EMIR SANUSI BARES HIS MIND ON HAUSA, IGBO AND YORUBA… THE PROBLEM OF NIGERIA….. A MUST READ !

The former Central Bank Governor, and Emir of Kano His Royal Highness Muhammadu Sanusi the second , surprised guests present at the Muson Centre for the launching of the book of Sir Olaniwun Ajayi.

Below is his unedited speech.

“Let me start by saying that I am Fulani (laughter). My grandfather was an Emir also fulani my uncle and guardian was also the immediate late Emir of Kano Alhaji Ado Bayero and therefore I represent all that has been talked about this afternoon. Sir Ajayi has written a book. And like all Nigerians of his generation, he has written in the language of his generation.

“My grandfather was a Northerner, I am a Nigerian. The problem with this country is that in 2009, we speak in the language of 1953. Sir Olaniwun can be forgiven for the way he spoke, but I cannot forgive people of my generation speaking in that language.

“Let us go into this issue because there are so many myths that are being bandied around. Before colonialism, there was nothing like Northern Nigeria, Before the Sokoto Jihad, there was nothing like the Sokoto caliphate. The man from Kano regard himself as bakane. The man from Zaria was bazazzage. The man from Katsina was bakatsine. The kingdoms were at war with each other. They were Hausas, they were Muslims, they were killing each other.

“The Yoruba were Ijebu, Owo, Ijesha, Akoko, Egba. When did they become one? When did the North become one? You have the Sokoto Caliphate that brought every person from Adamawa to Sokoto and said it is one kingdom. They now said it was a Muslim North.

“The Colonialists came, put that together and said it is now called the Northern Nigeria. Do you know what happened? Our grand fathers were able to transform to being Northerners. We have not been able to transform to being Nigerians. The fault is ours.

Tell me, how many governors has South West produced after Awolowo that are role models of leadership? How many governors has the East produced like Nnamdi Azikiwe that can be role models of leadership? How Many governors in the Niger Delta are role models of leadership? Tell me. There is no evidence statistically that any part of this country has produced good leaders.

You talk about Babangida and the problems of our economy. Who were the people in charge of the economy during Babangida era? Olu Falae, Kalu Idika Kalu. What state are they from in the North?

“We started the banking reform; the first thing I heard was that in Urobo land, there will be a curse of the ancestors. I said they (ancestors) would not answer. They said why? I said how many factories did Ibru build in Urobo land? So, why will the ancestors of the Urobo people support her?

“We talk ethnicity when it pleases us. It is hypocrisy. You said elections were rigged in 1959, Obasanjo and Maurice Iwu rigged election in 2007. Was it a Southern thing? It was not. “The problem is: everywhere in this country, there is one Hausa, Ibo, Yoruba and Itshekiri man whose concern is how to get his hands on the pile and how much he can steal.

Whether it is in the military or in the civilian government, they sit down, they eat together. In fact, the constitution says there must be a minister from every state.

“So, anybody that is still preaching that the problem of Nigeria is Yoruba or Hausa or Fulani, he does not love Nigeria . The problem with Nigeria is that a group of people from each and every ethnic tribe is very selfish. The poverty that is found in Maiduguri is even worse than any poverty that you find in any part of the South.

The British came for 60 years and Sir Ajayi talked about few numbers of graduates in the North (two as at independence). What he did not say was that there was a documented policy of the British when they came that the Northerner should not be educated. It was documented. It was British colonial policy. I have the document. I have published articles on it. That if you educate the Northerner you will produce progressive Muslim intellectuals of the type we have in Egypt and India. So, do not educate them. It was documented. And you say they love us (North) more than the south.

“I have spent the better part of my life to fight and Dr. (Reuben) Abati knows it. Yes, my grandfather was an Emir. Why was I in the pro-democracy movement fighting for June 12? Is (Moshood) Abiola from Kano ? Why am I a founding director of the Kudirat Initiative for Nigerian Development (KIND)?

“There are good Yoruba people, good Igbo people, good Fulani people, good Nigerians and there are bad people everywhere. That is the truth. “Stop talking about dividing Nigeria because we are not the most populous country in the world. We have all the resources that make it easy to make one united great Nigeria . It is better if we are united than to divide it.

“Every time you talk about division, when you restructure, do you know what will happen? In Delta Area, the people in Warri will say Agbor, you don’t have oil. When was the Niger Delta constructed as a political entity? Ten years ago, the Itshekiris were fighting the Urobos. Isn’t that what was happening? Now they have become Niger Delta because they have found oil. After, it will be, if you do not have oil in your village then you cannot share our resources.

“There is no country in the world where resources are found in everybody’s hamlet. But people have leaders and they said if you have this geography and if we are one state, then we have a responsibility for making sure that the people who belong to this country have a good nature.

“So, why don’t you talk about; we don’t have infrastructure, we don’t have education, we don’t have health. We are still talking about Fulani. Is it the Fulani cattle rearer or is anybody saying there is no poverty among the Fulani?”, he said.
LESSONS FROM THIS MESSAGE

Tribalism is not our problem. Tribalism and religion are artificial problems created by selfish leaders for their own personal interest.

There are only two major tribes in Nigeria. The Elites and the Masses. Once you make lots of money, you belong to the elite tribe. When you are a commoner or suffering, you belong to the tribe of the masses. If you are an elite, and you need more power, or elective position, you sow seeds of tribalism and religion among the masses, so as to sway their emotion for your personal victory. This happens at both the national and state level. Unfortunately, after the election when they have won and joined their “sworn enemies” to drink and party, the gullible masses continue to fight each other.

Even smart people who belong to the masses, sometimes will sow seeds of tribalism and religion among the masses, and then the masses will carry them up until they belong to the elite class. It is a classic strategy used over 3000 years ago in the art of war. A commoner who aspires to sit with the elites, could stir up powerful tribal or religious sentiments, such wave if properly utilized either by shedding blood or destabilizing the elites, carries the commoner to the elite class. But once there, he immediately mingles and makes peace with the elite tribe, and turn his back on the same masses that helped him get there.

Youths are the worst victim of this powerplay, they kill each other, call other tribes unprintable names, do terrible things and sometimes, even lose their life, thinking they are fighting for their right, not knowing that they are fighting for the personal welfare of someone, whose own children are probably safe in America or London.

So youths, don’t hope on the government. If you don’t have a job, create one. There is abject poverty in the south as well as the north, whether Ogoni or Maidugri. At the same time, there is massive wealth in Lagos, Onitsha, Nnewi, Aba, Kano, Abuja, irrespective of zone.

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it well and never remain idle. No job is too low for an idle hand, or else the devil will find work for you. As you become independent, and grow your capacity, do not lose hope in Nigeria. We are the largest economy in Africa and soon the world will fear us. Western powers, don’t like big economies that threaten them, America will do anything to break China, but China is wise to resist that. China has 1.6 billion people, we have only 170 million, and we are talking of breaking.

China has 5 major religions which are Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Islam and Christianity. Nigeria has only 2 major religions, Christianity and Islam. Yet we claim that religion is our problem.

America, the strongest economy is comprised of every tribe in the world, since they accept anybody from any part of the world. Yet they are united and extremely patriotic. Nigeria has only 3 major tribes, and we claim tribalism.

Think clearly and deeply, and you will realize that empowering yourself is the best course of action, not fighting each other. And once the youths are empowered, they can begin to take back their future from the hands of the old and corrupt generation that has been blinding Nigerians with hatred, while looting all her resources. Sani Abacha’s loot is still stashed away in Switzerland, did he use it to develop the north? Those that stole billions under GEJ stashed it away in foreign banks, bought expensive toys, jets and foreign homes, are they using it to develop the south? Now the ones stealing currently, including the “grasscutters”, are looking for Ikoyi apartments, abandoned houses, and pit toilets to hide it, are they using it for the youths in their tribe? NO!

Youths shine your eyes ! Don’t always fall for this tribal, religious sentiments over and over again. Nigeria is bigger than these corrupt elites. They are the problem, not the poor masses.

azimibraun:
A picture of him was posted on hospital bed but no picture of his burial. What is truly going on? I want the official statement of the police made public. Some people want to contribute but they are not sure. That is according to what I have been seeing especially on NL.

From the story I read on Nairaland yesterday, I think many police were involved, this man with another police man died, one was shot in the eye while one is still alive. The One alive was quoted in the report on Nairaland yesterday.

You mean for sale?

Shakitibob0:
very cheap...chai

Before you start, just try to read a little online about business registration in Nigeria.

There are good tutorials on Nairaland.

Equipping yourself with the necessary information and knowledge will safe you from avoidable errors and mistakes.

orbitame2011:
It depends on the number of shares.
If you are registering 2,000,000 shares, you should spend between #20,000 to #30,000(as at last year when I did it) including the Stamp Duty.

Yes, they are needed.

Shakitibob0:
Orbitame2011

Thanks sir for the information..... Please How much did you spend to get this done?

And Also, Are the memorandum of association and other documents needed?

It depends on the number of shares.

Shakitibob0:
please put up the tutorial.... Let's put the agents to shame

In summary, I did my name search on their Website, paid #500 with Credit Card(that was before REMITA).
I got the result on my email within 24hours.

After the Company name was approved. I proceeded with the Company registration on their website and also pay with credit Card.

After the company registration on their website, I was expecting that I will be called to collect my certificate. After waiting endlessly, I called their office and I was told to printout my documents and bring them to their office.

I printed the Documents and submitted them to their office. The Documents went from One Office to the other.

I was thinking then that the processes will take like three weeks or a month but it took days or a week.

I made just a mistake(I wrote just a mistake because I saw many Lawyers there making series of mistakes) when filling the form online. I corrected it and resubmitted it.

It was processed and approved, the certificate was awarded.

I got my certificate without bribing anybody one kobo.

I met some Lawyers then that promised me my registration will not be approved because I'm not a Lawyer.

Note: I did a lot of research online then and I really gained from a tutorial I read on Nairaland by an handler named lawyer (not really sure if that's the spellings).

Shakitibob0:
Sir...Was it LTD or just Business Name?

Limited Sir. When I did it then, some of the Staff stood against it that I need to have Lawyer number. It was One of the Directors (I'm not related to the Director and I didn't give him one naira) that told the Staff that it's no more part of the criteria.

Shakitibob0:
please put up the tutorial.... Let's put the agents to shame

Let's see how it will be but it may not be now because my Laptop was stolen.

nickxtra:
You will still them to do certain tasks in the process

I did my with no input from any Lawyer. I intended putting up a tutorial on it but no time.

Shakitibob0:
sir...did you register your company via same medium?

I did mine through the portal last year May.

Profitable Agriculture Businesses (invest Today).

Agriculture is a very widespread field that involves a lot, from crop cultivation, animal husbandry to processing and selling of agricultural product. It has always been part of life even before man learnt how to cultivate crops and rear animals; nature has played the agricultural part for man.
Most times when we talk about agricultural business, most people just looked at it at just the farming and rearing process, but they are so many aspect in agriculture that from earlier days of men, it has been one of the main source of employment and from of livelihood as well as sustenance for man.
There are many businesses that can be ventured into in agriculture, some of these are;
1. Crop cultivation: this involve the normal we are all familiar with, the process of clearing of land, planting and weeding and harvesting. This involve lots of work and many people are not too interested in crop cultivation as it is labor intensive and time consuming. It is very common in the rural area and few goes into it in large scale production with mechanized farming. The government in America and Europe encourages large scale, mechanized crop production by providing certain incentive.
2. Animal husbandry: this is a form of agriculture business that involves rearing of animals. It includes fish farming, cattle rearing, piggery, poultry and many more. It is very common nowadays especially in the cities.
3. Feeds business: as some people gets involved in animal husbandry and with the rate it is becoming common, a good business to venture to is selling of animal feeds. Companies are coming up in Nigeria manufacturing animal feeds and being a supplier a dealer is another avenue in agricultural field to explore.
4. Equipment leasing: in the process of farming or rearing animals some equipment are needed both in large and small scale production. Tractors, pumping machines, wheel barrow and other small farming equipment might be needed at one stage or the other as some farmers find it easier to hire some equipment as they are needed only on seasonal bases. So investing in agricultural equipment is another form of business especially in areas that areas where agriculture is the main occupation.
5. Financier: now this is one aspect that many people will be interested in as they may not like to go into agriculture directly because of the nature of the job or they have little or no knowledge of running the business. They may decide to finance the project with an agreement of percentage of the profit.
6. Land renting: this is very common especially in the rural area where people decide to rent their land especially for large scale production. Some may draw out an agreement to rent the land for a number of years depending on the type of cultivation or animal to be reared.
7. Consultant: some people based on their expertise especially graduate in the agricultural field can decide to lend their services and consult based on their knowledge and get paid for it.
8. Production of packaged products: this is another kind of lucrative business as one can buy the product cheaply in large quantities and process and packaged them properly after being processed. Recently lots of flour packaged products are flooding the market from yam flour, cassava flour, plantain chips, tomato paste and many more.
9. Production of juice and jam: Nigeria produce lots of seasonal fruits that goes to waste due to lack of proper storage. A good business venture will be production of fruit juice and jam. These fruits in their season of harvesting can be preserved and processed into juice that can be packaged and sold.
10. Agro chemical business: this involve manufacturing of chemicals that can be used as fertilizers, while opening and operating a fertilizer production company can be expensive, one can go into the supply part of the business.
