DEVELOPING NIGERIAN THROUGH THE HAUSA; IBO & YORUBA LANGUAGES: Is Localized Nigerian Educational System Stupid?

One of the unique concept of the modern and ancient society is LANGUAGE. In every county, In every continent and in the world, the uniqueness of a people in development, growth and societal sustainability has hinged mostly on the understand of the interest of all by everyone in the society. From Japan to German; From Korea to France and From Malaysia to Singapore; the localization of industrialization has been embedded in the language or languages of the people. African's key problem and loss is that we have continually forced the foreign languages on our livelihood and developmental process, when it is evident that it has not worked, it will not work and it is capable of perpetually enslaving our people.

Nigeria exemplifies the African problem....The urgency of the Africanisation and the Nigerianization of educating our people must become immediate particularly for the Muhammadu Buhari's Administration. I am absolutely confident, that the Hausa, Yoruba and Ibo Language hold the Key to a proper National Integration and Shared Economic and Industrial Growth in the medium to long term. This Government must over the next few years design an education structure that is inclusive, effective and localized particularly through the institutionalization of the three key languages. I am part Urhobo and part Ikwerre, I am promoting the big three for the interest of the Nigerian State. I am advocating that once every Nigerian Child has the capacity to Experiment, Develop and Fabricate Thoughts, Concepts and Issues within the confines of these three key languages; we are capable of truly becoming an industrial giant within the next few decades. History is kind to me.

I am privileged to have a Wife who is Born in Kano State; was Schooled in Plateau State; From Anambra State and Served in Ondo State. She is a Graduate of Mathematics and She Speaks Hausa; Ibo; Yoruba and English. She captures it perfectly, when she told me that from the South, East, North to the West; The Children in Public Primary and Secondary Schools struggle to Learn and Understand Mathematics in English barely averaging 30%, but break it down in their language of birth and the same children averages 75% in performance. Something is critically being ignored in the Nigerian State. The foundational education required for sustaining the growth process of the Child is flawed.

The most developed countries in the world today utilized their local Languages in Technological Advancement, Economic Development and National Growth. Samsung's language of development in their factories across Korea and China is localized; The same with Nokia in Finland; Mercedes Benz and BMW in Germany. Growth and Development is a systemic function of the expansiveness of the Mind. once your mind is not expansive you cannot grow. Your mind cannot be expansive, if your ability to visualize is impaired. Your ability to Visualize is impaired when you are forced to think foreign. That is the whole ideology behind slavery; Colonization and Neo-Colonization.

The Violent Fulani herdsmen crisis will be greatly diminished if the host communities are easily able to communicate with these people in their mother tongue; Learning would be easier when we are taught in our mother tongue. Technological Advancement would be faster when we understand science in our mother tongue. National, Tribal and Ethnic relationship would be Better, Easier and more Friendly once we are able to speak a common language; Not Corruption as is obtainable today. This a short submission to remind us all that ENGLISH developed the BRITISH and the AMERICANS. It did not develop the Germans; The Japanese; The Koreans; The Europeans; The Chinese and Majority of the World. Why Should that of Nigeria and Africa be different? Is Education Stupid? Is Commonsense Common?

The Niger Delta: The Idiocy of the New Avengers and the Perpetual Suffering of a People

The Foundation of this Nation was not laid on Oil. Let it be clear to all who care to listen, the Future of the Nigerian People will not and NEVER be sustained by Oil. The Founding Fathers of the Nigerian State understood the Importance of Palm Oil in the South; The Vitality of Cocoa in the West and the Sustainability of Groundnut and Cotton in the North and all these stem from Agriculture. Today, we are suffering because the generation of the 1970s after the Civil War till date deviated from that path of Solid Foundation initiated by the founding fathers and in the Process messed-up this country generationally.

Every one of the Niger Delta Avengers is a Fraud just Like Tompolo and Asari Dakubo were and still are. Please, can anyone show the positive impact and results of the Militancy in the 1990s and the 2000s on the lives of the people of the Niger Delta, if not for the enrichment of a the fraudulent few? The Dreams and Visions of Isaac Adaka Boro and Ken Saro Wiwa are being betrayed by the functionally mis-educated criminals and Vandals parading themselves as Militants in the region. I am forced to repeat myself here; for 6 years under GEJ, these Criminals were lords, kings and untouchables in the Niger Delta and in Nigeria. Fed fat on our collective commonwealth and completely ignored the developmental needs of the Niger Delta people. The enemies of my people are in the Niger Delta. Our Politicians, Traditional Rulers, Businesses and Community Elders have no interest in the growth and development of the Region. How do you begin to explain the Tens of Trillions of Naira allocated in various forms to the region - 13% Derivation; FAAC Allocation; NDDC; Niger Delta Ministry and Oil Company Host Community Funds to say the least?

We foolishly think the North will suffer when we destroy our own communities and Environment. How dumb can a people be? Just because Tomatoes is scarce from the North, the whole country is struggling. Imagine when Cows, Yams, Rice, Potatoes, Beans, Pepper, Onion etc becomes scarce after we have destroyed our livelihood and people. Borno State is larger than the whole of the Niger Delta put together. The Niger Delta is about 70,000 sq.kms and Borno State is 71,000 sq.kms. The South East is 40,000 sq.kms. Lagos State is practically generating about 40% of the total Revenue of the Nigerian State today. The North not only has Strategic Gas Reserves, but also Crude Reserves. The Solid Mineral Composition in the North and South West of Nigeria is practically the Biggest in Africa. Who has cursed the Niger Delta People? Kini Big Deal?

 Your hatred for PMB is going to kill you soon. I will never advocate that you stop the Bombings. I will never advocate that the Military get involve. Let us Nigerians see who will suffer when all the Gas and Crude Infrastructure are blown and the People of Nigeria are confronted with Crude Oil to eat as raw food. We have collectively become a stupid people in the region. The Oil Wells are not majorly owned by the Northerners as has been insinuated; our Demonic, Evil and Greedy Brothers and Sister are the owners of some if not most of the oil wells in the region...What have they done for the people again?

Niger Delta Avengers and Your Sponsors; May your Stupidity destroy your Humanity...Not Mine, but Yours. Your Oil is our national Curse, But the Impact of the damage to the environment and people will remain your problem for a Lifetime. Not Mine. Enjoy the Pollution while it last, We as a People have earned it wholeheartedly…The people suffer when criminals are allowed to govern.

Global Crises 2016: Western Media, the Public Interest, Corrupting Youth, the Real Terrorism, Collective Consciousness - Prof. John McMurtry

Philosopher John McMurtry was asked to “co-operate with Ayatollah Khamenei in the Supreme Leader’s letter to the Youth in Europe and North America”....The questions posed by  a designated US enemy opened a new world standpoint on the US-led world disorder and the taboo depths of  shared crises as we enter 2016. 

What in general do the Western media hide and not let people know? In general, the mass media across cultures are propaganda systems for those who own or control them. But the Western media lead the world in silencing one ultimate issue confronting  all peoples on Earth – the despoliation of the world’s life support systems by transnational  corporate globalization. They talk only of climate warming’, not destabilization of planetary life cycles at every level. They promote only market-growth solutions which are known not to work. No-one talks of US-led ‘globalization’ itself as the underlying disorder. No science or story defines the common cause of the spasmic extinctions everywhere, the oceanic pollutions, the fish stock collapses across all waters, and the ever larger-scale looting of resources across borders. It is a deeper causal mechanism than even US empire. Transnational money tides increasingly devour and poison all that exists with even Communist-Party China destroying its own air to breathe and grounds of a human life.

The Ideas of Karl Marx are Redefining Political Economy, Class Struggles and Humanity Today - Alan Woods

The ideas of Marx have never been more relevant than they are today. This is reflected in the thirst for Marxist theory at the present time. In this article, Alan Woods deals with the main ideas of Karl Marx and their relevance to the crisis we're passing through today.

It is 130 years since the death of Karl Marx. But why should we commemorate a man who died in 1883? In the early 1960s the then Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson declared that we must not look for solutions in Highgate cemetery. And who can disagree with that? In the aforementioned cemetery one can only find old bones and dust and a rather ugly stone monument. However, when we speak of the relevance of Karl Marx today we refer not to cemeteries but to ideas—ideas that have withstood the test of time and have now emerged triumphant, as even some of the enemies of Marxism have been reluctantly forced to accept. The economic collapse of 2008 showed who was outdated, and it was certainly not Karl Marx. For decades the economists never tired of repeating that Marx’s predictions of an economic downturn were totally outdated. They were supposed to be ideas of the 19th century, and those who defended them were dismissed as hopeless dogmatists. But it now turns out that it is the ideas of the defenders of capitalism that must be consigned to the rubbish bin of history, while Marx has been completely vindicated. Not so long ago, Gordon Brown confidently proclaimed “the end of boom and bust”. After the crash of 2008 he was forced to eat his words. The crisis of the euro shows that the bourgeoisie has no idea how to solve the problems of Greece, Spain and Italy which in turn threaten the future of the European common currency and even the EU itself. This can easily be the catalyst for a new collapse on a world scale, which will be even deeper than the crisis of 2008.

A People's Failure to Launch is Equal Perpetual Suffering

My heart is heavy, my spirit is weak, my mind is empty and hands are shaking; confused, vexed, angry and feeling like a walking bomb killing every single local government chairman, every governor, every minister, every pastor, every imam and anyone who contributed to the monumental mental slavery of the Nigerian people. The destruction of the moral & structural fabric of the Nigerian state is enough wickedness to last generations; I am perpetually vexed; particularly with what our people have become. Our gullibility, our docility, our shallowness, our functional and educational illiteracy, our mental corruption, our developmental weakness and our leadership emptiness is killing me softly; it is draining me mentally, it is hurting me greatly and the revolutionary anger is so intense, that sometimes I feel like a walking time-bomb.

My fellow Northerners have spent so little time aggressively seeking workable solutions to the Almajiri menace, The very deep educational gap, the continuing Islamic extremist and fundamental ideology penetration within our youthful population, who are becoming addicted to violence extremism. But, they have been very vocal with the issues of hijab, issues of religion, issues of continuing gender suppression and the struggle over local and state governmental handouts. Our local and state governments have no fear of we the people, they do whatever they want, they know we will be religiously occupied with non-issues and trivialities and they have been prophetic to say the least. Oh; What a waste we are to humanity?...

My fellow Easterners have spent so little time asking their local, state and spiritual leaders to account for the Billions in Federal Allocations, The Billions from Church offerings, The damaging infrastructural problems, the failures of regional industrialization and slowing education capacity of our youths. But, they have been vocal with the fraud call BIAFRA, they have been vocal in their defence of CORRUPTION, they have been active in creating anti-Nigeria sentiments and they have been blinded to their uniqueness in national diversification; Oh; How petty can a people with so much industry, be on the national stage?....

My brothers and sisters from the Niger Delta have spent so little time seeking solutions to the menace of our environmental degradation, the massive poverty in the region, the educational backwardness of our people, the lack of industrious mentality and the continuing moral decay in the region. Trillions from Federal Allocation, 13% Derivation, NDDC, Amnesty etc has yielded more poverty, illiteracy, infrastructural decay, immorality and mental slavery. Tompolo and Private Militias are now the key businesses of the Niger Delta people. Bursting pipelines, destroying our society, terrorising our people and becoming mini-gods is the new reality in the the Niger Delta. Oh; How can we so cursed with a natural resources that has made nations so strong?


From the South West, we have spent so little time in addressing the leadership corruption of our politicians at the state and local levels, we have allowed all our leaders to loot in the name of God, used our churches to milk the poor dry, our vanity has fuelled our corruption of the people's resources. As educated as we are in this region, we are the most used. The N86/86.50k PMS pricing is least implemented in the South West; because most of our political leaders are the marketers and they are our church members and fellow Muslims. The people must therefore hustle to death, while we pray for corruption to forever be present in our daily lives. Oh; what is the benefit of an educated people?

If every state government in the north of Nigeria is forced to commit N100million annual to the menace of Almajiris alone and more resources to the education of the most vulnerable, it will go a long way in helping to start a process of real education change. If every state government in the Niger Delta commits Resources and effort toward the rehabilitating and the provision of special education for the most vulnerable people in the creeks of the Niger Delta, it will start a process that can change the region. If every state in the South East dedicates resources, time and effort towards the industrialization of the region, there would be no need for the fraudulent BIAFRA agitation. If every state in the South West enforces the new PMS price in the region, the most vulnerable people in the region will not end up suffering even more. If only Nigerians are really serious about change, our leaders will begin to be afraid of what the people can do in the face of this unprecedented suffering of 90% of the Nigerian population.

But, because we as a people have failed to launch; our leaders are just too comfortable perpetuating suffering on us in continuum. PMB cannot do it alone...What are you doing to change this country, one step at a time?
