A Nigerian Facebook user, George Onmonya is concerned about the growing number of child labourers in Gombe State.


He shared a photo of one of the children supplied by a certain 'Doctor Bile Nuhu' from Gombe, adding that the children are mostly from neighbouring states.


Read his post below;

"Sometime last year I went to Gombe with Remi Adebayo and Joshua Matthew to track down Governor Dankwanbo for an interview. The one thing I noticed in Gombe was the influx of children shoe shiners like this one.


I called several of them to ask them where they were from and they said they were from Katsina, Sokoto, Kebbi, some from as far as Niger Republic and many just knew their village names and don’t know the states they are from.


I am sure they are still everywhere all over Gombe town, children, like this photo supplied by Doctor Bile Nuhu , carrying shoe shining box, roaming around the streets. Is this not child labor? I added this to the question I would ask Governor Dankwanbo anytime I see him. Is Gombe now the dumping ground of Almajiri or center for child labor? Allah ya kiyaye.


Even Chika Francis of AIT can testify I was in Gombe this period."

The Failure called Buhari is a curse upon the North. His policies has pushed a lot of youths to drugs and radicalism with untold consequence. Banditry is flourishing in the North west. The North East has already been overrun by Boko Haram while the North Central is under siege by Herdsmen.

If the failure called president is allowed to continue beyond May 2019..., I fear for the future of Nigeria.

Op nor be only gombe o,just like mtn everywhere u go.anyway I will still blame buhari.

Gombe PDP state?

thought dakwambo is trying on that side

This country is hard

He has put down the bowl, no longer begging to eat. He will labor to eat. He should be applauded. There is more that can be done to support his spirit for transformation....and thats schooling.

This must be a victim of Bokoharam. It's a pitty that the government is not doing much about the plight of those kids that are affected by the war.

this what PDP brought to Nigeria

Your frustration can only lead you to depression.

Buhari wasn't the president when your hopeless looting leaders like OBJ, GEJ, Athifkwu and others were looting away the future of today's children including yours.

election is next month, let's come enmass with our PVC to correct this error

It's painful to see and know that there are thousands more like him. I served in the North and saw many malnourished barefooted almajiri children begging. To think they have parents... I wonder what they do with the females.

The boy deserves the chance at a better life

But Yusuf rides a N100m powerbike past this boy everyday.

The North deserve what they get afterall, without the South it could have been worse.

If Nigeria divides today, this boy's condition will be worse.

It's like one of the northern governors specifically bought it's denizen's this shoe shining apparatus sef so let's just say the boy is making good use of it very well...

These are the kinda negative things that Baba is doing all he can to put an end to.
But the little things the lowest of the market men and women are getting from the government is even making some people sad already, they rather share the billions among themselves.
And you see some lazy youth supporting such CRIMINALS.

This is normal in d north

All I want to say is that, THEY DONT REALLY CARE ABOUT US

But some one built 400 almajiri schools and 12 universities.. was it not to curb such?

What has buhari done to make life better for them?

See how they rush , blaming buhari, as if all these were not on ground before buhari becomes president, it is a norm in the north, shabi this one na shoe maker, you go see kids knocking at your door, to dump refuse for you and get paid, buhari is really giving a lot of you nightmare, reason I don't know, buhari has already won the election, northerners a solemnly behind him, his people will never desert him, 9 out of 10 Hausa/Fulani rally their support behind buhari.

Tomorrow now this same boy go come become president of this country because of a game that involves number.

It shall not be well with all our politicians who troll Nigeria into set back like this.

This is what the North is known for

They're known for everything backward and negative.

Very useless set of people.
Sincerely i regret sharing a country with these people.

To think these are they people that cling to the seat of power as if it's their birth right, and yet they're still backward.

Thunder fire north!

y am I not surprised

children of the ruling region.... kai

being in power without affecting their own.......later they will be shouting igbos are no United..... United kor Manchester ni
