..So, at what age( average) will the Almajiri be able to recite the qu'ran thoroughly and commit it to memory?

a. 9 - 12
b. 12 - 15
c. 15 - 18
d. 18 and above

People might be right if they term almajiri's under age voters.

chaloner:
b

dunkem21:


Thanks.

So it is safe to say that Almajiri's in the context used means underage voters.

chaloner:
yes sir.

Caseless:
speak English!

dunkem21:


Thanks sir.

So, is it also safe to say that the OP(torkaka) doesn't even have a clue of what he is saying

chaloner:
emmm well I don't knw the mind of the op , I'm jus answering the question as a good student of federal republic of nigeria .

dunkem21:


Again, Thanks.

There is a raging national issue where Kwankwaso rightly pointed out that Almajiris voted out GEJ.

Aproko gossip people come dey talk say, he actually meant underaged voters.

The OP(torkaka) wan twist our brain say almajiri's no be underaged.

Na im you come clear the matter say almajiris are underaged.

You dey drink Orijin

torkaka:


. . . . . . . . . . .There is no age range that tells the period when one is an Almajiri, . . . . . . . . . . . .it boils down to how quick you learn . . . . . . . . . . . .some are able to brilliantly memorise the Qu'ran in 10 years while others take 17 years . . . . . . . . . . . . .to you, the poor hausa boy within the age range of 3 - 15 is an Almajiri, while the poor hausa boy between 15 - 26 is an Aboki, not so?

lmaoooo thank you

@OP

Thank you for that education. We in the SW know, and the mischievous lagooners knew this fact before criticizing Musa Kwankwaso, but they want to use anything as leverage.

Let's assume that almajiris are underaged, do they automatically become rich and well off at the age of 18 or are they still on the street?

GEJ lost because he is incompetent and corrupt. No amount of phone calls can wash his sins.

And it's an insult for SS/SE to think SW would vote for GEJ just because he's a Southerner. What's our business with that? We vote wisely, beyond brotherhood and tribalism........we vote for the chosen, the most qualified for the job.

dunkem21:


Thanks.

My question is can we get Almajiri's from 19 yrs up?

. . . . . . . . . . . . .I think my earlier post answered that . . . . . . . . .the same way it is taking you several post to get it, so does it take some Almajiris more years to get it . . . . . . .

Caseless:
even at 50, we have almajiri. We have mallam as the teacher and almajiri as the student.


What kwankwaso was trying to say is, gej and his cronies referred to northerners as almajiri, now the almajiris have voted him out. Isn't that so clear? You call everybody north abokii or almajiri, what is now the offence in now saying thesame abokii/almajiri voted gej out?

Kwankwasobwas trying to tell u that the so called abokii/almajiri you southerners abuse because your son is in power have the power to kick him out.

torkaka:
[b]A lot has been said about Gov. Musa Kwakwaso's comment on Almajiris kicking Jonathan out of government, while I am not interested with the exact words Kwankwaso used, I find irritating, the deliberate and desperate attempt by certain sections of the polity to create a new meaning to the word Almajiri.

The word Almajiri is from the Arab word 'Almuhaajir' which means male migrant or 'Al-Muhajirun' which means emigrant, a concept which was derived from the migration of the Prophet from Mecca to Medina.

The word Almajiri in Northern Nigeria is referred to a mendicant (one who practises begging with religious affiliations), an Almajiri lives away from his home, and is under the custody of a malam while studying the qu'ran, in the process of studying the qu'ran, the Almajiri practices 'renunciation' hence an Almajiri has to beg for food to sustain his life, for the period up on till he is able to recite the holy qu'ran thoroughly and commit it to memory after which, the Almajiri leaves the malam.

An Almajiri is not an under aged person as certain people will now want us to believe, some have even gone far to say Kwankwaso's statement is proof of the northern elites approval for under aged voters. The same way Patience Jonathan erroneously referred to Almajiris as 'born troways' so is it people are now erroneously reffering to Almajiris as under aged.

An Almajiri is simply a begger who begs on religious grounds.

dunkem21:


OK, sir.

So, is it safe to say that age 50, some are not still able to recite qu'ran thoroughly and commit it to memory? ..and still beg alms

I will still need clarification from chaloner.

Dharniel:
begging on religious ground, is that rooted in the qu'ran?

chaloner:
like we can still hav someone at age of 22 years still in primary school, dat dosent mean we should increase d primary sch age range " 5 to 12" to cover dat of 22. No cnt be rightt . So by conclusion we re talkin abtt primary pupils begging and learning religiously btw d age of 6 to 15. Thank. Luv u all " north , south , east, west"
