Contrary to the prevailing stereotype that the northern region does not want western education, the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi 11, yesterday said the British were the ones who did not want to educate the North.

Speaking at the 60th anniversary, Founder’s Day Lecture and Magazine launch of the Kaduna Capital School, the Emir said that the northern region was defined and stereotyped as conservative and against western education. He quoted a statement by the secretary of states for the colonies as saying, “The purpose of the British administration in Northern Nigeria is to assist native administration to promote the true happiness and wellbeing of their people and not education and material development”.

He said, “The Sokoto caliphate was more literate than its learned pre-colonial neighbours and a social welfare system supported scholars and students across the caliphate. If many people can remember, Sultan Bello and Shehu Danfodio set up the first university in this part of the world where a lot of the bureaucrats who ran the emirate were trained in fields including Law, Hadith, Quran, Linguistics and Administration. Unfortunately, by the end of the colonial rule, the society became so backward that it could no longer compete with other parts of middle independent Nigeria. Because the situation is no better today, north-western and north-eastern Nigeria are considered the most education disadvantaged zones in the country and among the most disadvantaged areas in the world.

“The British established indirect rule and used local rulers to administer the colony. It was successful in northern Nigeria; hence, there is this false notion that emirs supported every colonial policy. In Kano, the Emir Abbas who submitted to the British following the civil war, tried to maintain the Islamic character of the Emirate despite colonial onslaught. He refused to compromise his Islamic position and because of that, many people thought Emir Abbas was opposed to western education. This was an emir who removed his son Abdulkadir who was the Ciroman Kano and sent him to a western school.

“Even on girls’ education, all the daughters of Emir Abdullahi Bayero were enrolled in Gidan Makama School in 1930. The princesses in Ilorin went to school before the princesses in other parts of the North. The families also never objected to the Catholic Schools. I went to a Catholic school.

“Emir Abdullahi Bayero pioneered many of the projects transiting Kano into the modern era; he established the first independent power plant and first water works in Northern Nigeria but people forget that one of his greatest contributions was in the area of education as he was the first leader who had the vision of integrating Islamic and western education. In 1928, he established the first school in the North that began the integration of Islamic and Western education under the leadership of Alhaji Suleiman who became the Wali of Kano,” he said.

Emir Sanusi maintained that any government that does not give priority to education and healthcare is simply implementing the anti-North policies of the British Colonial masters.

“The only thing that can unlock all the problems of the North is education. In fact, God will reward you more for educating the people than building mosques for them. The northern governors must begin to think of the 19 northern states as one economy, build institutions that will bring students together from across the Northern region”, he said.

Our minds are constantly creating whether we are aware or not. A mind that constantly feeds on fear will constantly mirror the world of fear and anxiety. " in the beginning God created the heaven and earth" would be better understood as " the mind created the heaven,Earth and unlimited realities".

The only way to trap a human or life form is to first disempower it's/his/her minds. The mind is the source of life and creativity.

This seems more like the idea of "solipsism", any difference?

Thank you for this part, some people speaketh out of ignorance and they will claim they are rational.

Actually, my beloved brother Kabir himself doesn't know what philosophy is all about. As a matter of fact, the course he's studying (Mathematics) is another example of philosophy ie critical thinking about a problem, asking questions to give a rational and probable answer to them. Without philosophy (quest for knowledge by asking poignant questions) we wouldn't have been where we are today as humans. Maybe he thinks philosophy is a branch of atheism or agnostism or some other things.. Smh

Demmzy15:
Chinese ehn! I wanted to do my IT with one of their construction companies, when I got there, I couldn't here a word and they can smoke the whole Sambisa. Their English is like Chinese, I was surprised Nigerians there understood them -maybe because they were used to them.

AbdelKabir:
What do you think I'm talking about when i say "philosophy"?

I don't know exactly what you were talking about when you said scholars frown at philosophy as a course, however, I presume you have no In-depth knowledge of what it is all about hence, the reason why you are asserting that the word has different context that you are using, when actually it doesn't. And furthermore, supporting scholars frowning at it shows you really do not know what philosophy is.

Philosophy generally is "system of beliefs" I don't know how else to put it.

You are wrong. Philosophy is not a system of beliefs rather quest for knowledge of human and their activities. In one general sense, philosophy is associated with wisdom, intellectual culture and a search for knowledge. How is this bad?

now philosophy being studied in the university, there comes a time when they start asking if God exists or not. This is not healthy, doubting about the existence of God.

Asking whether God exists or not is not unhealthy as you are trying to make it seem. and it doesn't mean one is doubting the existence of God. Studying philosophy in the university doesn't mean you have to drink hook, line and sinker opinions of a particular philosopher you are studying about in class. There are different philosophers and not all of them doubted the existence of God. And really if you had read the philosophy of Rene Descartes, his ontological arguments proves the existence of God. So you see, no philosopher will boast about the superiority of his philosophy to others, rather they try to answer questions about life to the best of their knowledge.

lazy to read?

Nah.. Too busy at work these days.

I don't know where i said jahm ibn sufwan frowned against philosophy.

So what about him, kindly tell. I will like to hear his story. And which scholars frowned at philosophy when actually we have history of arabic and islamic philosophy of language and logic?

you'll know that when you read about jahm ibn sufwan.

Got a lot of books on my shelf that i am yet to open because there's no time to read. I will like you to summarize his story.

AbdelKabir:
sorry sir this question is a mischievous one,

Pray tell, how is it mischievous?

"philosophy" in this context has an obvious meaning which is what I'm talking about.

What do you mean by "in this context"? Does the word "philosophy" have different meaning(s) hence the need to place them in different contexts?

And i don't understand the obvious one you are referring to and how are you even sure it is totally different from the one i think you are talking about?

Read about jahm ibn sufwan, founder of the jahmiyyah sect to know some of the reasons,

I don't need to read about him; i suppose you've done so and in turn knows all these reasons. Kindly tell us those reasons.

although he didn't study philosophy,

How come he didn't study philosophy and yet can frown against it. How can one frown at what you have no in depth knowledge of? I suppose when you don't know something, you try to know it instead of blindly frowning against it, no?

but see what philodophers and atheist did to his faith.

What have they done, and how is philosophy synonymous to atheism?

Subhanallah

What nonsense.

I didn't say he will never die, did i?

Dumbest thread I've seen on this section. I'm certain no intelligent member will oblige you in this display of utter foolery; only unintelligent featherheads like the OP.

I wish him quick recovery. All those wishing him dead will certainly die.

AbdelKabir:
The courses i think scholars frown against in particular are falsafa(philosophy)

What do you in particular understand by "philosophy" and why would the scholars frown against it?

Did Jesus say that?

Isn't Jesus God again?

I was asking based on how Jesus treated the posssed. During Jesus time, the law was to stone adulterers.

How is an adulterer similar to a witcg

Did Jesus do same? During his time, the law was to stone witches, did he ever stone those possessed?

He didn't stone any witch because there was no witch during when he was on earth, but in the Old testament, he ordered all witch be stoned to death.

So I ask again, where in the Bible did Jesus follow that verse you just posted above.

I've answered this i guess.

delishpot:
Lets assume we chose to follow their story of bird and blabla bla, Where in the Bible did Jesus beatup and stone the possessed? .

Exodus 22:18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
