     Article by Ihenacho Michael 'Internally Displaced Children, Almajiri Boys, Street kids are Nigerian Children�.. the children we neglect today will end up causing nuisance in the society tomorrow� � TGF Online� In the face of the prominent strengths evident in Nigeria: being the largest black populated country in Africa, and that �in every fourth African is a Nigerian� ( Ngboawaji et al, No date) , there are no records of streets children.
