It is surprising why the north will be backward despite ruling this nation for decades. I think it has to do with illiteracy. A lot need to be done in curbing the high level of illiteracy. 1 Like |

Every man giving birth without means of taking care of such children is a criminal and should be jail. And that is the practice all-over the country with higher ratio favoring the north. The government can only be blame for not providing a policy to regulate child birth like China, no wonder the available institutions can not cater for our present population |
