoa to make up for the ones Mr. Charles missed.
The Ese saga will continue to agitate many minds for some time to come. According to one report, Yunusa’s father said his son had been a domestic hand for the Oruru family for ten years before he abducted their daughter. That means, Yunusa was a minor, a mere eight-year old, when he started serving the Oruru family. This is not necessary now since Yunusa has landed himself in soup and will now need the services of lawyers to get him off the hook.
Of course, he has to be sanctioned, and appropriately too, to serve as a deterrent to others. What he is charged for is immaterial because there is nothing in the Islamic Shari’a which Yunusa subscribes to that permits abduction or rape or kidnapping and like vices. Just like the Kano state Police Command, the Kano State Shari’a Commission that would have been the appropriate body to try Yunusa cannot be a fair arbiter. The way it looks, Yunusa might be taken to Yenagoa to be tried since that is where he committed the offence. Meanwhile, a word of advice for Mr. Charles Oruru!
If he is one of those fathers who think it is unmanly to spare time and thought for their children, especially their daughters, it was time he started living in the present. Any thirteen-year old is still a kid: they should be in school and be showered with all the love parents can muster. Of course, peer pressure has a way of exerting negative influences on some thirteen year olds but it is the duty of parents to be on the lookout for the red flag. Failure by parents to read the signs right is the ultimate failure in parenting.
Ese is not the last of her kind around even though many would wish her case was a bad dream that will soon go away. A bad dream, yes, but this one is not about to go away in a hurry.

Not quite; in fact this is a long Fulani tradition which appears to have been adopted and modified by these Yourba youths.

In Fulde, it's called Sharo

Good.and u want me,a learned man of 40yrs.to believe that a 13yr old undereducated vilage girl.wrote this error free letter to an illiterate 17yr old notherm almajiri to read.i am ashamed of this nation.nigeria is nw a huge JOKE

Not al ragtag wearing Hausa/Fulani you are seeing in your area or anywhere in this country can be classified as an illiterate. There are even university graduated. It is jobless that make them that way. If you think I am lying, try to examine one in your area.

This is unbelievable!

ItsMeAboki:
Pls don't mind the half baked educated bigot.
Imagine, according to his warped logic; a northerner's education is worthless simply because he holds a different point of view - literally arrogating to himself a monopoly on opinion.
He and his ilk continue to hold onto false newspaper reporting of forced marriage and conversion when there was none - the prosecutors have since dropped these charges because they cannot establish a prima facie case against Yunusa as the papers had alleged.
I am really waiting for when the girl would be crossed examined in court - as many would have to eat their own words.
Imagine he is actually claiming rapist are not being arrested in the north as if the north is a sort of sanctuary for rapists - in fact the more I read the more angrier I get at such level of ignorance and stereotypical bigotry from one who claims superior education - its unbelievable but true.
Another annoying assumption is the believe that northerners are afraid of breakup; hence the veiled threat/ blackmail at the earliest opportunity - not realizing that the Lamido of Adamawa had already spoken the mind of most northerners on this issue at the national confab; we are not afraid, we will survive comfortably on our own with our yet untapped abundant resources (let those who have ears be careful what they wish for).

Double post.
