Was dashing somewhere when I saw this boy sleeping under the bridge at university of uyo Annex on a Sunday morning. From investigations I carried out, this homeless boy has been sleeping there for over a year. It's sad we have a church opposite the bridge , 2 churches & one mosque in uniuyo close to the bridge and over 20 churches around the school environment but no one is willing to save this child. I saw lots of injuries on his body and he looks quite unkempt .


Since the church has failed him. I am hoping Nairaland can save the boy o. if I do get some money today I am planning to get him some clothes and treat his wound.

Who gave him such a nice haircut?

Hmmmm
This life!

If its to collect tithe or marrying underage girl our religion extremists would know how to foster the idea, but is never their duty when it comes humanity.

Eyaa

why this conclusion? The person in your neighborhood that needs help, have you ever offered help?

It's not easy oo

Sorry lil boi. Forget churches ehn. Only few churches really care abt others now.
And mosque....I don't even think Muslims help ppl like this right from time. Christians have always been the one. Well. I pray the guy encounters God's favour through a good Samaritan.

op, are you for real? he has been sleeping there for over a year and no one has helped him? there must be more to the story.

yup for over a year.

-

Check the circumstances which brought him there
Most common in that part of the country is
1. Runaway from wicked madam
2. Death of parent
3. Witchcraft accusations
4. Missing persons

He could also be one of the denigrate from the North

Know what you are dealing with first

SixDividedByTwo:
that's really pathetic. i wonder why the
and mosque around him have never made any attempt to help him, if true.
//have you approached him to talk with him in order to hear his story? I'm assuming he has no home to return to or has been kicked out
then...
_he should be taken to the hospital for a checkup and to have his wounds treated.
_he needs food, he needs clothes. most importantly, he needs to be in School and needs a home to be returning to. is there a decent NGO in the area to take up his case or do you think you can?

Religion is meant to suck off the rich and the poor...

What have you people done to help others? Every small thing church this, church that... Is it not humans that make up the church?

Because an attack on the church is an attack on me.

There are too many scams on this forum - too many people begging for money to complete their final year. How are we sure this is not just another scam?

Yeah. And all those pedophiles, kidnappers, and ritualists just stay away from him

Hard to believe. Looks like a boy resting under the shade, probably a street Hawker.

Looks like he's resting, nice hair cut too. It's not possible for such a little kid to survive on the street alone for one whole year. OP, did he tell you he's been there for a year, how does he know

if he were to be one, he would probably have a bucket or plastic or something he uses to hawk. saw that guy there last year

even the business churches? Most churches have lost their sense of responsibility. One of the main essence of a church to succumb to the needy and support the poor.What we see today is far from it

Exponental:

why this conclusion? The person in your neighborhood that needs help, have you ever offered help?

you know nothing about me, are you an extremist?

jashar:

because many churches don't encourage humanity.if the pastors encourage that members will change their mindset.
