Very amusing coming from a northerner who has benefited largely from the quota system imposed on the country by the north. If he were to be president today, would he support a constitutional overhaul? As long as merit is not respected in Nigeria, and handouts keep going to the north and it's elites the people will remain backward. And these r the people that determine to a large extent whoever becomes president as a result of population and not what they contribute to the nation's coffers!

WTF is Nwamaikpe when u need him!?

Don't be this silly and naive.
There is a difference btw Islam and Muslims in Northern Nigeria.Northen Nigeria Muslims have abused knowledge seeking in Islam as begging.

Know that Islam forbids begging and the way it's it's done in the north.

Do u see other Muslims around the world doing this?Ok just come back home,have u seen other NAIJA Muslims e.g yorubas doing this?

It's a fact that the north has this social crisis that needs to eBay addressed just like the agberos,the child prostitution and the child trafficking we have in other places.Period.

One of you will keep on begging until he meets Allah with not a bit of flesh on his face.

PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ﷺ) said:
Every time a man begs, it will turn into lacerations on his face (on the Day of Resurrection).

By Him in Whose Hand my life is, it is better for anyone of you to take a rope and cut the wood (from the forest) and carry it over his back and sell it (as a means of earning his living) rather than to ask a person for something and that person may give him or not.

PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ﷺ) said:
It is better for one among you to bring a load of firewood on his back and give charity out of it (and satisfy his own need) and be independent of people, than that he should beg from people, whether they give him anything or refuse him.
Is okay o. I haven't seen people begging in the name of Ogun, amadioha, or Okija but in the name of Allah or because of Muhammad (SAW)
Re: Nuhu Ribadu: 'Northern Nigeria Most Backward In The World' by phineas: 9:55am On Aug 16, 2018
They are not almajiri anymore they are abandoned kids, quite convenient for the parents and Imamns too. Watch them closely and you'll see a cartel of beggers in an organized begging system. If you give any kid money there's an older child sitting somewhere calling him to collect it.

Lastly girls are been seen in the pic to remember now children as young as are on the streets and some people justify this evil passionately while their own children sleep in the comfort and safety of their own homes

It happened in Brazil. The children became robbers commiting brazen crines and were killed by the communities.We must not get to that stage

The solutions are simple

Get the Koranic school agreeing to the almajiri system or Imamns to be registered. All children within their system must also registered.

They must also be able to account for the children with them.

Spot checks to be conducted on the Imamns and random children on the street. If the children can't identify the school or Imam they belong to they are abandoned children and should be taken of the streets. If an unregistered child with no home is found in a school call it kidnapping

Lastly NGOs philantropists and academic centers should copy the American university Nigeria system where the kids collate everyday for learning basic schooling, how to brush and take care of themselves. They are fed once a day and organizations like shop rite have been known to donate feeding items to the program. This gives them(the children) a chance in future.other organizations must join accredited centers in providing for programs such as this

Please remember abandoned kids are the responsibility of the community. To stem this ugly trend everyone must act now. All northerners in support must show us their child that graduated from the system.

buJu234:
all these started after the 1966 counter-coup.

b4 then, Northern Nigerians were among the highest number of people in school, infact they so understood the british system, that was why the british indirectly handed Nigeria to them.

tell me whom among the then Nigeria political class from North to South, that could beat ABUBAKAR TAFAWA BALEWA.
He was so good that even US Time Magazine put him on their cover page (http://content.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,19601205,00.html). where was ZIK & AWO then?

but over the years after 1966 (maybe as a result of the coup), the Northern Leaders chose instead of following in the steps of ABUBAKAR TAFAWA BALEWA, and show their people the paths to greatness that made ABUBAKAR TAFAWA BALEWA.

they decided to choose the selfish path, a path that today after 52yrs, they are among the poorest and less developed people in the world. i think they need to visit what made the then Northern Nigeria great and go back to that foundation if they want to survive and make it.

I don't know where u got the info that southern nigeria is the most educated part of africa. That being said, I do knw that d advantage given by d british to the north has been squandered by its political elite for far too long. Is 59yrs not enough to educate ur people on moving forward in d 21st century? It's only a mad man that repeats the same action over and over again while expecting a different result each time!

Thanks for sharing. This system was put in place by the Northern Elites to keep the mass ignorant of how they are abusing and terrorizing them. None of the current leaders care about their population.

I wonder how many people of the supposed most advanced part of Nigeria even know the meaning of the term 'alimanjiri'. Lol
The almajiri is supposed to a student in a spiritual sojourn to acquire knowledge , wisdom and virtures. In it ,a person seeking Islamic spiritual knowledge, abandons his worldly goods, properties or occupation to wander in the midst of strangers or outside his domain, and then depend on the kindness of strangers for nourishment and the basics necessities of life. In the process of depending on strangers for his daily sustenance, he learns the great virtues of humility, meekness and charity.
That way, when he returns back to his former life, he may therefore become the beacon of meekness, humility and charity.

But Nigeria, a dysfunctional society founded and perpetuated on Fraud, would inevitably pervert the almajiri discipline to rob little innocent children of the love and parental protection, in the very worst child abuse racket in the whole world.

Northern Nigeria is the major reason Nigeria remained underdeveloped and backward.

Their past military leaders created the dysfunctional system, laws, constitution and institutions we have in Nigeria today that is stopping the progress of Nigeria and when u recommend that we need to change these things for Nigeria to work, they bring out dargar and Yorubas support them out of fear! angry

How many northern youths are making wave outside Nigeriahuh None!

How many northern youths apply for skilled migration to Canada, Australia, NZL, Germany, UK, etchuh None!

Yet in Nigeria they use magamago to take all the juicy government jobs and political appointments and at the end they can't make good policies but end up destroying the system and every Nigerian suffers for it.

Until Southern Nigerians come together and demand change or total division from northern Nigeria, there won't be any progress, sadly cry
We yoruba muslims no go gree, we must unite with abookis. Dem tie our placenta join abooki muslims. grin
