In a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Tunji Bello, the governor asked street traders to go sell their wares in the markets, that if they continue to sell on the streets, they will be arrested and prosecuted.

Street Hawking is something normal on the street of Lagos but today (July 8th, 2015) Lagos State Governor, Akinwumi Ambode has stopped/banned street hawking in the state (citing security reasons).

To think thousands of Lagosians(who cant afford a shop) survive by hawking on the streets and roads is enough reason for this not to happen. but i will also like to share my own personal experience I had with the Gala seller. Please continue reading....

Our Car broke down on the popular 3rd Mainland bridge, Feeling tired, I saw this 2 Gala sellers and i asked my friend to call him...
Friend: Guy Carry your Gala come...
Me: Abeg give us 2 Gala... *Fast Forward*

Gala seller opened his carton and brought out a GUN..... To cut the story short, we were robbed of almost everything from Phones, Laptops, Wallets, Shoes, and our suits. Thank God they didn't take the Car.

So, My question is Should Street Hawking be Stopped or are you someone like me that thinks it cant be stopped

To make this interesting, I added a few photos.

CHESTER48:
All you saying yes are stupid.very stupid..those people are they not human beings like you..if you stop them from hawking then what will they eat.should they steal? should they kill..what wickedness..the governor should be impeached..the only thing he can ban is hawking of children..for adults it normal..but children should never hawk for the family to eat..after it the parents responsibilities to take care of emmm

easy...i get your point
