Most Almajiris can't read or write their own names even in their native languages let alone in Arabic.

What Almajiris do is mostly to cram and memorize portions of the Holy Quran and depending on their level of 'Almajiri training' some can read parts of the written Quran in Arabic with little abilities to interpret it to the local languages or even comprehend it well.


If you use an ordinary paper on which you write faeces in Arabic to wipe your anus and an Almajiri in Kano, Funtua, Geidam, Zaria or Gombe sees you, he can thrust a dagger into your Tummy for allegedly using 'the Quran' as toileteries.

Obas101:

I have enjoyed your write-ups and posts uptil this point.

1) Slavery was more prevalent in the North than in the South and has been going on for longer period than the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.
The Trans-Saharan slave trade sourced their slaves from West Africa , substantial parts of which came from the present Northern Nigeria.

2) At the onset of British Colonialism, about half of the population of the Sokoto Caliphate were slaves.

fk001:
The North were never weak as of then, they were the only region that have their armies in an organized way.

Followed by the SW

The SE were decentralized fighting themselves, as we have read in chinua Achebe's books.


Do you know that there was little or no slave trade in Northern Nigeria when compared to the massive slave trade that was undergoing across the river Niger?

You can start one History channel sir. We will all appreciate your efforts and you will make a great deal of money.

Twistsss:
Nigeria needs a National History channel. There are so many things about the past the masses need education on.

But Igbos are everywhere in Nigeria and Nigeria is not yet working.

Chicagoesontop:
I keep saying it, Igbos has been there right from the onset waxing strong, but now what we got for our contribution in this country , is to be labeled terrorists, thieves and all sorts of bad names ...

I will keep saying it again and again, until this respect and status is restored back to the Igbos, this Nigeria will never work .. I happen to know Never say Never, but it this case i said NIGERIA WILL NEVER WORK WITHOUT THE IGBOS .. Mark my words .

The late Sarkin Musulimi, Kalifar Attahiru-1 of Sokoto fought against implementation British Colonialism from Sokoto to Worno, to Katsina, Fika, Gombe before he was haunted down and killed in Ashaka in 1903.

May Allah Grant his soul eternal rest.

Why not carve your own country out of Nigeria and leave the rest of us.

PrinzCarter:
North n west are the two place dat should b removed from Nigeria dey r d major factors y d country is were it is

I know you people will bring Yoruba into this matter and before the end of the second thread, it will turn to a Yoruba bashing thread with the Shouts of 'Afonja' upandan.

Gandollar:
Attachee by force? Coming from you who has never identified with the sufferings of your minority tribe but seeks relevance among the Yoruba nation is to say the least a comic relief.

Okay sir.


On a personal note, I admire your politeness in this politically charged debate.
This is very uncommon on Nairaland, most people would have gone emotional and started calling me names or even curse me for holding this contrary views. Have a great day sir.

otipoju:
I have heard you. There is no point arguing.
You cant convince me, i cant convince you.

Lets both have a beautiful wednesday.

Prof Maurice Iwu was a distinguished scholar and a Professor of Pharmacognosy at UNN.

He earned Master's Degree at Bradford University through Research Works. This is NOT a fraud. There are different types of Masters.




So courses and training in different Military Academies can't amount to First Degree?


The e-mail you qouted is a fraud. I wonder how you can believe such crap.
That you seriously assumed that one random Sunday Iwalaiye will just send an email to the US War College requesting for academic records of a Fellow of the College and the College Secretary will just forward a response email to him just like that? You need a formal approval of an alumnus before you can be given his academic records in an institution unless compelled by a court or the requesting authority is also an academic institution demanding for academic records of a prospective student from his previous college/University.


Even the response is not the usual styles of response from academic institutions. The Qualification is unspecified (Diploma in Infantry Tactics or Diploma in Military Signal Communications or Military History?) and unclassified (with ordinary pass or with distinctions)?.

Anyone that is well familiared with correspondence with Academic institutions will easily know that this is fake.

Furthermore, check the e-mail!

otipoju:
You may want to read this about your man. Iwu.
http://saharareporters.com/2007/01/09/full-story-maurice-iwus-fraudulent-life

I repeat again for emphasis.
You cannot have a Masters degree without a Bachelors degree.

If you have an HND, you will do a Post graduate Diploma before being allowed to do a masters.

Back to the subject matter. 99 .9 percent of US Army officers have a Bachelors degree.

What Buhari received from the war college when he attended was a diploma.

The US war college started awarding degrees in the Year 2000. By which time the ccurriculum was revamped to meet up to degree standards.

Again, I will suggest that you read about Masters Degrees very well.

There are many people who didn't go to any University for Bachelor's Degree but undergo professional/academic trainings in special/professional institutions (including Military Academies) and later went for Masters Degrees based on the Quality of the course contents of their trainings.


Former INEC Chairman, Prof Maurice Iwu is a classical example. Another example is Prof Anthony Emeribe

otipoju:
Keep deceiving yourself. I repeat you cannot do a Masters degree programme without having a Bachelors degree.

To become a commissioned Officer in the US army 99% you will have a bachelors degree.

So i repeat again you cannot have a masters degree without having a bachelors degree.

Sir, what exactly concern Gov El-rufai with the Igbos or more appropriately, this post?

He has just won re-election as Governor of Kaduna State, a State that's not an Igbo State nor share any boundary with any Igbo State.

Why looking for imaginary enemies instead of seeking peaceful co-extistence?

oilPUSSY:
There is absolutely nothing you can do to Igbos today that we have tested before..
If Igbos could not be tamed during the war, nothing else can move Igbos again..
If a nuclear weapon is thrown in Igbo land today with the intention wiping Igbos in the East away((God forbids), you haven't touched half population of Igbos..

Elrufai and his cohorts should stop creating problem for his people and their generation....Thank God for internet.. Everything would be there for everybody to see when that time comes even If it would take thousands of years

Elrufai's should not stop.. Personally I would like him to continue .But he should ensure that he and his generation and that of his tribes generation are prepared and capable to withstand the Doom's day which is inevitable

I strongly condemn the Twitter tribal bashing. However, it's unnecessary to be threatening other Nigerians.


'Igbos will be very brutal to their perceived enemies' . . .what if their Perceived enemies read this threat and decide to wreck havoc on you before you are able to do anything?

oilPUSSY:
So 1966 Coup is now an Igbo coup ?, .. When it suits you it you lump SS and SE together but separate them when issue of Biafra is discussed forgetting the fact that Nzeogwu came from part of SS that is having identity crisis concerning whether they are Igbos or not.
This clown should just shut up his mouth and make inquiry about history before typing rubbish on Media.. I am sure 1985 coup was also a coup against people of Kastina by Niger state military officers... Mumu

Keep typing rubbish by spreading hate speech, but one thing is certain... The day Igbos will pull out out of this unholy union even if it would take centuries, Igbos will be very brutal to their perceived enemies... It's a matter of time. Every history is properly documented for justification..

The post on Twitter can be made by anybody. There are so many real EL-RUFAI that are not related to Gov Nasir EL-RUFAI

nku5:
Everything that little bastard posted on Twitter can be refuted with ease but I am glad he has destroyed his father's 2023 presidential ambition

Sir, try to read wide before posting your opinions as facts.

1) The US Army War College run a 10 month full time on campus educational and professional training for senior military officers and they are awareded Masters in Strategic Studies at the end of the programme.
The programme will take 24months for part time/long distance students.

2) Military and certain professional officers undergone series of training/academic courses in special instructions , the cummulative course contents of which can be equal to or greater than first degrees.

With appropriate evaluation of the transcripts from these institutions, you can can proceed (directly or with PD diploma) to do Masters degree without having a Bachelor's Degree.

otipoju:
How can you get a master's degree from a non degree awarding institution.

How cam you get a masters degree without a Bachelors degree first.

There is a difference between a Degree , a certificate course and a certification

1. A degree is awarded by a University or Academic higher instituition of learning. With specified number of credit units needed for you to graduate over several semesters.

2. A certificate course is also offered by a university or higher instituition lasting anything from 3 weeks to even 9 months in a specific discipline but its in no way a degree.

3. A certification is offered by a proffessional body as proof of competence and knowledge in that area. ICAN , ACCA SHRM CP.

Which workshop?

How much do you know about the Military Education and training?

What do you think it takes to become a Major-General in the Army?

NwaliE01:
That's a lie. That's a certificate from a workshop he attended and not a master certificate.

So Strategic Studies of the US War College, Pennyslavania is a 3week course

TooMuchStuff:
When has 3 weeks defense course completion certificate became MSc....?

Buharideens and stupidity would not kee Nigeria......!

Sir, how old are you?






Senator Bola Tinubu was the chairman, Senate committee on appropriation during the I'll fated Third Republic.

Foxie:
I dunno why you folks address Bola Tinubu as a senator. He is not a senator and he has never been. What's with Nigerians and titles?

Aldebaran:
A man from Michigan is suing his parents, saying they threw out $29,000 worth of porn and intimacy gadgets he collected over several decades, a local Fox affiliate reported.

The 40-year-old had moved into his parents' home in Michigan after a 2016 divorce and left for Muncie, Indiana, in August 2017, Fox 17 reported, citing a lawsuit filed in federal court in Michigan.

But he said that when his parents came by to drop off the rest of his stuff 10 months later, 14 boxes full of adult toys, magazines, and movies were missing.

The man now wants nearly $87,000 in damages from his parents, Fox 17 said.

A screenshot of the lawsuit included in the Fox 17 report said the parents told their son in an email: "We counted twelve moving boxes full of pornography plus two boxes of intimacy gadgets, as you call them. We began that day the process of destroying them and it took quite a while to do so."

Fox 17 said the man then told his parents in an email: "If you had a problem with my belongings, you should have stated that at the time and I would have gone elsewhere. Instead you choose to keep quiet and behave vindictively."

The man's father said in an email included in the lawsuit that he threw out the stash for his son's mental and emotional health, adding: "I would have done the same if I had found a kilo of crack cocaine. Someday, I hope you will understand."

Before launching his legal challenge, the man reported the incident to the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office, but it did not file charges against the parents, Fox 17 said.

The man sent one officer 44 emails listing all the vintage porn movies destroyed, according to the Fox 17 report. Two of the titles lost in the trash were "Frisky Business" and "Big Bad Grannys," The Associated Press reported.

Pornhub, one of the world's most popular pornography websites, has weighed in, and offered the man a lifetime subscription to its premium service if he drops the suit.

Pornhub told INSIDER: "We're very serious about lending a helping hand and helping this family patch things up."

Bros park well abeg.

Nobody betrayed you!

In a democracy, anyone can vote for anybody. It's not compulsory for your wife to even vote for you...There is nothing like betrayal in the exercise of a citizen's right to vote.

Vote for any northerner you like and allow us to vote for whomsoever we like and stop shouting betrayal upandan.



Even, GEJ and the Ijaws have moved on. They don't call anyone betrayer.

Ex-Gov Timi Sylva of Bayelsa State bought Presidential form for Buhari and I haven't seen anybody crucifying him!

obainosis4real:
so you are proud of stealing mandate right? That even without election you can win as president abi... Though expect less from Agberos

Don't be fooled! this is your time to ally with the north and get what you want... Say the igbos are 5%er and our brothers in the south south are nothing in politics but come 2023 we will all ss and se will vote for a northerner come 2023. Do you want to tell me that the northerners would rig it for your favor? the way they rigged it for themselves in the past selection. You may be dreaming for thinking in that direction.

Receive brain

Betrayal is in everyone

Enjoy it while it lasts

We meet again in 2023

The North is NOT a homogeneous entity. There are different Religions and ethnic groups in the North.
About 15%% of Kebbi ,45% of Kaduna,20-25% of Niger ,50% of Nassarawa, 30% of Gombe,45% of Adamawa,10% of Borno and 70% of Taraba States Indigenes are Christians with millions of non-fanatical Muslims and Animists in many Northern States.

id911:
Mention hardline Islamists in those States please, could you?

Although this 'notice' bring out nostalgia of our 'glorous past' , however it also show the Genesis of our current problems.


1) Why was there ONLY ONE electricity company generating, transmitting and distributing electricity in this Country?

2) How did the Military Government who made the decree that created NEPA think ONLY ONE Government owned company can serve the whole of Nigeria .

3) The mess we find ourselves in today is an attempt to unbundle the monster created during the Military Rule through over centralization.

The Old NEPA/PHCN in Oshogbo used to announce at 6:30am on radio about scheduled interruption of power.

Bros, are Benue and Taraba part of the North?

id911:
Is Jolly Nyame not from Taraba State and Fr Moses from Benue? Did I say north or 'up north'? If you don't still understand what that means continue to wallow in your ignorance bro.

On the contrary, we should encourage any Nigerian( including even YOU) with the means and Political platform that so desire the Presidency to contest for it.

This will enrich our democracy and encourage serious minded citizens to come out and pick Presidential forms.

Why is Prof Pat Utomi, Soludo, Okonjo-Iweala, Tony Elumelu not contesting for the Presidency?

Maydfourth:
Mr Tinubu pls don't try it....Your political wizardry is limited to Lagos and Lagos alone oooo.You will disgrace yourself and your entire family if you try to venture to contest for the presidency oooooo....Awikokokoooo Ko loro ooo GBO oooo...

What exactly do you mean by 'North'?

Is it in the same North that Rev Fr Moses Adasu and Rev Jolly Nyame we're elected Governors?

id911:
Up north, there's a difference between being a Christian and an ordained pastor. Get that into your empt.y skull

How does this relate to Tinubu?

Is Tinubu a Nigerian citizen?
Is Tinubu entitled to nurse presidential ambition?
When does it become a betrayal or crime to aspire to be President?

Vote for whoever you like and leave Tinubu to aspire for any position he likes.

Good bless you , you have a good understanding of Medicine with the aphorism 'Never say never in Medicine'

Limitless72:
Well I wouldn't say it's absolutely impossible there's a very slim chance in genetics considering it could be caused by:

(a) genetic mutation i. e one way or the other the DNA( deoxyribonucleiacid) of the organism that contains the genetic information has been ultered either by microorganisms/parasite ( bacteria, virus, fungi), by drugs,or complications during pregnancy, exposure to other biotic and abiotic factors.

(b) recessive gene: Probably the one of the parent(s) father, mother, grandfather or grandmother had an AS gene...ND it's was probably suppressed by the dominant gene of either parent(s)...

(c) one of either parent had extra marital coitus....

PS: What's written above is my two cent.. There's every possibility that I'm completely wrong.. No insult pls, if you feel my conjecture is false, you should but forward a superior hypothesis that invalidate mine...
I did human embryology, bacteriology,genetics, organic chemistry et al as borrowed courses in the university that year....So I still have little idea...Lolz

When the Queen landed in Lagos in 1956 and she was given a warm reception at the Old Race course (Where Tafawa Balewa Square was later built over 25years later), the daughter of Oba Adeniji Adele presented her with a flower.
