cryYour good deed would surely be rewarded...this is what it means to be Christ-like( you fed me when i was hungry, you clothed me when i was naked, you gave me a shelter when i was homeless). You damned the risk inherent in taking a total stranger home! Heaven will speak on your behalf and whenever you call out for one help, you will have them come in multiple, by this singular act of humanity in you. Watchout!!






AMEN!!!

See you, some dey pick bottle to survive. Some go round to clean while some go round to beg. I have a 14 year old in my house as I type. He stopped me on the road begging for money and I asked him what he wanted money for, he said to eat. I was too afraid to give him my money so I took him to a road side canteen not too far from where I was having meeting. I told the food vendor to give him food whatever he wants and I paid. Still I was disturbed in my spirit. I didn't like the way he's looking so tattard and dirty. I questioned him while he was eating. I asked for his parents, he said his mom is late and his dad is in Ibadan. He ran away from his village because his step mom was maltreating him bla bla bla. I asked him where he lives, he said he sleeps in a bus. He waits for the bus driver to return from work at night and then he sleeps. So I asked him if he gets a job, will he work? He said yes. After his food, I told a guy in my church to go to where the boy says he sleeps at night to meet the bus driver for confirmation. Also the boy has his father and maternal uncle number which I collected. The bus driver confirmed that the boy do sleep in his bus at night and he was only using that to help him. I spoke to the bus driver. I called the boy Father, he said he was tired of the boy. He was sent to Islamic school, he refused to learn. He was asked to learn a hand work, he won't stay. So they got tired of him and don't care how he lives his life. I spoke to his maternal uncle, he said the boy mother is late and he is a poor man, he can't cater for the boy.
Anyway I took the boy home to our family house. Got him soap, sponge, towel to clean up, ask a boy in the compound to take him to the barber to cut his hair. Took one of my brothers clothes and gave to him.I took his before and after photos. I cleaned him up so my family members won't be scared of him or his looks rather. To cut the long story short, he is with us now. I took him to a government school, paid for his name to come out or what is it called, but considering where he was coming from and wouldn't want him to be polluted again, I took him to a private school not above my budget for him.

Now do you know if this boy had stayed too long on the street, even a day longer, he could fall into the hands of bad boys who will recruit, welcome him to Lagos and train him for their evil assignment.
That was all what I thought of that made me take the big risk of housing a total stranger. I didn't want him to fall into the wrong hands and even if he had, I was ready to get him rehabilitated.
And oh I went to the orphanage home but I was told they don't admit anyhow bla bla bla and someone will be going to Ibadan soon to know his father house.

That little boy up there could be a victim.
Street kids who grew up becoming somebody can relate to the story up.
It's very possible my dear...

There are different faces o.

I picked a boy from the beach. He was close to 13. After staying a week in my house. I decided to register him in government school. I snapped his passport and gave it to our health insurance so that he can be one of the beneficiaries. I paid for 12 passports for him at a price above what it used to be.

But something told me - All the story that this guy told you will change if something happens o. I went to the nearest police station. To tell them about the boy and my plan to foster him. The police told me it is not what they can handle but they told me to go to welfare at the nearest local government office.

The woman I met after explaining to her told the boy to go outside and wait for us.
The woman told. Oga, I am a woman and I have my own children. I can tell you from our experience that this boy is 90% not innocent. With our experience here. I just want to give him benefit of doubt. But he is likely to be lying.

She then directed us to Alakara police station at Mushin as that is the place where Lagos state have departments for such cases..


At Mushin, they started attacking the guy immediately I explained to them. I decided to ignore their treatment because I assumed they have been in the business and they know what they were doing. But at a point I also felt sorry for the boy and began to pity him. The conclusion was that I should take the guy home while they fixed a date for us to come back for them to start investigation to confirm if the guy was saying the truth.

That was all o.
The guy run away till today.That was 2017 we recently dashed out the designer clothes we bought for him.

The police told me it is not what they can handle but they told me to go to welfare at the nearest local government office.

Yes there's always a very high tendency for them to go back to the street. That's was why I didn't mind forfeiting the money I had paid for government school to a private school because I saw the possibility of him being polluted.
Also there is always traces of mixed up lies in their stories but while doing your investigation, try to take away panic from them. Assure them that no matter what it is or their mistakes, there is still room to fix them to become someone better.
Remember I said my boy seun father complained of how he refused to learn and all, I scolded him softly and also advised him and assured him of a better tomorrow if he is serious. Also before putting him in school, I asked him to choose between learning a hand work or schooling even though I wanted him to go school but he should decide because I wouldn't want to pay for school and then he won't learn. He choose school.
His first few weeks in school was difficult for him because he felt he was the oldest in class and the rest of his class mate were too smallish. I kept on advising him and also made sure I got him a coaching teacher to teach him during break time and after school.
Seun said he wants to learn barbing too which I will pay a barber close to me to teach him every evening.
Most importantly, I introduced Christ to him. I made sure he's serving in the vine yard of God.
Seun is a worker in the teenage department. We go to church together and we worship & listen to the word of God together.

The boy you picked might have been scared that you will drop him at the orphanage home because I noticed that seun was too afraid of the orphanage home when I first of all thought of dropping him there. He didn't want to go there. So those welfare scrutinizing him must have put fear in him.
You know how these our civil servant dey always behave na...

You tried that's what matters.
It's well...

Yes there's always a very high tendency for them to go back to the street. That's was why I didn't mind forfeiting the money I had paid for government school to a private school because I saw the possibility of him being polluted.
Also there is always traces of mixed up lies in their stories but while doing your investigation, try to take away panic from them. Assure them that no matter what it is or their mistakes, there is still room to fix them to become someone better.
Remember I said my boy seun father complained of how he refused to learn and all, I scolded him softly and also advised him and assured him of a better tomorrow if he is serious. Also before putting him in school, I asked him to choose between learning a hand work or schooling even though I wanted him to go school but he should decide because I wouldn't want to pay for school and then he won't learn. He choose school.
...
You tried that's what matters.
It's well...

People, see. "Her boy Seun".

She is playing the mother's role with pride. She has thrown herself into this role and her gifts will be repaid with interest. The pride you feel when someone you mentor achieves something is unquantifiable, trust me.

Her life is set to be enriched with each milestone - imagine at Seun's wedding sef? She will dance tire.

God continue to bless this woman, and anyone else inspired to do same.

There are different faces o.

I picked a boy from the beach. He was close to 13. After staying a week in my house. I decided to register him in government school. I snapped his passport and gave it to our health insurance so that he can be one of the beneficiaries. I paid for 12 passports for him at a price above what it used to be.

But something told me - All the story that this guy told you will change if something happens o. I went to the nearest police station. To tell them about the boy and my plan to foster him. The police told me it is not what they can handle but they told me to go to welfare at the nearest local government office.

The woman I met after explaining to her told the boy to go outside and wait for us.
The woman told. Oga, I am a woman and I have my own children. I can tell you from our experience that this boy is 90% not innocent. With our experience here. I just want to give him benefit of doubt. But he is likely to be lying.

She then directed us to Alakara police station at Mushin as that is the place where Lagos state have departments for such cases..


At Mushin, they started attacking the guy immediately I explained to them. I decided to ignore their treatment because I assumed they have been in the business and they know what they were doing. But at a point I also felt sorry for the boy and began to pity him. The conclusion was that I should take the guy home while they fixed a date for us to come back for them to start investigation to confirm if the guy was saying the truth.

That was all o.
The guy run away till today.That was 2017 we recently dashed out the designer clothes we bought for him.


Oga even me I wud b tempted to run o. they hadn't even confirmed if he had a case and they already pounced on him in that manner, ahn ahn. don't you know how the mind of an abused child works? fear. fear often dictates their action.
I'm not saying he must have been innocent; what I'm saying is that there's a huge chance that he ran not because of fear of his lawful apprehension but fear of the opposite.

[quyou are absolutely correct. God will help and bless you for taking care of this boy.
There are many young ones boys/girls who are abandoned by their relatives. They are exposed to wicked and criminal minded people.

See you, some dey pick bottle to survive. Some go round to clean while some go round to beg. I have a 14 year old in my house as I type. He stopped me on the road begging for money and I asked him what he wanted money for, he said to eat. I was too afraid to give him my money so I took him to a road side canteen not too far from where I was having meeting. I told the food vendor to give him food whatever he wants and I paid. Still I was disturbed in my spirit. I didn't like the way he's looking so tattard and dirty. I questioned him while he was eating. I asked for his parents, he said his mom is late and his dad is in Ibadan. He ran away from his village because his step mom was maltreating him bla bla bla. I asked him where he lives, he said he sleeps in a bus. He waits for the bus driver to return from work at night and then he sleeps. So I asked him if he gets a job, will he work? He said yes. After his food, I told a guy in my church to go to where the boy says he sleeps at night to meet the bus driver for confirmation. Also the boy has his father and maternal uncle number which I collected. The bus driver confirmed that the boy do sleep in his bus at night and he was only using that to help him. I spoke to the bus driver. I called the boy Father, he said he was tired of the boy. He was sent to Islamic school, he refused to learn. He was asked to learn a hand work, he won't stay. So they got tired of him and don't care how he lives his life. I spoke to his maternal uncle, he said the boy mother is late and he is a poor man, he can't cater for the boy.
Anyway I took the boy home to our family house. Got him soap, sponge, towel to clean up, ask a boy in the compound to take him to the barber to cut his hair. Took one of my brothers clothes and gave to him.I took his before and after photos. I cleaned him up so my family members won't be scared of him or his looks rather. To cut the long story short, he is with us now. I took him to a government school, paid for his name to come out or what is it called, but considering where he was coming from and wouldn't want him to be polluted again, I took him to a private school not above my budget for him.

Now do you know if this boy had stayed too long on the street, even a day longer, he could fall into the hands of bad boys who will recruit, welcome him to Lagos and train him for their evil assignment.
That was all what I thought of that made me take the big risk of housing a total stranger. I didn't want him to fall into the wrong hands and even if he had, I was ready to get him rehabilitated.
And oh I went to the orphanage home but I was told they don't admit anyhow bla bla bla and someone will be going to Ibadan soon to know his father house.

That little boy up there could be a victim.
Street kids who grew up becoming somebody can relate to the story up.
It's very possible my dear...

He is talking rubbish! Need of water made him to follow a stranger and acting as brother? You can't beg 5 people for N20 to buy water without one having mercy on you.

And to the shop owner who is still a Zombie in 2019.

A "12 years old" street boy that picks carton to sell on the street is = 25 years old in civilised country age. I can say with 98% certainty that this boy is far from innocent, this is a well planned scam...... angry
