Good job. Tell them. Dont be surprised if they attack you because many people dont like to hear the truth.

The only reason 90% of ladies want to marry is to wear the wedding gown and take pictures, they see the wedding day as the marriage and not life after the wedding they.

They get many gullible men into poverty and problems. FYI the picture you just showed may not convey the whole story, perhaps 10-15 years ago that family may have had a better standard of living.

You could employ the wife / woman as nanny, at least you would have helped thier situation or employ the man as your gateman.

Life is seriously hard in this country for anyone who genuinely trying to make ends meet... Who won't because of this economy commit evil.

Marriage is a beautiful thing.... But getting to it prepared is my advice.

You must be financially okay if your partner has nothing and a type who can't endure.

You could cope with low financial status if your wife or partner has a work, business or rich.


Finally, since everyone and everything is all about money now

Men should also consider marrying a woman who is financially stable

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.

You and those who gave you over 100 likes are mumunis, walahi. Picking trash from morning till evening to sell as a job is a typical example of extreme poverty, not just ordinary poverty. Can you even stand next to a Nigerian trash collector or board the same taxi with him? You even mentioned them having land or houses

Free2Fly:
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?

There's nothing wrong about showing their faces here because where they were is a public place, I didn't invade their privacy

ednut1:
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.

I didn't invade their privacy because where they were is a public place, so, I have the right to publish any event or incident that takes place in the public place for public consumption
Check the case of PDidy's assault case in the hotel, didn't the media broadcast it? Why didn't he sue the media? Because the incident happened in a public place
Another one, the case of Jayz and his sister in law in a hotel
Donald Trump...
Peter Obi's secret telephone conversation with Oyedepo
Etc

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

You guys are still misquoting me I don't know why

Maeve7:
My name is Maeve and I approve of this message.

Good thread.

Please remove the pictures that show their faces. You don’t have their permission to post them. Respect their privacy please.

Sorry, I didn't invade their privacy

survival1:
You called yourself a trained journalist but you don't know about respecting privacy. You can't post people's pictures without their consent. They have every right to sue you for misinformation and disinformation.

I didn't invade their privacy, they can go ahead and sue me if they can. The place where they were is a public place for that reason I reserve the right to publish any report compiled in a public place (there no be their house/ bedroom oo, na public place)

you are comparing apples and oranges . Obi almost sued, if he had he would have indirectly admitted the tape was real. P diddy and jay z were of criminal nature and no court would entertain that. Jay z was a leak and no one could pinpoint where it came from

souzadchef:
Even if you're blind , can't you read? Even if you're Iliterate? Why are you not on a garbage site making 800k monthly if it's such a lucrative job.?You can see poverty etched out and you're whipping out an imaginary outlier story to defend your bias.

I don't mean to sound rude but you're unexposed. Chances are that you're probably amongst the millions of Nigerians who work 9-5 for some meagre 150k a month. Read between the lines. Garbage or scrap collection business is big business. You cannot afford to start it because you are too poor. Most of the people you find doing this business started as scavengers, and gradually, they have a place of their own where people bring in scrap metals for them to buy. They gather them until it weighs a couple of tons and take them to buyers who in pay millions of nairas for it. For example, a kg of copper costs about ₦13,000 or so. These scavengers would buy it off of you for half the price while you struggle with your meagre monthly salary. Normally, I don't even expect you to think of it like this because you are incapacitated. You are too broke to be able to afford to go into the business so I I'll excuse your ignorance.

lomprico:
🥲 This has nothing to do with marring unprepared. Life can happen to anybody.
🥲 Moreover what they are doing is a very lucrative business. It seams dirty but there is a lot of money it. I belive the man knows that's why he involved his whole family (according to you).

It does actually! Being prepared means having in place a lot of what would keep you from hitting rock bottom no matter what happens to you. It also means choosing a partner wisely. Good planning would have you choosing an equally intelligent partner who would not end up a liability in case of no sickness.

2. It could be lucrative if done properly and planned right. What those people are doing there is guaranteeing they will end up sick and even more miserable before long.

She was sued because she's not a practicing/registered JOURNALIST oo, can I as a JOURNALIST present myself in a court as a lawyer? The answer is NO!

Peter Obi knew that even if he sues people gazette, he can't win the case
The case of Jayz wasn't criminal, and later the identity of the "culprit" was made known
Did you remember the case of Kim and Mario sex tape? Did you know why they won the case? That's what we called invasion of privacy

Let's stop reading between the lines and start telling ourselves the truth. The vast majority of those who started as scavengers remain scavengers. Only a handful of them rise beyond that for all of their lives. Many more of them end up sick from the toxins they are exposed to and may even die as a result. So, please don't put down people who go into 9-5s for these half-truths here.

Yes, scavenging can be a good business for the person with the right know-how and attitude but like many other works of its kind there are many many risks to it and it is worth considering those risks before venturing into it as a way of living. Children, for one, should not be allowed to work these jobs. Matter of fact, anyone who does not have the right gear for the work should not embark on it at all.

I see people playing devils advocate and providing extreme case scenarios. Child labour to handle such dangerous metals scrap is even wrong. They should be home doing house chores and not helping you make livelihood you failed to provide for them individually or as their parent.

There is dignity in labour, but not in child labour carrying sharp metal scrapnel. The parents should manage that part.

If you checked my initial post. You'll see I pointed "some", not "all" started as scavengers. You can decide to start the business today even with your capital and still be unsuccessful. In the same vain, you can decide to start with almost nothing and you'll grow gradually. It's just life. We are not all going to succeed. There's always going to be a balance.

Not with scavenging, particularly in a place like Nigeria where the greatest bulk of trash remains unrecyclable given that the recycling industry is largely underdeveloped. The balance you speak of has to be an intentionally created one otherwise the chances will remain high that those who engage will remain largely unsuccessful.

I watched a video on YouTube not too long ago highlighting this very problem. Scavenging works as a source of income for some when industries are available to provide opportunities for scavengers to make a living from what they can obtain. Without that, it is only people moving the trash from one location to another in hopes that someday or somehow that trash turns to gold.

Bros, you need people's consent to snap/record them before posting for public consumption, whether they're in private or public spaces.

When I see a woman beggar on the road and her three, four or more beggar toddlers and children who have joined the ''family business'' of begging at their tender ages, I ask myself, ''what type of ignorance is this and who is impregnating these women?"

Sorry to disappoint you, I'm a p2p trader on multiple exchanges so you can do the income maths better. Self made Idiots like you always know someone doing it and making moneyyyyy. Dont worry your children would grow up to become scavengers making millions. Say Amen?

Recently my friend got married and opted for dressing gown for wedding from Tala Daniel Bridal Couture. You can also try from here.

Stop telling this lie for Pete's sake! Stop hiding these delusions behind the mentions of your gods who has absolutely nothing to do with it.

The state of a poor man remains more easily managed if he is unmarried than if he isn't. This is the reality in every country where poverty is seen as the problem that it is in society.
