No. Not sympathy but JUSTICE is what we want for the dead motor boy and his family. Though no amount of money is enough to pay for the life of the child, the driver should pay all that has been spent on the child until this age.

If not because of the bad Governance of Buhari and Tinubu, this child would have been in school instead of doing this kind of odd job.

gr8child:

people like you go abroad to be doing worst odd jobs in the name of hard currency. Maybe you don't know some graduate are into truck driving in Apapa and they make more money than you with your cutlass blade tie in the office.
