Why Do Northerners Have More Disabled People In Nigeria? by fellowf(m): 8:57pm On May 31, 2017 |
OK guys, this is an honest question.. sometimes I wonder if I am the only person that has thought and worried about this a lot of the time.. We all agree that while there are beggars from every tribe, the Hausa's are leading with a great margin.. but that's not my worry now.. my concern is that about 70% of them are disabled.. some with unbelievable deformities. a large number of them are crippled in the legs or have deformed hands.. how? is it a genetic thing for them? were they born that way? or they became crippled after birth? what could be the cause? I can't stop wondering.. every morning on the way to work I can hardly ignore the number of crippled Hausa beggars along the busstop. what spurred this post was what I saw last Friday on the road beside the Ikeja city mall. I saw two young kids (boys). I swear they can't be more than 5years of age. one was crippled and sat on a kind of small flat wood with tiny tyres beneath as a means of moving about. the other was not crippled but then his right fingers were missing (from the wrist) with no visible wound or even an healed one. they were looking totally content with begging, no parent or anybody I could see around them. below 5years! left alone to fend for themselves!! just how do they get these deformities? why just the Hausa folks alone? how? why? matured comments please... and let's not be tribalistic too.. 1 Like |

Polio is endemic in d region and its even made worse by their refusal to get immunized/vaccinated as a result of misinformation by their religious leaders most especially... They make dem believe immunization/vaccination is evil and haram. I remember how some of dem had to b bribed with provisions first before dey allow health workers immunize/vaccinate their children during my service year in Jigawa. 15 Likes |

its because they are illiterate and refused to take anti polio drugs thinking Christians want to use it and reduce their useless population, everything boiled down to illiteracy 21 Likes |

Good question. It is caused by inbreeding as encouraged by Islam. Inbreeding leads to genetic defects and DNA mutations. It also leads to mental retardation, that is why a lot of them are borderline retar.ded and don't even do well in academics. Anyone saying it is caused by harsh weather knows not what they're saying. Read more about inbreeding to know its dangers. 11 Likes |

fellowf: Possible due to bad genes passed on over generations due to inbreeding ; they marry first cousins however this only contributes a small percentage. Major reason is illiteracy. More should be done to enlighten them on the benefits of having their kids vaccinated against polio. 3 Likes |

Kondomatic: Trust me those ppl in centuries behind.. U had to offer provisions for each child u want to immunize else dey won't let u.. I remember some of their Muslim scholars recently claiming immunization was a form of birth control measure by d West.. U can imagine such preposterous claims.. If u visit their general hospitals u'll see worse... 3 Likes |

I think it's more of a Curse and Fate promoted by culture ...!! Igala folks would tell u one Ata-Igala dropped the Curse on Sardauna and his people. Even within the North region, it's the HausaFulaniKanuris-Muslims that fit the OP narrative. 1 Like |
