PARIS, APRIL 19, 2017: (DGW) Elder statesman and former Governor of the old Kaduna State, Alhaji Balarabe Musa has descended on Britain for the myriad of problems plaguing not only northern Nigeria but the entire country.
He criticized Britain while reacting to remarks made by the Emir of Kano that northern Nigeria was not only poor but also backward in educational development and would need at least forty years to be on a par with the south.
The elder statesman said the north was hard hit resulting from the misrule of Nigeria's political leaders.
According to Musa, “The North is truly behind, but it is not only the North that is in trouble. The whole country is in trouble. The North is not another country. The problem in the North, as far as education is concerned, is a gap which it inherited from the British colonialists. And I have estimated that this gap in educational development between northern Nigeria and the South is a 40-year gap.
“This means that the North is behind the South in educational development for at least 40 years. This shows that even if the North wakes up today and takes a revolutionary step to bridge the gap, it will take the North 40 years.
“You know the position of educational development in national growth. This is the reason why the North is a troubled child and has never allowed Nigeria to have peace, unity and progress. It is not possible for the northern people with this unequal human capacity to participate actively in their affairs. They will always be the source of trouble.
“I believe this problem can be tackled by the government bringing a free, compulsory primary and secondary education throughout Nigeria. The government can afford it. I think this talk of ‘North’, ‘North’ should stop. The whole country should come together and find solutions to these problems.
“We have had many presidents from the North but what benefits have they done to the North? Presidents also came from the South-West and South-South. In what ways did those presidents benefit their regions? None. Therefore, we need to sit down as a country and tackle our problems collectively.”
