This 10-year-old boy is being exposed to health hazards selling poisonous insecticide in Sabon Gari Market, Kano. Below is what Mohammed Shehu who shared the photo wrote:

"I just met this boy this afternoon selling a very dangerous insecticide. He is barely 10 or 12 years of age. My concern: is this boy capable of handling these kind of poisonous materials?
On cross-examining him, I found out that the boy is 'Almajiri', and was asked to hawk these items by some guys in Sabon Gari Market. He lives with his Mallam at my neighbourhood. He is neither aware of the harmful effect of the chemicals nor trained to handle such items. I gave him some money and asked him to return it to the owner and never hawk such materials. This 'Almajiranci' must stop for us to progress as people. Allah ya kiyaye, Amee"

The word "Almajiri" is being misuse. You yourself is Almajiri . What I learnt is that Almajiri means "student"

Back to the topic,this happens everywhere even in my own State too. The poverty is too much that everyone is finding any way for survival. God help us all

No, almajiri is a corrupt version of almuhajir or immigrant. Student is Dalibun in Arabic, and in Hausa dalibi.

Since you are worried,,, why not take him along and do the needful....? Mtcheeeww

Not an Hausa but that was what a Northerner friend told me while serving.
