Nigerian In Italy Gets Fined For Sweeping The Street For Money, Fine Ge Cleared by Nobody: 8:44am On Sep 26, 2019 |
A local council in northern Italy has cancelled a fine imposed on a Nigerian migrant for sweeping streets without permission. The unemployed 29-year-old, named Monday, had decided to clean streets in the Venice suburb of Mestre instead of begging passersby for money. He initially received a €350 ($383; £309) penalty. But protests led officials to withdraw it. The fine also prompted an online appeal to raise money to pay it. "I would like to integrate myself honestly in your society without asking for alms," he wrote on a cardboard sign, displayed nearby while he swept. "I will keep your street clean and ask only a contribution for my work." In a Facebook post, Matteo D'Angelo - who started the online appeal - said the migrant had swept up "leaves that block the drains every time it rains, cigarette butts and all the rubbish that we civilised citizens throw on the ground. "Woe betide a poor chap who tries to integrate himself," he added. Monday's actions reportedly drew police attention after complaints from residents. But the fine was withdrawn after police received four phone calls from other local residents who defended him. Authorities said the fine had been given by officers who were new and inexperienced. Immigration continues to be a controversial issue in Italy, where thousands of migrants have arrived in recent years. Last week, Italy and France called for a new system to automatically redistribute migrants across the European Union. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-49831755 7 Likes 2 Shares

One of the people that successfully crossed the Mediterranean. At least this one is not constituting nuisance like most of his African counterparts there. Nothing beats legal migration sha 114 Likes 7 Shares |

Authorities said the fine had been given by officers who were new and inexperienced. OR the fine had been given by officers who are full blown RACIST... A very special migrant decide to keep your city clean and the best way you could reward him is by giving him a €350 fine? If this is not a Racist tendency, I don't know what other name to call it then. 40 Likes 3 Shares

But the fine was withdrawn after police received four phone calls from other local residents who defended him.This is a society that works. We pray we get there too in our darling nation. The foundation destroyed is being built gradually. "I would like to integrate myself honestly in your society without asking for alms," he wrote on a cardboard sign, displayed nearby while he swept. "I will keep your street clean and ask only a contribution for my work."As long as this is more better than some animals soiling the country's name abroad, We hope he finds a better job to do as long as he is not an amputee and he can take this as a part-time job to better the society he lives in, if he so wishes. He can't be doing this on a permanent basis abroad and waiting for what motorists give him. Mba! Well, at the end....every man do what makes them happy! 7 Likes 2 Shares |

My advice to the EU is not to stop migrants from coming into their country, rather to harness their energy and use them for cheaper labour as most of the migrants crossing the Mediterranean come from very harsh backgrounds and wouldn't mind working hard for something tangible at least... Let them look at those jobs like agriculture, sanitation etc and integrate these migrants and see if their economy won't receive a boost. 7 Likes |

Italy has high unemployment caused by rigid labour laws. Just imagine for a minute if government enforced the 30,000 minimum wage? Millions of people will lose their jobs. Rigid labour laws makes it costly to hire and fire workers and therefore countries with them tend to have high unemployment rates. Countries with flexible labour laws such as the US and UK have much lower unemployment rates, so low at times, what they really have is full employment and a tight labour market where getting workers can be tough 4 Likes |

Wow! The length at which certain Nigerians will go just to eke out a living. I can bet this same man will never dream of doing same in his country......, after spending all the money for flight ticket and visa processing (that's ofcourse if he didn't pass through Libya) he ended up sweeping the streets of Italy unsolicited, constituting nuisance and further battering our already comatose reputation. Its well 2 Likes |
