Well, those two pictures speak for themselves. The former was taken in Sokoto while the latter was probably taken in the east. I have collections of those old pictures

Basically, what the British wanted was to to install elitist northern oligarchs as a conduit for further exploitation of Africa. So, as you can see, education was improved in that part of the country neglecting other region. And, you may ask; why?. The answer is because, of all ethnic groups in Nigeria they found the north ''submissive and easy to control''. However, generally, the British, French and all other colonial forces weren't interested in education in Africa. All they wanted was to teach their languages in schools and make it a core part of our curriculum. This way we will perpetually be their colonies and under their intellectual control. This explains why we have English and French as compulsory subject all over African schools, even at the detriment of our native languages.

The only thing whiteman is happy about is a foolish African. If you come across an an intelligent African you're a bad meat to them.

This explains why we have English and French as compulsory subjects all over African schools, even at the detriment of our native languages.

What is very shocking is that after 400 years of slavery and 50 years of colonialism, African governments and the entire African people have not realized the damaging effect of neglect of our native languages in school. Instead of requiring ''credit'' in our native languages, we keep doing the bidding of our oppressors by placing priority in English and French in our schools. Something Asian countries realized was a mistake and corrected same in the 80's. And since they did that development came their way.

The only thing whiteman is happy about is a foolish African, so they enjoy the status quo. If you come across as an intelligent African you're a bad meat to them.
