Was there anything wrong with that.

It's a normal thing for ogas in companies to give lunch( out station allowance)
to security attached to them.

In my former company whenever we were going out of base, money was handed to me and when we got to where we were going I will give everyone his own, including our escorts.

So what exactly is the big deal

EducationRe: Chess Master Tunde Onakoya Grants Full Scholarship To Girl Exposed To 4 AM Work by IPDGP: 9:17am On Apr 02, 2025
othermen:
She was right to condemn child labour.
She was right to protect the child.
She was right to hold her accountable.
She was right to raise awareness.

You and others are not right to bully her. Calling her cruel and uncompassionate.
And Adetoun was not right to cave in, as she did.

A child should not be waking up at 3AM to sweep an estate when they should be resting and preparing for school. The mother continues to give birth, and she must care for all of them in this crazy economy. Enough to rebuke her for being selfish and not having parental responsibility. She can’t possibly provide for the four children: education, healthcare or stable upbringing, -and the children are put in the cycle of poverty.

But it doesn’t matter to us all. And it never matters to us all, unless it’s an opportunity for us to proclaim ourselves some form of messiah. Or it will matter to some of you, only because you will fancy your parents or parents struggles in that woman. So, this will not merely seem to you to be detached from reality, but an attack on your ideals or parents. And you will say, how can one not sympathize with the poor mother? You were successful, but millions more have failed just coz of this shared hardship you perpetuate and justify. You became stronger and wiser, but millions more were permanently harmed and lost their future. Your experience of the struggle does not drive an iota of awareness to share an advocacy for the children. Rather, than pointing out the gaps in the woman’s behavior and having an outrage for the systemic issues that have caused hardship, your sense is wired to think ‘hardship is a rite of passage, because from it, I gained my resilience.’ It’s this mindset that creates an ideology that does not resist systemic issues. And one must not question or challenge an oppressive system that is perpetuated by ignorance just because she is a poor woman. A child helping a struggling parent in small ways is one thing, but you all think waking up at 3 AM for labour is right. You don’t care what sleep deprivation could do to her physical health, her concentration. a girl that is already malnourished must be further exposed to harsh conditions, and when she is exhausted, to poor academic performance, to limits in future opportunities.

So he tells us that the child is working out of economic necessity. And that the mother needs compassion.

So others will argue that the focus of the video, should have been on the economic hardship that people have to endure.
Instead, Adetoun was just a villain, an oppressor, as she could have engaged the cleaner/mother privately and not publicly shame her, or be condescending in her approach. she had not cared about the dignity of the mother, and she only humiliated her, rather than empower her.

Adetoun capitulated coz the validation from social media matters. That was why she did the video in the first place. Not because she gave a damn about the child’s life. Than the aftermath. The crying and kneeling and wailing. All in the very manipulative lots.

Folks pushed her to reveal her performative righteousness.

And because validation matters to her- she rewarded this woman after the backlash. It alleviated her immediate struggles.

The country also shows its false outrage, as though her situation is not the lots of millions of people in the country. We pretend that suffering is not the norm for the lots. Or that the mother was justified.

Adetoun received more outrage than we give to those who orchestrated policies that have entrenched sufferings.

Now, there are other struggling women who have not made their children work, but remain unseen and unsupported. And nobody cares about them. They were unsure about the tactics of giving birth to many kids, then using those kids or maiming them to generate some form of income on the streets.

Now, Onakoya, who is another person wired for validation sees an opportunity, to enrich his own social capital. And yes, I must thank him. Someone else can cater for the 3 siblings or for the children and their mothers that now sweep and wash the gutters that his mother washed, the children from the north that are your domestic servants, or the children I won’t see tomorrow, for they already died in hazardous child labour.

There are several children, women in this country, with much worse fate. But they are not on social media or the source of any social capital: Mr Onakoya and all of us can’t care as there’s no social recognition. Performative altruism which doesn’t fix the individual choices/ structural conditions that have birth the situation or made suffering into some spectacle is what we are enthralled. A miracle, a divine intervention.

What have I ever done to contribute to the alleviation of situations of people??
Nothing superficial and performative.

And you would find folks out there creating awareness and bringing about genuine changes for thousands of lives. Even saving them from death. Not just jumping in spaces, and using these vulnerable lots to enrich themselves.
Na your type do the video, only if u know how some dey take survive, probably u were bought up with gold silver or bronze spoon, those of us with wooden or no spoon at all can understand.

ISLAM is a religion with rules and guidelines... Nothing good comes easy.. you can't practice Islam the way you wish just like Christianity.
You guys think is easy to enter paradise for a perpetual enjoyment? You have to work for it while you are alive. You christians and other Faith followers should please carryout your research on ISLAM because to die as a non Muslim is a great loss and you will face the consequences of that in the hellfire forever and ever... Please, this issue is not a joke, read about Islam

You are wrong my brother.
Your religion was not recognized by any prophets of God, what's why you can do anything you like, you can drink, fornicate, at your own wish.. Islam is not like that because it is a religion of God, that's why it is guided by many principles.... I think you understand now? That's why all prophets of God are Muslims because they were all guided and follow God's will and principles... My brother you have a lot to learn and to unlearn.
All prophet of God are Muslim, are you joking or high on weed.
My religion is best practiced cause it's about freedom and not slavery, some judgements are left to God, no one can fight for God he doesn't need us except to worship him.

Your Islam prophet has bought more harm than good to planet earth.
Anywhere u see terrorist they are always Islam what can you say about that , nothing cause your prophet was also busy killing all around how is that defines as religion of peace
