Islam

Sangaya is a system of informal education predominant in the northern part of Nigeria (but its presence stretches across sub-Saharan Africa). Without standard structures to serve as classes, in the early days students usually are cramped in Zaures (the reception like structure that links to the inner house); where the number of students increases, groups especially within the same study level can be made and shifted to sit under trees.

THE SANGAYA SYSTEM

If someone ever told me that a Nigerian will one day engage in an activity that will make every Nigerian sober, I will never have taken such a person serious. Unfortunately, that was exactly what happened in the aftermath of the first and only attempted terrorist attack by a Nigerian.
