5 trucks conveying almajiris intercepted in Cross River state



5 trucks conveying almajiris intercepted in Cross River state

5 trucks conveying almajiris from the northern part of the country were on Thursday May 7, ordered back to its start off point by the Cross River state government. 

 

The trucks were intercepted on Wednesday night at the Garkem border town in Bekwara Local Government Area of the state near Benue State, by a border patrol team comprising of Peace Corp members, civilian Vigilantes, Border COVID-19 Task force and Youth groups. 

 

The state commissioner for youths, Signor Omang Idiege confirmed the incident and he said most of the passengers were almajiris who did not meet COVID-19 protocols. 

 

Idiege said; 

 

“After a thorough check on the five trucks and discovered that most of the passengers, aside goods, were almajiri, who did not meet COVID-19 protocols, we had to force them to return.”

 

The State security adviser, Dr Alfred Mboto also confirmed that he has been briefed about the incident. 

 

He said; 

 

“We got a report from our security and task force teams at the Garkem border town yesterday night that trucks carrying large number of children from the north alleged to be almajiri were intercepted after thorough check, and have been turned back.”

Yes, they don suffer. Simply put, hospitals in UK and USA attend to the whites first before any other ethnic group with blacks attended to last. They hoard the ventilators for whites. Even most front line workers that die are black too. Fact is that they don't see us blacks as humans. So we are expendable in their opinion. Pls where do we run to? Out there they humiliate us, in our own country they rubbish us. My fellow Nigerians isn't it high time we come together to truly fight for our country as one? Or do we continue to languish in stupidity by the tribe

IWhose truck is it? Why send them back? Throw them in jail. This is getting ridiculous. It is not that they are almajiri or whatever but the point is there is no travel between states right now, where the hell are you going? Why have you accepted to drive them

I was about to say the same bro. "Send them to jail", but I just snapped out of it and told myself that's exactly what they want. Free food and shelter and cater. So what are we going to do with Al Majiri now?

At last everyone now knows that almajirai are a menace except their parents of course, who are still giving birth to more children and marrying more wives. Last last money meant for meaningful development will be used to rehabilitate them, the result of their parents terrible choices. The parents of almajirai should be punished wallahi!

What is the problem with the North? How can they reject their own and now sending them to the South to go spread disease.This is wickedness of the highest kind and the so-called Northern Elites won't see anything wrong with this.How can u create poverty and Amajiri system and now u want to push what u comfortably created to other people,instead of taking responsibility.Southern Leaders must immediately address this,they must send all beggers from the North back to their states before these illiterates will come and destroy the South just as they have destroyed their region.

Nigeria is a shameless country made more complicated by Northern disdainful attitude to any policy not initiated by them. GEJ came out with good intentions to ensure that these children have a sense of belonging by taking the Alimanjiri system under the government umbrella. What did Northerners do? They discouraged it because of tribal politics. In this Covid 19 Era, if Southern Governor's decide to take pity on these Nigerian Children and set up rehabilitation centers for them and even allow them to have an Islamic Teacher, before you know it Northerners will begin to shout and say their children are being converted to Christainity. Please all the 36 state governors should take pity on these children and set up centers for them, at least emergency centers, where they can be fed and healthcare provided until a proper plan is put in place for their future. Shame on you Northern Governors tossing helpless less than 10 years old children up and down. Where is your humanity. Ganduje and other Northern Governors only need them during elections. I can remember these same children in 2015 shouting Sai Baba! Sai Baba!! Changi! Changi!! now the same Baba and the entire Nothern Governors do not care if they exist. What can of a society do we live in? These are children who need help.

But why should the south drink Panadol for the north’s headache! Take the children back to their states, they need the support and care of their parents. See, if we don’t insist that the north alone look after its own, they will keep breeding like rabbits and we will keep cleaning up after them. Family planning must be compulsory up north like they did in China or else, let the children go back to their parents! Shikena!

Let the northern governors help them after all they are from the north. The schools President Goodluck built for them were rejected and turned to other things now they want their own. No southern state should take these evil humans. They have been taught a lot of evil by their mentors.

These are not ordinary children. They are taught to hate infidels and plan to kill them. Please understand, carrying and spreading Corona is a way to martydom for these mini terrorists. Imagine corona on your gate, shoes, suya, beef, fruit, vegetables, hawked goods, etc. The north are deliberate and intentional about destroying the South. Don't be easy prey.

Aside being a disease vector,They want to dominate every part of the country. Even at that tender age, wherever they go they will start reproducing there. Give them one year, they will gradually form a community and start looking for ways to pursue out the original owners of the land.

With all these revelations of almajiri in trucks traveling down south , even when there is a strict travel ban , the police IG have not deem it necessary to address the situation, at least give others to his men that have taken bribe to allow it happening, were is the president on this , this is a national health challenge, but the government is taking it lightly or a joke , maybe another political game , when will we Africans learn , we are looking up to the west that is passing through a worst situation to come to our aid , but we can't in force the simplest of a task , to keep our people in check, what is the actual motive of these illegal migration, it's not as if , they are going home to their villages,which will be understood, but relocating to go infect other group's, our governor's must speak up and wake up, if this situation were to be the other way round, those southerners would have been lynched as we debate, they are very quick in such barbaric justice,with the support of their koran

The Nigerian civil war, which was started in this same area called Gakem in Bekwarra Local Government Area, has since been forgetten by the federal government, only to be remembered, by sending those almajiris to them. Is this what Gakem deserved? I thank the state government for being proactive.

When Sanusi talked about this, Kano state governor got rid of him. They were not pleased he was saying the truth. If parents truly goes through the process of taking care of their children in terms of paying school fees, taking them for medical care, helping them with assignments, waking up early to get them ready for school, I tell you people will not give birth to more than they can handle. They have no idea what it takes to raise well behaved children that will succeed in the future. This Almajiri system is the main factor that enables the Northern Muslim states to breed children. It is a ticking time bomb waiting to happen if nothing is done about it now. These are the same children that will grow up with no formal education and with the northern attitude of born to rule Nigeria. These same children will be elected as senators, ministers when educated children in the South will be finding their way out of the country for greener pastures due to frustration that the Nigerian system does not work for them. It is not surprising we hear a northern senator say his greatest achievement is his 4 wives birthing 24 or 27 children and he is still counting. As he ever attended PTA meetings behalf of any of those children? Even the speaker dissed him by saying he did not know all his kids when he visited him. If the Almajiri system is a religious practice, why don’t they have it in other Muslim countries? My advice to states that don’t practice Almajiri system is to secure your borders. Everyone to his tent at this time. Let them suffer the consequences of their actions. Sanusi’s words is the ghost haunting them now.
