To buttress Gov Jeb Bush's position that strong families inside strong communities is the most viable anti poverty (even anti societal ills) measure, look at Hausa land and the Almajiri scourge on that land which lies in the foundation of the religious extremism prevalent in the Hausa culture of nowadays unlike in the past. The Almajiri system ensured that the Hausa masses in the past were literate in Arabic while only an elite group of the Yoruba were literate in that script. It came along with Islam and derailed the Hausa from what God created them to be. In that system, if I marry and have children, I will hand that child over to a Mallam who will tutor him and that child may not return home, he will be radicalised and will become a Muslim adult zombie, ready to kill for Allah at anytime. Go to Hausa cities and see them on the streets in their millions, begging for alms and causing trouble all over the place.


WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?

As posited by Gov Jeb Bush in his Washington post article, the best way of tackling poverty and I will add all societal ills is the family unit, a strong unit headed by two parents, working parents who are totally committed to the proper upbringing of their children while being propped up by their community.


Pray, why would a family propped up by two workers having two or three children not be able to build those children up into responsible adults? All children can even be put in tax funded schools financed jointly by all workers to reduce cost per capita. That should be the ideal globally and such an education ought to be compulsory.


So, the Hausa nation should take Governor Jeb Bush's advise by banning the Almajiri system, the minimum should be for two workers to marry, have children and support those children until they become RESPONSIBLE ADULTS WITH MARKETABLE SKILLS.


May God assist the Hausa nation to take this advise. I will also add that Islam and Christianity should be banned in Hausa land in favour of their traditional theology of Maiguzuwa.

They won't listen. Populating Nigeria with miscreants since 1914.

You dear friend are just extremely ignorant and clueless not only on issues in hausaland but in all issues in general. Your first paragraph not only shows your subjective motive but also exposes your utter lack of knowledge of what almajiranci truly is.


As to your last paragraph, first of all the adherents are called maguzawa and the religion itself is called maguzanci but the important thing is if that's the conclusion you came to you're even dumber than your past blunders made you out to be. I mean seriously, not to take away from some valid points he made but who takes jeb bush seriously anyway?


You can take your advice and kindly shove it up your arse, charlatan.
