Sparks continue to fly over Korede Bello’s recently acquired chieftaincy title with several Nigerians sharing their views concerning the bestowed title of “Sarkin waka”.
Korede Bello was honored with this title based on his contribution to the society through his music.
Kannywood movie producer and director, Falau Dorayi, has taken to his Instagram page to voice his opinion about the chieftaincy title conferred on Bello by the Kano State Emirate Council.
Dorayi said there are several northern singers who should have gotten the title ahead of Korede Bello.
He described the action of the council as demoralizing to northern youth emphasizing that “no matter how bad indigenous Hausa singers are, it is not fair to cross over to Lagos to pick Sarkin wakan Kano.”
According to Dorayi, the title is yet to be made official, still “It is not surprising because northern elites have been like that, they look for us only when they are in need afterwards they short change us for Lagos chaps.”
He said “All the sleepless nights our musicians have been having to help bring our traditional leaders and northern politicians to the limelight all they get in return was to have the title shipped to Lagos.”
He further said in a telephone interview with DailyTrust:
“In fact, before Sanusi became the Emir of Kano, Nazir had envisaged and foretold in his songs of Sanusi becoming Sarkin Kano and it came to pass.
I am of the opinion that if justice should be done none deserves this title but Nazir Ahmad”
