Senator Binta Garba: I Hawked Bread, Moi Moi To Survive by mediaNGR: 7:23am On Dec 09, 2018
The first Vice-President, Commonwealth Women Parliamentarians, Senator Binta Garba, has called on Nigerians, especially youths, to be focused and not be depressed because they hold the key to the future of the country.

According to her, people see her “painted face” and wish to be like her, not knowing what she did in the past .

The lawmaker said she did everything (except prostitution), including hawking bread, selling moi moi and Kunu Zaki to survive.

She spoke in Abuja during the 2nd National Youth Economic Summit organised by the Christian Association of Nigeria (Youth Wing) in the 19 northern states and the Federal Capital Territory.

Garba, representing Adamawa North Senatorial District in the National Assembly and three times former member of the House of Representatives (1999 – 2011), said, “When you sit down here and see Binta with a painted face, you will want to be like her. But if I tell you my story, you will run away.

“I hawked bread and sold moi moi, I started working, did everything to survive, except that I didn’t sell my body. But God was so fateful, at that tender age, I never knew. But He only looked for the inner mind. This nation is blessed; over 60 per cent of the population are youths.

“I started hawking bread with N2 and became a distributor of bread at the age of 11. When you go to secondary school now and you ask a child, ‘do you want to hawk bread?’ The child will say ‘no’. Nobody wants to hawk bread because they believe it is a dirty job.”

Garba warned the youth against causing division in Nigeria, saying they should abide by the biblical principle of praying for the nation’s leaders, instead of abusing President Muhammadu Buhari.

Speaking on the occasion, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, said Nigeria had been experiencing security challenges because of lack of values.

The SGF, who noted that ethnicity, had destroyed the bond among Nigerians, expressed sadness over the security situation in the country, calling on youths to lead the vanguard in restoring peace, security and stability by helping government to provide intelligence.

Mustapha advised the youth to report any signal that could cause threats to the public, adding that for the country to develop, everyone especially the youth should shun greed, malice, deceit, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.

Hmmmm, if your name is trully "Binta" then what you have said earlier is fib ladened..... Your parent named you binta because they are ok and they were so confidential in your success....

Binta is a name far too heavy for a "below par" earner to give their wards, what as happen to names like kende, nimota, tawa, kudi, hauwa-kulu

Binta as a name is too sweet to hawk moi-moi

Mrs Binta Garba the number you are trying to call is not reachable, pls try again leta

So, does that justify the excessive emoluments you and your colleagues are collecting?

There has never been a time in Nigerian history when bigotry, tribe and Nepotism wasn't the hayday so please shift.

From Bread seller to senator.

At least the economy at that time gave you an opportunity to grow. Unlike the current economy which you and your fellow unscrupulous politicians have rendered useless.
Today a breadseller might not live up to 30 due to the hunger and hardship you and your colleagues have inflicted on the masses.

Mumu woman...

So because you hawked bread some aeons ago kids of today don't need to see it as dirty but embrace it and continue in child servitude.

How many of your kids have inherited the bread hawking from you?

Opening your mouth to spew trash like some dimwits populating this forum.
