It is indeed the best time to be a Nigerian Arsenal fan– in nine years at least. Not only did the club end its trophy drought which stretched back to 2005 with an FA Cup triumph against Hull City on May 17, 2014 Gunners in Nigeria may have a kindred spirit in the new Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.
A picture posted on Twitter on shows the former Central Bank of Nigeria governor kitted in an Arsenal cap and scarf. We do not know how fanatical his support for the club is but if his passion for the other things he cherishes is anything to go by, the North London outfit must have a die-hard fan in the new emir.
