The #India of Gandhi invested heavily on quality Education and this is the result of that investment. Conversely, the ruling elites of Northern Nigeria after Sardauna refused to invest in Education and what we have today is the murderous armed banditry in the North.

As I write ✍️ there are tens of thousands of uneducated Teenagers with guns in the forest of Northern Nigeria looking for people to kidnap for ransom payment and women and girls to rape. These children of the poor should be in Schools for God sake!

I recently wrote on the U. K. Academy for Orphaned Children of the #BokoHaram insurgency in Sokoto State built by Alhaji Umarun Kwabo (Jarman Sokoto). I am in love with that School. All the 19 States of Northern Nigeria should have at least one of such School.

The PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar should have built such School in Adamawa State instead of the expensive University he built for Children of the rich. The APC presidential candidate Bola Tinubu has never invested anything on Education despite his vast looted wealth.

The present Senate President @DrAhmadLawan who has been in the National Assembly for the past 20 years should build such School in Yobe State. Yobe State has more than 500,000 Out-of-school Children and thousands of Orphaned Children of the BokoHaram insurgency. Senator Kwankwaso has done well on Education in Kano State but he can do more. Zamfara State is the most ravaged State of armed banditry in Nigeria. A damaged State notorious for extremely corrupt leaders. Borno State is the epicenter of the BokoHaram insurgency. That State need at least 6 U. K. Academy-like Schools. Yes 6, 2 each in the Senatorial Zones.

Northern States like Niger, Kwara and Nassarawa are trying educationally but they are yet to catch up with the Southern States. It is important to note that Education don't fall from the sky or result from praying to God, huge investments is what is needed for quality Education in the North. We need more Schools and classrooms in the North. Thousands of them!

On a final note, Northern Nigeria is the most backward region Educationally in the whole world with more than 10 million Out-of-school Children, the highest in the world. We can not continue like this.
