MONITZ:
Haha, thought a former minister of northern extraction made a statement which suggested that southerners were in a mad rush to acquire education for nothing. Their eyes don clear? When other parts of the country were acquiring education, the North held onto the military like it was their birthright and thru it they were able to change governments upon governments thru the instrumentality of coups...

Somebody should pls tell Emir Dania that he can't ve his cake and eat it at the same time. The status quo even favored and still favors the elite in the north because it is the only means thru which they can continue to subject their masses to all manners of misinformation and poverty...

FriendChoice:

Secondly: I said the article above or are you blind? Let me help you quote it.

Finally: Your Wikipedia link is not working.

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.

The owner was into drugs around 1998 if I'm not mistaking. He built a mighty building at Benjamin, eleyele. But I don't know his whereabout again. Guess dead or serving jail term.

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.

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

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

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.

lazy to read?

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

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

AbdelKabir:
sorry sir this question is a mischievous one,

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

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

although he didn't study philosophy,

but see what philodophers and atheist did to his faith.
