There is no dressing that can turn a pig into something else. It will remain a pig. The Nigerian Almajiri tutorship system is illegal. It is unconstitutional and a violation of Nigeria's laws, the universal Child's Right Act and God's laws.

In this regard, previous and current administrators who have attempted to use the infusion of money to address Nigeria's abhorrent Almajiri child-abandonment program which has set Nigeria as the world leader in out-of-school children, are violating the law.

The urgent role and responsibility of state and federal administrators is to carefully dismantle the system, supporting families' welfare and re-uniting kids with their parents while placing those who cannot be reunited into proper orphanages and up for adoption.

Among other rights listed below under the Child's Right Act which Nigeria adopted in 2003, every Nigerian child has a right to dignity, to free Universal Basic education, to a family, to protection from forceful displacement against his or her will, from child labor, from exploitative labor and any other form of exploitation. The beginning part of this list can be read below and more in the appended source link.

The Holy books are not less explicit in protecting children from abandonment, exploitation, forced labor, begging to survive and all forms of abuse. These are the very customs Prophets came to disrupt.

'...and do not kill your children out of poverty; We will provide for you and them.' Quran 6:151

"Fear Allah and treat your children with equal justice." (Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim.)

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, as narrated by ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar, “… and your child has rights over you.” Muslim, 1159.

It has been narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet (PBUH) said: Beware. every one of you is a shepherd and every one is answerable with regard to his flock. The Caliph is a shepherd over the people and shall be questioned about his subjects (as to how he conducted their affairs). A man is a guardian over the members of his family and shall be questioned about them (as to how he looked after their physical and moral well-being). A woman is a guardian over the household of her husband and his children and shall be questioned about them (as to how she managed the household and brought up the children). A slave is a guardian over the property of his master and shall be questioned about it (as to how he safeguarded his trust). Beware, every one of you is a guardian and every one of you shall be questioned with regard to his trust.” al-Bukhari, 2416; Muslim, 1829.

Parents must take up their responsibility to shepherd their house and Nigerian government must immediately rise to its responsibilities and sworn obligations to uphold the constitution and outlaw the Almaijiri system for prosperity and God's favor to return to our land.

Bokoharam roots and family tree. As long as almajiris still exist in the north, bokoharam fighter supply can never be quenched. Kiss the truth!

I like how Dr. Issa rebuked the almajari system using islam. His legal arguement is ok but the issue is enforcement an domestication of said law child rights act.

Can the almajari system be justified via Islamic doctrine? I would like this to debated using Quran, Sunnah or Hadith. As it currently stands I say no.

The people that could have been saved by this neither read nor write as they are also products of same almajiri system.

The educated ones who could explain it to them will be furious to see this DR trying to disrupt their years of absolute Lordship.

But finally, the plague affects all Nigerians and not those greedy elites.

One prove is how we ended up with an unapologetic Coupist as a president riding on almajiri system population.

Unless you can't reason beyond today, even if we stop almajiri system today, we will still suffer the effects for decades. But if we don't, Book Haram will be a boys scout compared to what the resultant youth bulge will bring as a gift.

The urgent role and responsibility of state and federal administrators is to carefully dismantle the system, supporting families' welfare and re-uniting kids with their parents while placing those who cannot be reunited into proper orphanages and up for adoption.

This would be a huge undertaking would require housing hundreads of thousands of kids at least. The estimates say there's 5 million kids wondering the street. Then there would have to be punishments and laws regulating almajari since some will try an justifying under religion.
