nice pix

Of what end?

We are aware that there is no excuse before the law, but where will these guys read the news about their restriction on the street?

Perhaps, Mr. Governor should know that they are better than PICK - POCKETS and the likes. Sending them to Jail is like Killing a baby not yet born. A good government will think about how to TRAIN / EMPOWER its people who are struggling to make Living, not forcefully stopping them while at work and jailing them for non compliance.

We appeal to the Governor to please help the helpless and bring SANITY into our dirty STREETS.

Am not against Ambode enforcing his environmental laws, but jailing cart pushers who are just trying to eke out a living isn't fair.

His Government should enroll them in skill acquisition centres for training to acquire a decent skill and give them startup capital after the are through with their training rather than jail 'em.


Nigerian jails don't rehabilitate you, it destroys you

That's one of the reasons why lagos is very dirty lately..Those guys play a role in keeping lagos clean.

TreasuredGlory:
Please, please and please, tender justice with mercy for God's sake. D job itself is demeaning, and they got engaged in it cos there was no alternative. To get that 20k is like a camel passing through the eye of a needle. God will have mercy on you too in Jesus mighty name. None of your generations will be involved in cart pushing as a means of livelihood in Jesus mighty name. Amen. You can then enrol them in any skill acquisition centre.

Good move also the police should close in on these guys they engage in all forms of criminal activities they go under the guise of pushing their carts around take advantage at any slightest given opportunity to vandalise cars and burgle homes they notice are empty they study your pattern of movement be careful when you see these guys in your neigbourhood they commit the crime and go into their refuse dump to hide perfect place to cool off who wants to go to a refuse dump to look for a criminal, likes of godogodo the great criminal started like this .Most dump sites are filled with heinous crimes and criminals

manikspears:


that was deep bro, that was deep

you will know how deeply wicked these guys are when you have a horrible one on one encounter with them in a lonely place .Most of these guys are hardened criminals they use this truck pushing to map out their targets ,stop these guys from coming or moving around your neigbourhood and you will be shocked how petty and major crimes would reduce

my friend law nha law not love or charity

@Seun,

I will pay the fine for 3 of them.

Can NL pay the balance?

If these young men go to jail all because of their quest for the legitimate "hustle", it will be pretty sad!

Those who ought to be in jail are living in glass houses and basking effortlessly in their loots.

Do we have lawyers who can challenge the State on this law? The State should absorb them through their Union(s) ahead of proscription.

My 2 cents!

ambode is running lagos like how the fct was was run in the 90s , exclusively for the rich.

not denying that fact o,but what about people that are actually genuine with their hussle?plus,who is not a criminal in lagos?is it a pastor(remember wilson oruma's case) or an imam or a banker or the police or sars? this is naija especially lagos ,even your office mate wan kill you so that is not an excuse.

realmindz:
So many emotional people on this thread...
Grow up guys, they are just cart pushers....















lemme wear my bullet proof before they come for me

Wear it well oh.

Just cart pushers. Aren't they human beings? They chose to work with thier hands instead of stealing from you. I agree they broke the law but jail isn't the best option. Community service would be better.

Whatever happened to community service?

Our lawmakers should know how to make laws in this age nowwww. These guys didn't steal or commit murder, they struggled to keep body and soul together, and they are now being sentenced to go and learn theft and killing from hardened criminals in prison?

This one weak me sha...

The government contractors, if they work at all, you see them once a month instead of four tines a month, yet they force you to pay for weeks they did not work. Why should government use their private contractors to steal from the poor masses. Lagos government, there is no friend, brother and family in business, you pay them monthly for jobs not done and yet you are complaining of filth in Lagos.

I like dt guy in white top nd white short e pose wih confidence. . he was like o ya let go dere I go soon commot naa rest dey wan give me moreover cell isn't for animal

hungryboy:
Am not against Ambode enforcing his environmental laws, but

but means you are against it
and you can write a letter or vote against him but you won't

jailing cart pushers who are just trying to eke out a living isn't fair.

the law is the law
not fair or unfair

His Government should enroll them in skill acquisition centres for training to acquire a decent skill and give them startup capital after the are through with their training rather than jail 'em.

why
out of 20 million ppl what makes them so special

Nigerian jails don't rehabilitate you, it destroys you

nigerian jails don't destroy you
breaking the LAW does

GreenArrow1:
Kai! This brought tears to my eyes. I know some will say they broke the law and I'm aware. Don't blame me, sometimes you just have to take a pause when your humanity pokes at you. *wipes tear* What a country.

yeah a country that kept quiet when the law was being voted on
crocrodile tears

This is stupid. Should they have stopped working, would the state have given them food

. Some people should burn in hell

stiles009:
jailing someone who's tryn to make the best of a sad situation is totally inhumane.

armed robbers kidnappers and rapist also trying to make best of bad situation
the law is an ass

These are people persevering, and just passing-by the best legally way they could. They didn't opt to be robbers

they will be shot on sight

nor beggars

dia dignity no gree

and yet they are being crucified.

they not crucified
they being punished for breaking law we agreed on through our governor

whatever happened to rehabilitation over incarceration?

hahahahaha
with which resources
and which politicians

whatever happened to welfarism?

have you seen any welfare in 50 yrs
get real

what exactly will this preach to the less privileged?

to obey the law
or vote for better laws

Trump was right, a shithole it is.

were you doubting it before

uruego:
what is the government's alternative plan towards removing dirtss from the street. Just take a look at Lagos Streets, it stinks.

their own personal company
since no oyel moni in lagos
they have to make money other way

suco01:
One sided governor. how many of his clean lagos initiative has he jail...

they not breaking law

The law is not a shield, it's a sword killing, taking away freedom, property, redistributing wealth, etc

Never follow it blindly.

Hafeezcodex1:
instead of providing them a job to make their living,

why you no provide job for dem

"na jail hun nah dey give them",

why dem break law

God dey ooo,

give to caesar what iis caesars

and his watching you all, this world is becoming uncomfortable place more and more, may God help us,

he has
but we prefer suffering

where civilian pay tax, and the tax is used to buy firearm, tanker, helicopter, trucks teargas and other fight equipment, and yet those wicked mother called government used these things that was paid for by civilian to fight against the same civilian when they protest on what they don't want,

next time the civilian take his responsibilty to vote good leaders serious instead of voting foolishly

this inst good is called injustices act.

the law is the law
don't break it if you can't back it up

the law is the law God almighty will pay you all on what you did n't do right. amen.

yeah but you will suffer first for not voting with sense

MacBan:
I was thinking about community service but I doubt if the government can actually monitor these guys.... there has to be something other than jail terms so as to serve as deterrent to others.

fine that they cannot pay
or all these crocodile tear ppl mobilise to recall governor
or shame governor by paying the fine for them and mass mediaing it
only thing that matters is votes and money

From frying pan to fire, from no good job to prison. Trouble multiple by 2 or double tragedy or double wahala. They can't provide free education, they can't provide works for their citizens, and they are casting them into prison and even taking money from jobless people in form of bails and co. They mismanaged the resources of the country and are forcing many of the citizens to to Libya to travel to Europe because of joblessness and the little the poor man could do to survive, they are arresting them. It's a hopeless situation and a hopeless country and hopeless leaders of hopeless people and generation. They will surely be forcing many of their citizens into crime

MIKOLOWISKA:
