Why not use the money on schools or development of your state

Take a look of Jigawa schools in your state.

Misplaced priority

Empower people

Among the five pillars it's not compulsory

Jigawa state has no direction. Last year the went out there way to approve money for construction of 90 mosques.

Oh gush !!!

Northern elites have used religion to enslave their youths and found it difficult to introduce them to western education which their biological children enjoys in best schools abroad

later the teaming youths that have rendered unemployable will be recruited by boko haram with the promise of #200 to cause havoc

Northerners pls empower your youths economically and terrorism will reduce to barest minimum


anyway, in as much as boko haram restrict their operations within your territories why should I border my self...lolz what am I even saying self
