Former presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba, has said the Almajiri system ubiquitous in northern Nigeria produced some of the richest men in the country including Africa’s pride, Aliko Dangote; as well as the founder of BUA Group, Abdul Samad Rabiu; amongst others.

The Almajiri system involves parents sending their wards to live with clerics in order to study the Qu’ran and Islamic tenets. The system has been hugely criticised as the Almajirai often garbed in dirty clothes take to the streets to beg for alms, food and other basic supplies.

Meanwhile former Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, amongst other notable Nigerians, have spoken effusively against the Almajiri system in the past. The ex-governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria believed the Almajiri system was one of the factors responsible for the poverty rate and poor literacy level in the northern part of the country.

Some Almajiri students have also been said to be co-opted into banditry and terror groups like Boko Haram by Islamic fundamentalists and ideological radicalists.

When asked whether the Almajiri system promotes terrorism, Garba said Boko Haram has no connection with the Almajiri system because of the dichotomy between Islamic denominations in northern Nigeria. “So, it is very unlikely that you have an Almajiri man becoming a Boko Haram,” he told The PUNCH

You need a medical attention sir. I wonder how you were appointed as presidential aide in the first place sir! Oh you are all in the same group! What a great country rule by unfortunate people!

This guy is sounding like a fool daily, these two came from wealthy families. Bua went to a good school

You forgot to include Bandits, Boko Haram, killer herdsmen, kidnappers and terrorists in millions sir. Shameless people

Garba has hit his head on the ground

Adamu Garba is a troll, and the best way to handle a troll is ignore them. Starve him of the attention he so desperately and skillfully seeks and watch him either into oblivion.
