Mimy Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Dan Almajiri Few call him Dan Almajiri Other see him as a liability Swinging on a mournful tree With future full of calamity A child with a stolen childhood His maternal affection is doom There's no certainty of Manhood For his fate tremble in darkness He's roaring for help every door And crying under the hunger shade His quivering heart had endured The sorrowful tears he had shed His promising life flies in vain Bidding farewell to future bliss His dreams drifting in much pain For nothing of him is richly bless. © MaiJamaa 2018. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is beautiful and intelligently captured. It takes one who knows the truth of the Almajiri boys to capture it thus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dequeen Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Beautifully written!!! Really sad that they have to go through what they go through. An army of boys who feel their lives have no worth and are one day ready to die for next to nothing. I wish Nigeria knew what it was breeding by blatantly refusing to acknowledge this menace and profer a solution... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimy Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 It has almost become a normal feature, a cultural norm – children deprived of a normal and descent upbringing, roaming the streets in every nook and cranny in the north. The elites, clearly oblivious to the danger. The clerics, so consumed with sectarian war to even bother. The federal government, rather that banning the menace, is busy playing political correctness because the system is believed to be rooted in Islamic religion and Fulani cultural practices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
