The Sokoto State Zakkat and Endowment Commission has distributed N10.3 million to 86 District Heads to buy cows for orphans during the Eid-el-kabir celebrations coming up next weekend.

Malam Lawal Maidoki, its Chairman, in a brief speech shortly before disbursing the money, stated that the gesture was part of government’s effort to ease the suffering of the orphans and the needy.



Maidoki said that the financial constrains facing the nation had not stopped government from executing its good intentions toward a better life for the poor and vulnerable in the society.



He said that the money was routed through the traditional rulers because they were the closest avenue through which government could reach targeted persons like orphans and the physically challenged.

Maidoki said that government would soon construct Zakkat offices across all districts in the 23 local government areas, and urged the District Heads to support the commission’s tree planting efforts to improve Sokoto’s environment.

A representative of Sultan Sa’ad Abubakar III, Alhaji Kabiru Usman, the Sarkin Yakin Binji, who flagged off the disbursement of the money, commended Gov Aminu Tambuwal for the efforts to ease the suffering of the people.

He called on the District Heads to ensure proper use of the money to improve the lot of the poor and particularly ease the hardship of orphans.

Ok

Excellent..
. Sokoto state Governor normally does that..

The cows will ease their sufferings during sallah.
After sallah, they return to square one.
Nonsense.

this is a goodwill of misplaced priority...

The money could been used to cloth them and help prepare better education for the orphans..

Because the cow meat will NOT get to their innocent hungry-mouth..

it will all disappear in the old hands...with greedy eyes!

good one. They too deserve to feel d season. Wishing them all d best

Ok

Afonja

Why not help them with something more productive?

OldBeer:

Nonsense.

And how does it affect you? busy body

Men, why not buy these cows and give to the orphanage homes directly than giving all these our thief elders.

And they forgot the saying "teach me how to fish and don't give me fish"

After salah, what next... Back to the street as Almajiri.

I pray for my Muslim friends every day, there are the best people in Nigeria P.S If you are in Abuja and you kill ram, abeg holla at your boy

There is one last point that I would like to make on Africa.


With the Europe colonizing Africa and the vast amounts of aid that they and people in the west have given Africa for the past half century, in many places we have created a culture of dependence. they used their charity money to buy guns instead of buying condoms.

We keep people alive through aid with both food and medicine. We cannot see people suffering and dying when the world can help. This, of course, shows our human decency. The flip side is that because we are giving them just enough to live they are not growing the necessary heroes that can inspire people to improve their communities to prosper to the point that they no longer need aid. That said, there are many individuals that are trying to improve the lives of the people but they are overwhelmed by the number of people who do not have the necessary inspiration to work.


For example: In South Africa, they have a government program that buys farms and sets up African people on these farms so that they can produce food. They give support in terms of loans and agri education.


This is good, it teaches people to become self-sufficient. In reality though, many of these farms are lying fallow because the people have lost interest and only subsistence farm instead of working to create a productive farm to feed the country.

Africans claimed to have big land for farming. yet their children are dying of famine and deceases. The smart humans left Africa and went to Europe, Asia and everywhere else for better life or for quality education while the retards stayed behind.

we showed to them where their natural resources are, we help them harnessed and process it, and still buys it from them. basically there is absolutely nothing they can do by themselves. we have been helping them to clean their ass. we taught them how to carry shit before then they poo by the road side and brushes like animals. they walk unclad on barefooted.


is there anything we haven't done for Africa?, the answers are extremely complicated. Many attempts to explain fully a single symptom of Africa being a shit hole will inevitably lack the nuance needed to understand the whole interplay of the causes. However, I personally feel that there is value in attempting to address at least famine, though a complete answer would take hours to write out.

First, obviously when we think of famine we think of Africa, we think of the crushing cycle of extreme hunger that leaves children with swollen empty bellies and skeleton arms. The most basic cause of famine quite clearly is not having enough farmland or food.

In most African countries with famine, the lack of food is caused by a combination of other problems. In some countries, there is a lack of arable land (for a variety of reasons), poor irrigation, lack of access to seeds, poor soil quality from years of terrible farming practices, lack of food storage facilities, lack of transport capacity.

There is also the interesting interplay between food aid and famine. When a village in Kenya gets a NGO sponsorship, some terribly complex things happen. If you imagine a barely functioning village dealing with poor sanitation, poor education, and poor local water/soil resources then a NGO coming in with food aid seems like a great idea. However, the food aid often will make things worse for Africans. Suddenly, when before, everyone in the village had an interest in supporting local attempts to create food. Cattle and farmland would be highly valued and centered in wealth trades and social interactions. Then free food arrives. Few people, particularly undereducated people are going to bust their asses to farm when food is free, and few people are going to sacrifice to go support the farmers when they are getting free food from some NGO tent. So the agriculture fails and when the NGO suddenly losses its funding, the people have lost the ability to feed themselves.
This is just an example of the unintended consequences and complications of the interplay of forces in Africa.

and the reason we need to stop saving Africa.

Nice but what about after sallah? No orphanage/ school to make them productive?

+ corrupt people will still eat most of the money n its likely less than 1m will trickle down to d orphans

A very commendable move from the state..
But how about education or vocational skills for them?
l am sure these would help in addition to food

Please is this a good news or a sad news
For this hunger wer der the land

One mallam will corner the money

Remember how someone diverted bags of rice meant for IDPs and how free dates (debino) from the holy land which was meant for charity and not to be sold was sold in Nigeria?? We are our own problems in Nigeria that's why the north will forever wallow in abject poverty and breed even more Almajiris

Y can't they empower them instead. Me I don't like that Tambuwal thou

The lord shall be with them
