A renowned Kannywood movie producer and director, Falalu Dorayi, has
expressed reservations over the conferment of chieftaincy title of
‘’Sarkin waka’’ on southern musician Korede Bello by the Kano state
emirate council.
Korede was conferred with the title in
recognition to his contribution to the society through music. Dorayi who
took to his IG page to express his opinion about the development said
there are many indigenous Hausa singers in Kano who deserve the title
instead. He described the action of the emirate 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.
He said though the award of the title has not been made official, ‘’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.
All sleepless nights our musicians have been having to bring our traditional leaders and northern politicians to the limelight all they get in return was to have the title shipped to Lagos’’ he lamented.
Speaking
further in a telephone chat with DailyTrust, Dorayi noted that since
the current emir of Kano Mohammad Sanusi II ascended throne, Nazir Ahmad
has never ceased from praising him in his songs and thus deserved the
title.
‘’In fact, before Sanusi became the emir of Kano, Nazir had envisaged and fore told 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’’ he added.
