Danladi Yau

Dipo Laleye writes that a man who never went to school has become so passionate about education that the school he established is adjudged to be one of the largest in Minna.

At 11 years of age, Danladi Yau, was brought to Minna from Kano by his parents to learn the Is-lamic holy book, the Quran, a practice that is commonly called ‘almajirinshi’ in the northern part of the country.
The almajiri have no other business than to learn the Quran and after graduating and regaining freedom from their Mallams, they are expected to return to their parents though most of them refuse to do so preferring to make a permanent home in the environment of their former ‘schools’.
