According to our reporter, Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has issued a stark warning about the dire state of the North, condemning the staggering 90% rates of poverty and illiteracy as unacceptable. A detailed explanation of why people dream about writing exams or returning to school or eating, crying, seeing snakes has been published on NewsVista.
In an interview with Daily Trust, Gumi stressed the urgent need to break the destructive cycle linking ignorance, poverty, and disease. “How can we tolerate 90% illiteracy and poverty? This is unacceptable,” he declared, contrasting it with advanced countries where politicians fret over just 6% unemployment.
Gumi highlighted how the North lags behind Nigeria’s southern regions in development, blaming poor investment in youth education for creating a demographic crisis of unprepared young people.
His call to action demands immediate focus on education and economic opportunities to lift the region out of crisis.
