elderken:Shut up there, people has been sleeping under the bridge since 1970s rather than facing the issues and feel for the victims... You'll politicize it as if it's peculiar to one regime in Nigeria. May Allah alleviate their hardship to comfort in prosperity. Amen.. Common sense is not common anyway. |

Ode, tell you God to help you with sense. Since the so-called God gave you so much senses. But not enough sense to know that the written article wasn't just about one person. May God never forget to wipeout your useless self. Omoboricash: |

Exactly my thought. you took these words out of my mouth. you cant be in Lagos or Nigeria and claim ignorance of this. it's even better now since Fashola and Ambode's effort to beautify many flyovers in Lagos. A few kilometres walk around Lagos would tell you its a common experience everywhere. A lot of Nigerians, and many from the neighbouring country influx Lagos every day for greener pasture without any plan on where to stay, they end up sleeping at major bus-stops, under bridges, and in front of shops. One of the twits even reads "very emotional, I can't watch the video". my question is how many average or wealthy Nigerian will actually stop to help the homeless on a normal day? too many facade humans. many of them maltreat their domestic help but would be quick to come online to portray non-existing empathy. To those asking for how to get in touch and assist the guys, I would say you don't need their contact. just go out there. there are millions of them hoping for your smile and a word of encouragement. Together we can make the world a better place. CAPSLOCKED: |

Se hypocrites everywhere on this thread and even BBC. While I empathise with the less fortunate, it is no news that people sleep under the bridge in lagos and we all know it, we have all seen it so lets not pretend it all started under Buhari's government. Tell me you've not seen kids begging on the street or people sleeping on the roads or dumpsters at night. So please spare us all this Buhari and APC nonsense. While we accept that the government should do me, this things did not jut happen over night. As for the people shouting on twitter, I guess most of them don't live in the reality of lagos if not they would have seen these people there before. And as for BBC, they should do a documentary on the homeless that sleep on the streets on london or loads of homeless people that sleep on the streets of Birmingham every night. |

Only the Igbo commentors offered to help, others had no real help. In Nigeria, Igbos are the only tribe that fight for the oppressed and speak out for the rejected, if u observe even in Nigerian politics, you will discover this truth. Proudly Igbo, please let us keep shinning and let our light brighten the dark areas of other peoples lives ![]() |

I am not excusing Nigerian governments for our pathetic homeless (and poverty) statistics, but BBC should have first expose the appalling homeless statistics in the UK. Like they say, why complain of a speck in someone else's eyes, when you have a log in your own One in 200 people now homeless in Britain as crisis deepens - By Matthew Robinson, CNN |

Bro perhaps you didn't comprehend my statement. What I meant was that while homelessness is part and parcel of a big city ( even USA, UK and France have homeless people). It would make a lot of difference if the Nigerian Government can create homeless shelters. That's the difference between us and other advanced countries ( when it comes to tackling homelessness). Now no matter how much you hate the present Government, calling us a shit hole country is you agreeing that you are part of the problem. Unless of course you are not a Nigerian which I will have to tell you 'don't you anger me!' . I love my country and just like the phoenix we shall rise again.Ugosample: |
