Some weeks ago, the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II gave a 21-minute talk about issues bedeviling a number of these states. He spoke, as usual, in a calm, coherent, logical, philosophical, intelligent and respectful way; on banditry, kidnapping, education, insecurity, unemployment, over-population, and highlighted the need for responsible parenting.
