Emir Sanusi’s Grandfather Was Dethroned In 1963 & It’s About To Repeat Itself

Emir Sanusi

Emir Muhammadu Sanusi May Go The Way Of His Grandfather

Just As His Grandfather, Muhammadu Sanusi 1, Was Dethroned As A Result Of Power Struggle (hidden Under The Cloak Of A Probe) Between Him And Ahmadu Bello. The Current Emir Of Kano Is Also Under Political Persecution.

It was a dramatic denouement to a conflict that started months earlier. The setting was Government House in Kaduna in 1963 and the two characters that day were Sir Kashim Ibrahim, Governor of Northern Region and Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi 1, grandfather of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi (now Muhammadu Sanusi 11), the current occupant of that throne.

The two men exchanged greetings by shaking hands stiffly. Sir Kashim, with a probably shaky voice, delivered a bomb. Government had accepted to implement the recommendation of the probe panel, set up by Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto and the Premier of Northern Region, that Sanusi should be removed from office.

“Do you have any response to this?” Sir Kashim asked, without making eye contacts. Sanusi, with the gait of a stoic, answered with philosophical equanimity: “Nothing”.

Sir Kashim, thereafter, fished out a prepared resignation letter for Sanusi to sign. He did without shaking.
The Governor asked his guest further where he wanted to go into exile. Sanusi senior chose Azare, a city in Bauchi State. Like King Jaja of Opobo, Oba Ovonramwen Nogbaisi of Benin or Olowo of Owo, Oba Olateru Olagbegi who were banished outside their domains by the powers that be (the first two by the British colonialists and the last, by Governor Adeyinka Adebayo of Western Region), that was the beginning of Patriarch Sanusi’s journey into exile in Azare where he spent 20 years and died.

What happened in 1963 as a result of power tussle between him and Ahmadu Bello is repeating itself in 2017 between the northern political establishment and the current Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi 11. He too is to be probed, a situation of political deja vu. The Kano State House of Assembly has set up an eight-man committee, headed by the Chief Whip of the House, Alhaji Labaran Abdul, to probe Sanusi II. Just like such was directed at his grandfather, questions were being raised on alleged misconduct and alleged misappropriation of funds belonging to the Kano Emirate Council. The Speaker of the state assembly, Kabiru Alhassan Rurum accused Sanusi of spreading rumour on the trip of the Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje to China recently to hold discussions on a light rail project in the state, arguing that it “was capable of tarnishing the governor’s image, the state government and that of the assembly.”
The speaker added: “The emir during his speech in Kaduna, alleged that the Kano State governor and his entourage, including me as the Chairman of the House Committee on Works, wasted one month in China seeking for a loan to construct the light rail project. The emir’s statement was not true, we spent only four days in China, and our visit was to find out the capacity of the company to handle the rail project. His allegation has brought a lot of insults to my person, the state government and the House of Assembly by the general public in and outside the state.”

The speaker took a dig at Sanusi for acting against tradition by sending his daughter who failed to wear the “full traditional regalia”to represent him at a function organised by the Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) group in Abuja, saying, “There are many responsible Emirate Council members who could have represented him at the programme. This is the first time we are seeing such in the history of the traditional home.”

The speaker still had more bullets to fire at Sanusi’s fragile frame, saying the traditional ruler had begun to introduce religious views that are, as ThisDay put it, contrary to the teachings of Islam, saying such things were capable of undermining the religion. Worse still, he charged that Sanusi was “getting involved in political issues, the misappropriation of the Emirate Council’s funds and making statements against President Muhammadu Buhari.”

This Couple Is Getting Married After Losing Almost 600 Pounds Together (pics)

“We started talking at the gym and I hate to sound cliche but it was love at first sight.”

Andrea Masella first started crushing on Ronnie Brower after seeing him repeatedly at the gym in 2013, she said.

Since then, they’ve lost a combined 578 pounds. They’re also getting married on Saturday in their hometown of Syracuse, New York.

“I was just really inspired by him and I thought he was super cute,” Masella, 24, said of how they met. “We started talking at the gym and I hate to sound cliche but it was love at first sight.”

Brower started going to the gym because at 28 years old — and at his peak weight of 675 pounds — his doctor told him he wouldn’t live to see 30 if he didn’t lose weight. Now, at 32, he’s 458 pounds lighter and is living a much healthier lifestyle. Masella lost about 120 pounds in the same time period.

“I was depressed, addicted to pills and alcohol, eating 10 double cheeseburgers or two large pizzas at a time,” Brower said. Things changed for him after his first date with Masella, which was a ping-pong and basketball date at the gym. “Both of us had used food as a coping mechanism; I would just eat my feelings,” she added. “We’ve gone through a lot of counseling to come to terms with that and change.”

Seven ways social media can ruin your life

Social media has become a part of our daily life and many of us cannot do without it. What you don’t know is that your addiction to social media is affecting your lives negatively. Read on to know how social media can ruin your life.

According to Jumia Travel, phone users should perhaps cut down on the hours they spend on social media like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Overthinking emoticons

Some people while interacting or chatting with someone else share an emoticon; they begin to give all sorts of meanings and interpretations to it. It is funny that just because of an emoticon, they get themselves all worked up and worried. Why? It is just an emoticon.

Checking/updating every second

You have become so attached to Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat that you are checking and updating them every second. The day you don’t access your accounts because you don’t have data, you become hysterical and irrational. It is not a matter of life and death.

Bragging about likes, followers and comments

The number of likes, followers and comments you have has become a thing to brag about and show off. The rule is that the more followers you have, the more traction and engagement you get. True, you do not have to boast about it. Some people go as far as buying likes, followers and even comments.

Posting without thinking

Many of us have converted social media to an abuse platform. A place where we criticise and troll people. As a result, more and more people are in trouble because of what they share and say on social media. Presently, a popular United States-based Nigerian journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, is being prosecutedfor the content she shared on social media. Always, think before you share.

Making up just because you want to share picture on Instagram

This is peculiar to girls. They do not have anywhere to go but they dress up, apply make-up and take beautiful pictures just to post on Instagram or Facebook. It is ridiculous.

Staying up late

We all do this. We spend hours flying from one social media platform to another. Meanwhile, we are very sleepy but we still continue browsing. Surprisingly, they sleep off while on Twitter or WhatsApp. Hence, many of us don’t get enough sleep because of social media.

Seeking social media validation

Seeking social media validation can lead to depression. This is because you wait for others to give you approval for your life activities. If you don’t get the desired response, you become depressed. You should stop seeking social media validation and live your life.

5 Sex Tips for When Your Partner Is Dramatically Taller or Shorter Than You Are

If you and your boo are significantly different sizes—you know, like Shaq and ex-girlfriend Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander here—getting down in the bedroom can become somewhat of a chore and, life’s too short for that.

As someone who’s 5’1″ and has dated guys significantly taller than me—I’m talking 6’4″—I’m all too familiar with having my face stuck in someone’s armpit or spending 20 minutes in the shower trying to figure out a position that works best for both of us. Update: Shower sex has not worked.

But just because you scored a tall drink of water (or someone petite) doesn’t mean you can’t have as much great sex as other couples. So grab a pen and paper, and get ready to give these tips a try. You’re welcome in advance.

1. Be willing to experiment.

This goes for everyone but especially those with extreme height differences. Experimentation is key to finding out what works best for you and it will of course vary from person to person. For example, a 69-type position might be tough for shorties like me, but getting creative by using props like stairs or a wedge pillow might just do the trick.

2. Speaking of wedge pillows, buy one.

If you’ve never heard of it until now, again, you’re welcome. This bad boy is a damn dream and I don’t mean because you sleep on it. Although I suppose you could. Positions like doggy style can be difficult when someone’s hips are lower than their partner’s, so use this pillow to help give you a boost.

3. Maintain a sense of humor.

If you don’t think sex can be awkward AF sometimes, please show yourself so I can meet you and find out what planet you come from. Why? Because someone is bound to hit their head on something random or yell something they might immediately regret. The important thing to remember is to laugh it off; no need to let it ruin the mood. Unless, of course, they yell someone else’s name. In that case, kick ’em to the curb.

4. Spooning sex is your BFF.

Missionary is usually a go-to position for any couple, but spoon sex works for just about everyone. The best part? It’s perfect for when you’re feeling lazy and still feels amazing.

5. Keep in mind, there’s more to sex than just P in V.

Get creative—toys, mouths, edible underwear. Whatever gets you going. Just remember that everything must be consensual. Otherwise, go *ahem* nuts.

MAGU’s EFCC, LOOT DISCOVERY AND DECEIT!

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) led by Mr. Ibrahim Magu is engaged in a game. And it is a game of deceit. It is a game of duplicity. It is a game of treachery against the people of Nigeria. It is a game that would eventually have high costs for his masters. It is a game that would also be costly for the polity of Nigeria. It is a dangerous game. Without any doubt, it is a political game. But this is a different genre of political game with deadly dimensions.

First, it was N49 million found at the Kaduna Airport. The EFCC in a statement by its spokesman, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren noted that “the bags were left unattended to and without tags.” The PUNCH newspaper reported that the bags “were found to contain crispy naira notes with seals purportedly emanating from the Nigerian Security Printing and Minting PLC seen on the sacks.” According to Ibrahim Bappah, the money sacks were discovered at the baggage check-in at the Kaduna International Airport “ready to be taken out of the country.”

Now the question is this, what kind of investigation is this? Is this not planted money by the EFCC? In an Airport with security camera, how come there were no recordings of those who brought in the bags of money? If the money was a “proceed of crime,” would the objective not be to catch the criminals? How about monitoring the sack from a safe distance to see who comes in to take it (they call it surveillance) and have him arrested to explain the source of the money?

How is it possible for someone to bring such large amount of money into the Airport for whatever purposes and leave it unattended? Was the owner of the money tipped off that EFCC was on the way so that he could run away and abandon the money? What really is the true position of things? Since then what has EFCC done investigative wise? What update does EFCC have for Nigerians?

Then it was the N.5 billion found stashed in a shop 64 with a Bureau De Change signage at LEGICO Shopping Plaza, Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island, Lagos. The money was reportedly stashed in several Ghana-Must-Go bags and was in N500 and N1000 denominations. And further questions remained again: What is the explanation of the EFCC for not putting surveillance on the shop? What did EFCC do to identify and locate the owner of the shop? Was EFCC able to interview the landlord before making this public?

Or was the intention of the EFCC to ensure that the owner never came forward to claim the money? What makes the EFCC think that the owner would show up after the place has been raided, even if the money was legitimate in the climate that pervades Nigeria presently? What due diligence did EFCC do? What investigation has EFCC done since that incident? Any update for Nigerians? None.

And next….! In an apartment in Ikoyi, the EFCC reportedly discovered $38 millio, N23 million and 27,000 pounds. All the pictures of the monies showed that it has not gone through many hands. It was neatly arranged. And the questions again: Who is the owner of the property? Who is the owner of the apartment? Did the so-called whistleblower not identify the owner of the money for EFCC? How come the owner was not caught unaware? Was he tipped off by the EFCC or the whistleblower? How did the whistleblower know that the money was there? Was he or she complicit in any manner? Or the motive was to escape the wrath of the law by squealing on the owner?

Either way, the EFCC ought to have a culprit to prosecute, unless this is a game to confuse Nigerians, mislead them and divert their attention from pressing issues of poverty facing them from the incompetence of this Mohammadu Buhari’s administration. How come no one has been identified as the owner of the money? How come the source of information was so incomplete? How come there was no surveillance to see who goes into and comes out of that building and the particular apartment? What rapport, if any, did the EFCC have with the owner of the property as part of their investigation?

The building has to belong to somebody. The apartment has to belong to somebody. The Shop 64 has to belong to somebody. The Airport in Kaduna had to have security camera that could reveal the smugglers of the money found. How come we do not have answers to these questions? Is this not a stunt being pulled on Nigerians? Is Magu engaged in a game of grand deceit of Nigerians?

If this is not a game, what kind of investigation do you call this? Is this just an issue of incompetence? Or Magu and his men are engaged in their own form of corruption? What exactly is going on?

Yes, Nigerians want to fight corruption. But obviously, this is not the way to do it. Magu is patently incompetent. He does not know what he is doing. He is not investigating anything. He is not prosecuting anyone. He is an egomaniac. He only wants publicity through grandstanding. Honest, sincere and credible investigations are not done via the media. Prosecutions are not done in the media but in the courts. He is only playing on the desire of Nigerians to get rid of corruption and catch the thieves. But Magu is betraying Nigeria and Nigerians. He is doing nothing.

I do not know how you justify two years on a job without any evidence of productivity. How do you justify a war on corruption that has not convicted a single person in two years? And this is despite reported overwhelming evidence against some of the accused? How do you justify a war on corruption that is selective, unbalanced and inequitable? How do you justify a war on corruption that is unfocused? How do you justify the competence of a Commission that spends so much resource without any result?

To make matters worse, Magu and if EFCC do not even know how much they have recovered! Haba! For Eledumare’s sake, how can you retrieve money from looters and not keep account for the people? How could you not have proper records of what you have collected and where the loots are located? Are the retrieved monies in the EFCC offices in Abuja? Or Are they deposited in the Central Bank? If the looted monies are deposited in the Central Bank, why not publish the records for the public to see and convinced the country that you are honest and dilligent?

Why the secrecy about the retrieved loots? How much has been collected and from whom? Why is the records not made available to Nigerians? So, after all, this is a fake anti corruption war? Is this EFCC not a vehicle of political vendetta? Is EFCC meeting the expectations of the Nigerians fatigued about corruption? Is this not a game being played? Is this not a script being acted out?

It is time to stop this deadly game that Magu is playing on behalf of his masters with the psyche of Nigerians. We may all not be smart, but we are not all idiots. It is time to shove Magu aside. There is need for a more competent hand. Or we should just forget the whole anti corruption war altogether. No use deceiving ourselves.

“In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility – I welcome it.”

Meet the man with the largest joystick in the world

The man with the world’s longest joystick: 54-year-old man rejects the chance to have his 18-inch member reduced (but he won’t be able to have sex unless he does so)

The man with the world’s longest joystick has rejected the possibility of having a reduction – even if it means he won’t ever have sex.

Roberto Esquivel Cabrera, 54, from Saltillo, Mexico, has a joystick measuring a colossal 18.9 inches when flaccid – touching his knee.

He made headlines worldwide in 2015 after a video went viral showing him weighing his member to prove its authenticity.

His half-metre joystick smashed the unofficial record believed to belong to US actor Jonah Falcon, whose joystick was 9.5 inches flaccid and 13.5 inches when erect.

‘I would like to be in the Guinness Book of Records but they don’t recognise this record,’ he told Barcroft TV.

‘I am famous because I have the biggest joystick in the world. I am happy with my joystick, I know nobody has the size I have.’

But despite his pride, members of the medical community have urged him to at least consider a penile reduction.

Dr Jesus David Salazar Gonzalez said: ‘We have advised him “Roberto, the best thing for you is that the doctors give a normal shape to your joystick so that it doesn’t hurt you, in order to have sexual relationships, in order to have children”.

whoever has the bigger joystick is more macho.

‘It’s something that makes him different to the rest of the people and makes him feels special.’

Doctors recently did a thorough examination of Mr Cabrera’s joystick, confirming suspicions that the bulk of his nearly 20-inch joystick is foreskin.

His penile glands stretch only seven inches, meaning the rest of his member is completely foreskin and blood vessels.

The sheer size of Mr Cabrera’s joystick causes him a number of health problems, including frequent urinary tract infections because not all his urine escapes his lengthy foreskin.

While he keeps his colossal member wrapped in bandages to escape chaffing.

He is also unable to sleep chest down and has to put his joystick on its own pillow to escape discomfort during the night.

And an active sex life is off limits for him as his joystick has too much girth to have intercourse.

Mr Cabrera added: ‘Some people ask me if I put some condoms on it and the answer is: I cannot. I can never penetrate anyone because it is too thick.’

While living in the US, he attempted to have sex twice, but the first woman backed out as soon as she saw his joystick.

While the other one had to stop because it was too painful.

Mr Cabrera says his joystick is a ‘disability’ and stops him working – forcing him to rely on food banks to survive.

uniform like anybody in the companies and also I cannot get on my knees,’ he said.

‘I cannot run fast and so the companies think badly of  me. They say that they will call me, but they never do.’
