SeaTrade:
Have been very busy all through today trying to fix some things,

So after all that ,decided to go to coldstone to grab some ice cream to calm my head.
Seated inside,wasn't so pleased while I was having it because I saw a lot of things I don't like.

1) Parents pampering unruly children. If you carry that behaviour come close to me I will give you a stern warning infront of your parents regardless the outcome.

2) Treating maids like subhumans. Nigerians are very fond of this, like it's so easy to spot the maid amongst them because usually they cloth them in rags,their hair always turn to baobab tree under their watch whereas their kids always look fly and fresh,they are being talked to so rudely and with so much authority whereas their kids who might probably amount to nothing in life are always spoon-fed and get the best treatments,seated at different tables even though they came together, atleast the one I see today them try buy am ice cream sha

Anyways,got uncomfortable with the whole environment and left.

Got to my car,a kid (10-12yrs)approached me and asked me for food money or something ,didn't respond as I usually never do cos I really don't like begging ,but then as I was about to leave ,I asked the boy why he doesn't get a small job instead rather than beg?
His response shocked me till now.
He told me if I could buy him a box of pure water to sell,that I will not see him there again begging.

Was dumbfounded as I didn't expect that kind of a response from him considering his age and also I thought he was one of those career beggars.

I wanted to give him cash but didn’t have any,I told him I will come back,and left.
Now I wanted to go and withdraw and give him cash but on a second thought, I said why don't I go and get him those wares instead rather than hand him cash?Atleast he will have to work to sell them off to generate cash from it ,which will teach him some principles of money atleast.

Went to the closest store, bought Ten 12bottles/pack bottled water ,load up and head back there.

Looked for him a bit around and later found him sitting helplessly,hopelessly,aimlessly on a culvert looking very frustrated mehn,probably thought I won't come back.That thought still never commot from my head like this.
Anyways,handed them over to him,advised and encouraged him a little,asked how he was gonna refrigerate them?

He said there are some abokis in his street that can do that for him and he will pay them small money.
Asked how he was gonna sell?He said he will take them to pleasure park tomorrow to sell.Was impressed at his sharpness tbh..he had answers to all I was asking even though he was shivering a bit cos he was intimidated or something.

Wished him well,help carry them close to the road,before I could turn to head home ,he had already moved them to the median of the road and I think I saw him counting the bottles or so ,couldn't figure as I passed fast,
Reached a turn,turned again to go add his inventory but dude was already gone.Damn!
Anyways make we dey see...just make we dey see.

I think Nigerian Parents, the church and religion are the reason why children are still experiencing this kind of suffering at this point in humanity.

Felt really bad today mehn,really bad.
It's to be selecting the ones that want to hustle from them and help and leave the career beggars alone .


Children only,no old person.

well i try self service for the first time yestaday when watch Game of trone......dint enjoyit sir!!

you are annoying

chloride6:
Can't you get by without insulting people?

Are you a child?

marttol:
you are annoying

That's okay.

Insults on the other hand are never okay.

Have a nice day.

Something you can't just take your eyes off even when you want to mind your business! God will remember you too for Good �❤

Saynoomore:
As far as I'm concerned, what you have just done is practical Christianity!

Being a Christian does not begin & end with going to church.

Forget whatever turns out as the outcome. You have played your part. The little lad might make some mistakes in the line if his new-found business, but he will learn and improve, and hopefully tell his story someday. I'm sure he won't forget your gesture.

If he is in Lagos, and you can give a vivid description of where you found him, pls pm me.

Cheers bro!


Edited,

This is not about religion it is just about being good, helping one another in need. Let's leave religion out of this please

Fountainofyouth:
I'd rather you locate the boy's parents and offer to sponsor his schooling up to tertiary education, that would be putting a good use of your seatrade money, don't you think so, my Christian brother

Mbanu, it would not work with these people except he pays for the fees directly and the boy stays far away from them.

They see nothing wrong with their circumstances; you are the one pitying them.

And they have crab mentality: they rather drag you down to their level than let you pull them up to yours.

crafteck:
Been hit by the realisation that no matter how hard you try legally as an average Nigerian you can never make it

What kind of defeatist attitude is this?

[color=olive]I wonder how or why the picture you painted is caused by religion/the church though...?[/color]

I wonder too oh. Abeg make op come explain wetin him mean oh.

joyousever:
Op, you funny no be small. In fact, your writing style cracked me up through the reading . You said you asked him why he didn't rather get a job rather than begging and you were at the same time shocked at his response of promising to leave the streets if he were given wares to sell, being that he was a minor. Funny you .

TBH there’s nothing like “minor” in Nigeria. Go out to the streets and see what children “minors” are doing. This is the reality of where we are in Nigeria today.

You cannot even justify education anymore because after many many years the graduates are unemployed or earn nonsense working full time or not even paid for many months just like that.

If the kid start with that little stock of pure water and remain consistent for a full year then he will be better than a graduate. That’s the reality!

All this long epistle to counter my harmless comment that's borne out of humour? Please swerve!

My man, you've done well. Well I hope you didn't take your cigarettes while on the cold stone ice cream? I didn't see the pictures on the food thread.

Adaanna:
Chai!! God bless you abundantly Amen.

The way some people are treating their maids it's so bad. If you can't treat them like your own why bring them to suffer/punish them?

I always tell people around me to treat people well because you don't know the head that will wear the crown tomorrow.

.


It is not even about treating people well because of head wey go wear crown tomorrow, forget that one.. Treat people well because it the basic expected from a decent human being.. Not because you think they may be in a position to be a benefactor in some future.

HUSTLER001:
Go back to that same spot in 2weeks time to find if you will meet him there and if you don't just take him to children welfare. It clearly shows he prefers to constitute nuisance to society.

Lol how easy is it to survive on a carton of bottled water? Let's be honest with ourselves, how much profit will he make from selling it? Will he feed from it too? Many poor dudes you see around aren't lazy, they have tried their best and are still willing to do more.

Especially fructose sugar

CountVersailles:
"Ice cream's high sugar content is similarly bad for your heart health – since consuming too much sugar is associated with a higher risk of contracting cardiovascular disease (CVD)."

You did well bro, about people treating maids, I picked one some years ago , took her like my kid, clothes her infact you cants believe she is a maid, but when you give the that privellage they now grow above you. You become their mate, they start directing you, last last eyeing your husband. Talking from experience

chatinent:
Those career beggars have made the real ones unfortunate.

Today, I dey complain say I never chop morning food na so one boy come drag my top say “brother please give me money, I never chop since yesterday (x2)”. I focused my spirit to ignore him until he repeated it again; I nearly broke his spinal cord if my hand touched him. This is sb I saw eating rice with about three pieces of meat while I was coming. He was the one who made me more hungry.

LOL.

Actually religion encourages its followers to grow and multiply, because children are a gift from God and God will take control of everything. So lots of parents use this as a reason to bring children into the world they can't take care of.

Epic lame. Tell.me something else
