Nigerian Head of state Buhari.Mr President; Copy the example of Late great statesman Bouiguiba of Tunisia.In the domain of mandatory scolarisation and womens right.
According to a UN report 10/ 30 million Nigerian kids are not attending school this accademic year.
Interviewed over BBC on the 23th of November 2015 a Nigerian official said more than 75 percent of this number can be found in the Northern states and that most of the rest who are found in the East and the Western states are school dropouts.
It means that in the North close to 8 millions children have never seen the four walls of a classroom!.This is a tragedie to Nigeria and to Africa.No doubt Boko Haram is sending human bombs to the neighbouring countries of Nigeria: Cameroon ,Tchad and Niger almost on a daily basis.They have got an infinite supply from a very poorly exposed and badly indoctrinated youths.These youths believe they are taking a short cut to heaven like this 10 year old child once caught with explosinve in a maiduguri market.He told his iterlocutors his parents had asked him to be going a head to Heaven.
Most of these parents never attended and also hate western education like this Nigerian man who arrived in the Cameroonian town of Kousseri to inherit his late brother and was very furious to learn his late brothers kids were attending the Government english primary school in town.He withdrew these kids from school and took them to Nigeria.
This is a very appalling situation if one can consider the fact that for close to 40/54 years of N,igerian indipendence power had resided in the Northern States and nothing was done by these powerful men to salvage the appaling situation of under scolarisation.
Nigeria and other African states in such a situation should as a matter of strategic urgency copy the examples of great patriotic Statesmen like Bouguiba of Tunisia, Sankara of Burkina Fasso and Uncle Bob Mugabe of Zimbabwe.
