[مرام @_maramiii]

subhanallah “he is the one who has set free the two kinds of water, one sweet and palatable, and the other salty and bitter. he has made between them a barrier and a forbidding partition. (Quran, 25:53)”

[Dr Ola Brown @NaijaFlyingDr]

When you get a phone call from your relatives in Naija in the middle of your press conference.

What will possibly break your heart more than this today?!
We simply failed as a community! We failed!!

[Aishatu (Mrs.) @aishat_saraki]

Dear Parents/Guardians and society,
Almajiris are as equal as every other children. What they deserve to be given is food, sound education, shelter and guidance.
If we fail to give them any of these, they will surely become a threat to the well-being of the future generation.

[Gimba Kakanda @gimbakakanda]

If you were born by parents who aren’t responsible and, at age 5, handed over to some poor cleric hundreds of kilometers away to exist as an almajiri, what would you have done?

This is the picture those of you who demonize these kids refuse to see. They didn’t choose this life.

[Gimba Kakanda @gimbakakanda]

A lot of us have been condescending in addressing the place and life of the Almajiri in our society. He is a product of a dysfunction we shouldn’t have allowed to happen. But did that 5-year-old Almajiri choose to be beggar? Have you offered him a better life and he refused?

[Jamil Mabai @jaymb000]

He is taking a nap, before struggle for survival continues. Vulnerable, depressed and exhausted from hunger. Almajiri system have lost its essence. time to STOP the #AlmajiriSystem of learning. @EveryNigerian @almajiriproject #EndAlmajiriSystem #AlmajiriSeries #ChildAbuse

Every Child has a right to decent education and a better life and it's really sad to know that the Almajiri system has assisted in depriving more than 8 million children these rights. The life of these children are in dire state and there is a strong need to reform the system.

[Ja Muje @jamujeng]

This is insane. No child should be allowed to suffer such kind of trauma because of a system. WE DEMAND JUSTICE FOR ZUBAIRU and all other child facing such truama. #reformthesystem #JusticeforZubairu. @Citizenmohammed @NagariFDN @almajiriproject @AlmajiriLife @northernlifeng https://t.co/btc4WQVryM

[Jamila @JKFagge]

Schools alone cannot address all of a child's educational needs - parents must be involved. Nigeria has now has over 11m kids not in school.

[The Oracle Ph.D @Clemsakin71]

Almajiris represent hunger, not Islam – Sultan https://t.co/dE4teE8gDB | And the hunger can't be fixed?

[The Almajiri Project @almajiriproject]

@femifalanablog Only if they are equiped to lead. Otherwise they could be the opposite

[Olusegun Iselaiye @iotama22]

@channelstv Let the state govt. first remove the #almajiris from its street before anything else.

[The Almajiri Project @almajiriproject]

@iotama22 @channelstv Indeed.

[Muhammad Malumfashi @m_malumfashi]

#ChildRightsNG means thousands of Almajiris will be safe and their future secured, not on the streets.
