village people's handiwork come in surprising ways. Unfortunately for them, they may be graduates from a a Nigerian tertiary institution.
My friend tells me that in his neighborhood in Lekki, the prevailing currency is dollars for many transactions. Some think that until they are abroad, they cannot make headway in life. Such shame!
I pray you come to your senses like the prodigal son.

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.
Be deceiving yourself. If truly one can make such money just mowing lawns, I wonder why we have some citizens of that country relying on welfare if such jobs comes with such hefty pay. Are there not Nigerians with more dignifying jobs abroad? Let them brain wash you that the streets over there are paved with gold.

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.
There are people already paid to do that work.That is what council taxes go for
The only reason they are doing it is cos begging is now stale, they recon people will give them money this way than sitting down begging.
Italy nah dead zone, no hope there.Now that the Uk has left, its even worse.

The government should provide them with some assistance. Some type of monthly stipend or give them work permit while they wait for their immigration hearing. It is only natural for man to do anything to survive and that option may include crime if the government does not extend some help soon. cry cry cry

That's no big deal. I have done that before here in the US, but it was to fulfil my community service service hours for a traffic citation I got. Nothing is wrong with that.

Hmmmmmm.....

While sweeping, if these guys come up with an idea for good business and hit it off, we will discuss their success stories. Though same applies even if they were to remain here.

Yup. It was punishment. But some charity organizations actually sent some of theirs to join us in cleaning up too. So, it was us the offenders and those that volunteered to do it. Go to meetup.com and you can search for groups of people looking for an opportunity to clean up their cities at their free time. That's just how some people are, they just like to volunteer.

ChangeIsCostant:
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.

Well despite the fact that they are sweeping the streets of Rome, Italian government still pay them at the end of each month


It's just that the number of immigrants in Italy increases each day and thus making it hard for the government to manage


However, I still think it's better off as majority of them who are smart gets the opportunity to travel to neighboring countries.

My bro lives there and he is doing well for himself


Above all, man must survive

But most of the citizens are complaining, the anti immigration law remains the major topic in Italy.Nobody knows tomorrow, they should be extremely cautions and spend wisely because anything is possible.


God bless our hustle

it's a dirty job and not many people know that the money involved is that much. Even when they are informed, they'll doubt it just the same way you're doubting it now. You charge $20-50 per house and even get tips doing that. you think say na naija.
Peeps be doubting what they don't know

There are many of them here, mail sorter, warehouse associate, machine loader, car parts sorter, CNC Operator, Home-care giver, office-cleaning team etc. To survive requires pain and I pray that God bless Nigerians that keeps a clean record through hard work.

My working in Corporate America with a full fledged office makes me appreciate people that stands on their feet for 8 hours.

My respect goes out to these guys.
CNC Operators earn up to 55k per annum
