The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has
stated that he may soon propose a law, which
would stop poor men in the emirate from
marrying more than one wife.
Sanusi made this disclosure in Abuja on
Sunday at the 50th anniversary of the death
of Ambasador Isa Wali, a former Nigerian
High Commissioner to Ghana.
Walei died on active duty on February 19,
1967.
According to the royal father, he had been
able to establish a connection between
polygamy, poverty and terrorism.
Sanusi said he would ensure that the law
would be passed by the Kano State
Government as a way of immortalising the
late Wali who was one of the first northern
elements to advocate gender equality.
He said, “Those of us in the North have all
seen the economic consequences of men who
are not capable of maintaining one wife,
marrying four. They end up producing 20
children, not educating them, leaving them on
the streets, and they end up as thugs and
terrorists.
[u]OUR UNRELIABLE APROKO reports a source
close to the Emir said that another reason
why the Emir is proposing the law is because
most poor men have turned to having so
many children as lottery, if they give birth to 8
at least one of them will make it[/u]
