When you give birth to children you can’t care for, there’s bound to be a problem — Sani laments insecurity in the North

Royal Father, Sarkin Yarbawan Funtua in Katsina State, Alhaji Murtala Sani Adeleke, has said the North has produced way too many children than it could cater for, and the result is the current challenges facing the region

He also said the lack of education and infrastructure development in the North, has contributed to the region’s backwardness. This also, he said is responsible for the insecurity plaguing the region.

Adeleke disclosed this in Abuja, after receiving two awards, Doctor of Science in Business Management, from the European-American University, an Ambassador for Peace award, from the Universal Peace Federation.

The royal father also noted that the current insecurity in the region started showing the signs a very long time ago, because of the increasing number of children, who were not taken care of by their parents.

“Insecurity in the north is something that did not start one day. It is something that has been showing us the signs for a long time. We know that the north is so backward in education, especially looking after our children. So, this thing has been on the lips of everybody and nobody took it seriously. Now, those children have grown up and had nothing to do. So, this is what led them to this kind of a thing.”

Adeleke, who is also the Oba Yoruba of Funtua, advised Nigerians to always pray for their leaders to have the wisdom to end this challenge, instead of blaming one government or the other.

He continued: “For me, the solution to this insecurity is that we should all join hands to end it because the government is already overwhelmed.

“We should not leave it to the police, the army, or other security agencies. We should give information to the security to help arrest the situation.”
