The Emir of Kano Sanusi II says forceful marriage of young
girls as well as the exposure of youths to social media and the internet
is to a large extent responsible for the increased rate of youths
joining the insurgency group, Boko Haram. The Emir said this while
delivering his lecture at the 10th Annual Ramadan Lecture organized
by Voice of Nigeria (VON), NTA and FRCN in Kaduna yesterday July 4
"Are
we still living in the era which father can force their daughters
into marriage without their permission? Yes we are. Early marriage, yes
we are in Nigeria. And it is hurting and destroying our society. We are
the ones to address these social issues because they are problems. And
you know from taking her out of school and forcing her into
marriage without education result to having a child from her who does
not have a mother that can give the child proper training. That is a
child that gets on drugs, Indian hemp or joins Boko Haram. All these
things are connected. We have to face these challenges. Information
technology and emergence of internet and social media,
today youth go on the computer and they learn Islam from Facebook and
twitter.
They learn Islam from videos, they watch on Facebook and after
14 to 15 hours watching new things, they need to become jihadists. They
get up and go to Iraq or Syria or somewhere and join the group.
And there are no controls. Right inside your house, your son can be
sitting upstairs in the bedroom getting indoctrinated into becoming an
extremist without your knowledge. We need to watch what our children
watch. And we need to talk to them. If we do not give them the correct
Islamic education, they will find the wrong education on the internet" he

What's this chief sponsor of boko haram saying?
Direct that to your Hausa and muslim brothers. Both terrorism and marriage of under age girls is what muslims/hausa people enjoy. I just hope they don't come after you for criticising what they love. Buhari himself will not be happy you said this, he's totally in support of all you said. I pray they don't kill you for this single truth.
Then educate the youths and ur people in the north. Obviously, the northern youths are the cause of this menace. Eradicate girl-child marriage first of all. Then make education compulsory for every girl-child. That would be a step in the right direction.

What exactly does he mean by wrong Islamic education on the internet? Is he actually trying to say there are some parts of the Islamic education that supports extremism while some parts do not? Are the kids remote control that any balderdash they see pertaining to Islam on the internet would immeadiately cause them to take leave of their humanity and become walking bombs. For the life of me, Islam is just a very strange religion. I like the togetherness part of Islam, buh every other thing is just strange.
Don't ever blame Social Media for the increase/rise in terrorist related activities.
The major problem lies in the CLERICS mode of disseminating information and brainwashing the gullible retards to see honour in Jihad/Warfare.
I can vividly recall when Boko Haram started their uprising by killing Christians, no prominent Northerner of the Islamic faith rose to the occasion of condemning them until they started killing other Muslims as well before the mofos started condemning them and screaming that they are not Muslims (so much 4 hypocrisy)
The chicken will always come home to Roost.
True talk sir
yh he is right
I guess he's referring to the WEAK minded hausa boys? Even if i watch jihadist video for one week,It won't have any influence on me! North = Shame of Nigeria!
Only an african can be exposd to technology and bcome even more babaric
Well said sir
child marriage is evil.
Good one
Hiss! He is so far frm d truth, and reality. Where r d place of poverty, lack of govt provision, development of d state's, education, and all dat in d lives of dis youths were left out by him.
That's untrue, boko haram group member are barely exposed. They are obviously shallow minded! ...even their videos got no English word in them. Sanusi should redo his thinking all over. No vex.
I don't think he knows what he is saying
Emir Sanusi please do not forget covert supports from traditional rulers and top politicians, plus financial supports from Central Bank Governors, and wealthy Northerners.
Influence of social media, fueling boko haram activities?? Hmm!
True Baba but som mumu on ds blog will still find a way to fault ur thoughts.its just unfortunate dt kids dt shud still b suckling breast dish out children lik bread from d oven wivout proper education about life,career n religion. I swear som men shud b castrated so dey can't pass on dia stupidity to som1 else
Gbam #fact
Islamic education indeed,is it not the Islamic education that allows paedophile/child marriage ? That's d worst education man...
GBAM! The north and to some extension the rest of Nigeria need to stop arangee marriage... besides all those imams on youtube are corrupting the minds of young muslims worldwide not just nigeria

Hmmmmmmmmm truth dey dis talk,God help us all....
Sanusi, give me a holler let us work on this together!!

Hmmmmmmm, true talk. Emir is 100% correct
Very true , this he goats called boko haram live off the attention gotten from media
Their next move is to Ban social media in Nigeria like they do in some arab countries like turkey and Afghanistan , Nigerians be Wise !!!
This is somebody dat will be getting married to a 17years old girl as a 4th wife talking about early marriage.shame.
Nigerians hen.. someone make a valid point and all you see is an agenda behind it. Dis tribal hatred is 2 much.
The killer of Gideon Akaluka Emir of Kano Sanusi
What Emir Sanusi of Kano can do to assist towards a lasting solution of the problem he has diagnosed, is to, first: spear-head a family planning campaign in which quality of life as oppossed to meaningless number or quantity of children, becomes a thing of the past. Matter of fact, almost all the challenges enumerated are simply off-shoots from the main determinant: poor family planning practices in the given culture.
@ debbie damsel, Gbma! islam is curse to human race.. Can you even read at all? how you can translate what he said to islam being a curse to human race is beyond me..
Not mostly but only happens in their territory. SS and SE do not marry their children off at the age of 8,9,10......
Wat is wrong with dis Juliet? Ur head correct so?
DO PEOPLE STILL THINK THAT ISLAM IS A GOOD RELIGION? ONLY THOSE THAT ARE DEATH AND CONSCIENCELESS WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD ON TO ISLAM. WE ALL KNOW THAT ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF SATAN
In the past he talked abt revenue sharing formula ws the course of the insurgences and dat they shuld be given amensty
I'm so disappointed with this man. How can he utter such rubbish when they are the highest offender of pedophiles, insurgents and killings. Its easy to blame the social media as a cover up. mtchewwwwwwwwwww
Hmmm. So true, and not only with Islamic extremism...
