Bro, the fact that you had a tougher time than this girl does not mean you shouldn’t be empathetic towards her situation.

First of all, you said “me and my niggaasss”. I believe that means you didn’t Walk to school alone right?
This girl is clearly walking alone in that lonely looking road and I’m seriously concerned for her safety.

If there’s anyway we can donate to provide her parents with a bike to take her to school and bring her back, that would be awesome.

Despite the daily routine of stressful trek, I'm sure before she reach 12years of age, she will end up being married to an elderly pedophile hiding under religion teachings. I pity all the helpless girls in the North.

Happily, someone gifted her a bicycle. Only God knows what the future holds for this determined girl.

Wow. I'm impressed. Train a man and you've trained an individual. Educate a woman and you've trained a whole nation.

I trecked from ijesha to Eric Moore for 6 year ..

How is this a great feat..

Who put this on front page ?

Honestly, i don't know who posted this to the front page. Yeah it's hardwork for an 8 year old girl given the risks and not to take anything away from her struggles but just using Google map to calculate the distance i walked daily during my schooling time was 8km to and fro . And after getting back home from school at 3pm one still had to trek another 4km to and fro for evening Islamic classes that starts by 4:30pm. So people should stop making this seem like it's a feat or extraordinary.

She needs all the help she can get but don't sensationalize things. Thousands of Nigerian kids do these daily.

it's a great feat in the north because the north has brainwashed little girls of her age that they're born to be married.infact some of her mates have been bethroted to one old dirty pedophile.this one used determination to go to school which is rare among girls of her age grade


Her mates are busy sucking one 59 year old pedophiles phenese or cutting vegetables while she's on her way to school.why won't she be celebrated

2km is not far, even at that age. Just a few generations ago in America (when it was more rural), it was common for most kids to walk further than that. Just a few generations ago, even with cars in most driveways, people still walked to run errands. They only used a car for very long distances. Now, Americans are obese because they think walking to the mailbox is too much.

That is a time of about 30 minutes assuming an average velocity of 4km/hr since our subject is just a child.

Soooo love this your response!...I.know he'll pretend he didn't read it.
@ topic.... I was watching a documentary on why Kenyans dominate the marathons.... even though foreigners troop in to their camps for extensive training ... but are never successful. They say it takes like 10 years ... foreigners arrive at age 16.... Kenyan children been trekking serious distances to and from school daily. By the time they enter the camp at age 16... they already got 10 years under the belt.
Maybe instead of bicycle.... this girl should continue her trekking ...maybe our greatest athlete in the making. They should try her out in athletics... see what raw talent she has in long distance races.Just saying.
Good Afternoon.
