I dont see what kings do o

All they do is wear oversized clothes, a very big hat and sit on a rather big chair, probably sleep on a king-size bed

They have big problems like kidnapping...

If you wonder why the army has not made any significant progress in combating insurgency, wonder no more.

From 2003 to 2006, he was Nigeria's
Defense Attaché to Pakistan

Nigerian extremist fought alongside Taliban during that period. All common wealth defense attaches were moved to Afghanistan from Pakistan. Shortly After he became the sultan, Taliban styled attacks started gradually in Nigeria. This is why the USA is pointing him aside been a Fulani and patron of Miyetti Allah 🤷🏿

Which is Nigeria Spiritual leader.
Not all Nigerians, or am getting something wrong

The USA knows more than what many Nigerians know about this man.

Thats how they concoct titles to enslave people. Someone will overdose on Amala n Gbegiri somewhere then call himself Afenifere(lover of human success). This sultan is using the peaceful reach of islam into southwestern parts of the nation around 500 years ago to consolidate the silent jihad that seeks to allow one group lord it over Nigerians.
Who elected him a spiritual leader over regions never conquered by fulani or pre-colonial jihadi?
As it stands now, the civil war is being interpreted as one fought against southern Nigeria so therefore, SW, SS,SE are conquered. Rubbish!
This is why Buhari could open his mouth like drunken policeman rifle and claim there is a grazing gazzette that cover old southern protectorate.

Humn! Sultan as Nigerian army officer ( like Shiek Ahmad Gumi that retired as a captain) are all opposing annihilation of BH terrorists. Yet people expect Islamic terrorism to end?

Hmmm now i understand

It’s now clear those holding the north on ransom… truly core north needs to be a country of its own while other parts of Nigeria remain as one

The king of almajiris all hail.

Why are you trembling and on ya knees cap in hands posting this?!

😁😁😁😁

What kind of ridiculous journalism is this? They didn’t include the year he joined the military, no details of his progression through the ranks, nothing about his key postings. Yet they boldly tagged it as his military career. If you can’t provide basic facts, then what exactly are you reporting?

He ain't my spiritual leader!

He doesn't come anywhere close!!

This is probably the last sultan we’ll have in this country

This man don overdo. Person wey wan put shariah courts in Yoruba land

He is The Father of All Deadly Islamic Extremist Jihadist, He Said Nothing When Deborah Was Killed , He Has Never Condemned Islamic Extremist Jihadist Fanatics Killing Christians.

When will you tell us about sultan of shokoto career in Boko Haram protection and defense?!

Quota system is really dealing with Nigeria.

This is great revelation, that calls for serious introspection! What sort of country is this, when liabilities, demons and vipers are heading top position? Can someone tells me why the eastern terrorist was jailed in the same state the imam is from?

Them go soon pocket this man, look at northern governors and Emirs meeting in Kaduna. Plateau and Benue governors were absent, they didn't acknowledge Benue, taraba and plateau massacre.

Nnamdi KANU might not come out alive there if his prison transfer fails. Just watch how riot will happen in the prison, it will be sponsored from outside the prison walls 📌💯

You hate Sultan just because he is a Muslim.
You are alleging the Sultan without any concrete evidence against him.

Piers Morgan (an American Congress man) already told the whole world that USA is the one that created ISIS, alqaeda, bokoharam etc through USAID

People like you did not react to it online till now. Why are you people behaving like that?

These guys all have a foundation in our military including Gumi

Yet betray emotions sympathetic to the terrorists

Makes one wonder what their motivation and modus operandi was while they served

You can never see the man condemned the atrocities happening in the north and all the wrongs the politicians are doing. The conquering pioneer in disguise.

He was the first and only person Tinubu visited immediately Trump issued that threat.

Tinubu went to tell him that he can not continue with the agreement to turn blind eyes on his boys. and the plan for conquering is no longer going to work.

God punish him. He is one of the problems of Nigeria. He is fortunate as an elite and fighting hard for establishment of shari'a that destroyed great nations like Egypt, Persia (Iran), Chaldean (Iraq), and many thriving nations.

The North is bedevilled by abject poverty, vituperous diseases, destructive illiteracy, woes abysmal ignorance, and hellish woes.

The northern elites cannot copy good governance and commerce from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Dubai, Qatar. They are bringing moribund branch of unprofitable Islam to Nigeria.
God punish them all.
