Would you have given her all this attention if she wasn't pretty? Or better yet, if she was batshit ugly?

So the only thing that makes this your story worth reading is that it isn't everyday that one gets to see a poor pretty girl selling stuff, right?

Are ugly girls now doomed to accept whatever fate throws at them? I'm sure she would've better suited her wretched status if she was unattractive since unattractive people have been doomed to be spat on.

So she should be offered assistance simply because she's pretty? How petty!


Why the fvcking double standard??

You v a problem.
No lady is created ugly.
Girls that are not as attractive as Vivian v been featured severally. The writer of this thread only felt pity for the girl & decided to make her popular.
Use your brain well to decipher people's intentions before criticizing.

[quote author=SINZ post=55658
Oga sir, did she have NOUN written in caps on her forehead? Simply put, you gave her attention because you feel she is too pretty to be selling fruits. If she was ugly, we both know you wouldn't have approached her but that's not the case.

There are many people out there who hawk and carry out menial jobs just so they can feed atleast once a day. Their stories are surely even more heart-wrenching than this lass's story. What else qualifies her to be offered help aside her looks? Why should people offer her assistance on the basis that she is pretty and neglect those truly in need?

Dude, you need to re-evaluate yourself first and ask yourself what motivated you into writing this epistle in the first place. Is it lust? Are you having dreams of being her savior so you'll get a chance to score?? If sheer greed played a motivational role then I'm sorry, but you're no better than the people that this poor "pretty" girl is trying to avoid in the first place which made her choose this means of survival. Face your front when next you see a pretty girl.[/quote]

I took the picture cos I have seen in the past where people said a story was fake because there was no picture of the person reporting the story and the person the story is about. Funny right? Anyway, I have removed that pic from my blog and I will try and get it removed it from Nairaland too.

About raising money, she might not even need money. I just felt giving her publicity might make a guide/mentor see her and come in.

You v a weak mind.
People that takes up helping the less priviledge as wotk get bashed more than you. Ask Ezekwesili.
Don't be bothered by Nairalanders negative comments.
Know that some members here are just kill joy candidates. They ll write derogatory stuffs as if its a normal thing.
You v decided to help the girl. Fine! Go ahead with you plain mind publicity without extorting the girl.
Even if you sponsor her with your personal money, they ll say

@ op, please don't be discouraged by comments here....
The truth is that the psyche of an average Nigerian has been irreparably damaged by our politicians to the extent they see ulterior motives in every act of charity embarked upon by selfless individuals.....
They have become chronic pessimist and hopeless cynics......

I remember when I was helping a young lady through uniben by paying her school fees and giving her monthly stipends.......
Nobody believed i didn't have anything intimate with this girl.........
Even when i invited her to my church to participate in some empowerment programs to help her start a business in her hostel, the wrong notion persisted.....
People just couldn't get to understand why i should be of assistance to a girl I'm not sleeping with.......
Only my boss believed me, and that was because he was equally into such act of charity in his catholic church.....
This was a girl selling recharge card on my street, only to walk up to me one day that she got admitted into uniben but has financial challenges.....
Her parents were not going to support her, rather they want her to travel to Italy......
People's reaction to my story and yours explain why this country is in a present mess it is right now....

I reside in UK now and what i noticed about their citizens is the strong passion they have for charities, both home and abroad.....
And yet we wonder why their country prosper....

What u did is noble and i want u to continue, u gave this girl good publicity and u never can say where her helper will come from....
And for those shouting about poor kids hawking on the streets.....
There's nothing stopping u from picking one on your street and changing her life......
Enough of being internet critics, u guys should do something real for once.....

And by hustling spirit, u mean her hustle for guys and using bananas and groundnut as cover up?? Do u think that's y she gave u her numba?? Btw, hope say u don call her?? cos na falling hand!


I know say my oversabi don dey too much

Ashawo!!!

Op you think that is a sympathetic story!! Wait till you hear mine...

She's even sitting in one place to sell

From the konji look in your eyes you will soon replace this banana with plantain.

Or cassava

ismokeweed:
Not just ugly girls. Old women selling under sun with wrinkled brows that tell a story of a life of struggle. They don't deserve help. Let's help the pretty ones to reward them for not doing prostitution. As if we know whether they do or not. If you want to sell someone, sell. Not forming pure humanitarian using this hawking method. Kids that should be in schools are hawking. Op doesn't see them. How would he when there's no breast and ass. How many little kids or old women hawking has he stopped and sat with to tell their stories? How many has he brought here? But this one is too pretty to hawk abi? Trash.

God bless you bro. A million likes for this comment.

spectator2001:
The explanation of the OP is valid too, no doubt about that. I believe the alternate theory of this young man seeks to question the motive and/or rationale of the OP for picking out this individual simply because she "looked" like a student of NOUN. Such action, if I must add, is questionable in the face of the thousands of individuals with worse circumstances hawking, begging and helplessly-looking-unkempt people in that city.

UI not NOUN. She is a NOUN student selling at UI, and he thought she was a UI student hustling to make ends meet, which would have been remarkable because most pretty girls in UI would think of this as being beneath them.

Now, you must remember that the OP is a blogger not a philanthropist, and he is out to find interesting and unusual stories that can attract attention to his blog. As you have rightly noted, the story of the hustler is not at all new in Nigeria, however the story of a pretty girl who attends University but is humble enough to sell fruits to make her way is rather unique, wouldn't you agree?

Try to understand it from that light.

I don't know how to hide my feelings nice hustle but this banana is not fresh at all

God will crown your efforts and that of the OP. Please also try to ignore the naysayers.

Why on earth would anyone Bash you for doing something positive? If I can get her Direct Contact, I might Chip in a Little something to help her trade. I love positive stories like this. Thanks for sharing

Send me her account number I want to make a contribution

"she is in her final year at the Nigerian Open University in Ibadan. Although she grew up in Ibadan and can speak Yoruba fluently, she is from Ogu Opa in Enugu state. Vivian is in her mid twenties, and would be rounding up her studies at N.O.U.N early next year. When I asked her what she wanted to do after school, she said she would like to open a big fruits store, and do business on a large scale in this area. The way she spoke about it with passion was so captivating."


The lady sure has a clear vision of where she wants to be.

She is humble enough to help her mother in the petty business. That sure shows she's hardworking to help her family put food on the table and herself through school.

She probably could have heard about Olajumoke's success story, thus, trying her luck . Nothing is impossible for God.

Her dreams will come to pass regardless of peoples' assistance.

@OP, you have done well. Please, don't get discouraged by the negative comments.

SIRTee15's comments ain't far from the truth about what's responsible for the naysayers' comments.
