On Sudan, and why (Northern) Nigerians study/travel there—a response to some of the condescending, sensationalising and unmistakably prejudiced hot takes trending:

1. Sudan isn’t the collapsible banana republic you assumed it is. It’s not just what you see on CNN. It’s had over a century of health professions education, long before Nigeria had its first medical school, and they have an evolved medical education system that attracts undergraduate and postgraduate medical students from across the world. They had had a university for more than half a century before Nigeria had one.

2. Northern Nigeria and Sudan haven’t only had historical interactions and cultural similarities, but Sudanese tertiary institutions also offer superior specialised training in various fields of Islamic studies. For instance, Nigeria’s former CBN Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, obtained a master’s degree in Islamic Jurisprudence at a Sudanese university in the 90s—and he’s one of the smartest public servants Nigeria has ever had. This Sudanese education you’ve portrayed with contempt guided him in reforming Islamic banking in Nigeria during his stewardship at the apex bank.

3. If your aim was to treat Sudan as a hub of substandard education in a country that rushes to French-speaking Cotonou for months-long bachelor’s degrees, that argument won’t hold water. Your stereotypical point about Sudan being a breeding ground of religious extremism is also your consumption of the wrong news channels. The last time I checked, some of the most notorious international terrorists we’ve seen were radicalised in the West, including Nigerian-born Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who’s studying at UCL when he fell apart.

4. A few months ago, Nigerian students were rescued from Ukraine, a European country, and we didn’t see these epistles about the whys of their choices of unstable and war-prone countries to study. FYI, Ukraine is a third-world country of blue-eyed, blonde-haired people. Or is your outrage because Sudan is an African or Muslim country?

5. Even as I wrote this, there were still Nigerians from all parts of the country studying in the war-torn Ukraine and Russia, two countries locked in the deadliest war in the world right now. Why aren’t you alarmed by the presence of Nigerians in Ukraine, a country that has been at war for decades? I know this because I have friends still studying there. So, let me ask you exactly what you asked northerners: “What kind of people are these people?”

6. You know quite well the reason Nigerians rush to study abroad—this fear of studying a 5-year programme for about a decade. Ironically, Sudan, for the Nigerians there, isn’t just for the affordability of the schools—a lot of our students in Sudan are from comfortable middle-class families that pay huge sums in tuition and other fees to give their children decent education at private institutions in a culturally familiar foreign country close to their home.

7. And, yes, this environment matters to some. The alienation of adapting to a new environment isn’t an easy cultural dislocation for some, and Sudan offers these northern Muslim students that avenue to study without the culture shocks or civilisational crisis, which even cosmopolitan black students experience in the West.

8. I think some of you should take your time and read up on Sudan. If you can’t write Ukraine off as just a place of war, that ancient African country too deserves the benefit of the doubt. It’s more than its war. There are people elsewhere who also wonder why there are still people in Nigeria, believing the entire country is at war. This isn’t even the time to point fingers.

Seems like an after-thought effort by Azman and Max airlines, after they've seen the massive publicity/PR, Airpeace has enjoyed by their massive and thoughtful gesture. Also, who knows what the Northern oligarchs have done to make these airlines wake up so they can avoid banters from Nigerians that they did nothing in the face of their brothers being stranded. Their efforts are appreciated anyways.

You could've find an aorta of lie to support your argument and ended up telling stories of how Arabs invaded North Africa but can't prove how they brought Islam to Nigeria.
There is no record of Arabians presence in Northern Nigeria, even the story of black Mali ruler, Mamsa Musa's link to Yoruba land had to do with business activities through which religion find its way more in the region through trade too!

My fellow Northern brothers and sisters, hope you can now understand that your own kind of Islam is different from theirs!

National security and sovereignty is beyond religious affiliation, you are always descending your energy on religion and u need to know that Islam didn't come to Nigeria the way Christianity came. Go and verify not from religious bigots peddling lies about what they know nothing about. Islam came to Nigeria through Northern traders who go to Mali, Senegal, Morocco for trade and become converted to Islam and came back to spread it. There was never presence of Arabs in Nigeria for any religious mission in history. The fact that your ancestors were mate naked and illiterates by white colonial masters and imposed religion and culture on them doesn't necessarily means Islam came to us in similar manner, ours is a different case.

Kwamandan must be crying to save his bitter politics against Kwankwaso in Kano but in the North it will be a great boost to have Kwankwaso back in APC prior to 2031 power shift. El Rufai has no intention of contesting any election, the rest aren't bonafide Northerners to be trusted with the next mandate as such Kwankwaso is the future of Northern politics. This plan now or in the future must work because Kwankwaso can't make it in small party, the plan was hatched when Abdulmuminu Jibrin left Tinubu campaign and rush to Kwankwaso before they later joined NNPP. Tinubu prevented Kwankwaso from staying in PDP and played the game well by making sure he ramained there since he refused his proposal of becoming possible VP of his party since it may cause huge disagreement for a new comer to be given VP slot in the party!

Religion / Re: Why Outward Appearance Is So Important For Christians by ArewaNorth: 11:39am On Apr 23, 2023
ebubeson:
The bible says "Man looks at the outward appearance, but God sees the heart". For this, since man naturally does not have the right or access to see the heart, you owe man decent dressing, so that from your dressing, he can probably believe or probably accept the God that sees your heart.

If we dress like mad people or like prostitutes, how do we expect those in public to believe in the God that sees your heart?. Our Christianity is not a selfish Christianity for our hearts alone, but a Christianity that Glorifies God in our heart and in our outward appearance.. The Bible says "let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven".

Let your light shine with decent and beautiful dressing that will make men appreciate the God that sees your heart.

Politics / Re: The Unhappy Mood In The North After Tinubu Win by ArewaNorth: 3:28pm On Apr 15, 2023
VeryKindHearted:
By my observation, the mood in the north among the masses is not that happy. I sense a kind of unhappiness among the people because Atiku did not win.

Let me take you down memory lane as follows:

APC almost denied Tinubu ticket because of the fear that Atiku Abubakar of PDP may likely win because the north will vote for Atiku if APC doesn't field a northerner.

They feared that APC could lose if Tinubu is the flag bearer.

Previous to this election, everywhere I went, I observed that the north was behind Atiku.

So let us say that the north has lost the election because PDP has lost.

The East has lost the election because LP has lost.

Why are the northerners blaming the east for their lost?

I sense a kind of anger from the northerners today. They said that the easterners only voted for LP.

I saw so many WhatsApp posts here in the north attacking Igbos. I hear some discussion bordering on the selfishness of easterners. They are not happy, I can confidently say.



I believe that the north thought that the east is so divided that it cannot come together to support a particular candidate.

I sincerely believed that they thought that PDP will win because somehow or other, the east would vote for PDP.


Although I never voted for APC(I am behind Obi). But I am happy because the north now knows that a candidate from the south can win even when the north is behind a northern candidate the way they were behind Atiku. The north now knows that if everyone is voting for his tribe, no one is sure of victory.



Previous to this election, Tinubu was unpopular in the north. Everywhere in the north was Atiku.

So I am happy that a southerner has won in an election which also fielded a popular northerner.

This has taught the north a bitter lesson. They will stop being so arrogant.


Many Northerners celebrated PMB's victory too much and later regretted it. Northerners are mostly conservative people who draw their reasons and actions from scripture, and in Islam the best way to praise God isn't through the foolish celebration demonstrated in previous elections victories and many scholars encourage that henceforth when a winner is declared people should pray that the winner be the best for us unlike how we saw Buhari as messiah; this statement is very popular this election in the North. (you can verify this in most SM pages).
I pray deligently for the victory of Tinubu and this was spiritual and nobody knows but God and this is the case with many voters.

Just like Oseni Rufai, Seun Okin desperately wants a working country. Unfortunately, he knows there's a limit to which he can push it because he benefits from the largesse of (or has a soft spot for) the ruling party.

On the other hand, Oseni Rufai is young and extremely knowledgeable. Just like most young Nigerians, he sees the clear path to a new Nigeria through Peter Obi, who to a very large extent weighs much better than most Nigérian politicians on the integrity scale.

In summary, every human is a political animal. No human is totally partisan because politics is something that affects everyone, including those who don't seem to care about it.

It is obvious that most young Nigerians are full of hates, biases and know nothing about governance, capacity and intellect. How can Rufai be knowledgeable enough to attract this kind of hype?
The guy is dumb, sic and not worthy of the profession. Ethics and neutrality is the best way to go in the principle of TV broadcast media because it is a business and many unforeseen consequences have to be avoided.
The best journalists in Nigeria are newspaper journalists who investigate facts and report secrets and dangerous events which If exposed may be useful information to all, but for someone to sit in a broadcast station spitting shits reliably sourced from SM debates and discourse especially Twitter doesn't make Useni worthy of that hype. It is sad how Nigerians in their open biases glorify people who don't at all have capacity. The best journalists I know in Nigeria aren't in TV stations, they're out there working hard in disguise bringing the news that the TV stations rely upon for their broadcast!
Glorifying yellow journalism should be stopped!
Lessons should be drawn from political events of Nigeria from 1999-2023 where by people who go hard on government expressing bitter opinions about the failure of govt are seen as heroes and capacitative individuals. Criticism is cheap but action is a different phenomenon.
Go and see the history of eloquence, criticism, excellent pen solutions to National problems expressed by the likes of Adesina, Festos Keyamo, Adamu Adamu, Obasanjo, SLS, Sunday Dare, Makinde, among hundred of other critics who were just opportunist and couldn't do anything when given the chance to in some Govt capacity to prove their worth. Almost all Nigerian critics criticise govt for selfish reasons or just catching cruise. There is no any capacity in journalism beside working for brown envelope, treachery, opposition or in some cases demanding for corrections and Rufai doesn't fall in any category of people who wants better Nation by supporting a candidates whose capacity isn't even worth a commissioner of a State!

Health / FG To Build 15 Psychiatric Outposts In South East by ArewaNorth: 10:45pm On Apr 09, 2023
The Federal Government is poised to enhance mental health in the South East with the establishment of 15 outposts in the five states of the zone.

Medical Director of the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Enugu, Monday Igwe, disclosed this at a press briefing shortly after he resumed office following his re-appointment by President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term of four years.

He explained the outposts would be located in each of the senatorial districts, noting that the essence was to make access to mental health services easier for the people of the zone.

He disclosed nine out of the 15 proposed outposts had been completed and equipped and would be operational soonest with ambulances readily available to convey patients to Enugu in major cases.

Igwe said: “This hospital is the only psychiatric facility in the entire South East region. It is also the only facility that is made to train doctors and nurses in psychiatry. It is also the only facility that offers research in terms of mental health in the South East. It is also our mandate to give clinical services to people that have mental illnesses.

“The hospital also is available for the people of South South and some parts of North Central region of the country. So, if we don’t do well, we will be leaving Nigerians to suffer. That’s why we want to make this place to be the best and centre of excellence in mental health practice.

“There are a number of ways to actualise this. Since many people live very far away from Enugu State, we want to make sure our 15 newly built outposts in South East are operational.

“We have ensured each of the 15 senatorial districts in the South East has one outpost. We have successfully completed and equipped nine of the outposts while the rest are still ongoing.

“Those ones we have completed are going to be activated. We are going to post our staff there.”

The medical director received a rousing welcome from staff of the hospital, where he thanked the president for finding him worthy of another tenure in office.

Igwe took over a fractured health institution four years ago and has made efforts to restore the lost glory of the hospital.

Education / ABU Zaria To Develop Made-In-Nigeria Water-Fuelled-Car by ArewaNorth: 2:01pm On Apr 03, 2023
Ibrahim Dabo, the dean, Faculty of Engineering, Ahmadu Bello University, ABU, Zaria, says the university is working to develop a made-in-Nigeria car that will use water.

The dean made this known on Saturday in Zaria while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria on the commemoration of the 2023 World Engineering Day for sustainable development.

Mr Dabo, a professor, said there were several breakthroughs in ABU, including the recent development of an electric car and a shell eco-marathon car.

He added that the faculty was working on the development of a car that would be running with water.

“The shell eco-marathon car that was developed by the university had a capacity to cover over 100 kilometers with a litre of fuel,” he said.


According to him, the shell eco-marathon car has been taken to South Africa where it performed excellently, stressing that the university is working to improve on its fuel efficiency.

“The concept for the shell eco-marathon car was a small car that takes a maximum of two people for a racing competition, not for mass transit,” he said.


He added that the electric car that was developed is also a small car that takes a maximum of four people.

The dean however noted that the closure of Nigerian universities for 2023 general elections made the commemoration of the event low key at ABU.

He described the theme of the event, “Engineering innovations for more resilient world”, as topical, apt and timely.

Mr Dabo, therefore, called on the government to encourage outcome based education across tertiary institutions to boost and strengthen the quality and skills of engineers produced in Nigeria.

The professor also appealed for improved collaboration between the academia and industries.

He lamented that most of the industries around most of the institutions were closed, few functional ones import skills and essential raw materials, resulting into parallel position between the academia and industries.

NAN recalls that the World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development was proclaimed by UNESCO at its 40th General Conference in 2019.
