Did You Hawk Anything On The Streets As A Child ?

i havent said it is not . . . why do you think i moved here too? 

I'm just amused each time i see people trumpet "american citizen" as if that is the solution to every problem under the sun. I've seen american citizens who have no food to eat and no house to call their own.

it always amuses me the way people assume this is equivalent to living the dream. Success is not dependent on your passport. 


Davidlyand or what you call your names, my passport means nothing but I have achieved things in life that you have not, I am not talking just because of  passport, I am saying I thank God for my life entire life. I am a Registered nurse in american at 23years old. Thank God. u need to stop hay, hi hater

ok o. but we're talking abt immigrants to us.
no need to start cursing now haba

I didnt curse, simply put you both in your place.
Of course it makes perfect sense to be a legal immigrant if you want to take advantage of opportunities around you. But the way she put "american citizen" you'd think citizens of Gabon or Mauritania will never make it in life.

yes, osisi please remove that tufiakwa from the poll. those of us wey sell kpoff kpoff and odobiri ofuchie for mann street junction, owerri, no be God create us?  

abeg comot the tufiakwa jare

Oyinda, thanks my nigerian sister. one love. I hear u,  I will leave that fool called David alone. Keep talking David haters. God let me shine infront of my enemy. Amen.

Hmmm, how time flies. Wetin man no sell, while In Primary School, I would willingly want to follow grandma apprentices to hawk stuffs ranging from

garri, rice, beans using the then OYO state kobiowu for measuring food stuff stuff in those day.
Kuli Kuli, Dodonfua, Tomatoes, Tantase surely made the list

While on Holidays will follow Grandma to the market and hawk nylon bag within the market environ, ice water (nothing like pure water then)
Our house is situated on the main road that leads to the eid praying ground, trust i always look forward to the eid period as that was always an avenue to bring out the entrepreneurial skills in me hawking ice water, boiled egg, "fan ice" (ice water mixed with some coloring)

While helping Sweet Mother to get bread from the bakery to sell in the shop or hawk around.

All this didnt stop me from completing daily homework from school and was lucky to stay within 1st to third position through the primary school days

Till date, I never felt i was abused as a child just felt i needed to do those stuff as a thank you to Grandma and Sweet Mother who would stop at nothing to see us succeed.

Still hawk while in the Junior Secondary School and was never ashamed when some girls in my class saw me hawking with a bowl of garri or beans on my head as the next time we discuss could be while trying to explain Pythagoras' Theorem to her in the class.

What a nice experience it was, i believe the experience is what has always make "unhappy" anytime i'm not making any cash outside the normal paycheck, though was on a paycheck of tax free of more than 100,000USD at 27. I still feel limited and constrained to shoot for the moon, which explain why some colleagues still call me PP (Private Practice) as i always embrace cool idea to make some bucks outside the regular paychek

@ woomie, sky is your limit??? we have re-written that phrase my sister, there shouldn't be a limit really, let sky be the beginning

I hawked cocaine.

I never had the chance to hawk.

hahahahhahhaha . Started when I was in Primary 4 or 5, though was with my parents. I started with oranges, then garri, then cooked groundnuts, most when I came back from school. Lest I shud 4get, i also sold softdrinks, all in Fegge, Onitsha.

Yes, on one of those days I was caught by the hawker's permit people. they took us to a Police Post in Fegge, and we were bailed, but we were detained. I was that kain 10yrs, was in my primary 5 or 6, coudnt remember vividly

yes soya milk, my best friend mom made her sell soya milk and she'd ask me to hawk along with my friend and we'd take turns, one carry cooler of zobo and the other hawk soya milk and i was more than happy to sell it i dint see anything wrong in befriending the poor or hawking i had free spirit as a kid, ERA ZOBO E KONGBE O!, SOYA TUTU RE O! ZOBO META N10! auntie ebami ra. it made my mum cry onetime but i wouldn't leave that girl alone lol but when my dad returned i had to stop, i remembered one pervert customers that sells car spare part asked us to squeeze each other's armpit lol
