All these baby analysts won't let us rest.
They make up ridiculous conspiracies in order to sound intelligent.

You had better pay your fine or you could be barred from future supreme court proceedings.

1. Emirs are selected/nominated and presented to the governor to approve one of the nominees

2. SLS was barely known by his people due to his chosen career he was far removed from the people.

3. The kingmakers main choice was Ibrahim Ado Bayero

4. The selection period fell during the time SLS was having a running battle with GEJ and Kwankwaso was also having same, Kano was an electoral battle ground for the next presidential election which APC were angling strongly to win

5. The big wigs of APC impressed upon Kwankwaso to select SLS over Ibrahim to spite GEJ and prepare the ground for APC in the state.

6. That was how SLS emerged as the substantive emir and Ibrahim turned his back on the emirate and reason why his younger brother Aminu was nominated now.

So you can see that I didn't say the 'people of Nigeria' elected SLS or any other emir. My choice of link was because that was the fastest I could lay my hands on but if you were in the country then, it was widely known and in the news that the APC big wigs then stormed Kano days before the announcement was made which did not come as a surprise to the people.

GEJ was rubbished as he had to pay homage to the very person he sacked few weeks earlier.

Everything you wrote up there is mere conjecture and rumours.
Even if we are to believe your unfounded statements of Sanusi being barely known, the Emir
stool has never being a popularity contest.

Kano Emirs are not appointed based on popularity.
It has always been a political event with some guidance from tradition.
You don't know the kingmaker's main choice if that even existed if you do, provide the official document
or report that back you up.

Moreover, any eligible person for the stool can be appointed by the governor.
Even the current Emir is a political appointee as they all are.
He is not better than those not chosen.
No exam, no qualifications required, just the governor's discretion.

GEJ is irrelevant in this case because the governor, not the president can appoint and fire kings.

http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/exclusive/how-tinubu-saraki-made-kwankwaso-appoint-sanusi-emir/

You dodged my question.

How are Emirs selected?

Kwankwaso, the governor at the time appointed Sanusi by the power vested
on him by the constitution.

Can you list the Emirs or Kings that are elected by the "people" in Nigeria?

To make matter worse, you linked to pointblanknews a reservoir of propaganda and fake news.

oyatz:
High Chief Agbo Obaseki was NOT an Oba, he was a British appointed administrator (at best a Regent).


Nobody in Bini dead or alive ever call him Oba of Bini. The surrounding tribes like Ishan, Afemai or the Yorubas never related with him as the Oba of Bini.

Eweka was not the first ruler of Benin kingdom, yet he is the first Oba.
Calling a rat an elephant won't make it an elephant.
The Oba title is meaningless without real power.

bigtt76:
Truth be told ....SLS was imposed on the people. I recall how prominent government officials and other politicians flew to Kano prior to his announcement ...that may have contributed too

Who are the people?
Discuss what you understand.
How do you think Emirs are installed?
Via elections?

Headline news?
Try again next time.

crackkhaus:
Don't tell me about Google.

To dethrone someone means you take his crown, he ceases to be king even in death, and place it on another person.

What a joke.
Dethrone is an English word, not a Benin word.
You don't get to define it whichever way you like.

Stalwert:
Fa-Lie-na is just a confusionist, the recovered funds are under international agreement that it will paid directly to the sovereign wealth fund to fund infrastructural projects.

See this kid.
How many of the agreements have you read?

crackkhaus:
The only traditional ruler on this list that should never have been listed is the Oba of Benin.

That was a king who resisted the colonial slave masters and was exiled (not dethroned) by them because he chose not to be their pawn.

Ovoranmen Nogbaisi is a hero and should be treated as such.

He was dethroned.
You can always check Google for the meaning.

Trimque2k1:
When you think you know it all...so when you dethrone the Oba of benin, who are you going to install there?? Because it's only his son nd first son only that can take that position after his father's death. So please stop this ur dreams. We all read history and saw what transpired that lead to the illegal arrest of the then Oba and not till after his death there was not any Oba in benin kingdom...na God of benin kingdom go punished that Obaseki family wey bring all this history so

This is all nonsense.
Ogiso era came to an end despite being literally the "sky god" and more powerful than the Obas.
Oba of Benin can be dethroned and replaced and nothing will happen.
He had better not go political and side with the losing side.

AreaFada2:
But the write-up left something important out. To the Benin, he was still the Oba of Benin. Only just in exile. He was never replaced on the throne. It was impossible. The crown prince only became Oba in 1914 after Oba Ovonramwen passed on in Calabar, In most other places, his brother, cousin or even his son would have yielded to the British desire to be a puppet King. Not in Benin.

Obaseki took over.
It doesn't matter what the people think.
Dalai Lama is in exile, it will be a stretch to name him the leader of Tibet
when he has lost political power.

We fought war with the looters... While ur parents slaved away with their fulani masters.

There is no consolation prize for loosers.

Agbons1991:
Get your fact right, Oba of Benin was never dethroned, rather he was taken to calaber by the British....


But still remained the king of Benin till his death..


No one occupied his throne while he was still alive..


You just don't wake up to make statements without getting your facta right.

Sanusi was dethroned and replaced by another emir.

There's a difference. Bro.

He was humiliated, tried, dethroned and exiled.
Apparently, fact eludes you.

Auxtin85:
Pls where is MANNABBQGRIL? Has he shamefully gone to hang himself for supporting evil against innocent Nigerians?

Wrong.
He is still around with a new moniker and a female "f" tag.
If you have been paying attention, you would have noticed the new account.

Mysticwebb:
And Obi of Onitsha is not there, meaning their king the Obi of Onitsha has never been dethroned since it began in mid 16th century.
I think the present king Nnaemeka is the 21sth King of that kingdom.

Igbos have no kings.
It was the British that setup fake royal stools to control the people.

That story was reported in 2001 and the only Sanusi in it is Haruna Sanusi, the prison comptroller.

densiks:
There’s no big deal about this story.

There is an alternative to request her remains to be sent over to Nigeria if they won’t grant a visa.

After all it is not a must that she should be buried in America.

Trumpublican!

Depressed101:
Igbere tv with fake news.. So Sanusi is now 100 years old to be alife in the 1900s... And that akalauku case wasn't it in 1994 that that incident happened kano?....

Igbere is reporting a lie told by FFK, the crackhead.

xeju:
You forgot to add that the angry mob was instigated and led by the now Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido; Abacha killed the entire 6 gang leaders of the mob and was about to also kill Lamido but was prevailed upon by Kano royals to pls spare their own

And you know this because you are a member of secret service or part of Abacha's death squad.
I hope you don't transmit this stupidity to your children.

blowjohn:
It's no rumour. I had read about it during the Jonathan saga with Sanusi

You heard about it and that makes it true?
SMH.

sapientia:
Some doubting Thomas above me are Simply lazy Nigerians.

Everyone knows the story.

FFK did not say anything new.

Abacha nearly killed him.

SLS have a very fanatic violent past.

I don't know about now though.

"Everyone knows the story" is the refuge of the lazy and intellectually bankrupt.
Members of the northern elite never ever lead a riot.
Sanusi was gainfully employed then to leave his job to come lead angry mob.

Please provide reliable evidence for your story.
Remember that this is 1995, not 1900.
At least, one reputable source would have documented the events so we don't have to
rely on beer parlor gossips.

FocusedB1h:
It happened in 1995 and yes, sanusi was obviously born then and he led the group of Islamist who beheaded that Christian southern man and paraded the streets of Kano with his head.

Sanusi did not lead any group.
He wasn't even in Kano then.
Moreover, members of the northern elite never lead any riot religious or not.

World largest? How dem take know say en be world largest. These people self. Because the crab na white.

oyatz:
I am surprised that people from a southern zone who know little or nothing about the Kano Emirate have suddenly become experts on Kano culture and traditional rulership.


Check this thread, you will hardly find Northerners commenting but many Southerners giving information about what transpired in the selection of the Emir to Kano.

Don't mind them.
Aside from Oba of Benin, I am not aware of any other royal stool which is exclusively reserved for the king's son in Nigeria.
There may be in smaller unknown kingdoms but it is unlikely to persist till date.

Travel agents and propagandists have been sending people to their financial graves abroad.
They make victims believe that money is so easy to make in America.
Because of average Nigeria's inferiority complex and self-hatred, they believe the propaganda
and help spread it further.

Many once successful Nigerians at home are now living hand to mouth in both US and Canada after
migrating and meeting with failure.
Some even become Yahoo boys to survive.

It is one thing to emigrate because you are suffering or bottom of the economic ladder, it is another
thing to destroy your business all in a bid to live in Yankee.

Fake story.
If she planned it, she definitely would have had an escape plan and not make herself a sacrificial lamb

APCHaram:
Aminu Bayero was the first nominee on the list sent by the District heads for Kwankwaso's confirmation and appointment.

Sanusi was a distant 4th on the list.

Kwankwaso then did a Tanko and voila, Sanusi became the Hope Uzodima Emir of Kano.

All to spite Jonathan.

Kindly post the official list here.

saaron:
Like I said in the other thread, I don't give a crap about what happens in fulani kingdom. They can fight and dethrone themselves for all I care. It's their bloody northern fulani islamic problem, not Nigeria.
However, I'm not surprised that Sanusi was detroned. In the first place, Aminu Ado Bayero was/is the rightful heir to the throne, not Sanusi.

Stop lying to gain attention.
I have challenged all your fellow travelers to provide evidence that Ado Bayero is the "rightful" heir
but they became confused and ran away.

There is no rightful heir to the Kano emirate.
Though it is restricted to certain families, the rules are very lax.

Another dumb thread.
The Attah has the power to curse a person but sees nothing wrong with the herdsmen ravaging his land.
He couldn't even bless his state to be prosperous.

Antoeni:
For once i Agree with APC, What has he done for his community? Someone will tell me he Fixed Otta Road to his church,its Normal to Fix Bad Road that Leads to your Business Center

You left people that are being elected and overpaid to fix the country and you are asking a stupid question.
Why don't you also ask him what he has done about epileptic power, police brutality, and army corruption?

A private citizen is not responsible for your life's woes.
If you believe otherwise, do you ask yourself or your family members what they have done for this country?
As they say, charity begins at home.

aolawale025:
The successor doesn't have to be APC. Buhari has no further use for the APC

Only a fool will depend on Buhari, a man who can't even pilot his own affairs successfully.
