Did you take into thinking if the kids are being sent to school?
Did you for once think about the future of those lil kids, you are all about young lads engaging in scavenging just to fend for themselves and their parents.......are you guys normal!!!

Isn't it the responsibility of the parents to provide for the lil ones? Then why are the lil ones also hustling?

Some of Una just lack sense ......tah!!!

All these are stories to most Nigerian men and women🤣

I don't have much strength to type this evening. POVERTY, STUPIDITY & FOOLISHNESS can never be eradicated in Nigeria as long as the country remains one. The Sole beneficiaries will always want it to remain like that.

Ever since the day I realized most Nigerians can't be helped. I have been living a peaceful and lovely life.

Meanwhile una eyes don dey clear now abi🤣

The Go And Marry GANG!
The Go And Start Small GANG!
The Your Blessings Will Manifest When You Marry And Give Birth To A Child GANG!


You Gullibles are just seeing what we the Well Educated & Spiritualists have seen a long time ago.

The Fact is there are more EVIL Wise people in the world most especially among Black People who will always leverage on the stupidity and foolishness of the UNWISE Ones.
It's wickedness to keep birthing kids you can't raise.

COMRADES, I am creating this post in response to a thread created yesterday by a fellow Nairalander that; when he's married his living condition will be better! That he is tired of living in abject poverty! (I'll be very happy if the mods can attach that link to this post)

https://www.nairaland.com/8245002/life-get-better-when-got

I went to see a friend today, unfortunately, when I called her, she told me that she was not around, then I decided to stroll back home; on my way home, lo and behold! This is what I saw! A family of four: 'papa, mama, senior pikin, and junior pikin' carrying dirty sack bags on their heads, immediately, my curiosity was aroused! Then I said let me trail these guys and see what they were carrying, and where they were going! After trailing them for a long distance/ journey, then I discovered that they were scavengers! In awe, and disbelief, I'd exclaimed and asked myself!...a whole family scavenging in order to survive?

FIRST PHOTO; is the last kid, age between 9-10 years old

SECOND PHOTO; is the first son age between 11-12 years old, he was the first to arrive at the selling point, you can see that he is sorting the garbage/ market

THIRD PICTURE; their father walking barefooted, when you look at the photo of the father, you'll see that from afar there is a little school boy also staring at the father and the last child, a mild drama was played out at that moment, the mother of the little boy and his sisters had already boarded an autorigshow (keke) but the little boy has refused to follow them in, he stood outside staring at the scavengers...only God knows what was in the mind of that child

LAST PHOTO; when we all arrived at the selling point, then I looked at the other direction, there, I saw their mother coming to join them; I tried to know about the transaction, then the buyer (a Hausa guy) approached me (because I looked suspicious) and asked me, 'hope it is OK', I replied him in Hausa, 'yes it is'...I lost my way, then I left them there!

My advice to every single person/bachelor out there is that; things are not longer getting better in this country, always get yourself prepared before getting a woman pregnant or
married, don't allow anyone to push you into unprepared marriage and thereafter remained unarranged and scattered for the rest of your life!
Thank you all

In this life, there is no special preparation for anything. Just do it, anything you see you take. One day, death no go even give you sign, he go Nak you uppercut and that's it. No time for preparation, just do it and burn.

OP you try. But look at the majority of replies to your post and see just how hopeless and bra1n-dead Nigerians can be.
Most Nigerians love living and wallowing in squalor reason why the country is the poverty capital of Africa.

You see couples that can barely have 3 square meals a day giving birth to more children in poverty.

Marrying unprepared is dangerous. But this poster is not enlightened. How did this poster verify that the family he saw is poor? The family may be rich or poor. The point is that the poster, who has not verified the financial status of the family, is judging a book by its cover.

Many garbage sellers are very rich. Some of them own parcels of land and houses. The man walking barefooted might be due to the lifestyle he has developed for himself over the years in the business. Using what you see them doing at the moment to judge their financial status is like using farming to judge the financial status of a man you meet in a farmland. It is like thinking that every Aboki that is following cows up-and-down in bushes is poor.

I admit that garbage business is a dirty one. But it is wrong to assume that every garbage seller is poor. Criticise the appearance of the business. But don't judge the financial situation of those in the business unless you know their account balances.

They are doing honorable job.....many of your friends abroad are also doing scavenger work....so respect yourself and face your own hassle

rule 10

10. Don't violate the privacy of any people e.g. by posting their private pics, info, or chats without permission.

Other blogs can copy it , facebook users can also do. He took them pictures without their consent.

You shouldn't have shown their faces nah.
If you were actually an investigative journalist, shouldn't you have learned how not to do that in your Introduction to Journalism?

So, investigative journalism is now a gossip mill, right? When we expose/report a matter that doesn't suit your interest it becomes an offence, but when it suits your interests you heap praises on us!
There is nothing investigative about your post. Marriage is not a way out of poverty and not a cause of poverty. There are many out of wedlock that are poor. Singles that are poor.

You can never be fully prepared for marriage but you can be committed to being Godly and to self development, selflessness, and diligence at what you do..

There will always be the abject poor, poor, average, rich and wealthy and all these has nothing to do with being married but the choices you make and the grace and mercy of God upon concerned individuals

There's so much money in garbage business. I was in obudu cross rivers recently. I met this Hausa guy from Katsina who's based in Obudu. Guy makes an average an average of nothing less than 800k monthly. So don't be too quick to assume everyone you meet is poor. Heck this guy even has a secretary a d a cleaner he employs and he's paying them 40k monthly. Like I said, don't be too quick to jump into conclusions based on what you see.
