Emir of kano, sanusi, drops a bombshell that will shake Nigeria, says he is ready to embrace Christianity than to continue with radical Islam

His Royal Highness, the Emir of Kano,  Lamido Sanusi, has denounced radical Islamic teachings that breed poverty in Northern Nigeria.

Emir of kano, sanusi made this know through his Instagram page, noted that the Southern Christians had set the pace of development in the country, and apparently left the North behind.

He urged Governors such as Abubakar Yari of Zamfara State, to pay attention to his opinions, and teach his people to be productive, instead of being beggars.

He wrote: “It’s my duty to speak the truth about the ill-effects of conservative Muslims who are harming Islam, rather than helping it.

“I condemned their refusal to expand their knowledge outside their own religion, and failure to realise that knowledge is power.

“I also correctly concluded denying the right to pursue scientific and technological knowledge and restricting people to Islamic knowledge, is the best means of ensuring that Muslims in Northern Nigeria will remain economically backward.

“I’m upset at the legion of beggars on the streets, and is trying to bridge the gap between the backward North and the Southern parts of the nation.

“I still believe that conservative Muslims are still stuck in the 13th Century, and their claim that children need no other knowledge than Islamic studies, flies in the face of reality.

“All the poverty, under-development, and immense suffering in the North, are a result of uneducated masses, refusing to learn work or a trade.

“The majority of Technicians in Kano are from the South, while untrained indigenes beg. How does that make sense?

“Why is it that conservative Muslims who claim to be against scientific progress, enter aeroplanes and fly to perform the Hajj in Mecca, rather than using camels to cross the desert! Why do they watch sermons beamed by TV live from Mecca, and read the Holy Quaran on their laptops, yet profess to abhor modern technology?

“I’d like to point out that there is no harm in copying from the West, if it brings succor to the masses of poverty stricken Muslims in Northern Nigeria.

“After all, Saudi Arabia, the “home” of Islam, is known for its highly-rated airline, modern hospitals, indigenous oil industry, and space program, all of which make it a world leader.

“In our backward nation, we insist on denying the truth. Unless Northern political leaders like Governor Yari, pay attention to me, there will never be a day when anywhere in the North will be like the modern Muslim cities of Kuala Lumpar, Istanbul, Jakarta, Lahore, Greater Cairo, Dacca, Karachi, Dubai, Riyadh, or Faisalabad.”
