Good talk. In my honest opinion, the situation will not change until we introduce selection of people into government, military, schools and civil services based on merit and not quota system. The quota system that they are enjoying is one of the reasons they don't take education serious. For instance, majority of important civil services from custom, npc, nnpc are populated with unqualified and inept individuals and they have subsequently succeeded in collapsing those sectors of the country. Same thing with the military and governance. I am yet to understand how Nigerians can entrust their country to illiterates. I am also yet to understand why we will promote an individual in the military or civil service based on quota system and not competence. Until we introduce merit, like in all progressive countries, Nigeria can never move forward 272 Likes 19 Shares |

Northerners don't care about education They just want to be at the helm of government with little or no knowledge about how government works. 274 Likes 8 Shares |

Wonder how a sane, 21st century man will comfortable follow Islam. All religion are outdated but Islam is still stuck in 1567 and too rigid, which is not suitable for a modern society 400 Likes 22 Shares |

How Igbos went from least educated to most educated tribe in Nigeria in 100 years despite the war should be studied by the north 1) how many community schools do you have in the north ? 2) what of religious funded schools ? 80% of the primary and secondary in the east is either community schools or church schools If people can come together to build mosques ,market why any they build road Mbaise people are presently planning to build community university funded by our people There is no excuse for the north they just dont value education 153 Likes 18 Shares |

Inability of the core north to separate religion from culture and politics is the bane of their backwardness. Their leaders during the post independence developed some strategies using mass procreation for population, building of mosques to attract funds from the Saudi kingdom and promotion of Hajj. They neglected building of schools solely to increase the class gap so that their children will keep dominating while the poor will be answerable to them. The fruit of those strategies are poverty, banditry, terrorism and illiteracy. 79 Likes 6 Shares |

In 859 AD, one Fatima Al-Fihri (sic), a woman-Muslim woman established the first university in the world, at the time, the Italian universities, Oxford, Cambridge universities had not started, the first university was still existing there, it is now in Morocco. And about 100 years after that one, another university was established, the second university in the world before the universities of Europe, in Cairo and just like the first one, this university was established by a Muslim woman, Fatimatu Zahara (sic).

“The North is in self-imposed educational backwardness because the interest of the North is Islam, and Islam is the greatest promulgator of knowledge.Divide the nation and let everyone go his separate way, they are hallucinating about a one Nigeria being administered based on Sharia. Yet the region is the most backward plagued by crass literacy, abject poverty, religious fanatism/radicalism, wanton bloodshed and killings. Thank goodness this solemn truth is coming from their own brother who is the sitting educational minister. Otherwise if it was someone else, there would have been a violent religious uprising by now. What a pity. 39 Likes 3 Shares |

Its actually a well orchestrated plan by Fulani jihadists led by Usman Dan Fodio to keep the conquered majority Hausa population subservient to the Fulani Emirs. Hausas had Islamic scholars and academics (long before the jihad which they claimed brought Islam to Hausaland) who thought in universities in places like Timbuktu and Sudan and were also big time merchants who traded far and wide and lived peacefully with their neighbours but all these were destroyed by Fulani conquistadors led by Usman Dan Fodio who actually came to study Islamic jurisprudence from Futa Jalon in Guinea and under the guise of bringing refined Islam (like America which claims to bring Freedom and Democracy to already prosperous places like Iraq, Libya, and Syria) using brutality, murder and arson and successfully cowed the Hausas into a cocoon of backwardness and gross illiteracy. The Emirs were packaged by Dan Fodio as both cultural and religious leaders and anyone who questions them or their actions is easily labelled as an apostate and infidel and the kind of sentence meted out to Deborah is easily carried out on them. The situation is gradually changing as more Hausa youths with access to social media are beginning to question the narratives and seeking answers to why their region is the poorest in the world and educationally backward. 45 Likes 3 Shares |

Hmmm Going through the writeups, I was so keen on knowing who said what. Thank goodness...a northernern, because the bigotry in Nigerians would have skinned any southernern that dear say that. That said, if you see the likes of Dubai and some of these countries with Core Muslim ideologies, you will understand that what nothern Nigerian practices is mere religion...Zero Islamic values. I won't fail to mention that their Christian counterparts in southernern Nigeria isn't doing great either. In fact, religion is not helping Nigerian. My take. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

If it was Peter Obi that made this factual statement, the whole twitter space would have been agog with calls for Peter Obi's head to be cut off. Bashire Ahmed and Adamu Garba would have been ranting by now. But now this is coming from one of their own, they won't even cough let alone speak. Ndi ara 27 Likes |
