Hello everyone,
yesterday, i had a client who called me for an urgent appointment in Bwari, along the Dutse-Bwari expresswa, Abuja. I saw some fruits placed on a table beside the expressway in front of the Customary Court complex, Dutse, Abuja and decided to stop and buy some since i was hungry. A young boy came up to me and sold some apple to me. I chatted with him and he told me he is 14year old and had completed his primary school in his state (i didnt ask about his state of origin), and how his parents handed him over to a guardian to come to Abuja to start secondary school but the guardian brought him to abuja to be a fruit seller on the expressway exposed to dangers of harsh weather condition, dangerous high vehicles and other unfavourable conditions rather than taking him to school.
His spoken English wasn't excellent, he seemed smart yet calm, he told me his name (which i have forgotten). I decided to ask him for permission to take a picture of him. I had to leave him so as to catch up my appointment.
Reason i brought this here is so that kind hearted people can go there verify his story and if need be help this young teenager and many more disadvantaged people off the streets instead of being in where they ought to be.

D humanitarian service can starts frm u too. Whre is d pic?

GAZZUZZ:
d pishur nor show o!

chief, the pishur don show.

I passed thru the same road again today, his name is Promise, he said he is from Ebonyi he said his guardian promised to send him to school by December.

The sadness in his eyes.

He should be at school, learning and playing with his friends.

The best you can do is to get his parent's contact in Ebonyi.


The parents should be called for questioning, and if possible, they should be jailed.

I felt really moved by the boy's situation. I feel he can be helped. I have a video of me questioning him, but I have a challenge, uploading it to Nairaland and trust Glo network as usual, I can't upload it to YouTube so that I can post the link here.

Hmm, I hope you can find a way to upload it. I would like to watch it.

Or maybe send it to me and I'll upload it for you here.

Wetin happen OP?


Do you want to adopt him?

Will you take care of him?

Why didnt you report it to the Police?

DO you know if life would be worse for him with his parents than it is for him with the guardian?

Ask well o!! Before you go use aproko go remove food for this small boy mouth..

So, in short You forgot everything about the young chap.....

this is one of the most common cases of child trafficking.. the lad might still be allowed to school but by then he would surely lost some years (trust abuja schls na, if they see say na village he come 4rm they go surely demote am)
the boy guardians no even get business acumen... they send am dey sell apple instead of tomato

Child Abuse in this 21st Century
What are our law makers doing sef?

His parents and guardian need to be flogged in a Sharia
court located in Zamfara.

Nawa oh am sure his parent will be thinking that he is in school, not knowing that he is now a full time trader

.

He looks as if he doesn't want to be snapped.

You want people to help him and you forgot his name in less than 24hrs. Let that boy hustle he could become a millionaire fruit seller or importer in future, you'll never know. His destiny could be anywhere. He can read and write and express himself in English,That's Education.



There are millions of unemployed graduates roaming the streets.

Nothing wrong with this op, even here in London kids do hustle

family must survive {F.M.S}

So what did you want to do now
Just upload his pic and do nothing
