A member of the Ratel movement has raised concerns after some touts in Lagos demanded money before allowing volunteers to carry out their cleaning activities.

The popular human rights activist known as VeryDarkMan started a monthly nationwide community clean-up initiative. Volunteers from the Ratel movement have been working across Nigeria to keep public spaces clean. The operation, which began a few days ago, has seen success in several cities.

However, in Lagos, members of the movement have faced challenges from street touts (also called "area boys" who demanded payment before permitting the volunteers to clean public areas. A tense confrontation almost escalated into a fight as both sides kept pushing each other. Towards the end of the video, one of the Ratel volunteers was heard telling a tout to step back, saying his gangs at the back had already been paid.

Watch the tough confrontation unfold in the video.

Na Bola Ahmed Tinubu empower them naaaa.
These touts have been a menace in Lagos since 1999

Tinubu's legacy, that's exactly what's he's replicating as president

Disgraced people
Disgraced city

The tout face funny me die

These street urchins are a blight to the growth of a modern mega city.

They only have a 4 yearly relevance after which they are potential criminals awaiting their crimes.

Democracy seems to have been the catalyst for their exponential growth in Nigeria.

Each time the keep boasting of building mega city, I will just laugh it off.


Building mega city surrounded by street urchins and criminals who are allowed to extort money from citizens and guest of the alleged mega city.

This must be a joke of a mega city.


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

See what hunger and hardship had caused

LAGOS IS INFESTED WITH INSTITUTIONALIZED TOUTS, THUGS AND AGBERO!!
LAGOS IS INFESTED WITH YORUBA AND IGBO TRIBAL BIGOTS AND XENOPHOBICS
LAGOS IS THE LEAST LIVEABLE CITY IN SOUTHERN NIGERIA

IBADAN IS FAIRLY OKAY!!!!

This is the legacy Tinubu left behind

Touts are a menace for society.

And government doesn't really care about these sets of people at all.

Tinubu is the coz of all this, he gave too much power these people and they misbehaving anyhow

You sound like a retired scammer.

We have to control our population and birth rate in Nigeria... the youthful population is up to 150 million youths... and how many of these youths in this 150 million are engaged or working ..many youths are idle... and an idle mind is the devil's workshop..population growth is growing more faster than the economy growth... Nigeria birth rate everyday.. daily is 20,000 and more everyday..20,000 babies given birth everyday..we have to control the population and our birth rate

If your car run out of fuel in some area and you went to get fuel with Jerry can, they will ask you to settle before you can pure the fuel that you bought with your own money, in your own car on a public road, if you divert to inner street during heavy traffic, they will ask you to pay before you can pass their street

Slaves that love their chains so much.

Tinubu induced slavery.

That's what they mean when they say he built Lagos

Illiteracy is a disease indeed. I'm sure those touts were the one shouting Jagaban lo le se (it's only Jagaban that can do it).

Lagos, land of touts! 😁

No wonder Lagos smells.

After some people here will be comparing Lagos to Capetown.

I think one of the laziest and laid-back demographic in Nigeria is the South West and some tribes in the south south in Delta south and Delta central
