The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has rejected Rev. Matthew Kukah’s initiative to train 10 million Almajiri children in Northern Nigeria.

In a statement on Wednesday, MURIC Director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, said that Rev. Kukah’s idea raises more questions than answers.According to him, the Kukah’s proposal is a ploy for evangelization, modern colonialism and a potential time bomb.

“We all agree that something must be done about the Almajiri children. We can welcome ideas from everyone but the implementation must be in the hands of Muslims in the region. Any other thing will make the intention questionable.

“We cannot pretend to be so naive as to entrust our Muslim children to the hands of Christian gospellers. As far as we are concerned, Kukah’s Almajiri dream is a Trojan horse.

“These children have teachers even if the system is unconventional. The parents entrusted them to the teachers and learning still takes place somehow.

“Can any Christian community allow an Islamic organization to take their children away just like that? What is the fate of the children taken from Chibok to an Edo IDP centre in 2014?

“Whatever the situation may be, we wish to caution Northern Muslims, particularly the elders, never to allow it to happen.

“Instead of allowing Christian missionaries to seize this kind of initiative, Northern Muslims should empower available Muslim NGOs to cater for Almajiri children.

“We know from experience that whatever happens will be a point of reference in the near future. Who will bear the shame at that time?

“We therefore advise state governments in the region to rearrange their priorities and concentrate on the education and welfare of Almajiri children,” Akintola said.

While saying that it is indisputable fact that Almajiri is essentially a system practiced by northern Muslims and that it is not part of Christendom, he wondered if Rev. Kukah prefers to alleviate poverty among Muslims than doing same among Christians.

“Is he (Kukah) telling us that he loves to assist Muslims more than he loves to help Christians? Can Rev. Kukah give any guarantee that those children will remain the same at the end of his intervention? It is modern colonialism.

“When did the reverend father suddenly develop so much love for Muslims that he has now decided to give them preference above his Christian folks?

“Are there no poverty stricken children in the Christian majority Middle Belt particularly in Benue and Plateau? Why can’t he take his project there? This type of project demands trust. No NGO can successfully train children or adults in an atmosphere of mutual distrust.”

He added there were no less than five NGOs that specialize in eliminating poverty among vulnerable people and that one of them, the Almajiri Child Right Initiative (ACRI), specializes in Almajiri affairs.

He wondered if Rev. Kukah was unaware of the existence of these Muslim NGOs and what effort has he made to find them?

“We have reliable information that some of the existing Muslim NGOs have made futile attempts to secure funding for similar projects from foreign donors.

“Why would the same donors suddenly show interest in funding the initiative of a Christian reverend father while still ignoring those of genuine Muslim NGOs?” he queried.

He therefore urged Rev. Kukah to take Muslim NGOs in the North into confidence, by among others co-opt some of them into a committee, allowed them to do the implementation while he and the donors monitor the use of funds for the project.

He added that whatever training the almajiri children receive should include the learning of Arabic language and Islamic studies and that anything short of this is unacceptable.

Don't reject it..They don't even deserve it ..Muric talks anyhow..

which group win the award as the most useless group in 2018



hit like for muric, hit share for meyiti allah

The only condition fr.kukah must give those potential Islamic terrorists for him to stop the humanely plan to train 10 million Almajiri is for the potential Islamic terrorists group MURIC is to sign an agreement to train 10 million Almajiri innocent children . Some group are not even worth calling a religious group but terrorists base on there ideology . How can selfless individuals or groups decides to show the humane characters to innocents children a potential agents of terrorists group will kick against it in this 21st century.

MUMURIC!!! This group is a potential disaster to the South West people.

The earlier it is nipped to the bud...the better for all and sundry.

It's about time the Yorubas call this mad man to order

There is something about Islam that is averse to progress, joy, peace, prosperity and development

I feel ashamed of being yoruba cos of this man.

I feel ashamed of being yoruba cos of this man.

why feel ashamed. Akintola would never support anything that would not bring money into his pocket. That good for nothing human being with a big head without brain. He may come again and say, kukah wants to promote Christianity with such a viable idea. How the man got mixed with us is still a mystery because he doesn't reason like a yorubaman. His mum must have brought his oyun frown somewhere up there.

Am always feel disturbed whenever i saw or read, the kind of comment coming from potential Nigeria future leaders about national issues. Let all of us be sincere with ourselves and always put ourselves ln the shoes of others. What you will never take, never give it to your fellow human being. ALWAYS BE MINDFUL OF YOUR COMMENT TO ISSUES. Our Dearling Jesus Christ is Lord of Peace, if truly we are all true followers of Christ we should let PEACE rain any where we are by nuetralizing our mind and make it sentimental free when commenting on issues. Thanks.

MURIC is a terrorist organization

Sometimes, MURIC's position on social issues can be logically exhausting! Haba! This man is "professor" of what exactly? This is a rant.
