A man from Northern Nigeria has raise alarm after filming hundred of young girls, aged 3 to 10, the video really hits hard—seeing dozens of tiny girls, some barely three, roaming the streets of Kano instead of being in school.
The man behind the footage is clearly fed up, calling it part two of a series that also showed hundreds of women begging. He’s urging the government to step in fast because these kids are being pulled into a life of begging instead of getting an education.
It’s not the first time the issue has surfaced. Kano’s Hisbah Board has been rounding up child beggars in places like Dala LGA, warning that many of the kids are missing school and even getting into petty theft.
At the same time, humanitarian groups point out that thousands of street children—girls especially—are exposed to exploitation and violence, and that existing anti‑begging laws haven’t been enough to stem the tide .
On the other flip side, the state has launched mass evacuations and set up agencies to rescue and rehabilitate these youngsters, offering counseling and trying to reunite them with families .
There’s also a new anti‑begging law that would penalize parents who keep their kids on the streets, though enforcement remains spotty.
The contrast with the public official who allegedly spent $5 million on overseas school fees for his own children adds a layer of frustration that many people feel—why can’t the resources reach the most vulnerable? It’s a debate that keeps coming up: how to balance immediate rescue efforts with longer‑term solutions like better schools and economic support for families.
So, while the video has sparked outrage, it’s also a reminder that the problem is multi‑faceted—authorities are acting, NGOs are pushing, and there’s still a long road ahead to get those kids back into classrooms. What do you think should be the next step?
