Who's here after he got dethroned?
🙌🙌🙌
By God’s Grace SLS will rise up to even greater heights and achievements for Nigeria.
Blessings in disguise
@@olomosayetaofikolatunbosun9575 truly a blessing in disguise... He'll rise above it all
🙌
Revisiting this great TED Talk after the Emir of Kano SLS was deposed today at the hands of Governor Ganduje. I thank God this Nigerian hero left the palace alive - and is free to fight another great cause and inspire us from a bigger platform against the injustices of the “vested interests” of Nigeria....I pray God will protect and guide him!🙏🏾
Amen
Ganduje is an illiterate tyrant.
This man is among the few Nigerian leaders that I so much respect for his honesty and dedication to nation building.
"If they are Smart....they probably not be stealing".......deep truths
Ouuch! 😀
I'm here after watching a video said, he was dethroned for speaking the truth. Which kingdom, village or ethnic group could ever think of dethroning an intelligent, well-spoken and germ of a leader. Oh my God, which world are we leaving in? Are people sick in their head? How can you dethrone someone for speaking the truth? They could have been happy for having an amazing and truthful leader like him. With this kind of attitude, what do you want to pass to the next generation? Do you want to pass on truth or lies 😭😭😭😭 God help us in this world with our leaders 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Beauty with Syndy no where in the world but only in Nigeria shame of them
This man is better than being an Emir of Kano state. He is a world leader.
i honestly feel so happy for SLS that he is relieved of his burden as the Emir of Kano. He doesnt belong in the palace, he is a role model, a phenomenal guru, an activist and a lot more.
Is there anybody out there, still doubting the competence of Sanusi as a CBN Governor. This man deserves to be Nigeria's president.
8 years ago and we are still here!!
I think GMB, after his inauguration on May 29, should pull this man out of that Emir seat. He should be on a national stage rather than a City Emir.
Ur thought came through
If this man run for President, I go vote am!
Me too
Olubo Olusanya: well true, but what did he do to financial markets in the West/South. He favoured the North. So I’m a bit sceptical about him, will be nice if he can be honest if he eventually gets there.
Mee toooo
I'm not a Nigerian, neither do I know a thing about Nigerian politic. But I can assert that this man with his courage, humility and intelligence can save Nigeria from the many years of mismanagement if granted political power.
You don't know him, you don't know Nigerian politics, but just hear a speech and that is it for you. This is our problem in Africa unfortunately. Please assess people by their actions (deeds), not what they say.
When I heard the speech yesterday, I wept precisely for my generation: THE INFORMED BUT WILFUL-BLIND, SHAMELESSLY PATHETIC YOUTHS of my time. Keep protecting your 'holy men' and na-my-village-person politicians. The day of reckoning is soon upon us
Your dethronement is a blessing in disguise
I love you with all my heart
We northerners are often labelled by the southerners as illiterates due to the fact that some of us don't speak good English having forgotten that language proficiency doesn't actually determine how well one does in life. Unless we value what is ours i.e our language and stop continuing to quantify intelligence or brilliance based on the ability of one to speak a good English we won't ever appreciate the good minds that our great but battered Nigeria has to offer. When I went to south to serve I was looked down upon at first by my southern fellow corp members for the fact that I'm a northerner and that equates me with an illiterate boko haram. I stood up and addressed the matter maturely clarifying the misconceptions that many had about us and I'm sure many were agaped by just me being able to express myself with poise as if that is much of a big deal. unless we treat one another with respect, ours is the image of shame in the eyes of world.
@@adedapoadedokunsijuwade8314 Islam doesn't brainwash, but it shows the right path. Moron, to know what Islam is all about, find out what it teaches and not what some followers do.
This does not mean we don't have an illiteracy problem in the North. On the other hand, language is a means of communication through which we spread thoughts and perspectives. Hence, English is very important in a multilingual country like Nigeria.
The problem now is boko haram,and terrorist fulani herdsmen.thats the issue you people should adress ,not English problem
@@muhammadsani7732 so many folks with that Religion killing and beheading folks all over the world,not good.
The only prophet of Islam is Muhammad, he shouldn't have killed people for any reason at all. Now Muslims have no way of defending Islam as a peaceful religion as claimed. True Muslims will always follow the examples of the prophet including multiple wives
Where are the youths who used to determine how Nigeria was governed? A very touching and brilliant speech. I do not expect less from an erudite personality like Sanusi. Nigeria wake up!!!
What a great leader with so much wisdom and forethought.
Always appreciat all tribes in Nigeria. This is a fulani man lecturing we Nigerians. Fulanis played a vital role in Nigerian history so nobody can rule them out in Nigeria.
For a man to make a speech like this without any fear, convicting the government, then definitely he must be clean from what he is saying #corruption, if not, his case would have been brought out! You are among the type we need to help grow NIGERIA.
God bless Lamido Sanusi for us, I know if this man give chance to rule us, he may do it right. Though none is perfect but we walk toward it
An excellent speech. I would urge all of us, Nigerian youths to ponder upon this and not only take action, but make also begin to realize it in our hearts that Nigeria is our one and only country. We must learn to live with one another and be patriotic. I pray and hope for a One Nigeria where all of us will refer to ourselves as just Nigerians, not Northerners, Southerners, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo or Muslims/Christians. We must be proud of our country. Violent is not ours.
Are we goin to act on what SLS has said or we will just keep commending the speech...Time is ticking ....
One man with a conscience, sound principles, and empathy for the poor. May God give you strength to get Nigeria out of the rut it is in. I have never heard such an intelligent and humain presentation in a long while by a financial expert. This is most heartening.
Not only does SLS understand the situations of this country but he is also committed to the struggle of this nation. I wish we all can emulate this man and contribute our quota no matter how small.
I really loved this man's speech. He spoke with evidence and spoke the truth. This is what has been affecting Africans for years. Take for instance Developed countries they don't tolerate unlawfulness but Africans overlook the smallest mistake that cost them a lot. Time to change Africa!
I will pass this on to the youth in my church. Topics like this need to be discussed and addressed amongst our youth.
Please do, Thank you for spreading the word to encourage us.
this man is so needed in Africa now than any time before, this is where honesty speaks to power,,
U dont need that throne Sir, u are too educated for that. U speak so properly and intelligently. Ur ppl need to listen to u, pls can i know ur educational background?? I am a fan
Thank you for liking me. Well as for my educational background, I only finished high school. I also hold a masters in economics even though I dropped out of university, but I was still able to hold the position of the CB of Nigeria. Thanks again for showing interest in me. 👍😎
@@theemirofjaffa2266 u dey craze 😂😂
Quite nostalgic, and then the mixture of fortunate and unfortunate things that happen afterward. Welcome back, lad... Let's dive into more adventures!! I believe Sanusi can deliver if granted political power!!!
I like you before but now I love you ,what a brilliant man. Thanks for your effort at cleaning up our banks
Great speech, simply on POINT!
The CBN governor has spoken fearlessly,not minding whose ox is gored. The one good thing I am able to draw from this is that he has got the gut to speak and condemn publicly. How many more in the public service could do like he has done. I envy your courage, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.
It is not enough to watch this video and comment. Share this video also. It's time for the youth to decide what kind of future we would like to live in. I am happy seeing Nigerian youth and intelligent elders discuss issues like this on this platform without being abusive. Thumps up TedxYouth. Viva Naija.
Wao. I have always said there is hope for Nigeria. This talk is an eye opener that nobody is above the law. Let those bad leaders keep doing what they are doing. In no distant future, they will be disgraced. Let's not stop praying for this country and remember, the change starts with US individuals.
It is my hope the younger generation will heed the advice in this video
What a powerful and educative speech. We need more of this. Inspirational
The Painful thing is that Nigerians won't vote for a man like this....just imagine this man making a speech on behalf of Nigeria at the United Nations....our worst hands gets the best of our positions...I respect this Man!
@Dr Silva they might now that he's been deposed.
Wow this is good. so there a tedx event in my country and i did not know about it. wow. i love this man now. i never use to care about what he says cos i am tired of the nonesence leaders we have in this country but this video changed my perception. sound very clear! please when is the next event. Thank you tedxyouth. wow
I keep coming back to this presentation. Nothing much has changed in terms of development of the country but the wisdom shared keeps inspiring me. May God bless HRH SLS. Long may he reign!!!
Amen
Wow, I've always like this guy's speeches. He sounds very intelligent, courageous and passionate about his beliefs. There was a time he cried out that the money Nigeria uses in servicing the government (civil service) is over 75% of her income. How can there be development truly?
What more will Nigeria ask of. Simply convince this man to be President and then get youths working broadly under him, groom them to be ready to take over after him. Youths, he is the only gateway we have to instituting youths into the government and deleting all the old dated greedy men up there. I believe in him. Hausa or not! He seems to be for Nigeria.
Excellent speech. Nigerian Youth need to be awake. .
OGM........... we really need to wake up now.. everybody.. news people, student body, church, everybody, including market women & men. We must all stand up and say NO!!! Enough is enough.
Applauds to Sanusi lamido by sharing this information God Bless You!!!!
Until we youths ready for better nation then we'll support our self
this is so lovely. what a speech....i always want to hear ngozi okonjo-iweala and diss man speak
So simple, very Encouraging...
Here in 2024!
I cry for Nigeria.
He predicted his own future. He was sacked. Great TED talk! As a Nigerian we need more people like him.
***** That is a fantastic idea! You should talk to your bosses about that seriously. TED talks are awesome and I try and watch a few every week.
Very well said Mallam Sanusi. I always appreciate facts and not mere speculations.
May God continue to Empower, protect you and your family. Is not easy to see people like in Naija to come out to reveal terrible issues that face our nation for fear of being killed.
What a formidable speech!
Very well spoken, why are you not becoming a president in Nigeria
we need more of your likes sir.
How I wish I had the power,l will make sure you get there. Because you deserve it...
This guy is good, brilliant and eloquent.
Great speech. I am so happy we are staying to talk about this in public events
An orator
We need more of this to propel us to action. Well said SLS. You are a blessing to Nigeria ....
SLS is very brilliant mind❤
THANK YOU MY EX KING YOU ARE RIGHT THAT IS WHY DELE MOMODU WE CHANG NIGERIA FOR GOOD GOD BLESS NIGERIA DANGOTA REFINARY IS COMING NOW GOD BLESS
Catastrophobia - People are afraid that something terrible, something catastrophic will happen to them and/or their families if they stand up against the thieves and looters. There is this prevailing negative energy of #fear, of #catastrophy .... WE HAVE TO OVERCOME THAT! We need faith, boldness and intelligence...
Very profound and brilliant my Brother! If we can take on literaly, like what JF Keñnedy says -that Its not what can my Country do for me, but rather what can I do for my Country. Unify effort, Love and collaboration is needed. Something to think about. God bless you and our Nation Nigeria. Peace and Love
Well articulated, Mr. Lamido...so how do we begin?!
Here is the type of intelligence and moral fiber that we need in the Presidency. We must all encourage and support Fashola or SLS for Presidency.
This is a very sound presentation , that needs to be taken seriously to heart and get involved in the CRUSADE🙏🙏May GOD help Nigeria 🙏🙏
Great speech or presentation. This guy is very brilliant and in my opinion very honest. I don't know whether it is really serving Nigeria any good purpose at having this guy at the emirate than serving the national interest. Very powerful.
Great and long life to Sanusi
Flames 💯
wow!
Wordup !!!
i also bookmarked this speech,,,,once again its thought provoking and wonderful
the man talk true sha; but if you ask me, na who I go ask? hmmm! God Bless Nigeria
Yes oooooo
Brilliant speech by Mallam Lamido Sanusi.
Well said....
Well said......
Interesting....
The best president for Nigeria
wonderful
nice speech
Impressive!
Awesome...
Wow , You Nigerians are so lucky to have a guy like Sanusi , great speech he is my hero
very inteligent,indeed knowledge is power!!
Powerful speech by a fearless Executive of a Nigerian Enterprise. We need more outspoken CEO's like him to rid the cancer that has bedeviled our country.
Excellent..
excellent
Well spoken and articulated. The only way to resist the vested Interest is by resisting organized religion and this can be done by not funding it. If they don't have money, they don't have power. Nigerian youths should be wise, organized religion is total enslavement of the mind and spirit, you don't need to be part of an organized body of religion to be spirituality fulfilled. Imagine a scenario in which you attend the same religious gathering with the bank CEO whose bank where you have saved all your hard earned money. The Bank CEO defrauds the banks and the head of your religious gathering intervenes so that he does not go to jail and he does not repay what he has stolen. Who will intervene on your behalf? Be wise.
Amazing, Indeed.
I wish all youth of our Nation Nigeria listen to this powerful message and lets make the change togetherness
Salute Sir
Very interesting ideas
Thought provoking
G00d man yes
Deep talks!!!!!!!
Very thought provoking!
Apt, incisive and simply right on!
Well said SLS.
