**Muhammadu Sanusi II: My Journey of Resilience and Faith** Former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has shared his inspiring story of resilience and faith in the face of adversity. At the Fola Adeola Annual Ramadan Lecture, he spoke about how his conviction in God helped him navigate through difficult times, including his suspension as CBN governor and his later removal as Emir of Kano. Sanusi emphasized the importance of recognizing that circumstances change only by the will of God, rather than attributing power and outcomes to individuals. He encouraged Nigerians to remember that situations are not permanent and that Allah can change their circumstances, helping them cope and conduct themselves. Drawing from his personal experience, Sanusi shared his story of how his fortunes changed rapidly. He was suspended as CBN governor, but three months later, he became the Emir of Kano. Similarly, he was removed as Emir, but four years later, he returned to his throne. His journey demonstrates how quickly fortunes can change, and he advised Nigerians not to panic when faced with challenges. Sanusi also cautioned against humiliating oneself in pursuit of favour from powerful individuals. He noted that many people wrongly believe their fortunes depend entirely on others, leading them to beg, cringe, and bow to human beings. However, Sanusi's experience shows that true power and security come from within, and Nigerians should focus on building their inner strength and resilience. During his time away from Kano, Sanusi had the opportunity to pursue academic work, which he believes has been a blessing in disguise. He reflected on how things could have been different if he was in Kano in the last four years, but his removal allowed him to avoid situations that might have been humiliating. Sanusi's story is a testament to the power of faith and resilience in the face of adversity. His message to Nigerians is to hold on to God and not panic, no matter what challenges they may face. As Sanusi said, "You don't panic," and instead, focus on building your inner strength and trusting in the will of God.
