Do you know who an Almajiri is? A child that was sent away from his mother& #39;s cradle at an age as early as age 4. These kids are sent to an islamic cleric/teacher who in turn sends them out to go and beg. If you give those kids money, they never spend it, they take it back to... https://twitter.com/Al_ameen_Yabo/status/1254455675050242050">https://twitter.com/Al_ameen_...

Their mallam, they are only allowed to eat food given to them.
Some of them could even get lost while roaming about, some don& #39;t know/remember where they are from or their names, so, you see them adopting names of places they find themselves e.g. you see them bearing names like...

Dantata which of course is name of a place in Kano.
Except this is how the Igbo almajiris are too, don& #39;t call them that ma.
Every place has beggars but only the North and Muslims have almajiris cos they believe that& #39;s a medium of education for those children.
