The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has said that, should Nigerian 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 backwards.
Emir Sanusi, said this in his key note address during the opening ceremony of Kaduna State’s Investment and Economic Summit, KADINVEST, titled: ‘Promoting Investment Amidst Economic Challenges’.
The Emir, then urged that it would be wrong to mirror the living standard in the North, in line with the oil rich Niger Delta, commercially viable Lagos, and business oriented South-East.
He also said that the North-East and West, are the poorest regions in the country, and even in the world.
“Other Muslim countries have pushed on. We are fighting culture, we are fighting civilization. You tell me that you should not write love book in Northern Nigeria”, he said.
He also said that it is wrong to burn books of science, based on religion.
“What is the crime of those books?” he asked. Going further, he questioned the right of people in having more children in the region, without having the resources to take care of them.
“Of what benefit is it to the North, having three million children roaming about?” Emir Sanusi asked.
