In trying to uphold the norms of tradition and religion, the Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, embraces the objectivity that his schooling has bestowed on him. He expresses his true feelings about the state of affairs of the North.
True, the North was better in the 1970s and early 1980s. There were no incident of anti-Christian riots throughout Northern Nigeria in the 1970s and early 1980s and thus there was investment galore and the region thrived.
However, all these changed from the mid-1980s onwards when a new concept (Izalanchi) surreptitiously crept into the consciousness of the North and the results were not good for national integration.
When 12 states of the North adopted the Sharia code, the message to Nigerians was clear: faith-based, arrested development had set in and this lag was micromanaged by a plethora of banks and charities. What has just occurred to Emir Sanusi is the grand delusion of this superiority complex.
This injustice and laziness are the states of affairs that have carried into 2017 and these are bothering Emir Sanusi.
