“An Educated person is easier to reason with, harder to control”- Source(?)


The insurgency in the North east cannot be easily wished away. The name Boko Haram [Boko- Book, Haram- Bad or evil] simply entails that education or book is evil, bad or haram.

In the North indices of education is at the lowest ebb in Nigeria. Close to 80% or more of women are uneducated or stark illiterates. In the case of those who are educated, the use of English is impeded and availability of literature in Hausa or Arabic is low. This explains why women form the bulk of suicide bombers.

Women are naturally subservient and this is exaggerated when she is uneducated or exposed. The ease at which a woman can be ordered to wear a vest by her husband and to detonate such in the market square or mosque is all too easy when she is illiterate or unexposed. Compared with their southern counterparts who cannot be ordered around, destruction of lives and property is all too easy by these willing tools.

In the case of the males, education is received from Islamic or koranic schools where they are taught by radical teachers. From such young age they are radicalized and fed distorted truths of Islam.
This entire scenario is worsened by Northern politician’s attitude toward building and equipping schools and other educational institutions. The state of most Northern primary and secondary schools are either run-down structures or with few teachers. The reason for the alleged non-investment in schools is usually due to their desire to control their populace as the beginning quote emphasizes.

The story of a Northern Governor’s home school being run-down and an eye sore shows the level or commitment and priority given to education. The Jigawa state Government’s building of over 100 mosques in a state that is in need of schools speaks volumes of the mindset of the average Northern politician. These have to change else the ideological war against book Haram would never be won.

The north is more literate than any part of nigeria

Hopefully northern development fund goes with stipulations for jobs and literacy programs. Handing out free money returns people to status quo.
