Quranic Proficiency Suggests Northern Kids Are Intelligent: Peter Obi by bookson(m): 9:45pm On Dec 04, 2022
Labour Party’s presidential candidate Peter Obi has said he would exploit the quranic proficiency of northern Nigerian schoolchildren to give them a career pathway built on skills.
At a televised dialogue underway on Arise TV, Mr Obi said northern children’s ability to master the Islamic holy book indicated they would be able to master skills to hike out of poverty.

“If they can learn Quran, it means they are intelligent,” Mr Obi, a former governor of Anambra, said as part of a broad response on tackling education. “I will meet them where they are learning Quran” and let them know they can have skills.

“What we need to do, other than increased investment in education, is also to have increased inspection across state and local government,” Mr Obi said.

Education in northern Nigeria has lagged behind the rest of the country for decades, with a substantial majority of the country’s out-of-school children being from the region, per UNICEF estimates.

Mr Obi has repeatedly suggested that education in Nigeria could play a major role in piloting the country out of endemic poverty and deprivation. If elected at the upcoming presidential election, he said he would earmark 10 percent of federal budgetary provisions to education, a feat never before achieved in the country’s 62 years of self-government.

If they can master the Quran it means they are intelligent! Can you believe this coming out of a presidential candidate?
Quran or no Quran what makes you think they are different from their counterparts from anywhere in the world?
Do you think intelligence is shared geographically?

What is the correlation? Why must their ability to learn the Quran even come up. Isn't it a common knowledge by now that the reason the north is lagging behind is because of lack of adequate funding for education?

Do you know the problem with people like you, you are the most affected by bad governance, but you arrogantly and proudly continue to wallow in suffering while you support those who put you in such condition.

Peter Obi won't stop been a billionaire even if he loses, but you will still be begging for WiFi to come online and be backing your oppressors.

Some of you Babablu Bluublu bulabu supporters don't know when to stop. You just embarrassed yourself.

Here is a study that suggests that recitation, memorization can improve IQ.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9470760/


Results: The findings revealed that listening to, reciting or memorizing the Quran had a favorable effect on depression, anxiety, physiologic parameters, quality of life, quality of sleep and intelligence quotient.


Learn to hush next time. This is not Babablu Bluublu bulabu discussion.

You jump into any thread where Obi's name is mentioned to comment by pretending to sound intelligent but end up showing that you lack content. Your intellectually dumb posts are mostly ethno-emotionally pedaled for any discerning mind to notice. Please focus on laundering the image of your mentor instead of posting senseless comments on PO's issues.

Obi is running to become the president of Nigeria and I am a Nigerian. I have every right to jump on any thread where Obi's name is mentioned. If he doesn't like it he can withdraw from the race. If I mention his name afterwards then you can accuse me of anything you want.

It is an insult, think about it. It is a dumb thing to say. By the way, there are academics from the north and some of them studied the Quran at some point.

Imbecilee, lack of education in the north has little or nothing to do with funding… it’s about willingness, value, commitment… if they can learn the Quran they can learn a skill comfortably… they should prioritize basic education and not Islamic schools…Jonathan built and funded some schools in the north, go to the schools today they’re all closed and poorly maintained….

And nothing about their ability to learn. Zombidient, we are saying the same thing except that your candidate have to look at their ability to learn the Quran to know that northern kids are just as intelligent as any other on the planet!

No, the only dumb person I see here is you. You're either too dumb to understand the context of what Mr. Obi said, or you're being deliberately mischievous. And, the north is not educationally backward because of funds' paucity. The north has stolen any and everything that is not bolted down in Nigeria today.

They are backward because they bucked the education tide. Even Saudi Arabia is doing everything to latch on to western education, while your backward-thinking imams think the world's knowledge fits on a single slate.
