Being educated in ajami script can only land them gateman job.

But they are literate, ie can read and write

Agent Sowore....

CIA ASSET YOU MEAN

franchasng:
Islamic education is a crime against humanity

Another naive answer
But I don't blame you, it's the half "western education" you got and it was deliberate not to teach you what you needed to know, they only taught you what they want you to know which is not a lot.

Jakumo:
One reason that could possibly explain the startling academic brilliance of the Fulani students I mentioned as having performed so extraordinarily well in school is the vast amount of memorization that is needed to commit the Quran's entire Arabic content to memory. Intense exercise utilizing the brain's power of recall has been scientifically proven to enhance brain functionality significantly.

That said, an education in Arabic or Islamic studies is practically worthless on its own in the absence of a formal Western education that is grounded in the sciences. One can only hope that Northern Nigerian leaders will eventually embrace the understanding that a vast untapped resource of brain power requires only free education to completely transform the lives of generations to come for the profoundly better.

Naive
The so called western education started when European crusaders started implementing what they learnt and stole from Muslim lands during the cusades..... In many fields of science, you find Islamic scholars....likes of Ibn Sina and Ibn Khaldun.
Did you know Oxford started as a seminary? The first non religious department in Oxford was department of Arabic and it was mainly to translate the Arabic texts the crusaders brought back

Moroccoguy:
So Nigeria no dey among

We dey

But not among the top 15

SIRTee15:
If china wants to be the next father Christmas of the world, then be my guest. I'm sure America will care less at this moment.

You sef know say na lie be this
America even fears China more than Russia
Why then is it undermining China at any given chance if it care less, it cares a great deal what china does.

Why is US taking over Panama canal, fear of china dominance in south America.

Jakumo:
The denial of formal education to generations of Northern Nigerians by their selfish and greedy political moneyed elite is one of the greatest injustices that continues to be inflicted on a people. Some years back, I noted with amazement how the children of a poor Fulani family broke academic records in a secondary school in Nigeria's south, starting from the time they were awarded scholarships to gain an education for free.

That unexpected academic brilliance displayed by those Fulani students from poor families was a sobering revelation that led me to wonder how many such academic geniuses of Fulani descent are DEPRIVED of a chance to enrol in school, on account of how education is available only to the select few who can afford its high cost in Northern Nigeria.

But the northerners are highly literate
The ajami script has been there since 16th century.
What they lack, and were not really encouraging was western education and it was because western education was primarily brought to Nigeria by Christian missionaries which they fear would take their children away from Islam which is a genuine concern.

The average northern water vendor or cobbler you see down south is educated up to diploma level In Arabic and Islamic education, they are not illiterates

SmartPolician:
The EU is angry because Donald Trump has taken a bold step to end the era of making the US the world's Father Christmas (Santa clause). I dare Macron to take the place of America in global aids and financial support.

US made itself the world father Christmas because it wanted to be the world power. Nobody forced it

SIRTee15:
Let me ask U a question

If U enter an agreement and U later realised that contract was a mistake and not in your best interest or U noticed some loophole in the contract is being exploited against U.

What's the right thing for U to do?

But you entered into the agreement because you want to have unfair advantage over other competitors and you have made yourself the world police, some of those agreement made you this powerful

Don't you think rolling back all those things that made you great is going to make you less great and then make China that has been waiting in the wings and has so far been curtailed by your tariffs stronger ?

Kennyfancy:
The deal is fair, most of these countries are living off 🇺🇸 and 🇺🇸 is saying no, how can you put tariff at 99% against usa and you don't want same back

You achieved your great status with the current situation
Nobody forced US to go into these trade agreements that doesn't favour them, they did it in order to beat others

Besides , because Americans are afraid of the impact of global warming, they shipped their manufacturing to china India Japan and Korea.
Trump has always been a climate skeptic , he has pulled out of the Paris agreement so the door is open for US manufacturing to return, they just needed an incentive which is what the tariffs will do

SeeWahala:
Yes I heard about the way the benue gana guy was mislead into an ambush and murderedbby the same military that turns their faces whenever herdsmen massacre benue indigenes

Benue people that were more than 30 million 10 years ago now remains only 5 million


What a pity

Machinegun91 how far? Are you still with us?

You are not up to date

The gana boys have taken over from the Fulanis and are the ones perpetrating crimes In benue. Gana had gone rogue, attacking the people he said he was protecting against Fulanis and stealing from them , creating a violent crisis around Katsina ala and Zaki biam axis , so the military took him out

Wasn't this how Ortom too was always whipping up anti Fulani sentiments, cursing APC and Buhari when it's time to pay salaries and pensions..... The people will hail him as Saviour but the results is unpaid salaries and hunger....... The same man refused to support his partys candidate and later Benue state ends up electing an APC governor.

Nigerian politics is not for the faint hearted.

Asonaijaaso:
Nigeria just witnessed something unprecedented—a woman, a rookie senator, defying the old gods of Nigerian politics and landing right in the heart of her people, not in a convoy, but in a helicopter.

In Kogi Central, time stood still as Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan arrived like a warrior queen, bypassing every roadblock of intimidation, every orchestrated ban, and every archaic rule designed to suppress opposition. She didn’t just walk into battle—she descended from the sky.

The 10-Factor Authentication of Natasha Akpoti

For a country where political power is hoarded like a family heirloom, Natasha is the anomaly that nobody saw coming. She isn’t just a politician; she is a force of nature, layered with dimensions that have left her adversaries bewildered.

A Nigerian with Ukrainian blood – They can’t call her an outsider, but she also doesn’t fit their script.
An English name (Natasha) with a Muslim name (Hadiza) – She can’t be boxed into a single identity.
A Kogi native who commands national attention – She is rooted yet expansive.
A woman where men fear to tread – The old guard thought they were fighting their mistresses, only to find out they were facing an empress.
A shrine visitor and a political gladiator – She embraces both the supernatural and the strategic.
An Amazon with an aura, a warrior with weapons – Beauty, intellect, and ancestral backing.

This is not the kind of opponent Nigerian godfathers are used to dealing with. They have crushed voices before with police threats, legal gymnastics, and military intimidation. But what do you do when your opponent is not afraid? When she has access to the ancestral forces they themselves revere?

The Hunter is Now the Hunted

For too long, Nigerian politics has been a game of money, muscle, and manipulation. Senators, governors, and cabals have operated as demigods, dictating outcomes with a snap of their fingers. But here comes Natasha, flipping the script.

She is not waiting to be invited into the boys’ club—she stormed in, sword in hand, and set the table on fire.

While some bow to power, she defies it.
Where others hide, she takes the battle to their doorstep.
When they thought she would be scared, she laughed in their faces.

This is not Ali Ndume.
This is not Ningi.
This is not Dino Melaye with his theatrics.

This is one woman who has done what these men couldn’t do even if they combined forces.

Akpabio, Take Note—Your Seat is No Throne

Senate President Godswill Akpabio may have thought his seat was at the pleasure of the President. But Natasha just reminded him of an uncomfortable truth:

That seat is at the mercy of the senators, not Aso Rock.
The Senate is not a kingdom, and he is not its god.
If a rookie senator can shake the very foundation of the chamber, then the walls are already cracked.

A New Era for Nigerian Democracy

For the first time, the old lions of Nigerian politics are seeing their reflection in a woman’s sword.
For the first time, a freshman senator has called their bluff—and they blinked.
For the first time, the gods of the land are on the side of a challenger, not the establishment.

May the ancestors continue to guide and protect Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. The earth sees all, and the wise keep its balance.


This is how you fight for democracy.

Don't over estimate Natasha, she s still very vulnerable and will be dealt with at the right time. Don't underestimate those She's dealing with.

EponObi:
This one is gone. I'm very sure of it.

She's too naive to be a Nigerian politician. Ever since this saga started, she has been the only one running from pillar to pillar. She has thrown her punches in the public and they are nowhere effective. From making sexual allegation with no evidence, to running mad in the chambers, to paying for interviews on foreign TV stations, to paying crowd for some nonsense PR, now making serious allegations without proof again. They are watching her and noticing her mistakes and weakness. The recall process is a small thing, na Yahyah Bello dey run that one on him own. Akpabio and the APC hasn't thrown any punch. Tinubu too will throw his own because she tried to manipulate the impeachment of Akpabio - which is an indirect threat to his Presidency. When they are ready to strike, I swear, Jesus self go pity her.

I'm enjoying the show though. This is another avenue for Nigerian youths to learn about manipulation and power dynamics. But no, majority are too invested emotionally.

Pettiness is not equal to ruthlessness. She's going to learn.

Unfortunately those pushing her now go all disappear when it start

Botragelad:
[


Oslo Accords offered statehood, Arafat walked away. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, Palestine trash elected Hamas. Syria’s Assad butchered thousands of Arabs, where’s your “Arab unity” there?

Taa
You this BIBI puppet

BIBI popped up Hamas to deal with Fatah , They fell out when Hamas stopped taking their orders..... But it's only you that don't know this trick of the Zionists. They create terrorists to take down their enemies then turn on the terrorists when the work is done. From Alqaeda to ISIS the whole world now knows who props up terrorists whenever they feel like it.

Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005 but blockaded it from land sea and air essentially making it the largest open air prison in the world...... this is the motivation that Hamas needed

Xannadu:
So what's your reasoning here, the state resources are too small for politicians to embezzle so it doesn't matter? The fact that you even think Nigeria is a poor country shows just how little you know about the economy. Not to even consider the fact that you think all that goes into a politician's pocket comes only from the IGR, completely ignoring the billions of dollars they borrow yearly for "infrastructural developments" we never get to see after their tenure ends.

Most times , Nigerians exaggerate the corruption issue. For example Elrufai is accused of corruption to the tune of hundreds of billions and it's this amount that some people will be arguing he stole, but it's impossible for a governor to steal that much even if he steals the whole state budget (which is another impossibility)

But I have no pity for thieves of commonwealth, even if it's a Kobo stolen..... This doesn't mean we should over exaggerate their theft

Politicstoday:
Natasha recall in the 10th Senate is dead on arrival. Even in 2027 senatorial election, Senator Natasha Akpoti will win her reelection in Kogi Central Senatorial district. If you like keep on hating her. She’s doing the needful in her senatorial district.

Care to highlight some of the things she has done?
I keep seeing she has done the needful without anybody mentioning anything she has done ,not even to say she built so so and so in so so place
Abi na audio achievements?

Seun:
I had a long phone chat with an old friend of mine who I previously had a public falling out with. We agreed to disagree about religion and family life, and promised each other not to allow our differences of opinion to be a stumbling block to our friendship anymore.

We also committed to doing business together. I will buy a beautiful duplex from his company and consult them when I need to travel. He will buy 7.5% of Nairaland at a very attractive valuation and become a director of our company so that we can benefit from his vast experience.

It feels so good to be on good terms again! I urge you to follow our example if you're currently not on good terms with any old friend.

You can make better money of you decide to sell to one of your fans in the Obidients camp, they can't wait to get their hands on this site and turn it to something toxic like X

You and Jarus again

Hope it will end well this time ,both of una like drama

auditor0471:
This woman must really be a big force. The Kogi governor and Bello were busy cooking fake recall and the woman of the people just want to come check what they are cooking and the whole state is afraid. Police provide security that’s your job. Natasha no be anybody mate for Grassroots politics

Yahya Bello has done more for igbiraland than her
He not only brought governorship to igbiraland
He also handed over to another igbiraman.....
If you know how igbiras suffered under Igalas, you will know it's a big deal. Natasha belongs to the PDP, she's just playing opposition politics

osayuwamwen:
Lol solar are even the best form of electricity wen u are using a pure sign wave inverter electricity from this type of solar system is cleaner than electricity from nepa of Gen

Nobody is arguing the "cleanness" ..... Everyone knows it's cleaner

But it's ability to damage phone batteries. Clearly two different things

Birdbyrde440:
You know you can talk alot online that doesn't change the reality on the ground. You really provoked me with your comments that's why I said go to hell. Sorry about that and Leave me alone. You are free to believe what ever you want. The truth leaves no room for any reasonable doubt.

This is an open forum where anybody can claim anything. The truth can be relative , your truth might be lies to someone else

Birdbyrde440:
A senior states man , Ibrahim Babangida has vehemently refuted this claim and yet you decide to spread falsehood. You can go to hell with that.

How

He only said other tribes also participated and not that it wasn't an igbo planned and led coup.

So what was did he say concerning why there are no coup activities in the south east?

You are clever by half, if you have any shame you should hide your face and stop all this nonsense revisionism that's dead on arrival......it was only igbo revisionists that refer to IBBbook of lies in the hope that we will be carried away ,nobody else.

Nobody ever disagree with the counter coup.... Its still till today tagged the northern counter coup

MEEVEET:
Anything a Yoruba man is guilty of he acuse others to make him feel better

Call the yorubaman names if it will make you sleep well
But that isn't taking away your sorrows

Birdbyrde440:
The issue of minority oppression by igbo majority is real in the south east but measures will be put in place to ensure everyone lives in peace and harmony without overreaching.

I like your tone, very impressive
How I wish more reasonable voices like this dominate the igbo narrative,and not IPOB spokespersons all over this forum led by gidgiddy.

Birdbyrde440:
Igbos will continue to stand up to injustice. Standing up to injustice and oppression cost us 3m people during the Biafra war.

Which injustice cost you 3milliom lives ?

Have you apologized to the families of those your igbo soldiers killed during the igbo coup in which no single igbo leader was killed while massacring leaders of other tribes

Injustice indeed

MEEVEET:
It's course we igbos have we can't see oppression and look away( even if it's our enemies being oppressed) ... Every problem igbos have faced in Nigeria is fighting for others...

That's the LIE you people tell yourselves all the time, but we know it only concerns you if it happens outside igboland. If it happens In igboland that minorities are being oppressed, you look the other way, clearly Simon Ekpa was oppressing the whole south eastern populace and yall kept mum.

It's because you have a culture that disparages even your own kinsmen by labelling them Osu....

Makamatic:
Yooluba man till tomorrow edo state is obidient , go and join your foolaani masters

What was Akpatas position in the last election.

You are not up to date

Edo is now Lagos, as said by the governor
You can go and die
Or hug the nearest transformer
You can also jump into the lagoon
