Muslim Group Hails Jonathan, Blames Northern Governors For Being Indifferent by KEVIND: 6:25pm On Mar 15, 2018 |
The Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, has praised former President Goodluck Jonathan’s attempts at ending the Almajiri system through construction of schools in Northern Nigeria. The group blamed Northern Governors for showing no political will to end the system. The group made its position known in a statement signed by its Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola and available to newsmen. It said, “While we commend the Jonathan administration for building al-Majiri schools in some parts of the North, Northern governors must be held responsible both for the misuse and disuse of those structures. “Most of the al-majiri schools are lying fallow today while some have been converted to other uses. This is most unfortunate. The Buhari administration must also intervene by initiating a special project for the almajiranci.” It said that the number of children involved in the al-majiri system has been rated at over ten million. “Recent studies have revealed that kids metamorphose from this ugly phenomenon to members of street gangs. “It is strongly suspected that many al-majiri children are now commanders in the dreaded Boko Haram insurgency.” The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) frowns at the poorly arranged educational system which resulted in the al-majiri syndrome. “It is escapist, pernicious, retrogressive, counter-productive and inhuman,” it eplained. The statement said that Al-majiri as practiced in Northern Nigeria today was a bastardisation of the Islamic education system. “Although the word is originally from ‘al-muhajirun’, that is, migrants, a reference to the early Muslims who followed Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) from Makkah to seek refuge in Madinah in 622 C.E., it is now used to refer to child beggars. These are children whose parents gave them out to teachers to learn the rudiments of Islam. “Unfortunately the system has bread poverty, homelessness and hopelessness. It has produced a fi sabilillahi mentality plus an army of vagabonds and a battalion of bowl-carrying kids always roaming the streets aimlessly. It ends up breeding hunger, squalor and the resultant disease. “For example, in places like Azare, Bauchi, al-majiris tie bowls to their clothes and beg for just anything, anything at all. In places like Maiduguri, Borno State, they offer to carry bags for strangers and they are ready to assist in doing house chores for a whole day once a meal is guaranteed. Older al-majiris in Maiduguri area sell sachet water while some do scavenging and sell whatever they find to recyclers,” it noted. It lamented that in thunder, rain and flood, al-majiri children crowd up in open spaces to spend the night. “The few who find shelter share single mosquito-infested rooms with scores of others. They are prone to all sorts of contagious diseases. Their personal safety cannot be guaranteed and many fall into the hands of bad gangs, like the notorious Yandaba boys of Kano,” the statement observed. “It cannot be called Islamic education in any sense as the focus of the children involved is fully on begging, searching for food and making a living. It makes mockery of the institution of parenthood as envisaged in Islam. “The Qur’an commands parents to take charge of the educational, social and economic responsibilities of their children from infancy till they reach the age of full maturity and capability. “This age is forty years (Qur’an 2:233 and 46:15). It is therefore the height of abdication of parental responsibility to give out children to Islamic teachers without caring for the needs of such children and without paying the teachers for their services. No wonder the teachers end up exploiting the children for their personal needs. “MURIC exhorts Northern governors to come up with a master plan capable of resolving the al-majiri debacle once and for all. “This plan should take cognizance of the need for a census of all those involved in the system, buildings to be used as hostels, modern structures to be used as schools, adequate remuneration for the Islamic teachers, free feeding and capacity building for the kids, among others. “In the final analysis, the blame rests squarely on Northern politicians dead and alive for failing to see the threat coming and for their inability to evolve a means of combating it and bringing it to a halt. It may have been callous and myopic, but the present crop of politicians must not repeat the mistakes of history. Al-majiris must be reined in if the North really wants Boko Haram and gangsterism to become history,” the group explained. http://dailypost.ng/2018/03/14/almajiri-muslim-group-hails-goodluck-jonathan-blames-northern-governors-indifferent/ 6 Likes 2 Shares |

If we want to move forward in this country it's as simple as seeing beyond tribe and religion, admonishing and applauding when it necessary. I praise MURIC for this statement, and I hope that in this coming elections we will look beyoung tribe and religion. 99 Likes 5 Shares |

These same almajiris are armed with multiple PVCs as underaged voters to help install and re-install those who are partly responsible for their situation as leaders at the Federal level. It is a cycle that's tough to break from state and federal level. Once a group of individual benefit from the suffering of others, it become much harder for the sufferers to break free. 23 Likes 1 Share |

Simply a way of taking a jib at PMB, they know he won't be happy when he sees the message. Its a clear way of telling PMB that we hated GEJ but you are worst because at least we can say one good thing about him but not about you or any of our Governors 26 Likes |

The northern leaders knows that the moment the Almajari are educated .. Their grip on them will be lost and their relevance during election time is diminished .. Hence their lackadaisical attitude to make the education system work.. For once MURIC is making sense and dealing with the issue head long ... Hope this their new found sanity lasts 26 Likes 1 Share |

Believe MURIC at your own risk. They are an arm of the APC and have been campaigning for them. This is just psychology they are using on unsuspecting members of the public so that when they start to campaign for APC again, they will claim to have called out the government in the past. 8 Likes 1 Share |

I blame every poor northern Muslim parents. Give birth to only the number of kids u can adequately see to their needs. Stop marrying many wives and littering kids everywhere like rabbits. For if they eventually join Boko haram, your head will be use for shooting practice. 18 Likes 1 Share |
