Tackle Poverty, Not Almajirai - Okorocha Tells Northern Governors by iwaeda: 6:38pm On Jun 04, 2020
A former Governor of Imo State, Senator Rochas Okorocha, has faulted northern governors over what he described as the shoddy way they handled the repatriation of Almajirai to their home states.

Okorocha said instead of humiliating the Almajirai, the governors, as well as the rich in the region, should have transformed them through education.

He said poverty and hunger were the real problems and not the Almajirinci system as being viewed by the regional governors.

The former governor, now a senator, said this in an interview on the Hausa Service of the British Broadcasting Corporation monitored in Kaduna on Tuesday.

According to him, many of the governors and other prominent Northern elite today, were products of the Almajirinci system, adding that all the governor needed to do was to transform them educationally.

He cited his Rochas Foundation as an example of how the challenge could be handled.

He said his foundation built schools in Kano, Yola, Zaria and Sokoto where Almajirai and other less privileged children were educated and taken care of free of charge.

Okorocha said, “These children (Almajirai) need help; educate them and give them jobs. Who knows, one of them could be a president tomorrow.

“The governors and other rich individuals should help transform the Almajirinci system of Islamic education instead of subjecting them to humiliation. Many of our prominent people now were once Almajirai.

“Hunger and poverty are the problems. The governors should look at that and help resolve it. The Almajirai are not the problem.

“The Almajirinci system had its origin from the migration of Prophet Muhammad (PBH). When he migrated from Mecca some people followed him in search of knowledge and they were catered for. They were not left hungry. They were fed.

“Some of us have materials that we don’t need, give such things to the Almajirai and help improve their lives. We all have children.”

The statement shows that the people of Imo state are out of poverty.



Is it the poverty that makes poor man to give birth to 8 or more children?

The Almajiris were used & dumped.
Poverty & religion are the political weapons they use to manipulate them, inorder to keep them under control.
They will tell them not to believe in Western education, so that they won't be enlightened & be able to stand up for themselves while their own children go study abroad, from first degree to even Ph.D.
Northern elites know the right thing to do BUT they want to keep on playing god.

They are the same. Northern leaders think they are punishing the Southerners not knowing they are killing the future of their people.

They sponsor Boko Haram just to make money off the weapon sales and to make Niger Delta resources.

They sponsor herdsmen, almajiris, and bandits so they can hold the country down and drag us backward.

Very evil people

Okoroxha is wrong here , poverty is on the MIND and almijiri system is the root course of poverty.
If we can stop almajiri, a poor will limit his children to what he can feed and not to just born and throw away for alms

What's he saying.
Almajiri system =mental stagnation
Mental Stagnation contributes to poverty.
Enlighten them and see changes in few years. Those northerners are untapped gems to this country.

Okorocha is right tho...

However, tackling the extreme poverty causing this almajiri menace in the north is something that cant be acheieved even if given a century...

Moreso, poverty isnt the main cause, the cause is the inability of these northerners to limit themselves to bearing only children they can cater for.

These poor northerners are so heartles to be bringing children into the world and having the belief that they can always throw the kids into almajiri system whenever they cant cater for them...
