Lobatan o! Abeg make una no fight o! Let's stop all d fighting and killings pls! Thank God no life was lost. Fighting and riots would eventually lead to killings o!
Who cares
As expected!!! P*p at work
I don't believe
Many will definitely hate on SLS but let it not turn to APC, PDP affair bcus it may lead to 'the blood that are sharing...there's God oh!'
@chux.com........sanusi lamido sanusi is too fraudulent to be an emir
They shouldn't sweep this under the carpet; he needs to be made to step down biko, before he puts more fuel to this BH situ.
How did this even happen?...Isn't the deceased eldest son supposed to take over?
*My R1.50c comment *
Thank God no life was lost
Sanusi now the Emir of Kano? If the right procedure was followed then I wish him a peaceful reign. The riot is uncalled for thank God its been brought under control. #Glophil
This is what I expected...why would they skip bayero's first son and even his second to put a stranger on the throne....?..no its not fair!

bad belle people,,,,who God has bless, let no man curse,,,i so much love sanusi,,,i guess my inlaw will be happy over dis, cos sanusi is his boss
Why won't †Ñ’ξ people boil? He is not qualified for the Tittle 'Emir of Kano'. Dirty politics!!! Ђôẃ can a guff man be an Emir. He's a crook. Truth be said. Nigerians wake up Ω̴̩̩̩̥ say no to dirty politics. We've lost enough innocent souls cus of politics. Sanusi as an Emir will cause more HARM than Good. #DethroneSanusi#. #TeamSandra#
The people or PDP people??? If he is qualified, why not?
What is sanusi doing there as an emir if not playing a part in their bombings but God pass them
Congratulations to you once again Mr Sanusi. It does't matter wether Sanusi lamido or Sanusi bayero. ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥♡thanks ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥
PDP kano branch are not happy. Sanusi iss the Man. Everybody should get used to it. Up Up Up Sanusi!!
Jamil shud go and rest!!! Is it cos his father is IG abegi
He wud stop being popular at d end of this month. Plus it is Sanusi's right!!!
He is very qualified my dear It is his right!!!
Stranger? Stop thinking with your dick! Bayros and Sanusis are the two clans qualified to be Emir in Kano state
Now Jonathan and PDP in trouble, lol. I'm sure 2015 is gonna be hot politically!!!
Stranger ! SLS is a prince so he's entitled to be d emir ! U need more knowledge before u spew trash
Ode

Oh plz all of u supportin sanusi shhuld short d f**k up,in d african culture,only 1 family produces d leader(monarchy),d deseased has sons,so y wuld a stranger b made d emir?u skip d 1st nd 2nd son nd brot a fraudster 2 rule us?neva gon happen.he shuld carry his politics 2 abj
Thanks. You are so observant. I wanted to say the same thing.
Keep ur ignorant mouth shut
They protest over every thing in 9ja now
#bringbackourpeace
Onyx@work,noted.
I knew there was much said between the former governor and the emir's family about the emirate title which is why I was surprised Ado Bayero keeled over easily for Sanusi! We haven't heard the last of this.
Who says SLS is a stranger? When u don't know something pls kip quiet.
This is just the beginning. North be ready. You will do yourself in. God is in charge.
PDP at work
Jonathan and his PDP cohorts should stop playing politics with everything. Sanusi is qualified and we all knew this since, the history is there. Its the prerogative of the Governor and the king makers.
Na lie! They can't do shit!! Long Live SLS... May ur reign be long and filled with great achievements
Everything has become political
D throne goes round the 3 families of 3 brothers. Abdullah, Ado bayero n lamido Sanusi. The next in line is the family of SLS, but den ders politics. Lol.
hmmmmm...
Dis region is synonymous with violence! Muslims and violence. Tufiakwa! Una no dey taya? Everywhere u find moslems their must be violence. But d yoruba muslims are nt included cos yorubas are lily livered. They are niether here nor there. Ndi iru abua! *oya make una start to talk*
Politics wif our social Institution in called 4 very wrong!!!!
am so happy 4 him
Who says he is not qualified? He is the most qualified. His grandfather was the emir, his father was next but was unavailable so they chose the kings brother. Sanusi lamido is the grandson of the emir before this deceased one so he is very much entitled to the throne. Haters keep hating since u can't do anything about it. Live ur life and let him live his. He was chosen and he will rule.
@Musediq, is dat how an Emir is been selected. For real? Give your self some brains. Boy don't be decieved.
Geneva.
@Don Dumex did I hear u call Sanusi a stranger to Kano Emirate? #smile# and for those asking about Bayero's first son, was the late Emir's father an Emir? Pls let's be conversant with history, and as for the "protest" it seems more political that is if there was any protest @all. May His Eminence S.L.S reign peacefully longer than his forefathers#amin#
I am really surprises at this development ,Royal is about blood line never about appointments
Clueless people. He is royalty. His grandfather was the Emir before Ado Bayero. Get your facts straight.
Money now buys kingship...hmmm!
The same attitude dat has lead us nowhere. Kindly grow up pls....
U are the worst kind of ignorant.....the confident kind. Just sharrap!
B4 u yarn shit pls be properly informed! Sanusi is qualified n entitled to d throne!
If the dude is qualified then why the trouble. Am sure is pdp @ work cos they av already sent out a congratulatory message earlier today to the emirs 1st son, shame on pdp
Mumu, what do u know? This is no monarchy, it is an emirate, there are families entitled to d throne and it is rotated amongst them and it so happens to be the turn of Lamido Sanusi. They. W anted to play politics and e no work. He has taken what belongs to him, swim in d atlantic
I think u Anon got shit 4 brain
But I read it 2day dat they av apointed the son of Bayero (The former emir) as the emir of Kano. The one they said has a degree in law... Am confused
Lol
Na was for these people oo
Hmm just passing
May he time brings peace to the nation and end biko haram insurgency
If the Kingmakers recommended him then so be it.My onyl grouse is that Sanusi is an islamic extremist it was so evident when he introduced Islamic banking into a secular society like Nigeria.The North has an agenda and are playing out a script.Events have already started unfolding(this is one).we should beware ,our unity is at stake.
God save us in this country. $£.
#teamdethrone sanusidfool#
WRITING IN CAPS SO HOPEFULLY,THE DAFT WILL UNDERSTAND.
ALH SANUSI LAMIDO IS NEXT IN LINE.HIS GRANDFATHER WAS THE EMIR BEFORE THE ALH ADO BAYERO(RIP).
WHEN SANUSI LAMIDOS GRANDFATHER PASSED ON,SANUSIS DAD WAS UNAVAILABLE TO STEP IN.ITS SINCE BEEN KNOWN THAT WHEN THE ALH ADO PASSES,SANUSI LAMIDO WOULD STEP IN.
PLEASE USE YOUR GOOGLE ENGINE.YOUR DATA BUNDLE IS USEFUL FOR OTHER THINGS BESIDES COMING TO LINDAS BLOG TO DISPLAY YOUR IGNORANCE.
Angie cape get your facts straight before you comment.There are two ruling houses in kano, the Bayero's and the Sanusi's. SLS grandfather was dethroned and Ado Bayero was made emir, so the Bayero house has been ruling for the past 50years, is it not only logical that the Sanusi house should step in now? Besides there is no where, where it is written that Ado's son should or must rule after his father. The king makers choose three names from the ruling houses and submits to the state govt, and the state govt chooses whom it deem fits. So all this your grammar is baseless.
U are a big fool, give one reason why they shud engage in violence? Idiot
U are a big fool, give one reason why they shud engage in violence? Idiot
Jane 7.50pm & 7.58pm
You're so confused I can't help but pity you...
You said Hausas and Muslims are violent, Yorubas are Lilly livered... but Ibos are perfect ba? Your hatred for Islam has transcended to tribe bcos you JUST HAVE TO HATE on something! Oponu Oshi
I FORGOT TO ADD,THAT UNLIKE THE,YORUBAS AND IBOS(I'M YORUBA),THAT SELL THEIR TRADITIONAL TITLE,THE HAUSA PEOPLE ARE QUITE DISTINGUISHED IN THEIR CHOICE OF RULERS,THEY WOULD HAVE CARRIED OUT THEIR INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS NOT BASED ON ALL THIS POLITICS AND WOULD NEVER PUT SLS UP IF HE'S HANDS ARE TRULY DIRTY.
PLEASE LETS STOP SPREADING STORIES WE AREN'T SURE OF.HALF OF OUR PROBLEM IN NIGERIA IS HE SAID ,SHE SAID.
Which African culture? Dont say what you dont know. Even in the yoruba tradition, it rotates among families. Pls stop staying rubbish.
Lamido Sanusi does not have the maturity, discipline and patience to hold such an important and dignified position.
No you shut up! In which African culture? Who told you Sanusi is a stranger? You must be daft not to know about the kano ruling houses and the fact that Sanusi is a prince whose grandfather was dethroned and the late emir Ado was made emir. Abeg go and read your history book. Ode like you.
Why is she ignorant?
Politics at its peak
It the only refuge he has for averding justice that is why he conived with the state govnor to be installed as the emia
Still laughin..
But u can curs GEJ right?
Kano-the state dat was! Kano was once an enviable state, second only to Lagos. But they have killed the state and its economy with unprovoked rioting n nefarious activities. They'll only have to live in n endure the carcas without grumbling.
@anonymous 7:39...it is your father that is thinking with his ballz.....overfed pig!
Dondumex.com
How comes d emir jst decided to die now dat SLS is no longer in cbn.he had always bin keen abt dis emir thing.am i d only one who smells a rat here.was Ado bayero killed or sth.why did he not die wen SLS was still in cbn.hmmmm
Did I jst hear sum1 sai sanusi is'nt royalty lyk pls get ur facts rite cos he is vey much royal,so if dem lyk mke dem riot 4m na til 100yrs na dem sabi.....
So MAny drama in my belove Nigeria.....
Ode
Hehehe. Mumu.
Pls read abt Mr Gideon akaluka nd knw mire abt d new emir of kano.will soon be demoted like his father,idiot
You need night school bruv
Sanusi d blood of Gideon akaluka will continue to hunt u dwn
SLS has original royal blood in him, this is not an appointment
U must be an illiterate for you to vomit this nonsense even in Lagos is it the only Oyekan family that have the right to the throne, we have Oyekan, akiolu and other families entitled to the throne. So go and get your fact It is never done in Africa that a family has the right to the throne. It may be so in some places but not in most cases. If you hate Sanusi, my dear u may go and lunge in chibock
You are ignorantly stupid
Congrats 2 Sarkin Kano SLS! Haters go & hug transformer, lol!
So our President will Bow to Sanusi? Mbok see drama!
Jane u r very stupid for making such state about the Moslems, u cursed evil igbo. Shame on u
@ anon 7:42, I guess u are one historian that graduated from a questionable university, in some places there are royal families that can only produce kings, so please get your facts straight , don't feed people with wrong information.
Putting sanusi was done do undermine GEJ but darris God n Darris PDP.Choi!
@ann 7:22pm Nobody cares abt ur inlaw bitch.
PDP is causing confusion in kano.
This Guy has been tipped to become the next Emir long before most of us knew him. It is his seat! Why should they protest? We can be really funny people.
Is not according to the eldest son oooo. Kano people have their own way of selecting their emir. Sanisu's father is next but he is too old so they gave sanusi. Sanisu brother is the brother to the late emir is always turn by turn among the brothers. So is their turn
Northerners and their wahala! I hope Sanusi won't give more powers to BH?
P.
D.
P.
Nigeria and sentiment. Greed is supposed to be the last name for Naija. Sanusi dosent deserve it and that's why we are having problem in Kano. Let's learn to do the right thing in this country and not politically.
God Punish dt ur Yeye fingers dt U R using in typing and saying dt Islam is synonymous 2 Violence. What is christianity synonymous to, is d fact dt d church and all A list pastors like TD Jakes and Joel Osteen R all Illuminati servants or d fact dt there is Homosexuality and Peadophilia in d Vertican than any body in d world?
Or R we talking abt d genocide dt Xtians have made possible in d past?
I don't like talking abt dz things but some foolish christians keep talking wid their anuses whn ever it comes 2 Islam.
Yall shld jes live and let's live coz d fact dt Muslims don't say anythg doesn't mean we don't kno wht the white man's trash called christianity is all about. We jes choose 2 keep 2 ourselves as empty vessels make d loudest noise.
Be warned!
*ISLAM IS PEACE*
*SUNNI 100%*
I wonder y sum pple talk like a fool is it possible for sum1 to just b put on d throne if he's not entitle to d throne?bunch of idiots fools
U r a PDO member,bad belle
Wa sere,u get mouth die
Who cares? They are all BH descendants, If dem like make dem kill demselves, very stupid set if muslims/northerners. I wonder why Nigeria is not divided. It will be safe cos the muslims/northerners yield nothing but sickness and destruction in Nigeria. Brainless ppl na to fight be their occupation.
Congrats SLS! More grease to your elbow. God bless you and see you through to overcome your enemies
Sanusi Father was dethrone during Abacha's regime and this is simply why the Northerns now decide to give him back his right throne...so hopefully the all this will be sorted out in due time..
Muslims are too cultured to Be talking to a lunatic
Long live the emir. If ordained by God who can recall? Remember king David and Saul
Yu r obviously a cow n unintelligent for u to spew such shallow words frm ur trap.
Games of throne- season 5 live in Nigeria
This is my first time commenting. I had to, 'cos I can see a lot of our youths are just daft! Who told you Sanusi Lamido doesn't have right to the throne? Better get your facts right before you make comments on any issue.
Dee
U are mad. How will his position as Emir affect PDP or 2015 elections. A traditional ruler not even a political appointee. Think before u spew ur ignorance.
Congrats to SLS jare... It is a title well deserved!
That one concerns them.
Confusion in d enemy camp, dis is only the beginning
Am I the only one who noticed the IG's son's gbagaun
You are a big fool. Kano emirates rotates among 3 families. Not the birthright of the Bayero's . All these nyamiris coming here to comment on custom they don't know. Nigerians and I Too Know, !
Must everything end in violence..... Nigerians please let's learn how to dialogue to solve issues. fighting and killing will only worsen issues...
A people get the kind of leaders they deserve. Sanusi opened a can of worms and Nigerians choose to crucify him instead of bringing culprits to book. For the records Sanusi is forthright and the powers that be have tried to drag his name in the mud. Sanusi is also a prince and for anyone who is ignorant, of the facts, Sanusi is a Prince and There is more than one ruling house in Kano. Sanusi is more than QUALIFIED please!
abeg by us u mean? coz if u were a son of the soil u'ld know he is royalty. the fact there are general customs in africa doesnt mean it is thesame in each individual custom. once more, sls is a prince
Indeed! You must have talk it corrrect! Minster for truth and justice! Mtcheeeew! Ever heard or met a power drunk northerner?! #SLSproBH
Hmmmm oga Jona u beta sit back and strategize hw to curb this sanusi beef b4 2015
#####################GOD punish##################################devil
Ministers for truth and justice, it is also not unusual for them to announce the two names? Were they guessing whose turn it would be or probably there was a toss of coin to determine that? Or they just made a random guess today?! Dick heads, look beyond your nose and stop telling cock and bull stories! #SLSproBH
They should fight cos it's a bad decision
It's political
Like many youths that comment on this blog. Youre clueless. Ado Bayero (may his soul RIP) has been ill for a long time. There's no conspiracy theory about that. He died peacefully and SLS reign will be peaceful despite what PDP plans.
He thinks he has immunity from prosecution
Anon 8.44pm, u don't know him at all, then
U r the only one. And the dead rat resides just north of ur nostrils, behind ur eyes...inside ur head. 83yr old man dies and u say u smell a rat
Anon11:19 u r one big ass hole!!shut d f**k up already!!!unintelligent mofo!!!
Boniface, lol, you are the ignorant one in this situation. Are you really asking what role traditional rulers have in politics? Do you know how much influence they have over their people?
@"Yoruba man" temi...and who d hell r u to assume that it should b so straight forward. With ur stupid capital letters "so the daft will understand"..i happen to be from kano, so pls,find ur seat in d back row and observe events unfold. Uninformed ignoramus forming expert.
Don dumex I excuse your ignorance, next time remember google is your friend.let me educate you Sanusis grand father was the emir before Ado bairo and Ado bairo was installed by default so the crown has returned to the rightful owner, he is not a stranger but pure blue blood.
Nice reaction @boniface and to anno, a traditional ruler is apolitical(can not support nor finance nor belong to political parties)he has been politically handicapped. ..liv politics 4 ppl wit reasoning.
Ann 7.42pm...Im still wondering how u were able to use a modern phone...one with ur kinda bring shouldnt be able to spell or read...pls how do u do both?african culture! Infact u b fool.
Anno 7.48pm...pls where did u read abt Jonathan commenting against or for in the issue of SLS or Bayeros?pls whats politics?
Sanusi was the rightful emir several years ago, but he was to young and he was not ready...the plan was for the late emir to stand in for him till he matures, only for bayero to refuse to step aside when lamidu sanusi was ready.all the people who are protesting are just ignorant
The emir goes to Bayero's son. It is a family heritage not politics.
It wld b wise to say wt u knw, tnx Temi n anon 9:42 for d enlightenment
Alhamdulillah congrat. Nigerians u should knw dat. Wat goes up most come arnd
Says who?
Anon 8:50 I'm sure u wld still tell us how he ploted his death, idiot jst displayin ur ignoance
Says who?
E CONCERN DEM THERE.................
Point is that sanusi lamido sanusi is now the emir of kano, another deadly mistake by the northerners. Kano is the pride of the north and to have an evil emir will further destroy kano. Igbos should learn their lesson, leave kano for good. Gideon akaluka's blood is still fresh in the hands of sanusi, boko haram will thrive more under this apc emir.
Anon 8:44 are you daft or something ??? He does not have d maturity discipline and patience and yet he amongst the best public servants we have had so far, and when he tried to expose corrupt pple jona tries to drag him in d dirt . wat more discipline do u wanna see biko?
Being a Yoruba person you are taught from childhood to be diplomatic in all you do, its called diplomacy not being lily livered know what you gonna do , don't make noise about it , but at the end of the day do wat u wanna do that's it , abi u think its easy to be the most sophisticated tribe in Africa ni ????? Linda thunder fire u if u don't post this cos I know u be tribalist .
What are you saying? They are all members of the royal family and they have claim to the throne.
Abacha's regime? Ado Bayero reigned for 50 years so are u saying Abacha reigned 50 years ago? I can't laugh
It seems you don't know how important the emir of kano is in nigeria @boniface
Yes the late emir's father was an emir before sanusi lamido's grandfather.
@anon 8.44..... stop talking rubbish!!!!! Sanusi headed the First bank of Nigeria, Central Bank of Nigeria and you feel he's not qualified to be an emir?????????????
Nominate someone from your village then....
On 2 the Next!
Anon 8.08. U must be crazy. We're talking about his kinda person... He's intelligent yeah but he's head is not correct. He guff. Let's watch n c.
I have lost respect for the throne SLS is presently occupying
Most of the comments here just goes to show that ignorance is the major problem in Nigeria. People refuse to think critically. Good day.
Dis is serious
I pity muslims
