Kobojunkie: This president does not seem to have any plans to improve education in Nigeria. What does taking us back 100s of years help with? So because a couple of terrorists want this, we now invest in them? Even in Saudi Arabia, you do not have this scourge.

omongbatic:

Yeah! Blame the president. What blame do you have for the failed SW governors, families who have abandoned their kids, and the urchins themselves who see nothing else to do than almajirism, toutism and agberoism even after growing up?

The Ebonyi School for Almajiri

The recent announcement by the Ebonyi State Governor, Mr. Martin Elechi, that his government would establish a school for the Almajiri has been receiving negative responses from both within and outside the state. Critics of the plan argue that establishing such a special school for Almajiri is the least of Ebonyi state’s problems and that Governor Elechi will do better to invest the funds he had set aside for the project to other pressing and urgent needs of the state.

Decries Ebonyi governor's plan to build an Almajiri school in the state As the Ebonyi State government proposed to establish schools for Almajiris in the state, the [/b]governor has been warned to be aware and alert, so as not to put the state
in great danger of breeding Boko Haram and the likes of Osama Bin Laden. The warning was issued by Bishop of Afikpo Dioceses Anglican Communion Rt. Rev.
Paul Udogu went he presented his presidential address during the Diocese’s second
synod at St Paul Anglican church, Afikpo.

He described the intention of the state government as a dangerous move to the socio-political, economic and cultural existence of [b]Ebonyi state and a subtle move to Islamise the state, adding that he would not want to believe that the state government was ignorant of the dangers associated with the proposed action.

TRAGEDY struck yesterday in Awka, the Anambra State capital, when a 20 -year old
commercial motor-bike operator popularly known as Okada, Mr. Onuigbo Nwode,
hanged himself for losing his motorcycle to armed bandits. Nwode, who hailed from Ezza, in Ebonyi State, relocated to Awka about three years ago and had been using income generated from the business to cater for his family members back home.

It was gathered that the motorcycle was stolen from him at gun point along Zik Avenue at about 1 am yesterday and apparently devastated by the incident, Nwode hung himself one a half hours later. The body of the deceased have since been removed by the police from his Ichida Road residence at Umudioka, Awka, and deposited in a mortuary.

Is the party on? Stop braying like a demented donkey.

I worked with one Alhaji(name withheld) from Ebonyi state a, full blown Ibo-islam convertee with four of his male children in saudi arabia, after successfully graduating from one of the almajiri schools in afikpo. What I find amusing here is, you fools don't even know the map of Ibo land.[b] Afipko is a popular town hosting federal poly, with extreme poverty level. [/b]One thing you won't lack in that state is punnie at low low price. Take time out of your Onitsha-under bridge spare store or the at Ayirayira-Aba market to enlighten yourself. Fool.

BlackPikiN:


I have been to Afikpo and that place is just like any other town we have in Nigeria.
You have the urban town and the semi-rural Afikpo
Kindly prove to me how the poverty level in Afikpo is extreme.

Rhino.5dm:
Prove? Very simple. Ask any Ibo you see hawking in PH, Lagos, Abuja or Enugu. This is no joke.
