Johndoe100:

I will go to the place later today to see if I can locate these people. I will offer them 1,000 naira for sex with the wife. Her mouth should still be functunal. Just hope she does'nt have body odor.
I don't believe all the sob stories. The man is a layabout.

You sounds like a neighbor to them. Under which bridge can you be located?

yamakuza:

[s]i'm not, but even if i was i might not want to get directly involved. [/s]

I think its good to work with formal/established structures in situations like these.

How many ppl on NL run NGOs or work for NGOs?

Crotalus seems to be the only one so far, and he happens to be willing.

1. If we cant get substitutes/alternatives, perhaps he can do the needful to remove the doubts and reservations people have about him?

2. He has mapped out a strategy. Can he execute it alone or what assistance will he require?

r231, whats the agenda or next step for our NGO? Seems Seun doesnt want to get personally involved and thats understandable. It might just be a cell thing then. Item 2 is?

well if we can get somebody from NL to go and verify their location and needs, we can all come together and see how much we can raise for them on the other thread.

maybe 2 MODs in Lagos or any old NL member that can be trusted and is ready to do the job too

obviously for accommodation, we can do the research ourselves from property thread but first thing first we need to see how to get in touch with them to srt with

^ seems Ify has volunteered to visit and bring us pictures.

We really need a current Situation Analysis.

Was asking about Step2 for the thread u created, but now i see its on the FP.

^^^^oh ok

well lets wait for her report bck and we can take it from there

I just left there.Hmmn na wao.

Truly,the couple exist for real.They have a baby boy and the wife is visibly pregnant.Contrary to PM news report,Mr Obuh do go out to hustle and does not sit all day sleeping and eating.

On arriving and locating them(took me almost an hour),I met Dupe and the baby boy.Started asking her questions and while at it,Mr Obuh walked in.He had with him pieces of scrap metals he got for reselling to scavengers.

and Yep,I now without doubt do believe that they might be disturbed by snakes and other rodents.The place is just filthy,area boys shyte,smoke ganja just 5 meters away from their "home".

One thing I noticed and can't help but share is this:the couple are so in love with each other and quite simple.The smile and warm reception they gave me,Dupe even offered me pure water from her bowl nearby.would start posting pics soon.

^^ Good development. do try and post these pictures.

have you seen this thread https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-802184.0.html#msg9542518

well a lot of pple wants to help so if you don't mind we can nominate you and can srt by trying to move on to the next agenda

Rent payment and any sort of empowerment will surely help this couple.

^^ I'm fully in support of this one.

we need to know how much apt cost before anything and also what area they want to move to

r231:

All they need is a single room
Area shouldn't be high on priority.
Empowerment should be the order of the day cos without that you'd just render them useless as well as being another freeloader.
Surely Mr Obuh must possess one skill or the other so helping him find an unskilled work shouldn't be a problem.
The wife's business can be expanded with a lil dosh as well. More pure water = more profit kinda thing

^^^^^True

how u dey anyways

you guys just fashy me since u didnt see me

I dey oh
You know say u be ajala, thought u travelled to naij
How madam?

she dey o
na church runs jare
but will be there nxt wknd by the grace of God

Good job Ify. Now we can involve Lawyer in the property section and i'm sure Ify would be nice enough to be a channel, from Us to them

we are very quick to judge.

let's forget about what is right and how it ought to be rightly done.

the woman is pregnant and it is late for all the talk abt family planning and safe sex until after dis baby is delivered.

we have a duty and we can choose to be our broda's keeper.

we can ensure that this woman get adequate health care in her present condition.

there's poverty every where in the world just that it exist in various degrees. we can come together to provide them with accommodation. The man cant go back to the village when he has never been there and has lived here all his life. they are living in danger and we can choose to turn a deaf ear or render a lil help.

religious bodies shld also rise up to the occasion and help pple at the grassroot level.

God bless us all.

am sure around Itire, Ijesa, Orile and co. there's shld be a room apartment btw 3-5k/month and usually u pay btw 1-2yrs + agency fees

yogun:

maybe we can do 1 to one and half yr rent and give them the rest of the money

cus its not going to be easy to raise that kind of money on NL

except if we get 20 pple dat can donate 10k each

well done Ify!!!

dat's a good start that helps to confirm reports

if truly d 1yr rent law has taken effect in Lagos as claimed then half of that amount shld get them a room to live

yogun:

if truly d 1yr rent law has taken effect in Lagos as claimed then half of that amount shld get them a room to live

so we are looking at bout 100K to raise basically

^^^
Probably best not to put a ceiling figure to what needs raising.
What y'all need to agree on is what needs doing and how you go about executing 'em to the best of y'all's abilities.
Money is the least of the problem here

^^^^oh ok

What need to do now is to find a member who will voluntarily help in estalishing a contact with the family in question.

Its wonderful to see this coming together.And a big thanks to ifyalways for comfirming the status of the couple.

This isthe newiest i've got

I will surely work on the pics and post it later i got them from Ifyalways.

Ladies and gentleman i'm so upset with these pictures lets do something. They are nothing but humans. I'll be back.
