The Emir of Kano, Malam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi (Muhammadu Sanusi II), as the American Writer Henry Miller said, is an example a philosophical postulations that "The only thing we never get enough is Love".
If the information reaching us is anything to go by, the Emir is set to take his fourth wife, come July 2015. The bridal candidate is a 17-year-old beautiful daughter of the Lamido of Adamawa, Alhaji Muhammadu Barkindo Aliyu Musdafa.
Sanusi, an accomplished banker, who became the 14th Emir of Kano last June, is a respected Islamic Scholar, and his decision to take a new wife is in line with Islamic injunction which prescribes a maximum of four wives for those who can treat all of them equally. Already, Sanusi has three beautiful wives - Sadiya, Maryam and Rakiya. Like in ancient times when bonds between empires were deepened by marriages among royals and nobles across boundaries, the betrothal of the Adamawa princess to Emir Sanusi II may also be a move to deepen royal bond between Adamawa and Kano. Historically, both emirates have similar origins in the 19 century Usman dan Fodio’s jihad. Our dependable source hinted us that all is set for the marriage rite and all things being equal, the invitation card is already in circulation as at the time we are compiling this report. The event has been slated to happen inside the Emirs Palace, and many dignitaries have been penciled to honor the invitation from the former banker turned Emir. We will furnish you with more information as soon as we lay our hands on them.
