Trust stupid Nigerians to write rubbish, road sweeping job in Europe and America are done mostly by white people and many are civil service jobs with pensions and other benefits!

If he is unskilled and not in position to find better jobs then why not.

Two Nigerian immigrants have gotten international attention after volunteering to sweep the streets in Italy. According to reports, it’s hard to find a job if one is in the process of claiming asylum but this group of Nigerians living in a migrant camp in Rome have started a voluntary street sweeping collective.

The sweeping collective was founded by Wisdom and Osas, who came up with the idea because they had no money but did not want to beg on the streets.

In an audio interview with BBC, the Nigerians revealed that they've been in Italy for nine months and decided to sweep the streets rather than remaining idle in the migrant camp. They revealed that they are more than 300 Nigerian guys sweeping the streets as people give them money to appreciate their work.

This is a job done by even white people. So there is no shame in it. Somebody has got to keep the streets clean. As long as they are not doing the same job for the rest of their lives, that is fine.

It is in Nigeria that we look down on jobs. Meanwhile, we don't even have nothing. angry

He earns more than most bankers in Nigeria. I meet a guy that makes $2000 every week, moving lawns in the UK. That's about N700,000 every week. These dirty jobs comes with good money. After 5-10 years, they return to Nigeria as big boys, establish companies and your brother's and sisters submit CV to them.

Not bad, better than doing drugs and gets killed at the end.

Better to stay in Naija than risking your life crossing the sea and desert only to end up in a refugee camp or prison as illegal immigrant and wasting away.

If you actually met him in UK you wont say that. I dont think you have ever traveled out of Nigeria and see how Africans without skills are treated. Out of the £2000 as a street cleaner (I doubt) did he tell you how much he spends on tax, housing, gas, electricity etc? embarassed

this greedy op. why book space on ur own thread?

back to topic

is it not better than staying here?

worst case scenario people point fingers.

but here in Nigeria anything can happen.
even today, innocent people farming were all slaughterd for no reason. 42 people o

or the FG may even send thier foot almajiri soldiers to kill you because you asked about the where abouts of buhari

they are there sweeping streets, here in Nigeria the streets are not tilled so sweeping is outta the question. even the Roads here are not tarred sooo

we have bushes everywhere little wonder a certain grass cutter used about 250 million to clear grass, he was caught o and gullible Nigerians thought he would be punished, lol the thought that he was a member of the ruling party did not cross their myopic minds. he has been acquitted by pastor osibanjo. a man of god that detests corrupt practises.

I know babaachair lawal is somewhere sipping champagne now



so I ask y won't niggers leave Nigeria and travel out to sweep streets? is Nigeria a country sef?

Bro I think he is over hyping the money $2k ahaha,but let me ask, why is everyone fixed on this tax issue, taxes a little or nothing, Nigerians pay more taxes than people in the Uk and US, if I ask you now to name two taxes you think he pays would you manage to name one?

For whatever reason, the streets need to be kept clean and somebody has to do it. White people sweep streets too. The whites are even in the majority of people that do these menial jobs.
