Emir Sanusi did not absolve the Ibo kidnappers of this crime.

Yorubas are the most evil minded set of people i have ever encountered. I have never seen people this way. Even fulanis are not like this. Tufiakwa

Who allows their children to roam all over the streets begging? Hausa
Who allows their children to be almajiri? Hausa
Who allows their children to be chained and maltreated by insane scholars? Hausa
Etc etc

I don't know why people hate the truth.

Children roaming the streets for begging are prone for such
The almajiris can be lured or kidnapped without much difficult resistance.


Emir Sanusi hit it right. The parents are to be blame period.

Sunusi is the worse emir so far produced in the north. Why asked the commissioner of police about criminal negligence law? if they born you well go ahead and make the law. This emir thinks he knows everything as if he was there when the children were kidnapped. you guys (the elites) betrayed your people there is suffering in the land everywhere. So that means those people that are bieng kidnapped on kaduna Abuja highway, zamfara ,katsina, Abuja, Rivers, Bayelsa and so on should be blamed and charged for negligence too. Shame I am disappointed.

Where on earth did you got the information that these 9 kids were Kidnapped while begging on the street? Some were Kidnapped alongside with their mother, they later released the mother and left with the children. Can you call all these as an act of neglect

A child was on his way back home from school and he was abducted & someone tells me it is the parents fault.

Besides, these kidnappings weren't just random, they were well planned and organised. Instead of blaming the victims of this atrocious act, you're blame the community. This is like blaming a rape victim. Just because u are privileged to be a leader by an accident of birth doesn't give u the right to speak so arrogantly.

Indirectly he is giving the abductors an upper hand, because there is not a single sentence where he criminalised the abductors but he criminalised the victims.

I need someone to help me point out a single statement in the entire write-up where the accidental emir condemned the abductors.

*Just 1 is ok*

so u know more than the émir abi, u pple love to give birth to children, u cannot take care of.

Guy condemnation of kidnappers is not the subject of the statement, and he could not have dwelled on it in this statement. Kidnappers have already been condemned and now is the time to look inward. Yet acknowledges the fault of the kidnappers. Or was he silent about them?

u need to be in a psychiatric word in ur heart u type sense rubbish write up no wonder u and ur northern brother's born like rats

Wiseandtrue:

Sanusi trying to awakening their reasoning!!! He's making a valid point!!!

The truth is that EVERYBODY is to be blamed!!!

What about those in school, kidnapped by Bokoharam From where I am standing no one is talking about Leah anymore except a true Nigerian, Reno Omokri!!!

Not even her governor is showing concern!!!

Government should pay more attention to the problems at hand!!!

Had government sensitize the people the way Sanusi is doing right now, the kidnapping rate would have reduced or stopped!!!

You know your people and you know what their lapses are!!!

Make reasonable laws!!! Anyone caught with a child and it's confirmed kidnapping should face the penalty!!!

You know that their major means of livelihood is begging, create jobs, don't just sit there, make an impact in the lives of people!!! That's why you were elected!!!

A word is enough for the wise!!!

You were already making great sense until you suddenly veered off into praising the nosy Rhino Omokirikiri, and sounding as if the life of Leah Sharibu is more important than that of the over 50 kids who are still missing. This Leah matter is being deliberately singled out to promote a politico-religious campaign. Sadly many are falling for the campaign.

Your submission is true except the last 5 lines.

Logically, "might have been" goes hand in hand with "might not have been". See?

Nobody in the east sends a 3 or 4 years old child to school alone, it's criminal negligence. I have lived in the North long enough to know what he's trying to condemn, parents allow too much freedom to their children which explains why teenage girls can easily hang around with men very late at night there, the Emir condemned both sides but he is specifically calling for the northerners to stop irresponsible parenting which includes child begging. An average almajiri in the North would be happy to be adopted in the east, the northern authorities are deliberately making much noise about this whereas most of those children might not have been really kidnapped but willingly followed those people due to prospect of a better life under more wealthy and responsible parents.

“To leave a 2 to 3-year-old child at home with an open well and go to mosque… In my understanding, you killed your child. But you will be crying, and people will be consoling you. If you really love the child why will you allow him to play near a well?

“How did the child fall into the well? [You will hear tales like] He (father) went to farm, the wife went out… You left an open well when you have a 3 or 4-year-old child and left him to play around the well. Only Hausa man will do this in the whole country,” the emir added.

Bro you are right while the emir to is very right, because am a hausa man and I can tell you that the emir is on the right track this how Boko Haram started why will u continue to give birth to children you can not Carter or take care of and will be like putting the blame on Yoruba and igbo for our own stupidity kidnapping happen every where but in North is so much is just because people are previleng to hear about this alot of kids lost on daily basis and after they try there best they later believe that is the will of God, so let make changes for example in some areas now in Lagos you will see all this small kids in the traffic begging while there parents are in other side too begging, what if someone kidnapped that kid who to blame someone that is begging to feed his self will be have 4/5 children for who to take care of them? Abeg both of you are on point

Bros,you dont know lamido Sanusi enough. The man is the No.1 hypocrite. He is as usual playing to the galery. This is a man that riles about the level of poverty in his area, yet rides in a roll royce - even the money wasted to refurbish the car would have lifted dozens of people out of poverty. He's also accused of blowing the billions of naira kept in deposit accounts by his prudent predecessor. The hypocrite is praising Igbo kidnappers and blaming victims - doesn't he need psychiatric assessment? He is a liar too by saying the children were left begging in the street - this is a most humongous lie, even though coming from a certified hypocrite. Oya kia-kia Igbo kidnappers, abductors and evangelists head en mass for kano, your accomplice Sanusi lamido Sanusi, who occupies the office of the Emir, has given you the nod to come and empty the city of its children! Of course you criminals should know that it's only poor children you will be able to pounce on, the children of the rich are secured in the GRAs behind gated fences. Sanusi, though your accomplice, but know that his own children are schooling abroad.

Lets all speak the truth for once abeg for the sake of other children so they have a better life.

Northerners allow little children loitter around aimlesslessly. Imagine the numerous children sold into slavery or to ritualists or organ harvesters.This is wrong.

Kids as little as 2 and 3 years.Yoruba and Ibo children even the children of the poorest do not loiter like that.Like someone said earlier even animals take care of their young with close supervision till they can fend for and take care of themselves.

Northereners should stop having more kids than they can take care of.They cannot be more pious than saudi,iran,qatar,bahrain,uae,and all the other muslim Nations

They definately should not complain either if the child was kidnapped whIle he had been abandonned to fend for himself by the same parents.Such parents should be condemed,not sympatized with

That is what their king is trying to say

I think it is people like you that Emir Sanusi is referring to...how can a 3- 4 year old be allowed to stroll away to where ever without a guardian.

How many parents down south set their 3-4 year old wards off to school on their own.

Besides are you not aware that underage begging is endemic in the north or you think you know the Emir's people more than the monarch?

Common sense fall on you there!!

"I need someone to help me point out a single statement in the entire write-up where the accidental emir condemned the abductors."

Little children should not go anywhere alone unsupervised.

Should not play outside unsupervised.

Should not be left alone with strangers

Should not be left alone with dangerous substances

Should not be left alone in dangerous enviroments

A woman needs the help of her husband,family or maids if she has more than 2 children to achieve all listed above

The northereners are raising multitudes not for islam but to be prey to evil ideologies like boko haram and isis,ritualists and kidnappers.

Anyone supporting that evil is wrong and if you all believe in judgement you will all be judged for the blood of those children that ended up as victims

You sound like one of those people that peddle hatred. Every issue is looked at from the negative side. An innocent advice by an emir to his people is used to propagate hatred on the Emir. He even absolved the igbos and blamed his people instead. Maybe you would have been happier if he condemn the igbos and absolved his people. Maybe you would be happier if the Kano state indigenes blame igbos for abducting their children and start attacking igbos in kano


What are you talking about here? Maybe you are responding to another thread. In this particular thread, the Emir was responding to children abducted in Kano and found in Onitsha.



As an Emir, you want him to stop the abduction and charge the accused to court? How? What powers does he have to do that?


Where did you get the information that the children were abducted together or individuallyon their way to school? 3 to 5 years old going to school in kano? I thought you guys always insults the northerners for not sending children to school and turning them into almajiris? So now they all go to school?

Please provide links where children were kidnapped with their mothers and the mothers later released.



If is abroad (USA or UK), it's the parents fault. The police would blame the parent because it's the parents responsibility to ensure the child gets to and from school safely. Social services might even take away the child from the parent due to negligence.
When Madeleine Beth McCann was abducted in Portugal 12 years ago, the parents were arrested by the British Police. Although they were later released due to public outcry, the girl was never found.


That's what Emir sanusi has been trying to do. He wants to change the mindset of the average Hausa fulani. He preaches against the almajiris system, he advocates for the education of children, especially the girl child, he preaches against giving birth to children you can't take care of. All these have put him in conflict with the powers that be in the Conservative north.

Well from my viewpoint you and the emir have different sources of information to form the basis of discussion. But since the emir i know, and you i dont, i Stan with the Emir.

Based on his submission i will summarise for you, kidnappings of minors happen in the north mainly because the kids are neglected to beg (there is no lie in that). Last time i checked, beggers dont go to school or do you guys have school for the beggers up there?

2ndly kidnapping today happen accros the country. Its not unique to any tribe. Its not something to overly play tribal cards on. I once knew a boy who went to write jamb and woke up in Ghana. One person saw him walking aimlessly and managed to get his parents number luckily from him. His parents couldn't care less if the perpetrators were Yoruba, igbo, Hausa, or even Ghanian.

3rdly, based on his submission, you can INFER that he condemed the act of kidnapping. (Check paragraph 10). He was however focused on the apparent root cause "negligence" and not just the symptom "kidnapping" (which happens everywhere today)

*before you reply, my argument is based on the premise of the emir, who the last time i checked, is one of the most knowledgeable person in this country*

A lot of people are not happy with what the Emir said and are misinterpreting his message .
The Emir isn't making any case for the kidnappers ,they are guilty as charged and should be treated as such, sanusi is only saying this because of the verbal attacks that have been metted out on the entire igbo tribe because of this.with no blame going towards the parents for negligence.
Remember that idiotic northern "leader" who claimed that it was igbos that distabilized the North with kidnapping ,this message is for idiots like that man ,who will now want to blame their entire failures on the igbo tribe .

You may not blame him
May be he has seen that the negligence is too much

Every body can see that. Children are really being exploited by parents and the Almajiri system which isn't being practiced as it should, as it is very impracticable.
It cannot work. Even Saudi doesn't have such a system, so I really doubt its a religious but rather a cultural practice.
Afterall, muslim communities in Edo, SW don't practice it and they look after their children, who also go to proper schools.
Every cultural practice that's detrimental should be scraped and who better to champion such causes than the traditional heads?
I understand Sanusi may sound harsh, and perhaps even unsympathetic but some tough love may be needed in this case. Time for us all to be accountable in the way we raise our children.
Nigerian governors need to sit up. Make public primary and secondary schools available and refurbish old ones. Even if it means having separate sex schools, do it. Get teachers into those schools. Afterwards, make it a punishable crime if any child is found on the streets during school hours and the parents can be prosecuted for that.

This a lie from the pit of hell. Have you ever seen a 3- year-old begging alone. Three-year-olds would still be carried about in their moms back.

This is why people have problems. You read but chose not to understand because you have your OWN view that you felt must be heard. Because you felt it's better.

Why will you let a 3-year old go to school by herself without an adult taking her?

In criminology, crime is first preventive before curative. Because in most cases, the damage must have been done in the latter. All you can do now is to look for the criminal to arrest him. Meanwhile, if he wanted to kill the child, he would have killed her. So why don't you prevent him from getting the child in the first place?

Let me digress a bit.

Have you seen the birth rate statistics of northern states? Why will you give birth to 20 children when you know that you can only be able to train 2 successfully? Do you think God is as bias and men? Why will God bless you more than someone with 2 or 3 children? Because obviously, you have displayed an act of irresponsibility by littering the street with children you do not have capacity to train.

50 trained and rich folks can control a sea of 50 million illiterates. Nigeria as a whole needs reorientation. And north in particular need to tell herself the truth. I know anybody that speaks against these things over there is seeing as "kafir".

Some months back, I went to one state in the west. I saw one Fulani woman with four children. She sat down while these kids went to beg for money. I felt like cursing the useless man that brought those children to this world without taking responsibility. Soon They will be giving out in marriage. by the way, some states like Bauchi has about 41% teenage pregnancy. One of those kids followed me for minutes asking for money. When I looked at her, tear nearly dropped from my eyes.

Finally, we should allow one voice to rule us and stop antagonizing every opposing voice.

He even said that some people will misconstrue his opinion in which you are guilty. Go to Lagos and the western part of the country, you will see them in number. Child abuse. Sending children out d street for begging on your behalf. In the 1st instance, why did you bring them into this earth if u know u cant cater for them. Its a sin. The kidnappers will definitely face the wrath of the law for there own path

Quote author=FriendNG post=83890067]Somebody sent his child to school along the line some unscrupulous elements abducted the child, transformed the child into something else, give him/her a new name and change his religion from Islam to Christianity.

After police rescued children, as a leader you did not share the grievance with parents, neither condemned the act, but all of a sudden you want to jail the parents when you have not jailed the Kidnappers.

As a leader you should try to stop the abduction first, charge the accused to court before you talk about the victims share of blame.

Where on earth did you got the information that these 9 kids were Kidnapped while begging on the street? Some were Kidnapped alongside with their mother, they later released the mother and left with the children. Can you call all these as an act of neglect

A child was on his way back home from school and he was abducted & someone tells me it is the parents fault.

Besides, these kidnappings weren't just random, they were well planned and organised. Instead of blaming the victims of this atrocious act, you're blame the community. This is like blaming a rape victim. Just because u are privileged to be a leader by an accident of birth doesn't give u the right to speak so arrogantly.

Indirectly he is giving the abductors an upper hand, because there is not a single sentence where he criminalised the abductors but he criminalised the victims.

I need someone to help me point out a single statement in the entire write-up where the accidental emir condemned the abductors.
