Prince, we are not talking about Bauchi broadcasting service or Gombe radio here.
We are talking about well tailored easy to digest info coming from the stables of VOA, BBC and other international radio stations of which the OP claimed an average illiterate Hausa listens to on a regular basis more than the local radio stations.

Now, are you saying that the same illiterate Housa man is fast to receive and digest info calling for a fight against infidels from a local radio station he barely listens to, than receiving and digesting info from several international radio stations he enjoys listening to several times in a day? Even when the mode of communication is the same?
Am getting more confused.

Dream chaser:

True, I have quite a number of hausa/muslim friends and right now I'm embarrased and ashamed to be their friends. Its unfortunate, the way your ppl behave/reason even the so called educated ones.

doctorT:

I think everything is majorly due to ignorance. The education level in the North is somehow low compared to the South and I majorly blame their leaders for it.

niyimat:

I live in the north, @work yesterday was a classic memory on how the hausas think during times like this. They think only in one direction no difference Whether educated or not, they seem to have only one source of information. And never border weather such channels of informations are genuine or not. At the end they feel very cheated and mobilization for any violent are made easier. I think adopting the diligence spirit is an antidote to violence, scrutinizing and querying information sources is also a better alternative to just listening to rumors.

@ nsnfaz
If you look at the post I said "at times" am proud to be a hausaman at least my state jigawa is the peaceful in Nigeria. But for the record I rather be yoruba than be an iboman. I respect the yoruba tribe and I feel they are the most advance and civilized tribe in sub Sahara Africa.

Wait . . . how come @nuzo gets exactly what I am asking and probably even knows where this is getting to but everyone else here seems to be having a duck-dodger moment ALL THE TIME?? ROFLMAO!!

ocman:

we will reply the north soon. we are meeting. we will tell you guys that no one in this country has the monoploy of violence, mend.

Princek12:

So what exactly is your point? That education is not necessary? That the "information" you get on radio is sufficient to replace a good basic education, starting from youth, not the Almajiri education in which only the Quran is taught? Clarify.
Nuzo probably understands you better because you guys hail from the same area, and understand the almajiri education system better than we do?

Kobojunkie:

Why blame the leaders, when some purport that the average uneducated Hausa individual has access to a form of education 3 times a day? We are talking international channels, as claimed, tailored and targeted at them 3 times a day.

Basseti:

Because u are stubbornly making the same assumption that the ability to process information is the same as the ability to recieve information.

Mr A and Mr B can recieve the same amount of information. How they process that information is left entirely up to them. Thats part of the reason why U have someone graduating with a 1st class and another fellow struggling to get a 3rd class even tho they attended the same lectures.

Take the birther issue for an example. People already believe what they believe. No amount of information will make them change thier mind. They get other news feed but they try and find loopholes in them and also look UP TO the proponents of the birther controversy to put a spin on what the other news outlets are saying.

Princek12:

Thank you oo my brother. I have tried to explain this simple concept to Kobojunkie, and he does not get it. Kobojunkie thinks receiving and processing the information is the same. Maybe that explains why he cannot process what we said.

Kobojunkie:

um . . . there is actually no point being made. I am simply trying to have a discussion with the Hausa brothers. The reason @Nuzo understands me is he is, unlike you, read my post AS IS. He did not come at this with some preconceived notion of my intention as many seem to have so far. He is not introducing any of HIS own brand of, for lack of a better word, DELUSIONS into my posts but simply reading it AS IS.  For pete's sake I write like a primary school child so I wonder why anyone would have a hard time with what I type.

Note: You are the one injecting Almajiri education, Quran and all that  else into this. I have NOWHERE even mentioned any of those or that I am concerned about them in anyway.

Please stop with the bigotted retorts already. What has @nuzo and I to do with almajiri now?   There is nothing ethnic or hidden going on here. It is all in plain English Language for anyone to read and understand. And it is always best to ask questions rather than jump to conclude a person has a hidden agenda. I am trying to break down claims made so they can make more sense, nothing else. From post one, all I have done is try to ask questions of the @Op to get his view on issues. . . . it is really just that and nothing else.

Kobojunkie:

Correction -- NO, I DO NOT THINK LIKE THAT AT ALL. I have NOWHERE in my posts STATED that I THINK THAT WAY. not a single place in my post can you even pull that one out without needing to twist what I say to make that happen!
BECAUSE you think that I think that way DOES NOT make you right!! Stop trying desperately to pass your delusions off to me. Please LEARN TO TAKE CORRECTION or MOVE ON!!

Me_Aboki

Who do you think you are deceiving? The North has made this a religious issue, and you are speaking to someone who has traveled to the North many times. The North is feeling threatened about the power shift to the south, and they don't like it.

Prior to the election, the mosques in the North were even handing pamphlets saying that Muslims should not vote for Jonathan because he is a Christian, and that no Muslim should ever vote for a Christian.

Illiteracy has many definitions, one of which is a person who has not achieved a basic education, which in Nigeria is graduating from secondary school and obtaining your SSCE or its equivalent.  


If this was not about religion, why did the almajiris in the North even burn churches at all? Why didn't they direct their attacks at only PDP installations, regardless of whether the attacks on PDP predominated over the attacks on churches. Why even burn one single church?

This is not business as usual. And a free and fair election will show whether the North and South can co-exist. We are tired of Northerners who have messed up our country for 38 years out of 50 years. You tell me, what have your Northern brethren achieved for Nigeria by ruling us for 38/50 years? Uhn!

HARDDON:

You shouldnt feel ashamed to be an hausa man. you should rada regret being among a religion that helps its gods out in wars. is your god so helpless that you fight his battles for him? wonda why islam is all about brutal killings and unholy blood sheds. wonda why u just cant let the INFIDEL Christians Lord it over u for once having piloted this country's course downhill for more that 30years; does the north have no shame? your abilities lies with SHANU, Fura de Nono, recitals of your rubbish SURAH and not in the corridors of power.

ISLAM GOATS!

My GOD! your head must be full of shit instead of brains.

13volts:

Why can't we let go without these violence.
Why can't we be like other Muslims.
Our Muslim brothers in northern Ghana, Cameroon and other African state.
I thank god this is the last time buhari will ever present himself for election. With is retirement no any other northern politician from the north will generate such emotion and crowd.
I also thank god most of the victims were pdp barons, who are also part of the problem.

Note. I may regret my tribe but not my religion which shud be dis associated with this mayhem.
