The Emir of Kano Alhaji Ado Bayero has conferred the traditional title of Sardaunan Kano on Governor Ibrahim Shekarau. Daily Trust gathered that this is the first time the Emirate is conferring the title of Sardauna on anyone in the state.

The title is traditionally affiliated to the virtues of the late Premier of the defunct Northern Region and Sardauna of Sokoto Sir. Ahmadu Bello. Senior Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations to the Governor Sule Ya'u Sule said this in a statement in Kano yesterday.

According to him, Shekaru accepted the offer and pledged to uphold the virtues of the late Sardauna of Sokoto. "While accepting the honour done to him, Malam Shekaru thanked the emir and his council for the historic recognition.

It is indeed an honour not only to him, but to the entire citizens of Kano State", the statement said. The date for the turbaning ceremony would be fixed after the Eid-el Kabir festival.

If a dog bites a man is no story, but if a man bites a dog is a big story!

[Muhsin]

Well said, Jibo.

But I will appreciate it more if you elaborate.

[Jibo]

That's Muhsin for us! You see it is no big news that people like Shekarau and the old Generals are conferred with many titles. Misali zai zama gagarumin labari in aka ce yau ga wani da yayi abin bajinta wanda yake talaka ne an bashi wani rawani, ko kuma wata karramawa ta musamman. Misali ai abin da Shekarau yayi ya sha bamban da abin da Audu Bako, ko Rimi suka yi a Kano ne? Kuma misali akwai mutane da dama da ya kamata a karrama wadanda sunyi abubuwan mamaki wadanda har yanzu ba'a sami kamrsu ba kamar Malam Aminu Kano, Kamar wadanda suka yi fice amma basu da kumbar susa Aliyu Namangi, Akilu Aliyu Ma'azu Hadeja, Koda yake shi ba bakano bane... Ga su irinsu da dama. Da an ce yau an ba Prof. Abdalla lambar karramawa ta masarautar Kano ai da yafi ba mutane karfin gwiwa, domin ba kowa ne zai zama gwamna a Kano ba balle a bashi Sardauna; amma mutane da dama zasu iya kwaikwayon hazakar Prof. Abdalla, kamar kai Muhsin...

That was an ample explanation, Jibo. Thanks.

And, I will like to add one more thing; why is that sort of deceit and cover-up happen? Don't our so-called royal fathers think (that) that rather tarnish their image in the eyes of critical thinkers? They ought to put a stop to that or else it will someday come out in wash, and as thus everybody will "see" behind the frayed scene.

Ku dai kuce dai tit for tat akayi. Shekarau Ya baiwa sarakuna motoci, shi kuma ambashi sarauta. Ni gani nake ma sarkin ba a cikin hayyacinsa yake sosai sosai, he is getting senile otherwise ba zai ce wai mukamin sardaunan ya kere na duk wanda ya shige gabansa ba a da. Wannan clearly aikin fada wansa ne. Shi Sarkin Kano yanzu da girma ya zo masa sai dai yadda aka yi da shi (in all probability).

Wato an tabo abinda kike so. Da kin boye, amma daga fito da thread din sukar Shekarau, har kinyi karaf kin fito ::) Anyway, welcome back from your sabbatical ;D

I agree with you that the Emir took it too far by saying the title of Sardauna now surpasses those that were there. I don't think it's right. Aside that, nothing is out of the ordinary about it. Titles are being conferred on people daily. It is ridiculous but that's the norm these days. You either deserve it, or you pay for. And Shekarau deserves it as much as any other person. But since it is Shekarau, naturally some people would come out with daggers. It is bound to raise some dust.

Ai Rimi ne ya bude baki ya ce wai ai da sarkin ma rawanin sa ya cire ya bawa shekarau din..
Shine sarki ya mai da martani.

[bakangizo]

Yeah. Na ji shi. It shows how fickle Rimi has become in his oppposition tactics. No matter how inconsquential an issue is, as long as it has to do with Shekarau, sai ya yi magana. Da abin da ya dace ya fada, da wanda bai dace bama, duk sai ya fito yana shirme. Ya kasa jan girmanshi. It is unfortunate, because in retaliation, you see people that ordinarily should hold him in high regard and awe, turn out bashing him on radio stations. Ko Kwankwaso da ake ganin cewa he lacks tact, now behaves more maturedly than him.

[Bashir Ahmad]

Ni a ganina biyayyar da shekarau kewa sarki ne yasa yace "yafi duk hakimansa kuma shine baban dansa" idan kudi ke siyan sarauta da tuni wasu sun zama manya manyan sarakuna domin suna da kudin da zasu siya ko nawane.

[Bashir Ahmad]

Ni a ganina biyayyar da shekarau kewa sarki ne yasa yace "yafi duk hakimansa kuma shine baban dansa" idan kudi ke siyan sarauta da tuni wasu sun zama manya manyan sarakuna domin suna da kudin da zasu siya ko nawane.

[GoodFella]

[IBB]

Ai Rimi ne ya bude baki ya ce wai ai da sarkin ma rawanin sa ya cire ya bawa shekarau din..
Shine sarki ya mai da martani.

Kuce duk mai zaku ce amma ni ya biya ni. Ina ce sarauta gado ce?

Tunda ba haka bane ai sai a bawa Shekarau sarautar kanon tun da shike mulki, kunga ya mulke gaba daya. Ai dama jama'ar kanon ne suka zabe shi
