Nigerian comedian and actor, Ayo Makun, popularly known as “AY”, is set to release a film titled “Almajiri” which has its roots in the experiences of the Northern people of Nigeria.
The movie is said to be his newest “baby” which is still in the production process.
Darlington Abuda, the producer, says that the film will fully depict the Almajiri system in the North and its affects, especially on children.
In his words: ” ‘Almajiri’ tells a very common story of children who are subjected to the high level of poverty faced by most families living in that region. These children often wander the streets begging for food, clothes, and other necessities thus making them vulnerable to chronic ill-health, sexual and physical abuse, human trafficking, slavery, drugs etc.”
Some of the actors include: Alex Ekubo, Annie Idibia, Kanayo O. Kanayo, Segun Arinze, Ali Nuhu and Broda Shaggi.
