The Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido, has warned that unless the people of the North change their culture, they will continue to be backward and poor.
The emir, according to a report by PUNCH, made the comment in Gusau, Zamfara State, on Friday while presenting a paper.He said, “There are people who cannot afford to feed one wife but are ready to marry three wives and have more children than they cannot feed, talk less of paying for their school fees.
“The poverty level of the North is 80 per cent; while in the South, the percentage is 20 per cent simply because of the culture of marrying many wives and producing many children who at the end are left on the streets to beg for what to eat. “The issues we have today such as drug abuse, Boko Haram, banditry and unemployment would be nothing compared to what we will be dealing with in the next 20 or 30.”
His statement is a farce not a fact. Why was he sponsoring mass wedding. Mass wedlock is strategy to continuously build up their population against other regions having realized democracy is a game of highest number where as southward has been busy embrassing family planning prog
he's right support him .
Thank you sir. But you have to provide the solution since the problem have been identified.
You are indeed a man of wisdom
Your Royal Highness you're absolutely correct.
Polygamy is a temptation, everywhere in Nigeria. But the dogmatic polygamy is a tempest. Tempest1: a violent storm 2: TUMULT, UPROAR
💯✅
SLS very much on point, the northern elite has continued 2live in denial with regards to this stark reality. Polygamy is Islamic BUT the caveat regarding its practice is taking responsibility.Problem is most of its practitioners embrace irresponsible polygamy which is unIslamic!
He views matters objectively. Good one. Northerners listen to him
Well said
Absolutely he is saying the truth
This is why I hate paying tax or doing charity. Your blunder is your responsibility.
He is right. The real reason why all the economic policies/ideas known to man don't have meaningful impact in Nigeria is because our culture largely breeds poverty.
Disaster waiting to happen if not corrected
Tell them. They may listen to you
the emir is missing it all and I believe he is doing it is lack of education that is the cause of poverty in the north not polygamous.Cuz the Emir has four wives and many children which he is managing them very well reason been that he is educated.
Tofaaaa
Financial incapability to marry more than one does that, not 'polygamy' in the sense of it.
I'll judge SLS by his action towards the issue, how many he's married to? could save the argument.
He's absolutely 60% correct, compounded by inefficient politicians, policies, refineries, and ports. Overpopulated country for underdeveloped natural resources and fiscal policy squandering. Example: fuel subsidy.
Thank God people are talking out,the north has too many problems
Proudly poor individuals. If I be gateman one day I for ask myself, I Dey craze? Why me sef no build house? I know a gateman that barely provides for his wife, one day he sold the only cow he had been grooming by proxy and married a second wife. Poverty is more mental in d north
Shebi when they brought up the bill of limiting children per family, the northern elders brought it down, the bill never saw the light of the day, if you don’t limit the birth rate by force, these guys are not ready to stop it, they keep slowing Nigeria’s growth
No sir, it's elites corruption and greediness coupled with illiteracy and ignorance that are causing poverty. Polygamy has nothing to do with our backwardness.
Is the emir himself not a polygamous man - Why is he now preaching against it ?
Not really true when compared the population of Nigeria to a more populated countries that has less poverty rate compare to Nigeria,poverty as the name implied is roundomly in Nigeria not specifically to the Northern part alone
And he's having four wives
Sanusi is a fraud!
Sanusi is a fraud!
certainly the modernists are very concerned
Is he now preaching against what the religion practiced by majority in the region permit?
He spoken well
Your royal highness, please continue to speak the truth to the people as that is the ONLY way to their economic emancipation and freedom.
You said it all Emir of Kano. Self inflicted poverty and backwardness thereby holding the entire country down.
Bigot, i don't know how much you're paid talking negative about Islam. Prophet Muhammad prophesied foolish Islamic leaders at the end of hour and you're without the shadow of doubt among them.
and HE is a monogamist?
They re using them to rigg election
Please you people should leave us, we did not induct it into their doctrine for them🙄🙄🙄
Truth told
Tell them o😀😀
They feel its an archivement!!🙄🙄🙄.. Non sense!!!
