So what if a southern Governor builds a thousand churches?? Part of a person been sensible is leaving that which does not concerns him. |

This shows how smart they are. Saudi, Quatar and other Jihadist Countries continually fund the building of Mosque (Masjid) which they do not do in their country. They rather send their own kids to USA, UK and other western world to acquire Education. they continually spend money on us in their Arabisation Quest across Africa. OK ooooh. We all shall see. 2 Likes |

Islam is part of Sokotos culture, its good that the government recognize that. However with proper management they still have enough fund for the remaining sectors. Meanwhile living in Sokoto is less expensive when compared to some states in the south where their governor doesn't spend on religion. Meanwhile someone said country like Malaysia, Bahrain, Qatar and Co doesn't spend on religion.. . This is a big lie |

olayinka63:Are you aware of the appalling developmental indices of sokoto state? Poverty rates, infant and maternal mortality rates, poverty rate, literacy level, etc. Meningitis is still killing people in Sokoto, and you ate talking about living in Sokoto being less expensive. The N566 million would go a long way into solving some of these problems, instead of wasting in on building mosques. 1 Like |

wirinet: You do realise we live in a democracy, right? Were you there when the governor was campaigning? How are you sure he did not promise the people there 500 new mosques, which made them to elect him? Now that he's in office, what should he do? Forget his promise, and start speaking grammar to them? So he's only fulfilling his campaign promises. We are in a democracy. He's in that office because of that promise he made to build those mosques. If it wasn't something the PEOPLE wanted, he would not have built them. This is democracy in action. Leave the people of Sokoto alone, please. Nigeria is a huge country of 200 million people. Must we all think alike? There is enough room for all types of belief systems, practises, and lifestyles. That is what makes a nation GREAT. Is it by force that they must embrace IT, industrialisation, materialism, commercialisation, to the detriment of their spiritual practices? It is their right to determine what is most important to them. If we embrace the philosophy of Live and Let Live as a country, instead of being judgemental, it will make us a greater nation. |

If we were not operating a skewed federation where money earned in other regions are used to fund the idiosyncrasies of other regions, it will not have concerned me. Furthermore, the effect of illiteracy and poverty in one region is not only isolated to the affected region but is felt all over the federation in the form of terrorism, armed robbery, and other social vices. If Sokoto state earns it own money and decides to built sand castles with it, then nobody has the right to complain, but where we dash Sokoto money to develop itself so it can be independent, but decides to waste it on unproductive ventures, then I have the rights to ask questions. 3 Likes |

That explains why they will remain backward. No schools for women, men have loads of wives, children litter the streets begging in the name of religious schools. Happening whilst other nations are putting citizens in space exploration projects. Religion is not an asset in sokoto, it's a liability . Backwardness , illiteracy , intolerance and violence characterized their lifestyle . |

wirinet: The problem with this worldview is again, that you are imposing your values on them, because you see yourself as ''dashing them'' money. You still do not see yourself as being in a NATION with them. In a NATION that's united, it matters little where the resources are based. What if tomorrow, the oil and gas runs out in the south, or becomes inaccessible following some sort of natural or man-made disaster, leading to widespread poverty and economic collapse, and then shortly afterwards, untold billions of barrels of oil are discovered in Sokoto, which the nation then uses as a revenue source? And what if, as we all come to depend on Sokoto's oil, the people there start to DICTATE TO YOU how you need to change your lifestyles, and become more religious, or even Islamic, in order to continue receiving the money they are ''dashing'' you? How will that sound to you? |
Re: Sokoto To Complete Building Of 189 Mosques At N566m by wirinet(m): 1:31am On Jun 02, 2017 |
Rossikki: I am highly disappointed with your mindset, you talk as if you are still living in 19th century colonial Africa. I am not dictating to anybody how they choose to live their lives. We agreed to come together as a nation to help each other to advance the wellbeing and development of our people. Socio political entities are not form so that one part can depend on another perpetually for survival. Even within a family, the younger and weaker members will eventually have to fend for themselves. You still hold the view that natural resources leads to wealth creation and thus rich countries, but this is untrue. Countries depending on natural resources will eventually turn out poor and unstable. Most of the failed and failing states of the world are countries with huge natural resources. The only viable and sustainable long term resource is the human resources and good education and good health is the measure of human resources. If oil in the nigerdelta should dry up today, I would never advocate depending on oil or other mineral resources from other regions to sustain my people. We survived well before oil and we will survive better after oil. I expect states like sokoto to use the oil money that we dash them to built up themselves, build up their social infrastructures, so that they can be self reliant, and not perpetually depend on our oil or any other mineral resource to survive. This is what UAE and other gulf states had done, they did not use their oil windfall to build thousands of mosques, they invested in modern infrastructures, so much so that they do not rely on oil anymore. 2 Likes |

Ddaji: You are roaming. Those cheques were handed over to them, to use to run the missionaries schools. Anambra state government handed back most of its schools back to the missionaries for better management, since it was discovered that the glorious days of those schools were when they were managed by the Missionaries in the past. Anambra state government made those donations to them to enable them run the schools better, don't confuse it with your wasteful misadventure on mosques building by your bereft of sound ideas governor. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/11/obi-hands-over-1040-schools-to-original-owners/ 2 Likes |

Out of the total sum, N433 million was given to the Catholic mission and N300 to the Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion while N1.082 billion is in the custody of Anambra State Universal Basic Education Board for funding public primary and junior secondary education. Governor Obiano said the fund allocated to each mission was based on the number of schools that government had returned to them. He confirmed that funds released to the Church by his predecessor were judiciously utilized which encouraged his administration to sustain the policy. Money well spent on uplifting the educational status of the state. 1 Like |

wirinet: Yes you are. At least be honest. We agreed to come together as a nation to help each other to advance the wellbeing and development of our people. Socio political entities are not form so that one part can depend on another perpetually for survival. Even within a family, the younger and weaker members will eventually have to fend for themselves. You are making all sorts of assumptions here. Just a random Google search brought up these headlines on Sokoto: Sokoto approves N63m for tricycles, sanitation tools https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/general/sultan-inaugurates-trauma-centre-in-sokoto/200148.html Sokoto Spends N10 Billion on Education https://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2017/05/30/sokoto-govt-spends-n10bn-education/ ''Sokoto State Government has spent about N10 billion on the provision of infrastructure in schools over the last two years, Gov. Aminu Tambuwal, has said. Tambuwal said at a media parley on Monday night in Sokoto, that the huge investment was in line with the government’s declaration of a state of emergency in the sector since December 2015. ” These huge funds were expended on the construction, renovation and expansion of schools, at all levels across the state.'' ”The money was also spent on the provision of school furniture, instructional materials, training and retraining and other motivation strategies for teachers, pupils and students, among others,” he said. Tambuwal declared that the government had cleared the backlog of NECO and WAEC fees, as well as scholarship allowances for its students. ”Students studying both within and outside Nigeria are not being owed, as their tuition and upkeep allowances were being paid as at when due. ”The state government has also scaled up the level of engagement with the various development partners. ”In this direction, we will never waiver in routinely meeting all our obligations to them, all in the bid to further revamp the sector,” the governor stressed. According to him, the attention being given to education has made the people more aware on the need to send their children to school, thereby, raising enrollment, retention and completion rates of students including girls. He added, ”The state House of Assembly had recently passed the compulsory free education law and I will assent to it in the next few days. ”Under the law, parents who refuse to enroll their children in school are liable to prosecution; and parents can seek for legal redress if they think that their children are denied educational opportunities by the state government.” Sokoto state governor flags off ten important projects to mark Democracy Day Ten important projects were flagged off to mark Democracy Day in Sokoto state - They are: 1. Flagging off of Sokoto-IML Organic Fertiliser factory by Senator Adamu Aliero. 2. Presentation of 45 buses and instructional materials to public secondary schools by Governor Tambuwal. 3. Commissioning of the dualized Sultan Ibrahim Dasuki Road by Sultan Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar. Governor Aminu Tambuwal flags off ten projects as part of activities to mark Democracy Day and his second year in office 4. Unveiling of new library complex and blocks of classrooms at College of Nursing, Sokoto by Navy Capt Raji, former military administrator of Sokoto state. 5. Commissioning of Western Bye-pass/Keystone Bank road by Hon Emeka Ihedioha, former deputy speaker of House of Representatives. 6. Commissioning of Gidan Dare roundabout and Sokoto Furniture Factory road by Hon Emeka Ihedioha, former deputy speaker of House of Representatives. 7. Commissioning of Government Secondary School Gumbi.

Doing some good things. But you've read one article about ''mosques'' and all of a sudden, they've turned into lazy parasites who don't want to do anything useful except attend mosques - all based on nothing but your prejudice, ignorance and arrogance. You still hold the view that natural resources leads to wealth creation and thus rich countries, but this is untrue. Countries depending on natural resources will eventually turn out poor and unstable. Most of the failed and failing states of the world are countries with huge natural resources. The only viable and sustainable long term resource is the human resources and good education and good health is the measure of human resources. Thanks. As you can see from the above, the Sokoto state govt spent N10 billion on education. If they want to spend half a billion naira on mosques, let them do it and stop attacking them. Are the social cohesion and harmony those mosques will provide not part of development? Development is not just about material things. If oil in the niger delta should dry up today, I would never advocate depending on oil or other mineral resources from other regions to sustain my people. We survived well before oil and we will survive better after oil. It's not about if you will advocate or not. You will have no choice but to depend on Sokoto for your sustenance. Without them, you wouldn't be able to pay salaries, pay teachers, buy food etc. Nothing on this earth is permanent. One day your turn or your children's turn will come, to depend on another region for one thing or the other, since no man is an island. You would not wish them to be under the arrogant dictates of those supplying the resources of the day. |
