INSECURITY: NORTHERN LEADERS INCLUDING THEIR RELIGIOUS LEADERS INSTITUTIONALIZED POVERTY AND ILLITERACY. IT FAILED THEM AFTERWARDS

I remember many years ago 2005, in an AIT early morning program (KAKAKI) on politics, the political analyst on the show while answering a question on a list released by the Bureau of Statistics and world bank about the poverty and unemployment level of the country, He said in quote "the situation of the country is time bomb. Soon, there will be high level of insecurities that successive governments will find difficult to tame if nothing is done about it". Many years after he and many who warned the country about this, the country has been riddled with insecurities from all front.

This has been aided largely by the northern government. There is no doubt that large number of idled people in poverty line is an inevitable danger to any country. The northern leaders look like they are more motivated to impoverish their clan than educating them. They encourage polygamy even when it is certain that resources to carter for such is very slim. Hence many of the produce of such marriages are exposed to certain ways of life.

The major reason why terrorism especially will be difficult to end in the north is poverty and illiteracy. These has made young persons in the region to be easily recruited into terrorist groups. Let us not forget that this has nothing to do with their religion. Saudi Arabia for example is the headquarters of muslims. Yet they don't allow their population to grow beyond their means. Nigeria population is growing in Geometric progression. As at 2015, our population was 195million, but today our population is over 2015million. Compare to same Saudi Arabia that their population in 2015 was 31 million but is now 34million in 2022. Over 65% of the increase in our population since 7years is from northern Nigeria. Most out of school children are from the northern part of the country, most unemployed, unskilled are from the northern parts.

Terrorism may not end through the guns alone. Terrorism can only end through looking inward to eradicate poverty and educate the younger generation of the northern youths. Just like infrastructure drives every economy, poverty and illiteracy drives insecurity. The north need to go on a soul searching. Wether you like it or not, your population is too much for the little resources available to Nigeria hence your youths will be easily poached by terrorist group.

It is sickening. The north is paying the price of long term mistakes. There only advantage of large population is during election. The rest, they fall short. They must do the right things now.
