Wallahi we are not ready, what kind of system looks at a child of 5 years old, a toddler, a baby who should still be clutching his mother’s wrapper and says, "You are on your own"? You see them everywhere in the streets of Arewa. Little boys with dirty faces and rusty bowls. They are infants sent out to battle the world with nothing but the shirt on their backs. At an age where their biggest worry should be scraped knees and whose turn it is to play with the toy, their biggest worry is, "If I don't find food today, I will sleep on an empty stomach again. We have created a culture where it is acceptable to drop a seven year old off at a mallam’s house and wash your hands of him. You don’t feed him. You don’t bathe him. You don’t hold him when he cries. You just leave him. You leave him to the streets. You expect him to beg from strangers to fill his stomach. You expect a child to understand humility when all he feels is hunger. And people wonder what happens next. You take a boy who has never known a soft hand. You take a boy who has never been tucked into bed. You take a boy who has had to fight for every crumb of food since he was old enough to walk. You raise him without mercy, so why would he have any mercy to give? You watch him grow. He hits ten, twelve, fifteen. He is still on the street, but he isn't a cute little boy anymore. He is a young man with nothing. No skills. No family. No future. Just a lifetime of scratching and clawing to survive. If you are that boy, and your stomach is eating itself from the inside, and there is no food in sight, what do you do? Do you just lie down and die? No. You survive. And if that means stealing a loaf of bread from a market stall, you steal it. If that means joining a gang because the gang gives you food and a place to sleep, you join the gang. And then what happens when the hunger is gone, but the anger remains? What happens when someone comes along and hands that angry, abandoned boy a gun? What happens when they tell him, "The people who abandoned you, the society that ignored you they are the enemy"? You get a terrorist. You get a thug. You get a boy who has been dead inside since he was seven, and now he has nothing left to lose. And some of you have a words to justify that? Nice joke.
