Sanusi, who spoke at the 60th birthday of Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, in Kaduna on Monday, highlighted the main problems facing the region as poverty, millions of out-of-schoolchildren, malnutrition, drug abuse,The emir, who insisted that no “true Northern Nigeria leader” was happy with the problems, said the North should stop relying on quota system and federal character.
Sanusi said the region should not continue to rely on quota system and federal character to get jobs for its children at the expense of the other parts of the country busy educating their own children and turning out graduates. “So, we wish Nasir a happy birthday, but we do not want him to be happy as a leader. Because you are happy when you think you have reached a state of delivering and taking your people to where you want them to be.
He said, “And the truth is, if you look at what Nasir is doing in Kaduna, with 40 per cent of his budget in education, that is the only thing that is going to save the North. I know that, when we say these things, they don’t go down well. He said, “You don’t need to rise on being from Kaduna State or being from the North or being a Muslim to get a job, you come with your credentials, you go with your competence, you can compete with any Nigerian from anywhere.
He said, “It is important to realise that the positions we hold are transient and they do not define us. “Until we are able to reverse this kind of trend, no matter how much infrastructure you put, you will still have that social angle that will actually lead to serious insecurity, the kind that we experience or even worse, God forbid. So, we need to look at the people,” Lawan said.
“Those of us in leadership positions, we know what we need to do. We need to have courage and commitment and sustain them.
Always sounding a warning. I hope people it concerns listen.
The emir knows the truth but for others who are living fat on the resources no one can change that bad attitude, fear on the part of other tribes not been frank of telling ourselves the truth is very dangerous, we can never develop in all that situation. Nig. We need 3 regions!!!
I pray it comes fast
But he(SLS) is one of them, what is he doing to alleviate d level of poverty in d north that he always advocating? I had never heard of his foundation taken most of these Almajiris to sch, and he is using RRoys car made in the mist of these ravaged areas. I beg comot 4 road joor
Yes that's true
You became the cenbank Chairman on quota system though.
Always talking without corresponding actions. Very disappointing.
Hmmmm
sammybrymo read this
I read somewhere that CHIEF OBAFEMI AWOLOWO of BLESSED MEMORY said: It will be turned to ASHES last-last .Time will tell !
Lie lie, we shall just separate from the North. U can quota yourself if U like.
Emir Sanusi always making sense!!
It can be with any other region(s) not with nation of Biafra, north destroying itself, end of quota system coming.
True. We the northerners are tired of the menace we are in now.
They have started packaging El-Rufy the little finger to take over from Buhari They seem to forget Jagaban
Of course quota system will end. Do you think our generation will let it continue? I laugh at all of you.
Take religion out of a man's mind and see his potentials. Generally, religious beliefs have destroyed many Nigerians from north to south, east and west. It's not about learning to read and write but learn a profession. We all can't be doctors or lawyers.
Like him or not.. he speaks the truth
“The rest of the country cannot be investing, educating its children, producing graduates and then they watch us, they can’t get jobs because they come from the wrong state when we have not invested in the future of our own children'
To be frank, you remained very intelligent Emir. Your thoughts and reactions to issues are very logical. God bless you
Truth. Go to the refuse dump site in Ojota, about 80% of the scavengers there are from North. Worst still they are within bracket age of (15-21) I guess. Disturbing really.
The North already is a national disaster we refuse to acknowledge. According to a Yoruba saying when your roommate feeds on maggots infested meal and you form the habit of looking the other way when he begins to suffer the consequences you both will suffer the sleepless nights.
Emir Sanusi keeps giving them hot and truth.
Amin Jesu!
U ppl must continue this game.
Unfortunately they won't listen, the ruling class in the north love it so but karma they say is a bitch..it's coming back to haunt them all, we've started seeing how they sow wind and they are steadily reaping whirlwind...
The quota system encouraged mediocrity and division
The south should stop quota system in their schools and workplaces, then the north will know the are serious.
Each state needs to control its resources and give to the centre!!! This is the only way the Northern states will sit up!
Or have destroyed itself. Have ever seen a people who will give birth to children and give them plates to go and fend for themselves.
I can hardly see Arewa brothers comment on this. Are they not followers if Punch Nigeria?
I have been warning about this since 2017
Will they hear. Nepotism, clannishness, ineptitude are also what they promote. Time will tell. Pity
You are giving them expo. Just allow them to keep enjoying what will definitely end them.
They think the yorubas were stupid when they created amotekun. The call for restructuring is coming stronger than ever before....
It was the great cleric, Othman Dan Fodio that said that 'Conscience is an open wound and that only Truth can heal it'. God Bless Emir Sanusi for courageously telling the noble truth in this hour.
Jihadist when last did you hear of quota system under this regime?
It has ended already
How can something that's already destroyed still be destroyed?
The North is playing a high level chess game..Everyone is talking about the North as if it's the only region in Nigeria.
To Let 2 bedroom flat at ireakari estate via Peluseriki, Akala express, Ibadan. Rent: ₦350k
Where are they?
chiefedewor We warned then that the quota system which allowed for the promotion of mediocrity will ultimately destroy the supposed beneficiaries
The population of the North have only helped them achieve political power (even at that, a clamour for a college electoral system will soon begin), every other socioeconomic indicator goes left for them. Quota system, no matter how good breeds incompetence in the North!
They are still breeding
If only they will understand the hand writing on the wall.
Quota system will never end in Nigeria until we, the people, force it
North is self destruct already
I always love dis man always say true,
Sanusi should have been in politics to make all the difference, rather than limiting himself to the throne of Kano. Dude is cerebral.
Tell them
Don't let the northern elites come after you. Your battle with Gandollar is still ongoing. Be careful even though you are saying the truth.
..the wrong teachings by Imams instead of good & quality education for these kids. It is only Nigeria Northern Muslims that believe in Almajiri in de whole world so far as i am aware. Its not in Saudi Arabia, UAE etc. They honor & worship Traditional rulers more than d Gov't2/2
The problem is not the North, but the minority ruling class in the North.
Buhari bu onye ke ayi Una never see any thin all the terrorist group in North will destroy una soon make una watch out!
Abolishalmajiri Compulsoryeducation4all Girlchildrightawarenesscampaign Endunderagemarraige Northern elites are benefitting hugely on the loose education system because they use Religion to keep them backwards hence, they are not following rules law but Imams' teachings. 1/2
The north is telling her youths that the south is their enemy and has made them think low and careless of going to school. North is a big problem! The number of uneducated and their tendency to see others as their rival is devastating and unfortunately, their leaders support this
I can clearly say only Sanusi is seeing the future of the North if MBuhari regime won't develop instead of extort.
I support that statement. The rate of illiteracy in North is booming which makes the uneducated to join terrorism being ignorant of the nation and life effect
Speaking on occasions or pages of newspaper won't cut it. It's time for a conscious effort to build not just the north but the rest of the regions.
And it will consume u all in the north east
