President Muhammadu Buhari has
said that if not for education, he may have been one of the Fulani herdsmen
clashing with farmers across the country.
The President said during his
two-day state visit to Bauchi State on Thursday at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa
Stadium, Bauchi, where he inaugurated the 261 Nigerian Air Force Referral
Hospital, some roads and five tractors and some farm implements.
Buhari addressed thousands of
Bauchi residents in Hausa.
He encouraged them to allow their
children to go to school.
He said, “Make every effort to
put your children in school, plead with them to be patient and read hard. In
this generation, you cannot make it except you are educated.
“Now, look at the farmers
/herdsmen’s clashes in the northern part of this country. I have been telling
people that if I had not gone to school, I would not have gone into the
military and where I come from since my cows are finished; maybe, I would have
been involved in this fight.
“But because I went to school, I
got a job to do and because of that, desertification is everywhere, there is no
bush we will go to and cut down trees and destroy farms and the rainy season is
not promising. Because of that, education is the guarantee.
“You should strive hard and be
educated , get the education that will benefit you and the society , it is not
compulsory that government will give you what to do.”
Wish school sir? unfinished school? How is it not compulsory not to give people what to do as a government? do u mean they are lazy?
ReplyDeleteFor you not to be able to stop them from the senseless killings, it means you are lazy as a president of the country, also there is no difference between the herdsmen and your government
