Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, while addressing the audience during the opening ceremony of Kaduna States investment and economic summit (KADINVEST) titled "promoting investment amidst economic challenges" said, that if Nigeria should be broken into smaller components today, the northern part of the country would be the poorest of the regions.
The Emir also urged Muslims to imbibe and adopt western education and stop using religion and culture to set the region backward.
He said that the living standard in the north shouldn't be compared with other regions of the country, that the north east and north west are the most poorest in the country and even the world.
He complained that other Muslim countries have moved on, but they are using religion to fight culture and civilisation. He also criticised the fact that books on love and science are been burnt and banned. In his actual words,
“What is the crime of those books?” he asks. Going further, he questioned the right of people in having more children in the region without having the resource to take care of them.
“Of what benefit is it to the north, having three million children roaming about?” he asks.
