Religion is the problem of Nigeria. Religion has brought nothing but death and destruction to Nigeria. There is hate and distrust now all in the name of religion. Someone should please tell me one good thing religion has brought to Nigeria. All I see all around me is hate, distrust, death, destruction, brutality and underdevelopment (due to destruction) all in the name of religion. Islam and Christianity are the two worst things to ever happen to Nigeria. All our forefathers that fell to these religions will be weeping in their graves right now. Separate Religion from state affairs and Nigeria will have overcome all her billion and one problems (Corruption, robbery, destruction etc). All crimes are buried and go unpunished in the name of religion. SHAME.

Strike has always taken place in Nigeria no matter the person in power. Do not politicise this. Even during the time of your beloved presidential candidate there was strike. As long as you have unionism you will always have agitation that leads to strikes. That is why most organisations are trying to rid temselves of unionism. It is good for collective bargaining but nothing else.

PoliticsRe: Almajiris - Nigeria's Ticking Time Bomb by knuckbuck(m): 9:17am On Apr 24, 2011
@Kobojunkie
Kobojunkie:
May I suggest that rather than reading up on theories behind ideas, we go out there to learn if the ideas we speak of are even being implemented in anyway. It is one thing for an area to "receive funds", and another for same area to actually be impacted by funds recieved. That is a major concern both in the south and the North. Our school system receives some level of funding each year as well but for the last 20 or so years, it is clear that the same system has been deteriorating at a rapid level.

More than anything else, we need to stop pretending we are daft in all this. We are supposed to be the educated and informed ones and I suggest we start thinking harder to save our own lives( as I believe it may come down to that someday if we continue this way). You suggest that the Almajiris decided to go Sharia, and I cannot help but ask exactly when you heard of them, the poor disenfranchised people of the North, coming together to vote for Sharia the way it turned out for them?  This is not a case of separation of state from Religion. Sharia exists . . . we get it but it has little or nothing to do with the current problem(or I should say this problem that has been stewing for a while now). The poor and the needy outnumber the educated in the Northern region and the more we sit back pretending it is not our problem, the worse the potential disaster grows.

If you are really concerned about getting rid of sharia, then I suggest you go after those they have in senate and the house of reps. They are the only ones who can do much about that at this point.
You seem to have misunderstood me or you purposely chose to misrepresent what I have written. I did not in anywhere state that the "the Almajiris went Sharia" but rather the states with a lot of Almajiris went Sharia to try to frustrate OBJ. My response was to the effect that the federal government has been trying for a long time to help the states with these Alamajiris since the 1970s. You were quick to chip in MEND in your comment and they started getting special treatment from the federal govt only within the last five years while these Almajiri states have been benefitting from the federal govt for decades. My point is, the state Governors (who incidentally are predominantly non PDP by the way) went Sharia to frustrate any effort by the govt to try to dig into their activities. They hide under the cloak of religion to frustrate any effort. Sharia do exist and it has everything to do with the current condition up north. No other law can supercede the sharia (according to the islamic teachings). Western education is taught to be hated because it is supposed to undermine Sharia (hence Boko Haram meaning "Education (western in this case) is a sin"wink. When these Almajiris are raised to accept this teachings how can you make them accept western education? Religion and politics is a dangerous mix and it will be better to seperate religion and state. I schooled in Nigeria and had the opportunity to mix with northern students and you need to know how much they get as scholarships from their state governments while the other students can only dream.  
For the record, there are a lot of other poor people in the north that are not Almajiris and are not muslims. You do not hear them causing all these troubles. I am sure you have heard of the Jukuns.

Princek12:
So what are they learning in these Almajiri schools? What is the reasoning behind establishing these Almajiri schools in the first place? This is an excerpt from the article:

"The Nigeria-based Almajiri Education Foundation says on its Web site: " 'Almajiri' is a word borrowed from Arabic for someone who leaves his home in search of knowledge in Islamic religion. In the ideal situation, the communities should support these children as they leave their families to become a servant of Allah."

They are searching for Islamic knowledge, so how can you not blame the school--and Islam-- for not giving them a balanced education?

Also, why not outlaw these schools in the first place? I have suggested that  these schools be outlawed, but proponents of the school--through Nairaland-- usually respond and attack me by saying that Muslims have a right to practice their religion. So are these Almajiri schools an expression of Muslims, which would then be protected by the constitutional guarantee of freedom of religion?

And if Islam has nothing to do with Almajiri schools, why not outlaw and abolish these schools and establish public school education for these poor children? What purpose do they serve in the North.
You mean well but there is little more the federal government can do in these states where Almajiris abound. These states constitute the so called "Educationally Less disadavantaged states (ELDS)" and they have have been receiving funds from the federal government allocation since the 1970's. They get free education where the rest of Nigeria do not. They get scholarship and grants that people from other parts of nigeria can only dream of. They are the reason why Nigeria uses quota sytem like mad (with the hope that they will someday catch up). When OBJ came into power these states with all these Almajiris decided to go Sharia. If it is possible to seperate the state from religion then things might be different. The funds gotten from the federal govt are used to fund these so called Islamic schools to the detriment of western education because they believe western education is bad (hence "Boko Haram). It is sad, very sad.
PoliticsRe: The Unrest Is Over - North Pacified by knuckbuck(m): 7:11am On Apr 20, 2011
"Nigeria is roughly divided in half between a mainly Muslim north and predominately Christian south. Buhari, whose party has rejected the results and filed a challenge to them, has not spoken publicly, but condemned the rioting in brief comments to the BBC's Hausa-language service. Police were providing few details on the situation. While the initial rioting began over allegations that Jonathan's party had sought to rig the vote, the situation appeared to be more complex in some instances. One man claiming to be a witness to unrest in the town of Zonkwa in the south of Kaduna state said on local radio that clashes broke out early Tuesday when Christians celebrating Jonathan's victory attacked Muslims there. Muslim residents fought back and police were outnumbered, according to the man who said he had taken refuge at a police station along with a number of others. "The Christians succeeded in burning our homes, our vehicles," he said. "They killed many and threw some of the dead in open wells. Many dead bodies litter the streets." An inhabitant of Kaduna city claimed that residents from the mostly Christian south of the state had come to the area on Sunday and targeted Muslims. The resident, Abubakar Aliyu, told AFP by phone he also saw police shoot seven people and other locals told him that bodies were also thrown into wells there. None of the claims could be immediately verified. "

Big frigging lie. Big frigging lie. Big frigging lie. liar liar. The muslims all over the north started all these mayhem. Everyone knows this and no amount of sugar coating will change the truth. Look at bauchi, kano, and all other parts of the north. this mayhem is as a result of the CPC candidate losing and not because the christians were jubilating. Liars. The truth WILL be revealed. Mai tatsine started this in the 80s and it has only gotten worse. God will punish everyone who kills in the name of Allah/God.

“I have never cried in all the positions I occupied but I was moved and I wept because of the present pitiable condition of Nigeria, particularly that of the poor ones who are struggling to survive. Here is a country that is rich and blessed, and there is no sound leadership that will do justice to the country. We have been struggling for liberation; I ran in 2003, same in 2007 and now in 2011, and I said this is the last time that I will run, and the thought that some people because of abject poverty will sell their votes also made me emotional and I wept for our country.''-GMB
Are you telling me that they were no poor people during Buhari, IBB and Abacha's tenure? Several times during their tenure Nigeria was ranked as one of the most corrupt nation the world, one of the poorest nation in the world and so forth. You can dig up corruption index from UN for as far back as you care. Nigerians are not fools. The problems of Nigeria was amplified when Dictator Buhari truncated democracy. the same democracy he wants to benefit from now. Shameless man. Vote anyone but Buhari. He was, is and will continue to be a major problem in Nigeria. Out with the old (Buhari, OBJ, IBB, Atiku etc) and in with the new (Ribadu, GEJ, Pat Utomi etc).
