For the fact that they behave in an awkward manner won't deny the the fact that they are enlightened.
Mind you, to be educated is different from being enlightened.

To Be Enlightened means - To possess greater knowledge or understanding of a situation (Good or Bad)
To Be Educated means - To possess Intellectual, Moral or Social Instruction

While the former may be misleading or delivered wrongly, Education is a more guided form of knowledge
and in accordance to moral principle.

SUMMARY
They are more enlightened

Child marriage is not the behavior of an enlightened being.

Boko Haram is not enlightened.

Rioting because of a lost election is not enlightened.

Child begging is not enlightened.

Illiteracy is not enlightened.

Unless you are arguing that the destructive northern elite who seem content to use the average northerner as a pawn in their game is 'enlightened' then what you have argued makes no sense.

dason4life:
Honestly, that is a good move considering the fact that the Transistor
Radio is almost a part of their culture.
Jesters should realise that an Average Northern is more enlightened than
a Msc graduate in the other region in Nigeria . . .courtesy of the RADIO.

Food For Thought
Why do you think BBC do broadcast in Hausa Language?

Information is Potential Power

You're talking nonsense.

How can you argue that a region where idiots will join Boko Haram; engage in senseless rioting when someone offends their religion abroad; or are so bound by their foolish religion that they will refuse to send their children to school but rather send them out on the streets to beg are in anyway 'enlightened'?

Have people stopped this foolish habit of consuming 'bush meat'?

OBAGADAFFI:
Northerners do not joke with Radios especially BBC Hausa services.

Notice how you mentioned BBC Hausa.

Why BBC? Are they not capable of producing their own radio stations?

olapluto:
In an age where 6 year olds are accessing information via internet, a senator is repressing his people with an obsolete radio.

It's true what you say but we need to remember that education has been completely neglected in that part of the country.

What good is the internet when the population in the north is illiterate?

Tomorrow her husband will make the same post about her.

I doubt that she's the oil painting that she believes herself to be - why was she still unmarried at 32 if marriage was/is so important to her?

Something is wrong with the OP that she has not revealed to us.

Toeyoursea:
I really don't understand the hatred for this hard working and dug-ed man. He has a track record (if you have eyes to see) of performing. Even though like 99% of our politicians, he has a questionable spending habit and lifestyle, he still remains a performer. His success in the next four years as a Minister is very vital to our revival as a nation.
God bless Nigeria

It's very straight forward.

This man wasted a lot of money in Rivers State, from the unnecessary monorail project to the hospital that never was to the appalling roads that are only now being dealt with.

The man knows how to play politics Nigerian-style, to have such a character as Minister for Transport is laughable.

I've been using it for years and never once paid for the service.

I wish all these ladies who spend so much time on fake hair and face paint would dedicate just a few hours a week to exercise.

This is why I like cats.

And why I don't understand why some people persist in consuming bush meat.

free2ryhme:
fashola was smarter is cleared the drainage before the rains start however Ambode is busy chasing shadows all in the name of change

You talk of Fashola as if he was the one personally clearing the drainage.

Nevermind the fact that roads and estates (such as VGC) flooded and destroyed property during his tenure.

Keneking:
lalasticlala ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I like Italian and Brazilian type of meals...see dodo

Brazilian food is influenced by African/Nigerian dishes.

They eat akara, moi moi and plantain in the same way that Nigerians do.

Why is there so much fake news on Nairaland?

There were politicians in Nigeria before and after the colonial era.

Why are you people so quick to spread lies?

Vomm:
The Emir Sanusi Lamido said “If we follow the philosophy of Sardauna, Nigeria will be better for it. However, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for a better Nigeria.”

I've been hearing qoute "This light at the end of the tunnel for a better Nigeria" but it seems the tunnel is such a very very long one that we may likely not get to the supposed light soon. With this present administration, it seems the tunnel now has different community within it that we must all visit before we eventually proceed to the end of this tunnel but I hope the journey to the end of the tunnel won't be like the journey of the isrealites to the promised land.
I pray say all of us will get to see this light very very soon.

This is the Sardauna that he is exalting.

Biafran separatists are a greater problem than Boko Haram; the Fulani herdsmen who kill daily in the Middle Belt; or the illiterate children sent out onto the streets to beg by their foolish, irresponsible parents?

At least Biafrans are looking for a political solution that does not entail murder or rigging elections.

Can the same be said for Sanusi, Buhari and their cohorts?

Why anyone would wear a three-piece suit in the tropics is beyond me.

This old fool has run out of ideas.

mallamseifaldin:
The richest man in Africa= Dangote.=Fulani.
The most beautiful women in Nigeria =Fulani.
The most handsome men in Nigeria = Fulani.
Which tribe has ruled Nigeria more = Fulani.
Who dominate the entire political cycle of Nigeria = Fulani.
Who was the first prime minister of Nigeria = Fulani.
Who determine how the revenue generated from Nigeria natural resources are shared = Fulani.

We are so blessed.
We lead others follow.


Mallam Seif al Din.

You forgot the most backwards people in the entire west African region.

Lowest literacy rates.

Highest infant mortality rates.

I'm glad that people are finally having this discussion about religion and its effect on the Nigerian psyche.

Someone please slap this fool.

What an epic waste of money and human resources.

OgbeifunErom:
The best President Nigeria has ever had!

Despite opposition from IPOB Youths, the majority of Nigerians are fully behind you sir!

What are you smoking?

This guy has done nothing that can even be misinterpreted as 'good'.

How do you reason that he is the best ever?

If you're a billionaire who dies at 67 then you mismanaged your priorities/resources.

At the very least safeguard your health, eat well, exercise and get sufficient rest.

https://afritechnet..com/2015/12/reigious-apps-as-means-to-spread-malware.html

Cybercriminals are creating free mobile apps as a means to spread invasive malware. Doing so gives them access to data from the most frequently used piece of hardware - the smartphone.

With billions of adherents, apps focused on the interests of the religiously inclined have a large, ready-made captive audience to profit from. For those in legitimate business they are a means of connecting advertisers with potential customers. Meanwhile, those with less honest intentions will see such apps as a means to pounce on naive smartphone users.

Security researchers working for Proofpoint claim to have found a large number of Bible and Quran apps that have been infected with malicious code.

Proofpoint found that the Bible is the most popular of the holy book apps, followed by the Quran. They counted in excess of over 5,600 unique Bible apps (4,154 Android; 1500 iOS) and 4,450 for the Quran (3,804 Android; 646 iOS).

A single Bible app has over 50 million registered downloads, three registered over five million downloads, and seventeen Bible apps have been each downloaded over one million times. For the Quran the two most popular apps have over 10 million registered downloads; seven have over 5 million downloads; 13 additional apps have a minimum of one million downloads.

208 Android-platform Biblical apps are known to be infected with malicious code, 140 classified as 'high risk' by Proofpoint. A significant number of Bible apps were found to be without privacy policies, this is usually a warning sign that all is not well and increases the potential risk of user exposure. It was found that one of the most popular Biblical apps sends user data to sixteen servers in three different countries; reads user SMS messages; has access to the address book, device and phone information; and has the ability to make calls on the user's behalf.

Sixteen of the Android-platform Quranic apps were found to contain malicious code, an additional thirty-eight were classified as 'high risk'. One of the most commonly downloaded Quranic apps installs as a boot-time app; communicates with over thirty servers; reads SMS messages; can send SMS messages on the user's behalf; can independently look up user's GPS location.

From the results of the study one can deduce that Apple's closed garden iOS platform works in the best interests of the user. None of the iOS apps tested were found to be infected with malware. Apple's strict app developer policies appear to have done the trick by protecting the user and keeping user data out of the clutches of cybercrooks.

As with all things it's important not to judge the book (or app) by its cover, holy or otherwise. The same precautions need to be taken with all smartphone software. Readers are advised to be particularly wary of apps that:

Have no privacy policy
Request super user permissions
Root or jailbreak the device
Upload user information without asking for permission or notifying the user
Read SMS/Emails and send them to a third party

politricks:
How many times will these whites keep repeating the same mistake, are they this dumb?

Yes.

Yes they are.

Nigeria needs to add 'economic treason' to its criminal code.

Make it a capital offense and deal with all these cretins.

Once the incentives are outweighed by the potential deficits (death and asset seizure) people will think twice about engaging in business practices that sabotage the economic well-being of the nation.

Absolute nonsense.

There are 60 million people in the UK.

There are not 3 million Nigerians living there.

Where do these fools grab their numbers from?

Uyo wasn't 'locked down'.

Why do you people insist on lying?

Those pics weren't even taken in Uyo.

Congratulations to this man.

theDEVILisHERE:
In the future
The North will be engulfed in secterian Wars

The future?

What is Boko Haram?

Why did these guys confront the army?

The North is already boiling over.

juman:
In my opinion I have very very little faith in this apc government.

In the beginning of this government, some people refer to the old man buhari as messiah, I stated that time that it was too early to see him as messiah because obasanjo that we saw as messiah at the end turned out to be just another military general.

Now nigerians can see that apc is struggling to govern.

Anyone who fully understands English and has a memory retention rate of more than five days should have seen through the charade immediately.
