Nigerians were taken aback when respected Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, was dethroned and replaced by his predecessor’s son, Aminu Ado Bayero. Sanusi and Kano State Governor, Umar Ganduje, hardly ever agreed on anything, but most people didn’t predict that it would get this serious.
In 2007, Sanusi’s daughter, Shahida, gave a powerful speech at the first Annual Chibok Girls Lecture in Abuja that suggested that she knew her father could be dethroned. In the speech, she stressed that despite her father’s desire to remain an Emir for the rest of his life, he would never trade his conscience for it.
She narrated: “My father never fails to fight. He fights for progress, liberty, justice and equality. So those people that think they know my father should know that he will never be silenced by blackmail and intimidation. He lost his position once when he was suspended from CBN. I don’t know if you can remember the famous quote when he said you can suspend a man but you cannot suspend the truth. Whenever confronted with the choice of what is right and popular, you must always do the right thing. He taught us and I know he doesn’t mind being the most unpopular Emir so long as he speaks the truth.
“As for the throne, he always says it is God who gives power and only He can take it away. When God says your time is up, it is up. But before then, no one can do anything to you. I am sure he will like to remain an Emir for the rest of his life as it was all he wanted to be but I know he would not at all cost.”
According to her, integrity started making sense to her when Sanusi was given an award as a Man of Integrity. Shahida added: “It is about doing the right thing no matter the consequences. I know if my father has to choose between the throne and his conscience, he will give up the throne. He has already accomplished his ambition of succeeding his forefathers and frankly he is the same person I know as a banker and CBN governor. As an Emir, he has not changed and he will be the same person even as an ex-Emir if he comes to that. But he will never be silent. Whether he is in the arena or not, this is our battle to fight…”
A lady has taken to social media to confess about how she made her husband flog his own mother.
According to her, she connived with her sister who is a doctor to admit their son at the hospital and lie that he fell.
And as her hot-tempered husband is aware his mother always carries the child, he vented his anger on her, flogged and drove her out of the house.
According to her, her mother-in-law has been staying with them since she gave birth, however, she’s no more comfortable and feels guilty about what she’s done so she needs advice.
See her post below:
Founder of Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua, has predicted that the virulent Coronavirus disease will disappear on March 27.
Joshua, the clairvoyant cleric and miracle worker with church headquarters at Ikotun, Lagos, had said on the SCOAN-owned Emmanuel TV that “the fearful Coronavirus which has caused fear and panic in the world will disappear the same way it came.
Specifically, he said, “Coronavirus, the fearful virus plaguing the world will end on 27th March 2020″.
However, the cleric’s prediction may have elicited hope amidst a disillusioned world population, considering that he has a reputation for giving predictions that often come to pass.

US President Donald Trump has tested negative for the coronavirus, the White House physician has said.
Trump had to undergo the Coronavirus test which came out negative, after hosting a meeting at his Florida resort with a Brazilian delegation, some of whom have tested positive, a few days ago.
“This evening I received confirmation that the test is negative,” Sean Conley said in a statement on Saturday.
“One week after having dinner with the Brazilian delegation in Mar-a-Lago, the president remains symptom-free,” Mr Conley said.
Trump was tested on Friday, the White House Physician revealed.
US President Donald Trump has declared Sunday, March 15, 2020, as a ‘National Day of Prayer’ to seek God’s face and strength in the face of the Coronavirus pandemic.
The POTUS encouraged all citizens of the United States to pray, believing that the nation and by extension, the world, would overcome the ravaging COVID-19.
He said, “It is my great honour to declare Sunday, March 15th as a National Day of Prayer. We are a country that, throughout our history, has looked to God for protection and strength in times like these.
“No matter where you may be, I encourage you to turn towards prayer in an act of faith. Together, we will easily prevail.”
The 73-year-old president also said he had taken a Coronavirus test and that results were expected in a day or two.
Fifty-one Americans have died from the novel coronavirus, according to a tally by John Hopkins University, as the pandemic has claimed more than 5,700 lives in some 137 countries.
The National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, has said Sunday’s explosion which occurred at Abule Ado, Trade Fair axis of Lagos State was not caused by a disruption of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, oil pipeline.
Mr Ibrahim Farinloye, Acting Coordinator, Lagos Territorial Office, NEMA, made the clarification in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
Farinloye said that contrary to information earlier put out on the social media, the explosion which occurred at about 9a.m. was unconnected to pipeline vandalism.
“From the information given by officials of the Lagos State Fire Service who are currently on ground, the implosion is not connected to pipeline but might have occurred in a factory located in the Abule Ado area.
“Emergency responders are on ground while others are still on their way to the scene. The situation is under control and we hope to get more information soon to ascertain its cause,” he said.
Farinloye said the NNPC had shutdown the pipeline passing through the area as a precautionary measure after the oil company was notified of the incident.
He also confirmed that several buildings were affected by the explosion which was heard several kilometers away in many parts of the state including Amuwo Odofin, Ijegun and Agege.
