ok lemme talk...so u talking bout other feasible option.. What happened to craftsmanship,learning a trade,skilled and unskilled labour. These are all subseta of the white collar job. If that same kid was a mechanic or vulcanizer or prolly a car wash attendant. Kai officers wont be running after him .There is a law in the land and he broke it,if what he was doing was right,he wouldnt have scampered like he dis,he put his life at risk because he knew what he was doing was wrong. An unfortunate occurence took place and this should serve as a lesson to other law breakers. We cant say we want Nigeria to change and we are not ready to change afterall we are the same Nigerians and change is expected of Everyone... We always blame our leaders for being corrupt but we are far more corrupt than they are. The common man is the major problem of Nigeria, The common man marries a wife in the case of the North 2 or 3 wifes,he copulates and gives birth to tens of offspring,he creates poverty in his household and now spreads it to his environment. Are you telling me you will see Tinubus or Buharis kids hawking gala? answer is NO. The common man basterdized the freedom in Nigeria to commit unspeakable acts he litters his environment with dirt,downpour occurs there is a flood he blames the government. He erects a structure under a high tension,Govt pulls it down he screams wickedness. Everything in Nigeria we blame the government,when are we gona start to blame our own selves for some of our careless attitude towards urgent matters? Such kid would have been in the Village farming or doing menial labour,but know he was in the city and the city killed him. Nigerians have this mentality of making it big in the city whereas there is nothing really big in the city. Government cant cater and be responsible for all our needs,its high time we accept the blame for some of our misdeed. You may see me as cold hearted,but trust me am not,am a common man,but i reason objectively,i obey the laws of the land and respect people. I have a believe that if you do or say no wrong,you would be secure from harms way to an extent. I dont blame the KAI officials,neither do I blame the poor kid that died.But simple truth is that a misadventure occured and we shouldnt be sentimental about it.. Left for me its the Animals that started destroying public properties that should be held accounatble for disturbing public peace and causing anarchy. Thank u

1. Let's not forget our dapper window shiner is also a street hawker, he was celebrated internationally right?

2. It's the touts at fadeyi and palmgroove that destroyed the buses the hawkers had all ran away from KAI.

3. You can always raise sound points without being derogatory by using terms like "animals"

Wicked people..criminals who sit in high places and oppress the poor. I see street hawking as a last resort of survival,most of them are uneducated and are doing a honest work to make a living.Is it not better than armed robbery?? This same Lagos government have turned a blind eye to Agberos and the menace they cause every now and then.Because agbero dey deliver money to them. Poor hawker died, not a thing about the irresponsible KAI officials chasing a man through a highway.How these people even sleep at night is beyond me. #No justice in this world.

Is there a constitutional decree that restricts movements within states? 'No' I think is the right answer.
Since Govt. Cannot provide job for all, the all should provide means for themselves...
The resolute answer to them is hawking.
Think about our economic downstride... Would u fold ur hands and urself and family members die? U cld say 'Yes'... To me, 'No'.

How many times do you want the guy to tell you this?

You said "" Since Govt. Cannot provide job for all, the all should provide means for themselves...

If you want to hawk go to Sango and other interior part of Lagos and hawk.

You see now? This government for years has allowed all forms of importation into Nigeria.

Our Local industries are dead or non existent.

Interest rate from a bank loan in over 25%.

Majority of youth have no jobs.

Lagos remains commercial centre of Nigeria

All youth cone to Lagos. There are no jobs

Youth go into street trading. Govt kills them.
-----
I was very sad that Ambode preferred to purchase imported Ford cars for RRS instead of Innoson.
I see no reason now more than ever why all geoverment vehicles shouldn't be INNOSON vehicles.

Encourage our industries. Stop importation. Youth will have jobs.

Last time I checked, there no law criminalizing street husstling in Lagos or in Nigeria. You can educate me on this by providing any where in our statute book. Also a crime doesn't become a crime because the public sees it so or because the Governor says so or because some persons are being robbed, it becomes a crime be jade our law book says so and a specified punishment has been provided for by same.

Cc: Klassic


I hope you can now see that there is a law.

And just so you know, the punishment is a Mandatory 5000 Naira fine or 3 Months imprisonment or both.

U should have been in jail for not having an upright reasoning... So the ones govt can't provide jobs for should now do wat, when they try to apply for loans from all form of commercial banks even down to d micro-finance banks wt do they get " scary conditions dt can never be met" but instead d so called unavailable loans get dished out to d likes of Bruce family Co Since they can't get soft loans, do u expect em do sit at home n later on crime fetches em mind n they get to face jungle justice or maybe if they are lucky they land themselves in our acclaimed "POLICE IS YOUR FRIEND CELL" guess dt poster only asked a reasonable question wt has d govt put in place to cushion/reduce or even eliminate street trading or hawking.
Even as I am very much against d act of street trading n hawking we must not deny d fact dt these are some means some families get to feed, pay em bills, send em kids to school "THEY JUST CAN'T AFFORD TO BE CRIMINALS I GUESS" YES the govt can't provide jobs for everyone but I believe d govt can reasonable means/mechanism of getting oneself engaged, both d rich n d poor.... N pls don't come spewing dust about some poverty alleviation programmes..... Cox u and I still know d proposed monies/loans still revolves around them them like my naija peeps will say.... R. I.

Uncle,

What about the risk of getting hit by a moving vehicle associated with street/highway trading? Has that thought crossed your mind?

What about the environmental pollution impact?

The fact that criminals masquerade as hawkers to commit crimes in traffic ranging from robbery to snatching purses, etc?

Your comment on armed robbery is just too shallow. So if they are not hawking (which is illegal), the only other means to make a living is Armed Robbery (which is not just illegal but actually a multiple criminal offense). There is not legal job option apart from these two abi? grin grin grin Or you forgot to add 'Begging' as option number three.

Like seriously!! This is the only thing you can think of as an alternative to street hawking?


I give up.. grin grin grin grin grin

Thanks a lot for your time and constructive ideas... I really appreciate, But:
So many craftsmen are jobless and don't even have a start-head due to conditions i percieve u wld undstand

The man in question cld even be one of those who may have had a craft or trade but cld meet the requirements for a start due to the nature of our ways of life and the economic situation of this country

Conducive avenues are not being put in place before the total elimination of this struggle to make ends meet from the streets

The rich doesn't even know if it hurts... Feel blessed when u're not in such situations...

Look at your leaders and u wld be disappointed

So on point

Where is the empathy? Someone died and the statement is only trying to emphasise that "it is not our bus that killed him but a private company truck"...ha! where is our humanity? where is a our empathetic, loving and caring for one another human nature? Yes he's dead and cant be brought back to life, but cant we say sorry to his family? can we feel pained that another life has been wasted? The KAI officer chasing him, didnt he realise the danger he was putting the young man? He was looking for daily bread via a way that has been made illegal by law, yes, but he was searching for daily bread. May the soul of the departed rest in peace.
