Na Helineus and Sarki

What nonsense is this?

The NYSC has outlived it's relevance

No, they shouldn't. They should hold a solidarity walk instead for the terrorists they had nicknamed bandits.

They protested against Trump's move forgetting that the monsters no longer respect boundaries. If Katsina can be overrun, then Kano can.

A failure will always blame others but himself for his own failure.

I repeat: If you think Wike will win this ongoing PDP battle, then you do not understand Nigerian politics. Wike's golden era with the APC is coming to a disgraceful end. There is a new Sheriff in town

If you know Niger State, just like me, you will know that Bago is a complete failure. He only deceive the public with 'too good to be true' policies and/or projects.
Bago is Abu Lolo pro max.

So that one location now represents the whole of Nigeria?

Disgraced party.

He looks like Baba Datti of Labour Party.

Nigerians, rise up and take back your country from Tinubu [APC] ✌️

Those doubting this statement by Buba Marwa definitely do not know who he is and his great impact in handling the NDLEA thus far.
Drug syndicates, couriers, barons, baronesses, and Escobar will see shege part 2 under Marwa

This is long overdue
Wike can now go ahead and marry the APC in full, after all he had been romancing them for as long as I can remember

And to what exactly does he owe the visit?

May his soul rest in peace 😥

Sirleo05:
The same air defense that was hugely overwhelmed by the Iranian missiles days ago, hmm. Meanwhile, good bizness for them; buying cheap from USA and selling by making profit to other nations. Talk about bizness within bizness.

So you know better than Greece that spent $3.5bn to purchase the same air defence system? This is hilarious

The Chief Servant
Talban Minna

The governor who didn't joke with education under his watch.

The first step to ending terrorism in this country is to arrest Gumi, incarcerate him. He should be used as a scape goat. When this is done, his footsoldiers (terrorists) will go into panic mode, and then the military should crush them once and for all.
Enough of this nonsense

My G.O.A.T 🐐

The elephant must fall tonight

Like him or hate him, it won't change a thing. Donal Trump is one president that no person wants to joke with on the matter of combat. Ask Hamas and Iran and they will tell you for free

D'eath to all terror!sts

APC can crumble for all I care.

Kobojunkie:
The issue with feeding has always been there. I grew up in the 70s/80s, and the Almajiris in Kano, Lagos, and also in Kwara back then were also mostly underfed. They were always a pitiful sight to behold when out and about. And that question has always been, why do these parents think or accept that it is OK for them not to take full responsibility for their children?

You will never find the children of rich Northerners undergoing the same traumatic experiences, yet it is normalized behavior among Northern muslims to have the children of the poor endure such a humiliating existence from an early age in some attempt to strip them of desires and dreams bigger than that which they were born into. It seems more like a system designed to mentally subdue these children from as early as age 2.

It is disheartening indeed.

Kobojunkie:
There are different reasons why parents choose to do this. I was sent to a boarding school at age 11 myself, because I wanted to have the experience. My parents sent me there while maintaining full responsibility for me and my developmental education, feeding, housing, etc. And my being at the boarding school during the school term was a temporary arrangement — approximately 8 months out of each year(in the absence of sickness-related breaks.

2. Sending children to boarding schools is not the issue here. Stop trying so hard to ignore the real issue, which is the presence of parents in the lives of children, no matter where they are.

> Same way the parents of those almajeris had their reasons for sending them for almajeranchi.
> Same way you returned home during holidays, those almajeris do visit home at set times. And their parents too do visit.
> Same way you finally returned home after your O'level, those almajeris do return home, except for those whose will choose to stay back and start up something for themselves. I knew an almajeri in my area back in the days in Kano. He didn't return home. He began the of business firewood untill he became very established. He later married a neighbour of ours.
> Lastly, I'm not trying hard to ignore the real issue. I have my reservation against the almajeri system and that is the fact that the parents ain't doing their utmost in fending for their children. I condemn their actions.

Kobojunkie:
By education, I was in no way referring to the formal/religious education they get from the mallam at the Almajiri school.

2. Your post, and the reality of things out there, is all too obvious that these children are left to fend for themselves the vast majority of their days. Serving them occasionally means that cannot satisfy them means absolutely nothing in this.

I cannot deny the salient point you raised in your 2nd paragraph. It is very obvious that the almajeris are not well fed, and it has become a major reason why they are easily recruited to flag off crisis.

GHoJes:
Which useless boarding schools are you talking about? what are they send to learn in such boarding schools? the Koran they could easily learn from islamiyya in every nooks of their parents' environment? Or what are you yapping about? almajeris in Abuja come from different parts of the north and keeping begging till some are lucky to grow into shoe making and likes while the rest continue begging and making more families of beggars as they grow or migrate to other parts of the country still begging not to mention many lost their lives before adulthood.

How many years of their existence do they spend with their parents other than the less than 5yrs from birth before they are tossed into a world where they fend for themselves from childhood. Be fooling yourself there?

Sir, you can actually make your point without insults or throwing jibes and tantrums I believe.
Now let's go by your logic: Can you tell us why parents send their children to boarding schools far away from home when they can easily enroll them in schools very close to the house? Are you suggesting that parents who subscribe to the boarding school system are foolish?

Kobojunkie:
1. We could assume that the stats provided in the OP somewhat reflect this alfa system— a non-prevalent system in South Western Nigeria, by the way —, but surely the report on the Northern states DOES NOT reflect the prevalent— 10s of millions are currently on the streets both in Northern and Southern Nigeria — Almajiri subscription in the North.

2. Children literally responsible for their own education, developmental needs, and feeding are abandoned children.

Fear of losing the one shelter available to them is palpable from your submission. Imagine having to live as a young person with such evident fears. If you have ever been homeless as an adult, you would understand why the anxiety of losing the comfort of shelter is reason enough why many homeless people plan their lives around their shelter.

The almajeris are not responsible for their education par say. Their parents enrolled them. Got them an iron boxes with clothes. They have roofs over their heads. I forgot to add, the Mallams do serve them food just that they are not always satisfied with the portions coming from the Mallams, so they had to beg.

Kobojunkie:
The report instead claims that this is about children living with their parents.

Almajiris, according to you, are not children living with their parents but children whose parents offshored their responsibilities as parents to beggar-pimps as part of a system that literally has them abandoned to fend for themselves. That is not a system of children living with parents. Their having a father and mother somewhere DOES NOT negate the fact that these are, in fact, abandoned children we are talking of here, children who literally live like they have no mother or father in the picture.

You didn't understand me sir. I never said their parents pushed them away in order to avoid parental responsibilities. Rather, they were sent to go learn of their religious beliefs and doctrines.

Please kindly answer this question: Is it right to conclude that a child has no parents or is a product of a broken home simply because he/she is sent far away from home to go learn?
