Its very obvious that the author of this post has a very limited world view of universities in Nigeria, if Kogi state University babes possess all these traits, I wonder what you will say about Unilag, Osu, Lead City or UniAbuja University babes?

Please let's always be matured in our posts here, the fact that a Kogi state Varsity girl took you for MAGA does not mean you should come here and paint their babes bad.

Boko Haram does not work in the way you think it does.

These folks , or pigeons, are not fighting to advance the Northern Muslim agenda (nor are they, as some have speculated, Jonathan's plot against the North).wise talk

When we became independent in 1060, we made a mistake. We opted to become a resource dependent economy, rather than an industrial economy. We continued with the Colonial policy of exporting raw materials to the West, and using the money to import. Of course, we spent a lot of money on education, and it was hoped that we would become industrial (and in the 1970's we did make progress in that direction). But even as we were making progress....we still continued to rely on importation.

Pretty soon, we were importing the things that we should have been manufacturing. We were even importing raw materials for our industries. All on a diminishing pot of oil money. By 1979, our economy was hooked to oil money....and has remained so ever since.

Because of over-importation, we have no jobs for hundreds of our youth. Because the industries that would have given them jobs have been squelched by oilmoney driven importation.

As a result we have a mass of unemployed and underused and bitter educated youth....who have nothing to do, and who are ripe tools for Boko Haram.

You know, reading the comments here....it is as if Nigerians are not learning the lesson of Boko Haram....that a country that does not take care of its young can expect disaster. Why are hundreds of young people running to join Boko? Why are hundreds of young people running to scoop oil from leaking oil tanker. ? Why have hundreds of people risking their lives to do things that would kill them?

Until Nigeria gets rid of its oil addiction.....and the sad thing is that even if we vote APC or PDP or any of the parties in to office....I see no change coming.....we will forever have Boko Haram with us. And not just the fanatic version, or the political version. What is the use of education when you cannot use it for nothing?

Oil is a curse.
