Almajiri

Almajiri is a system of Islamic education practiced in northern Nigeria. Almajiri derives from an Arabic word, rendered "al-Muhajirun" in English literal translation, meaning a person who leaves his home in search of Islamic knowledge.[1]

History
Precolonial era
This system of education started in Nigeria in a town named Kanem-Borno, which had a majority of its rulers widely involved in Quranic literacy. More than 700 years later, the Sokoto caliphate was founded by a revolution based on the teachings of the Qur'an. Sokoto caliphate and Borno caliphate started running the Almajiri system together. During this precolonial era, students used to stay with their parents for proper moral upbringing. All the schools available then were in a close proximity with the immediate environment of the students. Inspectors were introduced to go round the schools and after inspection they report to the Emir of the province all the matters regarding the affairs of the school. The schools were funded by the community, parents, zakah, sadaqqah and sometimes through the farm output of the students.[2]

Colonial era
The year 1904 brought a new twist to the almajiri system of education, as the British invaded the northern part of Nigeria. During the invasion most Emirs were killed and others were deposed. The remaining emirs lost controls of their territories, this resulted also in the loss of fundamental control of the almajiri. Boko was introduced, boko meaning western education. The British abolished the state funding of almajiri schools. With no support from the community, Emirs and government, the system collapsed. The teachers and students had no financial support, so, they turned to alms begging and menial jobs for survival.[3]

Present day
A report by the National Council for the Welfare of the Destitute (NCWD) approximated the number of current almajiri to 7 million.[4] The system now lacks things like good teachers and basic amenities like proper clothing and shelter. Most of the almajiri do not graduate and are left with the option to do menial jobs. [3][5][6][7]

Kuginzi:
Ok. I now know where your problem lies. You're having heart-attack because an Almajiri is your president. You'll continue to die of hypertension because Nigeria cannot do without the Almajiri. They'll continue to hold top POLITICAL post as long as we live. The more u hate them, the more successful they become.
Continue....

Nairalandmonika:

Isahalbash:
You think when they say; " Aboki" they mean only " Hausas?''


They used the word "Aboki" to refer to everyone from the north whether Christians or Muslims, Hausas or non- hausas.

The earlier you guys gather sense and stop hating and killing yourselves based on religion or tribe the better.

Isahalbash:
"they will tell you how one of the almajiri will become president" then i asked; which of the almajiris had ruled naija before?

which proved the assertion wrong.

Gyong:

Nairalandmonika:
So what is there that u cannot understand, "they will tell you"
They not me, not I.

Isahalbash:

Nairalandmonika:
If u say so, but it's something I have heard from different people, especially wen I was in kebbi state, u begin to hear stories of how almajiries are successful people in politics and various works of Life

WORDWORLD:
Very true what you have said. But from another perspective, and I am being very sincere with my judgement not trying to provoke any kind of sentimental discussion here. It baffles my mind how despite such as the almajiri system is mainly a Northern affair very badly managed but yet the kind of thuggery and cultism in the East and South and West parts of the country such as the 1 million boys and many more. What could be the reason for such criminal gangs in parts devoid of the almajiri system yet crime rate keeps growing higher.
