Have you asked the right questions before sending that child of yours to study outside Nigeria. Having a missing person case outside Nigeria can be disturbing.

“Almajirci” is like #trafficking because of the servitude and exploitation that goes along with it. though not all Koran teachers in the northern nigeria are involved in this practice, which is becoming old-fashioned, it remains common among teachers in the rural areas.

The rationale for traveling to the city, the quest of islamic knowledge, is often forgotten when hunger and neglect begin to take their toll. Unfortunately, both the benefactors and the pupils are often unaware that this constitutes an aberration from international norms.

Consequently, both the Malam&his pupils often rely on the benevolence of the community in which they happen to be guests. in most instances, the Malam lives on the support of his pupils who beg or perform menial tasks for food sellers and shopkeepers all over #northernnigeria.

The pupils learn from the scholar as they move from one town to another. they are often inadequately prepared for such a journey. the Malam is frequently too poor to sustain his family or the pupils entrusted to him. #Traffickingstories #trafficking

It can , however, involve the movement of large numbers of pupils, often teenage males, by an islamic teacher (or Malam) during the dry season from their hometown to somewhere far away from home and sometimes even unknown to the parents. #trafficking #humantrafficking

Traditional scholarship, “almajirci”, when conducted in the pupil’s hometown, is subject to parental care and does not fall under the definition of #trafficking . #Endhumantrafficking #Traffickingstories

[Ending Human Trafficking In Nigeria @EH_TRAFFICKING]

Some forms of #trafficking are underplayed and not typically regarded as #humantrafficking . In northern nigeria, for example, human trafficking is often disguised as institutionalized migration known as “peripatetic scholarship” or “almajirci”. #Traffickingstories

Upon delivery the babies are sold to couples who pay a premium for the babies of their choice. The young mothers are paid off after having signed papers repudiating their claims on the babies or swearing oaths of secrecy. #traffickedpersons #babyfactory #trafficking

In States like abia, ebonyi and lagos, many cases have been reported to clinics, doctors, nurses and orphanages who help pregnant teenagers and other women who do not want to keep their babies after birth. they care for these women during pregnancy and provide money and shelter.

These #trafficked children who lead beggars across the major cities of nigeria are denied access to formal education and proper social upbringing.
Both internal and cross border #trafficking both have grave consequences. #Traffickingstories #humantrafficking

[Ending Human Trafficking In Nigeria @EH_TRAFFICKING]

They are forced to do this for practically nothing or without any financial reward other than the daily meals that may be handed out to them along the streets. #humantrafficking #traffickedpersons #Traffickingstories

Furthermore, experienced adult beggars #traffick children under their custody, these children are then compelled to lead the handicapped into organized begging. #end #trafficking #humantrafficking #traffickedpersons #AfricanUnion #Africa #auecosoccproject

There are rampant abuses involved with this kind of arrangement. the ‘investor’ only releases the #trafficked person when he has made sufficient profit. the physically challenged are often carried on their back, in a wheel burrow or wheel chair and taken around town.

[Ending Human Trafficking In Nigeria @EH_TRAFFICKING]

Physically challenged or handicapped persons are hired on a daily basis for begging assignments with a token fee of often no more than naira 500 (some US $3.8). #HumanTrafficking #traffickedpersons #Traffickingstories #AfricanUnion #AUECOSOCCNigeria #auecosoccproject

Recently , this type of #trafficking Of persons for the purpose of begging ,has spread beyond the country’s borders to the Middle east, in particular to Saudi arabia. contractual beggars are often adults of both sexes. #humantrafficking #Africa #AfricanUnion #auecosoccproject

[Ending Human Trafficking In Nigeria @EH_TRAFFICKING]

Another type of #trafficking in northern nigeria is the #trafficking for organized begging. Physically challenged or disabled persons, such as the blind and crippled, are lured into the begging business in major nigerian cities, such as lagos, ibadan, Kano and Kaduna.

In the #north, #religion is used as a means to lure the innocent just as it is in the #South, where the majority of #traffickedpersons are #christians.
