A head that has worn the crown of kingship remains a crown head forever. A crown head does not lose status, in life or in death.

So when a king abdicates, which is voluntary....or is dethroned, which is involuntary, what happens to him afterward?

The first thing is the thought of replacement. There are always eligible candidates to take over kingship. Beyond that, there is dilemma of having two living crown heads reside in the same domain. No matter the goodwill between them there will be clash of interests amongst loyalists.

To forestall issues and attendant disorders, abdicated and deposed crown heads are viewed as natural rivals to the sitting Monarch and kept separate and away in exile.

A deposed crown head can no longer act or see himself in the role of ordinary citizen. This is forbidden. He retains privilege of a crownhead and subsidized by the government. He cannot look for job but he can chair public and private institutions for compensation and can lobby.

In history, and typically, deposed kings have been in advanced age. They are past productive age and remain exile and in retirement feeding fat on government purse till they die.

In the case of Sanusi, he is still young, productive and cerebral. Could he go into academic field and teach University, or join a policy think tank, chair some corporate boards?

His banishment to Nassarawa and the costs of living in Nassarawa will be on Kano Govt. The arrangement will continue till death with privileges of crown head intact....unless if he chooses to pursue his own interests and earn money privately....at which point he could go anywhere that pleases him but all his privileges will be stripped in that case.

He can never enter Kano again, unless first pardoned. If he does he could be arrested. He will only go to Kano on two occassions, honoring an invite by the Kano Govt or an invite from Kano Emir and the Emirate Council.

He cannot apply. He is no longer an ordinary citizen. World Bank must seek him, which is highly unlikely.

Ganduje has shown that the Emir is a political appointment.

A monarch that is answerable to a tenured elected politician is no monarch abeg.

The case of abdication and dethronement only applies for real sovereign heads with real powers that constitute a threat to their successor.

In North, Sanusi is a superbly educated and foremost scholar.

In South, he is a nobody academically or professionally.

He got the First Bank job and subsequently CBN by his bloodline, not because he is an intellectual.

He is not qualified to lead a bank Nigeria....much more a world bank. What are you guys smoking?

Unlike the typical Northerner Sanusi's spoken English is polished, beside that what else does he have to put him in world bank?

I posted something the day the news broke. In that post, I said that I knew he was going to be sent on exile. It was the way he was swiftly sent into exile that somewhat surprised me and not the mere fact that he was actually sent into exile.

For every deposed monarch, that is the rule. That is why I laugh at all those human rights activists saying that his rights to 'reside in Kano should be respected'. They don't know jerk.

My father explained it to me as a kid long time ago.

Now, here is the logic: Deposed or not, can there be two kings in a Kingdom??

Only the discerning can fully understand this. Once a king is deposed, he has no business whatsoever remaining in that same Kingdom over which he once presided. No sentiments about that. He must be coerced into exile at all costs. It is an age-old tradition.

OP is actually spot on on this. Only those versed in the monarchical system can fully understand this.

So that he can sell World Bank to his friends as he did with Oceanic and Intercontinental Bank. His forefathers must be mad.

He is down on the ground where he truly belongs. Useless Mallam. The thousands of bankers in Oceanic Bank, Intercontinental Bank, Bank PHB and others who lost their jobs when Sanusi Lamido forcefully took over healthy banks and sold the banks to his criminal friends at give away will not rest until Sanusi goes six feet under the soil. He is now stripped nakked and on the ground, but he is going six feet under to meet his father Lucifer.

I guess you've never heard of puppet-kings or puppet-monarchs then. History is replete with examples of puppet monarchs.
In Nigeria's case, ever since the British instituted their rule (starting from c. 19th/20th century), the concept of puppet monarchy has been a thing. They started this tradition whereby the governor can simply do as he wishes with the traditional ruler.

All traditional rulers in Nigeria are mere puppet kings holding office at the mercy or patronage of a higher authority- usually the one who hands him the staff of office at coronation.

A monarch is a monarch regardless of how you view it or how much power he wields.

Op still has a point. A valid one at that.

Don't just take my word for it. Go search and read up on the concept of puppet monarchy.

This is something I hear a lot
How is he very intelligent.? I really do not get it?
How is he more intelligent than the other Sanusi that was CBN governor or than any other CBN governor?
That he was the first CBN governor to donate CBN money to his state.?

Yinka Odumakin said in the past we knew CBN governors by their signature and photograph I.e they did not talk unnecessarily or politically.
This is the case around the world. CBN governors are like the referees in a football game. They are doing a good job when they remain,unnoticed unobtrusive.

As such we should see Sanusi for what he is ,a narcissicistic attention seeker with lack of discretion ,tact and common sense.

I really do struggle with this business of self promotion in Nigeria we have seen it with the likes of Sanusi,El Rufai,
and many others.

When you dig deeper and interrogate these notions you see nothing of substance.
I do not see how he is more intelligent than Jim Ovia,,MC Oluomo or Goodluck Jonathan.

In one month Sanusi spoke more than Emefiele does in one year does that make him more intelligent?
A man who is always getting sacked is not very intelligent especially when he lacks the aptitude to start his own business.
Sanusi got to where he did because of who he is .

This is a really good thread, so let me chip in my own two cents.
Everything Metaphysical has said is on point. Once a king is deposed, he can no longer enter the land he once ruled.

I'll use the example of King Edward VII. The English King who abdicated his throne to marry his American lover Wallis Simpson. He spent all his life abroad.

He was given special permission to attend family funerals and the only time he stepped foot in the United Kingdom without permission was when they brought back his dead body from France for burial. You can read more about him here:
