Baba that boy don't need that exposure right now

You should really go our to see how tough life is for people

I used to hawk when I was little for my mum,just to make ends meet

Call it slavery or not,but we needed to put food on our tables because we couldn't beg

So if you really don't know much about people's experiences, just learn

OP,
Im not sure this is true.

First, motorcycle parts are fastened with bolts, nuts, screws and clips. To get any of these fasteners off and gain access to the mechanical parts require wrist strength and arm leverage that a 5yr old is not built for.

Let's reposition this story abeg!
