Shortly before the Eid-el-Kabir festival
celebration in July, the United Nations Office
for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs
(UNOCHA)
in Nigeria published a report announcing
that an estimated 8.7 million people in
North-east Nigeria would need some form
of humanitarian assistance in 2021.
The report added that about 6.4 million of
this figure are targeted to receive aid as part
of the UN and partners’ humanitarian
response plan. But it said that as of June 17,
the plan was less than 20 per cent funded.
It was in response to similar challenges,
among other reasons, that a Malaysian
charity organisation, Yayasan Budi Ihsan
Malaysia (YBIM), instituted a humanitarian
intervention programme for the
underprivileged families during Eid-el-Kabir
festival in the country in 2021.
A Nigeria-based humanitarian group- As-
Safa Educational Foundation, has, therefore,
commended YBIM for what it described as
its support towards lifting poor Nigerian
Muslim homes during the just concluded
festival.
The group, in an appreciation message to
the charity organisation, and signed by the
secretary of the celebration committee,
Salami Mutiu, a PhD holder and lecturer in a
Malaysian university, said a total of 4,000
heads of cattle and 2,000 goats were shared
to the underprivileged communities across
15 states of the federation and the Federal
Capital Territory (FCT) to mark the
celebration in July.

The statement added that the humanitarian
programme is part of its contributions
towards extending the joy of the festival to
more homes.
The group noted that due to various
reasons including insecurity and the
accompanying economic challenges, many
families in the country are unable to feed
without assistance.
The statement added that it is in fulfilment
of the teachings of Islam to give the
havenots that the intervention was
introduced and thanked the donor for
sustaining the programme.
The statement reads in part: “With the
blessings of Allah SWT. We are very thankful
to Yayasan Budi Ihsan Malaysia for being
able to organise this meaningful,
humanitarian, yearly Kembara Qurban
(sacrificial programme) in celebration of Eid-
ul-Adha.
“This year, 4,000 heads of cows, and 2,000
goats were slaughtered in. The meat was
distributed to about 1.1 million Muslim
families in Nigeria across Borno, Bauchi,
Taraba, Gombe, Kaduna, Abuja, Kwara, Osun,
Oyo, Ogun, Ekiti and Lagos States.

“This year marks the second year running
we collaborated with As-Safa Educational
Foundation in Nigeria based on its sincerity,
trustworthiness and honesty in helping to
reach the needy and underprivileged
Muslims living in hardship especially the
underprivileged orphans and the homeless.
We really hope and pray to Allah SWT that
this program will continue in many more
years to come.”
The group said the intervention would also
further foster ties between Nigeria and the
Asian country.

Nice one during this pandemic any good stuff to support our peaple is heavily welcome.

Okay...


May God bless them abundantly.

Families there have been empowered with wheelbarrows and ropes and shovels; empowered with shoe-mending kits and slippers; assisted with food and water; and now, this.

Anything to help humanity.

So they are already marginalizing the so called Igbo Muslims in South East? No single cow was given to them ?
