Emir Sanusi is too cerebral for the throne he sits on.

A king must feel, not think! Sanusi thinks too much...sometimes hurts his message.

The Emir made sense in this outburst but I believe it would be well received if he had repositioned somethings and achieve the same goal with tact, rather than this cold and detached blunt message...or dagger to the heart of the victims.

Sanusi should not be rebuked for his statement. There is truth in it...but he should be admonished before releasing statement to press to compose it first as draft...keep it locked up....and give few days to calm and reflect before publishing it.

What type of statement is this you are making. A king must feel not think. I don't understand. So he should put his emotions first before his reasoning.
I don hear another one today.

Awoleesu:


Ok. I think I understand you. Your expectation would have been for him to subscribe to the extreme version of condemning the act... Maybe in the similitude of Ganduje's "death penalty" ko?

Not necessarily how Ganduje did. But at least he can say I sympathize with the families of these children. We will make sure they get rehabilitated and continue with their studies.

For the Kidnappers we will make sure Justice is done. Then from then he can move on to speak on roles of parents on protecting their kids. These kids are not beggers as he is putting it. From his statements one can claim they got abducted while begging on the street.

Well, if nothing, I should doff my hat to you for reacting to my comment without bile.

For me I address people based on how they address me.

You sure have a good analytical sense of approach to issues! Your recommendation is actually a good, if not better option. I can't agree less...

That's cool!

Has your side ever win even for once? Irony is when a second class citizen is asking me to shut up.

When you talk about Nigeria, no one consider your tribe as even third class, first president you are missing in action, first military president yours is nowhere to be found, first senate president and second interim president.. I can't list more, now go back to Togo or Guinea where your forefathers crip out from.. House negro.

No wonder Governor dollar don't like him because he keep saying the truth as it is

Look at this boy. First Prime Minister Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa. First democratically elected President Shehu Shagari. Military head of states; Gowon, Abdussalam, Murtala, Buhari, Abacha. Yaradua, Buhari. Don't have time to list positions like Senate president for you.

Now burry your head in shame.

Now I believe the saying that your tribe are illegal immigrants to Nigeria... We are talking about president that have the final say and you are here ranting about a prime minister that goes away all time to deliver his masters message, don't forget who was Nigerian last governor General before even the independence.

All the criminals you mentioned none was elected by the Nigerian people.. Go back to Guinea.

Keep on disgracing yourself in a public forum. You earlier thought am from Southwest just like that, then realize you're messing with the wrong guy.

All I want you to understand is you have no say in who becomes the President. Whether you support sunusi as the only Muslim or Northerner you can vote for or any other person, it makes no difference. Like who cares.

Your vote or opinion are inconsequential. If you support a stone, the stone will still lose.

For the fact that no one care about your post says it all... Who care about the poor North.. Southern Nigeria should create a visa for you guys... None from North ever won the presidency... They are all criminals parading as Nigerians including you. Get lost north is nothing.

Yorubas are the most evil minded set of people i have ever encountered. I have never seen people this way. Even fulanis are not like this. Tufiakwa

Your people went to another man's land to commit crime of kidnap, identity theft and forced religion on them....you do not find the spirit to condemn the criminals, you are blaming Yoruba. There is no devil more visible than Ibo on this matter.

No. They are well fed better than how their parents take care of them. We are just helping the North take care of their kids. Beside we have shown them the only true religion so why should we condemned it. We don't believe they are even Kidnapped. We igbos are kind-hearted. The emir knows better, let's interview this so called criminals to make sure it's not the parent that willingly donate their children.

Wallahi!

Can you imagine the audacity from these ill-civilized forest dwellers...they go to another man's land to kidnap and steal identity of the children and when caught they have the mouth to say the parents ought to be glad for the way the children were well kept. More like the parents ought to celebrate that their children have not been chopped up and served in Onitsha restaurants. shyyyte!

Sanuman, you should be ashamed that you cannot provide security for your impoverished subjects.

That's negligence on the part of the parent.

I know you would try to justify the ills of your kinsmen but that doesn’t make stealing people’s children a good act. Not all the children were fed some were used for money ritual since it’s the only way Igbos know how to ‘make it’.

MOD, Lalasticala; Rule no 2 violated.
Be fair and do the needful.

Somebody sent his child to school along the line some unscrupulous elements abducted the child, transformed the child into something else, give him/her a new name and change his religion from Islam to Christianity.

After police rescued children, as a leader you did not share the grievance with parents, neither condemned the act, but all of a sudden you want to jail the parents when you have not jailed the Kidnappers.

As a leader you should try to stop the abduction first, charge the accused to court before you talk about the victims share of blame.

Where on earth did you got the information that these 9 kids were Kidnapped while begging on the street? Some were Kidnapped alongside with their mother, they later released the mother and left with the children. Can you call all these as an act of neglect

A child was on his way back home from school and he was abducted & someone tells me it is the parents fault.

Besides, these kidnappings weren't just random, they were well planned and organised. Instead of blaming the victims of this atrocious act, you're blame the community. This is like blaming a rape victim. Just because u are privileged to be a leader by an accident of birth doesn't give u the right to speak so arrogantly.

Indirectly he is giving the abductors an upper hand, because there is not a single sentence where he criminalised the abductors but he criminalised the victims.

I need someone to help me point out a single statement in the entire write-up where the accidental emir condemned the abductors.

*Just 1 is ok*

Be truthful to yourself.... Emir spoke the goddamn truth... The parents should be held responsible... How can u give birth to children u can't take care of...

Should parents of girls in baby factories be arrested and jailed for negligence? Let's reflect when we debate issues like this.

wirinet:




If is abroad (USA or UK), it's the parents fault. The police would blame the parent because it's the parents responsibility to ensure the child gets to and from school safely. Social services might even take away the child from the parent due to negligence.
When Madeleine Beth McCann was abducted in Portugal 12 years ago, the parents were arrested by the British Police. Although they were later released due to public outcry, the girl was never found.

In US and UK, parents don't just get blamed in every case of disappearance, kidnappings do happen always and it does not have to be due to carelessness. Madeline's parents were blamed, but that is because the appeared negligent, they left their children in bed while they were busy hanging out with friends in a strange country. Emir Sanusi was thoughtless, period! I admire his bluntness on issues affecting the north but to be honest he goofed on this one. Those kidnappers got so bold and were actually getting into houses and snatching children. I listened on a radio programme in Abuja the story of how a woman was beaten almost to death by some of them that broke into her home because she resisted their attempt to snatch her baby. It was the intervention of neighbours that save her and her child. What move did Sanusi make to curtail the menace in his emirate? It was that radio station that made a loud noise about the Kano kidnappings that resulted in the action the state police command took. Sanusi and Ganduje did nothing!
