Muhammadu Sanusi II, the 14th Emir of Kano, says greed, selfishness and envy are “much greater sins” than unlawful sex, homosexuality and gambling.

Naijablitznews reports Sanusi spoke on Sunday as a guest lecturer during a virtual Ramadan lecture titled “Some dimensions of the concept of ibadah”.

The former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) said part of the reason there is a social disorder in the country is that some Muslims forget that they will give an account of their actions before God.

He said people observe prayers and fast but keep committing evil “because our hearts are not Islamic”.

Sanusi alleged that a governor of a Sharia-implementing state in Nigeria stole funds and bought a hotel in Lagos.

While he did not mention the name of the governor, Sanusi said his state remained a “most serious example of backwardness”.

“How do you get a Muslim to become a minister or governor and all he is thinking of is how he is going to steal public funds to build a big house for himself or have billions for his children and deny people?

“We even have had state governors who said they were practising sharia, they were leading the implementation of sharia and they were stealing money and buying hotels.

“There was a governor implementing sharia in a sharia state who stole public funds and bought a hotel in Lagos. And he says Allahu Akbar.

“Meanwhile, his state was left with no education, with no health care, with one of the most serious cases of security, most serious examples of backwardness.

“Greed, selfishness, wickedness, envy. These are much greater sins than zina (illegal sexual intercourse), homosexuality, and gambling. The sins of the heart are greater than the sins of the body. We are focused so much on the external things.

“The purity of our hearts, the love for humanity, the fear of Allah, the knowledge that we are accountable to Allah, all of that is missing.

Sanusi also said the misinterpretation of some teachings of Islam “has been the cause of some of the problems that we are facing today”.

He encouraged Muslims to serve as examples for those in the coming centuries to look up to.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to step down as early as Monday.

Following reports, the Globe and Mail broke the story first on Sunday night, citing three sources.

It is unclear when Trudeau will step down, but it is anticipated to happen before a national caucus meeting on Wednesday.

Trudeau’s popularity is expected to decline in Canada as a result of a number of issues, including a housing crisis, a declining per-capita GDP, and high inflation.

As of December 24, his disapproval rate was approximately 68%, with only 28% of Canadians supporting him.

The club is exploring creative strategies to bring the Nigerian who’s on a season-long loan to Galatasaray from Napoli, to Old Trafford, which may include player exchanges to help offset costs.

According to Calciomercato journalist Daniele Longo, United’s recruitment team is working on a plan to negotiate a deal with Napoli that would allow them to pay less than Osimhen’s £62 million release clause.

This approach shows the club’s serious intent to strengthen their attacking options under new manager Ruben Amorim.

In a decisive move, United is reportedly considering the sale of Joshua Zirkzee to facilitate the transfer.

The Dutch striker, who has struggled to make an impact since his arrival last summer, could be used to raise funds and reduce the overall cost of the deal

However, Manchester United faces stiff competition for Osimhen’s signature, as Paris Saint-Germain has also expressed interest, adding urgency to United’s negotiations.

The interest from the French giants could potentially drive up Osimhen’s price and complicate United’s plans.

Currently on loan at Galatasaray, Osimhen has been in impressive form this season, scoring 12 goals in 15 competitive appearances.

His potential arrival at Old Trafford could provide the firepower that United desperately needs to climb up the Premier League table.
