Being literate is not the issue. Being educated is.

But the pictures do not negate the fact cos there's nothing bewildering in them.

They always take us to stone age yet they lead us........ irony

What are you saying? Being literate is being able to read. Anyone can read. What matters is the ability to understand and apply knowledge. If the Northerners were educated they would know that having Sharia Courts, Suicidal tendencies, female genital mutilation, preventing kids from going to school etc are terrible ideas and should not be encouraged. But no, despite being able to read and write they fail to be educated.

And what?...are they not free to learn whatever want?...must everybody go to school before?...

NOT ALL NORTHERNERS ARE MUSLIMS PLEASE, I am a Northerner and i detest those practices you mentioned.

This's a clear evidence that we were schooled and had our own system of education even before our unfortunate contact with Europe. Yet, you'll see fools everywhere, including on this forum arguing that white man brought us everything.

As a matter of fact, colonial powers discouraged mass education in Africa cause they knew it will quicken our independence. The emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi do have a documented prove of the British preventing mass education in Nigeria. Colonialists only wanted education for a few princes who will act as a conduit for further exploitation of Africa and it's resources.

so where is the queen and where is the surprise?

Nairalanders hehe

copying verses repeatedly from the quran is not education / it is age old indoctrination and it is still in practice today / case in point - almajiri.

That up there is the beginning of the scam called Nigeria.

I guess she decided to hand over the country to the northerners after witnessing d above facade.

aw does writing in Arabic relate to being literate,Aboki shoe maker nor sabi read Arabic

And your point is?


What are we to do with the mindless literacy they possess? Which so happens to be quite useless in the advancing technological world?

Forget then. Focus on now.

OP, we are talking of having COMMON SENSE.

How are you literates when you a Northerner can't even spell "ILLITERATE" and "LITERATE",I see the reason why queen Elizabeth called you illiterates. the baby of the house of my family who's in primary 4 can't even make such mistake because he's "LITERATE"

No myn dem. Na desperation to feel relevant.

Most of what we now call western education were also taught through the Arabic language then, since we only consider education through the English language as the only form of western education, mind you, the crusaders that first went to the Arab world also learnt a lot from the Arabs.
I am 100% sure that most you don't know that what you know as surgery today all started from the Arab world and the tools used in this field today were all modification if the ones the westerners copied from the Arab world.

PMB sure_p graduates are not smiling for months now. Please pray us our stipend.

Dude, just don't. You can tell those who know nothing about the history of civilization that the Arab world did or had stuff like that. But those of us who read our history know that the Sumerians invented writing, Surgery was practiced in Egypt long before the Arabs became a people and no, the original Egyptians, the ones who discovered Irrigation and Pyramid building were not Arabs. The only thing new that the Arabs gave us was Algebra. And even that is just a part of Mathematics invented by others.

and even that algebra, is the brain child of a single Arabian genius. Not the entire people.
