How do you feel been snubbed in the presence of others ? 

How do you feel been rejected , victimized by everyone at every point? How do you feel been segregated from other human beings that shared thesame features with you?

How do you feel been debased and relegated to a low life?


Almajiri child has been conditioned to believe that He deserve nothing , we consider them less humans that’s why we feed them with remnants of our foods. We think He is less human that’s why we gave Him tattered worn out clothes to wear, we don’t even think he deserves a ceramic fancy plate, we easily identify him with his unwashed rubber plate.


He is a victim of circumstances who has no option , he would have wish to be in a different condition but yet we treat him with prejudice and contempt. He would have wish to be with his parents, eating from his mothers pot and sleeping beside her every night.



We cannot continue like this , search for knowledge is very vital in the life of every but under a very good condition and only then can it ( knowledge ) be acquired effectively and be used accordingly.


Tsangaya system of education has been the practice of the Northern Hausa people and it has been in existence for ages , with no modifications, adjustments and rebranding despite the level of development recorded over time in other aspect of human endeavors. 


Should we continue to maintain a system in practice 100 years back in an advanced world of enlightenment and massive changes ?? Should we continue to receive backlash from people who see's street begging as part and parcel of Islamic religion? Should we continue to leave as people of " Allah baku mu samu" ?


 Putting an end to street begging is not a fight or plot to end Quranic memorization, it is not againsing our believe and religion. It is just a means to call off an unproductive practice that has led to so many wrongs. You ever wonder were Boko Haram and other terror groups easily get the child soldiers they used in perpetrating their heinous acts??


To you Pro- Almajiri I can’t remember seeing you feeding an Almajiri child with Shawarma, pizza and a fried rice with coleslaw as you always did for your child, if you believe and think seeing him on the street is worth it why do you gave Him same treatment?? Why feed him with your nonsense remnants that are meant for dogs in many places , why do you also segregate him?



All the Islamic scholars that vehemently against an end to almajiranci send their children to organised islamic schools as well as secular schools , can we say that they derive pleasure in seeing other people's children suffer?? Is this fair and just??


et’s stop being hypocritical, it is high time we start advocating for the reformation and integration of the Tsangaya system into formal education and a total ban on street begging and child molestation.
