Wife of the President, Mrs Aisha Buhari, says the population of out-of-school children in the North is disheartening.

Mrs Buhari, who said this during the inauguration of her pet project, Future Assured Youth Education and Empowerment Programme, which would train 750 young persons in Adamawa, said the situation required government’s urgent attention.

She said, “The case is most disheartening in the northern states where insurgency, poverty and our socio-cultural norms have played key roles in further worsening what is left of the ruins of dilapidated structures, insufficient and poorly motivated teachers at all levels.”

She said education deprivation in northern Nigeria was driven by factors such as economic barriers and socio-cultural norms and practices that discourage attendance in formal education, especially for girls.

Mrs Buhari, who was represented by Dr Abba Tahir, Vice-President American University of Nigeria, Yola, called for sustained actions to tackle the phenomenon of out-of-school children in the country.

She said, “We cannot abandon them. We must realise that all development issues are interrelated and unless we figure out a way of addressing the root causes in education, health, nutrition, agriculture and economic empowerment, holistically. We may never create a balance in our development.

Jonathan did more for Almajiris than Buhari. Jonathan built schools in order to educate them but the same Northern elders went berserk.
The North truly needs Education. One needs to be educated to eradicate mental slavery.

Enough of the talk take action. BTW if those in position of authority keep complaining to us, what do they expect us the masses to do?

Aisha, I think these are something you wisper in your husband's ears in the oza room, and demand he promptly responds to it, that said.


The northern elites are not interested in their commoners havigngood educations, and their commoners are very comfortable with that.

I was telling people the other day that while down south, we are cracking our heads, hustling hard to pay children school fees, almajiris are comfortable in the IDPs, they were also encouraged, by always reducing their markals and points compared to the south.
The North did North realise that if they invest heavily in human capital development, it is their greatest human and natural resources, it is bigger than oil.

Jonathan even made moves to help them out of their pitiable conditions by building Almajiri schools for them, but like the popular saying, was a pig, comb a pig, it remains a pig.

Aisha please stop disturbing the peace of angry Nigerians, your husband has all it takes to solve that problem.

Let him be passionate about it the way he has passionately done nepotic appointments to northerners, the problem will come to an end.

Almejiri boy like bighead will avoid this thread

Tell me what I dont know.
Before getting into power where was your husband? Was he living in the moon? Before campaigning three times to be president, didnt he make plans for those almajiris?

Now he's in his second term, you are here crying wolf.

He is responsible for what he uses the opportunity and power to do.

Prosperity would judge.

We need Arabic education and a closer relationship to our religious inclination. Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran etc didn't acquire western education and they are doing well.

Religious education is the solution to our problems in this nation

They are so good at complaining when invited to public forums to speak, ask what they have done to improve the lives of those they are governing, you already know the answer.

Aisha should save her lamentations for the likes Hon Alhassan Ado Doguwa, the federal lawmaker from Kano who has 27 children from four wives and still counting

Aisha keep qwayeeet

Nigerians know this truth, but lies and insincerity makes us behave otherwise. God will have mercy on all of us.

This woman should spare Nigerians this lamentation but go tell it to her husband and his government.They desperately yarn for power which they have long got.5yrs down the line, they are only favouring their immediate cronies forgetting the downtrodden masses.

Sometimes, I wonder if she sleeps on the same bed with her husband. Because most her lalasticla lamentation should be for other room!

But, the only thing that disheartens' the North right now is "Amotekun"?



Brothers and Sisters, is it not obvious??

I am still wondering why a man will be afraid you want to protect your goods from marauders, if he is not part of them.

If the north gets educated like you just said where would their elites get their foot soldiers from?? Or have you forgotten that western education is Haram?

My brother, the matter wey u see so e heavy for mouth oh; if you ask me na who i go ask

Northern leaders and elites aren't sincere nor concerned about the plight of almajiris and the less privileged northerners.

Their only interests is in making use of these children and poor to capture power via rigging during elections and nothing more cos they only consider them useful idiots.

So these evil elements should stop disturbing us with fake sermons.

The same wicked elements have been in power at the centre for decades with no serious development and education to show for it in their region.

Yeye people.

Yes they went beserk o! I remember the utterances of babangida Aliyu then.

Almagamation of three entire different Nations into one big joke called Nigeria is .

Foot soldiers for intimidating, harassing and terrorising southerners into a subjugated role in the Fulani Republic of Naijeriya, FRN.

It’s time northern states start taxing people per child or they find themselves obliterated in future. High rate of uneducated and jobless people susceptible to Boko Haram and the rest. See how that fool Ado Doguwa was boasting about kids he doesn’t even know. People should have kids they can pay close attention to and cater for. Otherwise those kids become society’s problem.

Jonathan did nothing for the Almajiris. It was all politics of the northern elites n the GEJ's government of awarding contracts for non existing Almajiri schools n the northern elites hypocritical show like they care about the Almajiris n the Almajiri system. But they don't.

Jonathan was used by the northern elites. Stop calling him.

No solution. With the way people like the House Majority Leader Alhassan Ado Doguwa, Atiku Abubarkar and other Northerners are giving birth to countless children, there is no way out of school children will not keep increasing.

If.it is disheartening to Madam Wife of the President...then she would prevail on her husband to come up with policies that would put them in school, with improved learning facilities, schools, personnel and security..

But since those Almajiris are useful to them during elections , then this would just be another noise and rambling from Mrs Aisha
