By this your kakawa logic, should we also draw a straight line from almajiri to fraudsters, armed robbers, kidnappers, baby factories or cultists in Southern Nigeria?

I'm always amazed at how some people can be highly educated yet profoundly ignorant on certain subjects. So permit me to offer a brief lesson to you, Mr Generalizer!

Almajirai, terrorists, and bandits are not the same thing. Conflating them only demonstrates a lack of understanding of Nigeria's security challenges!

Firstly, not every almajiri becomes a menace to society. My father was an almajiri in Hardawa, Bauchi State over 90yrs ago, where he memorized the entire Qur'an. The almajiri system of his time was very different from what we see today.

I also had a young almajiri who helped with household chores many years ago. He later moved to Kaduna, found legitimate work, and eventually became a successful businessman. Years later, he visited me, I didn't even recognize him when he bowed down to greet me till he reminded me who he was.

My point is that, almajiranci does not automatically produce criminals! Does this mean I support the current almajiri system? Certainly not. It is in desperate need of major reform. But acknowledging its flaws is different from falsely claiming that every almajiri is a terrorist or bandit in waiting.

Secondly, terrorist groups such as Boko Haram and Lakurawa are primarily driven by ideology. Their recruitment cuts across different social and economic classes. Their ranks have included university graduates, professionals, clerics, and people with no formal education. Yes, some almajirai may have been recruited, but so have many others from entirely different backgrounds.

Thirdly, banditry is a different phenomenon altogether. Most bandit groups are driven by criminal enterprise who are mostly from the fulani ethnic group, who engage in kidnapping for ransom, cattle rustling, extortion, and territorial control. Their motivations, structures, and recruitment patterns are fundamentally different from those of ideological terrorist groups. I can almost guarantee you that none of these Fulani bandits are almajiris.

Nigeria's insecurity is a complex problem with roots in poverty, weak governance, corruption, unemployment, communal conflicts, porous borders, criminal economies, and extremist ideologies. Reducing all of that to "almajiranci" is not analysis, it is oversimplification!

Before making sweeping generalization, it helps to understand the subject matter. Complex problems deserve informed discussions, not convenient stereotypes!

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk!

[Fabrizio Mourinho @FabrizioMou]

Mourinho's last ever Real Madrid press conference was a masterpiece, reflecting on his legacy at the club.

A journalist tried to call his 3 seasons at the Bernabeu a 'failure'.

José Mourinho's fantastic reply:

"I brought a little paper, because I expected a question that demands a little paper. La Liga of all records: is mine. You want to disrespect it, but you won't be able to do it. Real Madrid were 20 years without winning the Copa del Rey… it's because it's not easy. We won the Copa after 20 years. The Supercopa we won is small, but we reached 3 Champions League semifinals. Personally, these semifinals don't feed my ego, nor do they satisfy me, may that be very clear. But it mustn't be easy. And I'll tell you why it mustn't be easy: because [lists the previous 18 Real Madrid coaches] John Toshack, Di Stefano, Antić, Beenhakker, Benito Floro, Arsenio, Fabio Capello, Heynckes, Hiddink, Del Bosque, Queiroz, Camacho, García Remón, Vanderlei Luxemburgo, Lopez Caro, Fabio Capello again, Juande Ramos, Schuster and Pellegrini... 18 coaches in 21 years: 5 Champions League semifinals. And Mourinho, who you say is bad, 3 Champions League semifinals in 3 years. Do you want to keep the little paper?"

Real Madrid went on to dominate football for the following decade, with the team Mourinho mostly built.

Are there people on this app who have Watched more than 4 world cups ?

[Basheer Mukhtar @bashyola]

Watching and playing football taught me a lot. From losing with dignity to winning with grace. Sportsmanship fostered a lot of togetherness

Now former professionals, analysts and sports people have turned into clowns and do a lot of things in bad taste then call it “banter”

“Nnu Ego lay down by the roadside, thinking that she had arrived home. She died quietly there, with no child to hold her hand and no friend to talk to her. She had never really made many friends, so busy had she been building up her joys as a mother.”

I cried.😭

Arteta built a resilient team that can win the EPL and somehow stumbled into a UCL final. A side quest that has gone too far 😂

Arsenal fans are so relaxed about the UCL Final coming up. Everyone is so confident.
