When you lose your mother, you have lost a shortcut to Istijaba as a Muslim. This means you have to work/pray twice as hard because no one will genuinely pray for you to be better than them anymore. 💔💔💔.

Valid point! So now the elites in KD should now find a way of processing the maize to become corn flakes. Kd will get more VAT, more jobs, IGR among others. Have you looked at it from that angle?.
A farmer produces maize in saminaka and sells it to them in lagos vat free, they will make cornflakes in lagos with the maize and bring it back to saminaka and make him pay for vat if he is buying that cornflakes….

KATIN ZABE is unfortunately the elephant in the room which literally means voters card. EVERY Almajiri irrespective of age must have a VOTERS CARD. These voters card are usually submitted to Mallam, who will in turn use it to negotiate with politicians during elections. 20 #End.

Tomorrow is Monday. Fast if you are able to, if not earn reward by reminding others. Remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers (Q51:55). Baarakallahu Feekum.

First off, the word "Almajiri" was coined from an Arabic word "Al-Muhajeer" the one who travels(to seek knowledge). Secondly, because I'd be using a scenario it might vary from person to person but information is at least 80% correct/same. 1.

I like the fact that Muslims never forget their dead during Eid pleasantries especially the old. Yoruba would end theirs with: Olohun a f'orijin awon oku wa. Hausa: Allah jikan magbatan mu da suka riga mu gidan gaskiya. Love to see it.

The boy(s) then graduate to becoming houseboys in homes, shops and even transport businesses, stop going back to Mallam, save some funds and start business then Marry and integrate into the society but some are not so lucky so they end up being recruited by underworld men. 11.

Mr A(the father of the boy) is a peasant farmer with a wife(or 2) and between 5-10 children under 10. He needs to "declutter" to accommodate for additional children/wife(ves) because the 2 rooms he and his family occupies is now congested. 2.

They take turns to help Mallam and his family run errands and do chores and guess what? When they get GOOD money, clothes, food from begging then it's mandatory to bring ti home to Mallam and his family. Woe betide you the day they find out you are not complying. 10.

Totally loses contact with the kids and in most cases the Mallam himself. On the same day the boys arrive they will go for "bara" (begging). There are team leads to tag along with so learning the ropes isn't a problem. 7.

Sha'aru Ramadhan is barely a week away, as close as it is some of us won't witness it, some will start but not finish while some others will finish and not see another. We ask Allah to count us among those who will witness, utilise and maximise many more Ramadhan. Aameen.

Now do these kids learn the deen as was the original plan? I'm afraid the answer is NO. An Almajiri with 5yrs experience will not be able to tell you simple Fiqh of Wudhu/Salah yet they learn after Fajr, after Asr and after Ishai. 8.

The girls can be married off now/soon so they aren't the problem, the boys however can't marry yet and they need to "go". He has just done a bumper harvest so small change dey to marry, birth new children and get foodstuff for the Mallam that will "train" his boy(s). 3.

Their routine? .Sleep under the shed in front of Mallam's house.Wake up for Fajr and then karatu(learning).Go out for bara(begging).Come back at Asr for karatu .Return to beg.And retire at night. That's not all. 9.

Then heads to Maiduguri from Sokoto (example), in most cases he will have decided the destination Madrasah/Mallam. Please note that nobody ever takes their kids to the same state and that explains the "born throway" intention. 5.

Drops the boys with Mallam and the foodstuff. Not a grain of the rice enters the mouth of the boy(s). Infact their clothes that appear new are kept aside for Mallam's children. Then he returns home to have more children/wife(ves) and the cycle continues. 6.

Do not forget that our adhkar today since we are not on pilgrimage is "La illaha illala wahadahu la sharika lahu, lahul mulku, wa lahul hamd wahuwa ala kulli shayhin qadeer" while working, walking, driving, sitting, standing, everywhere and anywhere except the loo. Don't stop!.

So he decides to take them far away, this could be international in some cases but mostly inter-region(usually across NE & NW). He packs the few clothes the boy(s) have and foodstuff that is quite heavy (intended to feed Mallam alongside his boys). 4.

Kudin Laraba literally means WEDNESDAY MONEY. This is the returns that every Almajiri is expected to bring to Mallam. Based on age and experience as well as areas covered, every Almajiri has a target amount to remit on Wednesdays. So if you like steal, target must complete. 19.

So in response, I decided to do a thread on the PRACTICE not the INTENT of the Almajiri scheme. So as a caveat I'd like to acknowledge that the intent was to get an unfamiliar face AKA iron hand to help raise the boy child to be responsible. 15.

"Don't speak ill of the dead, for they have met what they put forward" - Prophet Muhammad SAW.
Like Muslims, when someone is dead, I believe their story is done and they will answer to their creator as I will do too someday. I still have life and the opportunity to do good instead of passing judgment on the dead. I was relieved Abacha died, I won't lie, but didn't jubilate.
