Almajiri Is The Victims not the villain
Hassan Ibrahim olamide
According to the section 41 in the Nigeria constitution, the right to life has stipulated that everyone’s are entitled to the freedom of movement without any forms of interference.
The word “Almajiri” was emanated from the Arabic word “Almajirun.” And the plural form is Almajiris.
It means “emigrant.” Expatriate, someone who has isolated from his/ her land for the purpose of acquired knowledge.
“Tholabuliilim faridotun alakuli Muslim wali muslimat” prophet Muhammed, (S A W) said that exploring for knowledge it is mandatory for both male and female.
A person whom have leaves his national to settle in another country perhaps, he or she might have been banished from one’s home is known as Almajiri. But our perceptions have really influenced it to be a misconception cause.
We should never forget that Almajiris are also children’s that have family too but their parental lives did not secured. Many of them were chasing away from home perhaps, by their atrocious ghost living parents. But why is it that people’s usually intimidating them in the amidst?
“Many of these children’s do not have access to education the only option they have is to do some casual jobs for surviving in the existence. Regards to their tragedy living ways of life some are even in the street found helping some yam and cake beans sellers.”
“According to national council for the welfare of the destitute (NCWD) has accumulated the approximately current number of Almajiris to over 7 millions.
The system presently deficit of avenue things. There is no amenities for them like good attires, shelters while theirs ghost living parents are in a good healthy. Who shall we fault? Almajiris, the atrocious parents or the government?
The most painstaking part about Almajiri is that, Majority goes to Arabic school and studying under a Malam still end up in the street begging, unkempt and dirty. They are made to fend for themselves and so many end being on the streets. Islam does not encourage begging which Is the bad side of Almajiri. Today parents are doing it to transfer their responsibility to the city. This program should be reformed but street begging, Hawking should condemned, government should rebuild Almajiri in modern way.
