AN Open Letter To The AL-MANJIRIS. by Cyojunior(m): 9:42pm On Mar 29, 2016 |
The broken home of the northern family.
In effortless ceremony, a man got hitched to his wife and
swiftly a family setting begun. In no time, Allah bless them
with a boy and joy raided the air.
Just as the boy clocks three years, he is escorted by the
father into the city to learn the Quran. Yes, a three year old
is forcefully pulled away from his mother to God knows
where! The father returns home to the embrace of his wife
in kulle. Putus -another baby is on the way as the first one is
left forgotten.
The mallam in his wisdom has been blessed by Allah and
using his economic dexterity, he sends the poor child into
the street to ask for arms. In the harshest of the street, the
3 years old boy learns survival instincts. He battles ruggedly
against unexpected elements. In no time, he becomes a
champion of the street.
Unfortunately, he is cut off from the affinity of family
bonds, he has no relations to share feelings with as this lad
is left for the street to mould him into her dictates. He
becomes vicious, angry and paranoid. To subdue his anger
against his mallam, he is told never to question his
conditions as it is Allah's will for him. He is told to hate
those who don't belong to his religion and with unmitigated
fury, he brews in anger against the people in the society.
With age catching up with him, the street becomes
uninhabitable for him. He can't longer beg because no one
give alms to an able bodied man. He resorts to crime-from
picking pockets to petty stealing and eventually to violent
crimes. He is completely a nuisance to the society. The lucky
ones amongst his peers are recruited into political thuggery
and others brainwashed into religious fundamentalism.
As the circle of the almajiri life continues, he is arrested for
any of the crimes above and made to serve jail terms. After
years in confinement, he comes out more bitter,frustrated
and hopeless. With no task to do, he takes to selling water
and ridding okada. Again, he continues his romance with
the streets.
Like a walking corpse, he moves around with fist of furry
and stained mind of hate. He is quick to start a fight
because he has nothing to lose. Because you are too
sophisticated to him, you treat him with disdain and quick
to pour verbal venom on him. In the blink of an eye, he
draws out his pocket knife and press it to your fine body.
While you writhe in pains, he flee into the streets because
that is where he belongs. You learn a lesson never to
engage the almajiri in a fight.
Suppressed eventually by age, he become weak in the
hustles of the streets and resort finally to begging as
curtain of life draws on him. As he battles to bid farewell to
his unfair life, he look back at the offspring of his groin -the
next almajiris of his legacy.

Just the whole truth. Sometimes, you see a family with no stable source of income with more than 4 children. Later, most of these children join the gangs for survival. |
