Children (Almajiris) who were nearby scrambled for the food, feeding off the dirty tarred road, even as vehicles sped by.
The incident happened on Tuesday, around Liberty Roundabout, GRA, Government House in Gombe State. Northern readers were taken aback by the photographs, and they responded with indictment of their leaders. Some of the reactions are captured below...
Abubakar Yahaya - Do we really have leaders in this country?
Alhaji Umar Abdulqadir - I'm a northerner but the sad truth is we the northerners are the number one problem of this country! it is such a shame that the richest man is from the north, the highest number of presidents this country has produced are northerners yet unfortunately north is the headquarters of poverty! God punish our leaders!
Aliu Malbimes Bello - This is a punch on the face of Arewa but yet some with obsession will still look at this picture and say that everything is very okay with sending younger ones to Almajiri school when those that go to Arabic schools at home while living with their parents speak Arabic fluently and can comprehend and memorize the Qur'an much and more better than those that are sent to Almajiri schools elsewhere. Again, we give birth to children that we can't take full responsibilities of, and when some rational minded individuals come out to say that we should be controlling how we give birth in this side of the country then some individuals with mental dementias will read the comments and get pissed up and starts showering insults alleging that it's wrong when it's crystal clear that issues like that happens within the premises of their nose.
Bello Aliyu Sambo - This is a disgraced for we northern
Anas Ahmed Isaa - Is a PDP state we're not astonished they want to get the whole country and sell. We know they're established thieves.
Adams Abubakar - It's a big shame that we're still dealing with this almajiri thing when most of the people that have ruled Nigeria were northerners. The problems in the north, coupled with the conservative nature of many northerners towards change make me lie about my origin sometimes.
Babangida Hong - Of what benefits is this power to us in the North when our leaders seek power is just to enslave us? Disgusting.
