Asshurbanipal:
I live in niger state. When I see comments from people like Quotasystem here on nairaland I would rather bury my spoilt food inside the ground than put it in the dustbin for these almajiri to pick it and eat. They are already bragging how buhari will win because he is god in the north despite increasing poverty and the north being worst hit

My colleague who was a youth Corp member in Gombe state told me how the almajiris they used to feed,clothe and buy drugs for were the ones who led the post elections rioters to their houses.
After them,I still dash stuff to almajiris but I can never go out of my way to do things for them.

seunmsg:


What about the governor of the state? The president cannot do everything. Dankwambo has been the governor of Gombe since 2011, what exactly has he done for his people?

hope you said these during GEJ'S era

According to Punch Newspaper these children were seen picking foods from bare floor.
The excerpt reads
"Caption this photo.
Almajiris feeding from the bare ground after a minor accident involving a tricycle ND a food vendor at Liberty Junction, GRA, Gombe, Gombe State on Tuesday.
#Nigeriadecides #Nigeriadecides2019"

They are living within their means

am not suprised at all . it has always and will keep happening in d north.

These are the poor souls that would be mobilized to vote for Buhari in exchange for a plate of food but who can blame them poverty has been a very powerful weapon in the hands of the northern elites. They deploy this weapon only during elections and to cause mayhem when things don't go their way.
I have lived in the north so I know this for a fact. Those kids are just unfortunate to be born in a region where life expectancy is near to zero..

Maybe dats d free food dia president promised dem .

goaldynboy:


Shut it! My friiieeend!!

YOU DIDNT READ WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE FOOD FELL FROM A 'MAMA PUT' TRANPORTING HER FOOD WITH A KEKE TRICYCLE?!!

Almajiri does worse than picking food from the ground;

Some of them eat from dust bin!

Some of them snatch food from restaurant!!

I agree with you that that's how Almajiris live, but this particular picture was staged so that it can be politicize, Children were picking food from the ground, you could not stop them and get better food for them but you brought out your Camera to Snapped them, Almajiris live that way but it is very obvious that this was particularly manipulated and staged so that it can be politicize, Nigerians are wicked and Inhuman.

It's what the North want and God in his mercy granted them with all pleasure. Very shameless bastards. They produce the richest African man, they have be ruling and always ready to die to keep ruling Nigeria, the bloody midget animal called Hell Rufail is from that same region he can not see things like this never all he can see is to organize fulani killings now see their children eating from the ground. Very shameless people.

Jonathan administration did all they could to help these helpless children the moment he left power these useless bastards called Northern elders and politicians plus the lifeless, useless demential.president called buhari kicked against it and all Jonathan did to help these kids was shut down now see the shame it has brought.

Buhari I dey vex for you. I hate you with passion.

haladadon:
I asked one northerner and he said it's not Buhari decisions in Aso Rock that cause hunger. That it is God that cause hunger. I no fit argue again

It's so saddening that the illiterates which are more in population and the ones deciding the future of Nigeria Give them a plate of tuwo and they do whatever you ask. That's why they're used mostly to vote in the north.

sirusX:
I wonder when the North would be developed. The quota wahala just goes to show that it is a system that the government doesn't have plan on changing

There are bright children up North, which I have seen from my brief encounter in some states.

I just hope they can transcend from the past to a future where majority of the people in the North can compete globally in terms of their well-being, education and economy

Talent is evenly distributed to humans by God. The challenge is that environment and society determines the extent to which the talent manifests.

Same minors will line up in their thousands to vote for 4+4. Let them Enjoy

this 1 na normal thing 4 north Na...

Headquarters of poverty. I am not surprised even.

They keeping giving birth like pigs. Even people in war torn countries don't suffer like this. Tweh!

denjjy:
If I should secure a good job after my service year here in Zamfara, I will go back to the state and consult both parentS and Government to release at least 3 of the Almajiris to me, I will relocate them to my state and fund their education from primarily school to tertiary institution. May God Almighty help me to fulfil this promise. I believe Almajiris are nation builder and bunches talents lying fallow.

I hope you're not talking of igbo land: We don't want a breed of Shekau!

sassysure:
I don't pity them.

My only problem is that I share the same country with them and their politicians who made them this way.

And you are among the supporters of those politicians that looted what would have been used to better their lives EG Atiku

They celebrate poverty and illiteracy as an achievement in the north and anyone who tries to rescue them is tagged as an enemy of the north...it's unfortunately we do share the same country!!

Nigeria is heading towards quantum ridiculousness with the crazy people she gives political powers and the crazy population explosion.

krattoss:
but they produce most of our local foods,and also food is said to be cheaper over there,how come they re starved ?

These airhead northerners go around telling people how they feed the rest of Nigerians.

According to statistics, Taraba and Benue produce almost all the cash crops you see coming from the North. Nothing grows in a desert.

Emmanuel226:
i'm on my way to inec office

To do what?

grandstar:

How many Almajaris would have benefited from those schools? A drop in the bucket

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a step.

Don't be a doubting Thomas.

Th dividend of four years trial of buhari government n as for d next four years of consideration they will b eating their own excreta.anumanu

yes u are right but there are d right thinking ones in d north who are sick n tired of all this shit believed me

XaintJoel20:

What was needed was a cheap mass education system that was also qualitative that would have captured as many almajaris as possible

Also a school period of 3- 6years should have been the aim.

The Jonathan style Almajiri schools would have turned out like the Federal Government colleges who still only benefit a few students yearly after so many decades in existence

This is really bad and condemnable. We have very useless and selfish men in the place of authority.. That one is not even about region oh.. But again these almajiris are real nuisance and the poor uninformed people give birth to children they cannot cater for and push them into the streets in the name of almajiris. See the result, these same people are ready to cause mayhem and make trouble once their so called leaders tell them to. These are children who should be under the care of their parents ooh..

dlondonbadboy:
SaiBaba

Since you have been saying Sai baba, all you have ever achieved is to eat from bare floor. If your child is among those almanjiri boys, will you still say this. Then maybe your head will be correct

Asshurbanipal:

Those guys are something else. The enlightened ones seem to love it that way for their political gain

Including the likes of seunmsg, who won't mind worshipping a tout if that tout supports his party.

He claims he is educated. Yet, his only achievement after years in a Nigerian higher institution is to sing the praises of a tout.

And one starts wondering what manner of education he has. Education that can't differentiate blindness from senses.

They never see anything yet, next level they will be eating stones from the ground.
