It has been said and proven that even if Nigeria as a nation was to develop today, its development would still had been affected primarily because of the northern part of the country and their archaic ways of living.
Their ways of living is too extreme in the north as the poor are always very poor and the rich are always very rich; hence, the people living in the average earning group/bracket are the lowest. If you reside in the north or you've been to the north previously, you'll realize that the Al Majiri's are so much, hardly can you judge the cause of their predicament.
Al Majiri's have now constituted a lot of nuisance (not that it's on purpose, but because of their predicament) to the society. They don't know how to read, write, and they are not willing to learn any trade; making them a big liability to the society. No wonder the society itself hire them for work and pay them peanuts in return; and they celebrate that person like a God.
For the purpose of this debate/article, we want to believe the federal govt knows about all these, and must be having more than one way of solving their problems before they become a bigger burden to the society. They are now in their millions, having a chunk of the population in all northern states; which will have a bigger effect on the society at large and its development.
Although we have heard about the Al Majiri School that they are proposing, but will that alone solve their problems? And if not, what other ways can the govt and the society at large find a long lasting solution to these set of people?
Togetherness is the word if we want to ensure that Nigeria moves on to the next level in development.
UNITED WE STAND...
