And the staring continues till date for the blacks. Even Òyìbó sef dey stare. How many black and white dey stare at traffic light these days? Time has a wonderful way of rendering things. WE ALL, REGARDLESS OF THE COLOUR OF OUR SKIN OR TRIBE, HAVE OUR 'TRAFFIC-LIGHT' MOMENTS LIKE THE EMIRS. Only be say di object or technology go dey different. |

The Emir of Katsina Muhammadu Dikko ( 1865 - 1944) was the first reigning emir to visit UK which he did in 1924 and again in 1937. ( he did not visit London in 1940). He was also the first emir to start a western school for girls. Dikko was the grandfather of Late General Hassan Usman Katsina the first Military Governor of Northern Nigeria under Ironsi. He ( Dikko) is the great grandfather of the Present Emir of Katsina Abdulmumin Kabir. This is a picture of Emir Dikko with 2 of his sons at Hyde Park London in one of his visits.

How much we don't know and how much our knowledge of history, particularly education is reflected in the type of uninformed, shabby and shallow comments we give on a lot of posts here. You should know that the late Emir was of one the most intelligent, smart, and forward-looking monarchs in Nigeria during the colonial era, he did everything to bring all the good things he saw the white man offer to his land. He promoted schools e.g Katsina College, girl-child education, encouraged female equality and allowed development to come to his land. No wonder the British picked him out of the many for a visit to England. I don't think he was just amazed at that traffic light. I believe that in his mind was thinking about how to develop transportation in his emirate. 1 Like 1 Share |
