Are there no ways skolombo gang can be rehab?

What is skolombo gang about?

Rugaria:
The governors of Cross Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Edo are all responsible for this. That of Akwa Ibom and Cross Rivers have never lifted their hands to do something about the gross abuse of children in these places. This has been going on for centuries and they have all kept quiet. Even when the white lady saved that kid and brought all sorts of international attention to this nonsense, they never took any action because deep down, they believe that a child can be born a witch/wizard.

This is reprehensible and should be condemned. Unfortunately we have a tone deaf presidency. Otherwise, actions would have been taken to force the governors to act. It's the same problem with Edo state . Those ones earn more forex from international prostitution than some African countries do from legitimate exports. . For years now and all the governments both at the center and the state levels can do is to periodically churn out worn out platitudes.. Big shame..

TRASH!!!

Minime10:
These are skolombo gang na

They are children though.

This is so heartbreaking

Nicepoker:
Skolombo gang. They are criminals. I almost ran into their trap far back 2012.

They are children regardless. They may have been forced into gang life with nowhere else to turn for help.

Yet the governor of akwa ibom is claiming to build "churches" for God

These children are called skolombos.. they pickpocket, beg, cause nuisance by jumping on taxis and will never agree to go back to their families. They are mostly in groups, and in a few years they'll graduate from pocket picking to real robbery.. If you doubt me come to to Old Ikang, First Bank by Marian road or any eatery at all.

This small thing u saw you are busy making noise...Come to North

I think no matter what are the offences of these kids, they shouldn't be left completely in the street. Or is there nothing at all we as a society can do to cater for these kids? Whether we like it or not, these kids are only growing up to become hardened criminals - future armed robbers, terrorists, kidnappers, ritualists, rapists, political assassins and more.

We are already battling with insecurity around the country. Meanwhile, we are also grooming others that will become future threat to the security of the country.

I really felt bad seeing kids in the position I did last night. What can we do to help them please? Any any government agencies, NGO or individuals that can pick up their case and give them life worth living? I don't think anyone deserves to sleep so openly outside like this, not to talk of kids.

For the sake of humanity, I therefore volunteer myself for any assignment that could bring succor to these kids.

Very common sight in Uyo and Cali, the govt should help this kids

Skolombo boys. They are mostly hardened criminals. Be careful with them.

Who tip that sand and granite for there use take cover road?

Hmm

I helped one I knew how it ended. You can continue from where I stopped.

Until the economy picks up, these things will only get worse.
More kids on the street
More kids out of school
More kids that the parents can't cater for properly

There is a limit to what NGOs or Churches or Philanthropy organizations can do.

A better economy puts money in people's pocket
People with money in their pocket can provide better for kids.

Anything else will lead to more failures like this in the long run

Thank God no that isn't a
skull ☠️☠️☠️ mining location....

That it ended badly does not mean we should stop trying. These kids will grow up to perpetrate worse crimes if the cycle is not truncated at some point.

Hello, Mr. Tony Elumelu.

My name is Professor M.E.I. I know you are very knowledgeable and passionate about helping less privileged children, especially these unfortunate ones that have found themselves out on this street, exposed to hunger, crime and worst still, their untimely death in the hands of desperate wealth-seekers.

Over the years, I have seen firsthand some of the great things you are doing for society’s men and women in your Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship foundation.

In my view, I think you should benevolently extend some of that good into helping children. True that you—or anybody else reading this, do not owe these children any allegiance or aid. It is unfortunate that one would never know why their parents have forsaken them in this manner.
The individuals they consider their world has let them down. Please, do not let them down.

This is my email address iamvarang007@gmail.com. I'd love to know how I can possibly utilize whatever resources you’ve decided to, in the course of good Justice and natural conscience, help these children. I’m willing to put them through school, and personally ensure that in a decades’ time, we turn around the lives of these children.

I'd totally understand if you cannot respond to this because of your busy schedule, but I will be glad if you do.

The hustle is real.

Count me in.
I will assist as well.

When some people will be birthing like mouse without considering their financial capability to take proper care of them

Terrorism, stage one loading...

They will say God told them to be fruitful and multiply. Then they turn around and accuse the child of witchcraft.

How I wish the reproductive organ can stop functioning once a male/female starts reasoning with their groin region.

Hmmm...if you see what little boys smaller than this tried to do to me at Asaba.. around 9pm in traffic,you won't have pity on them .I bought a bottle of soft drink and these boys numbering about 7 just came out of the bush ,when i brought out my wallet to pay the one selling the drink,and just surrounded me ,before they could do anything though,a police hilux van taking one way was coming towards us and they ran away...omo...i dropped the drink and ran to my side of the road,where many cars and passengers were present.

Op atleast be consoled that the street is clean...as for the homeless kids Nigeria cannot be complete with them loitering around....its a common sight.

The ones under ijora Olopa even smoke weeds and carry olosho after a hard day hustling to calm their nerves.

They could be legends not desiring to return home. Dont play with these legends o..if they wan stubborn..their stubborness dey shock.

This is a sad development. I saw a lot of kids on the streets of kano during my service year but this seems to be happening right now in Enugu. There's an influx of beggars on the streets now especially children.

Hunger is too much in the East. The cost of living is beyound the ordinary Igbo man. Most Men in that region can no longer take care of their family. 3 squire meal is a mystery in that region.

May God help our people in the East
