These ones are doing business and yet, government still say no that they must go to school, then let think of Almajiri.
What sort of 'stupid' business are they doing?

What is the object of your comment? Should these young children be left to do 'business' as you claim?

I must say that I am most disappointed at your comment. To think that it came from a lady makes it even nauseating.

Isn't that a clear case of child abuse?

The children were all from neighboring states but live with their parents here in Anambra,

Few of the children were rescued from adults who were using them to seek for alms at various locations in Awka.
Can somebody explain the first part for me?...please?

The children were being used to work.....child abuse/child labour/child exploitation.... but no action taken against the adults. What is to stop them from grabbing another set of children?
Was this exercise really about the kids?.... or an opportunity for the head to trend? She should be ashamed of herself.

The last picture is a complete aberration and should not have been taken, least of all released to the public. If the state government is supposedly trying to take these children off the streets, which is commendable, why were they then required to take pictures with the very items that represent the ills of their conditions and with the Commissioner standing right there? These are children whose identities should be protected yet the same government has released such an uncomplimentary picture, to what end? Someone obviously asked them to carry those bowls and stand with the commissioner, it is not a random picture and that is the worst form of insensitivity!

Governance/leadership in this country leaves a lot to be desired. The better picture should have been to show these children enrolled in schools and dressed in clean uniforms within a learning environment not this! Their families should also be evaluated and provided with sustainable livelihood skills and some capital or equipment to keep the kids off the streets.
I strongly concur!

The hatred Nigerians have for the poor is unfathomable. All Nigerians insults are about how someone is poor and all activities the poor undertake are crimes.

Why are these kids being held as if they're being arrested? Or do you think they're the ones that sent themselves to this task? Low IQ society.
Poor ppl have too many children

And the parents must be made to pay the fine of their lives. Next time and next life they will do a bit of algebra before deciding to procreate. The value and sanctity of life must be upheld. They think it is a joke or foolishness on the part of westeners when they decide to have just a couple, one or no children at all.
Re: Anambra Government Picks Children Hawking During School Hours (Photos) by rubi96(f): 12:43pm On Nov 14, 2019
Delta State have been doing this and punishing the parents for a long time. You can't see a child hawking until after school hours.

Education is free, they should be in the school between 8am and 2pm.
Their parents should do the selling during school hours.

You should be made a commissioner NOW, to help redress the imbalance in the system and the negavity and exclusionary practices of our current leaders.

Children not going to school. These are the robbers, cultists and sundry criminals of tomorrow. Western education is anathema to the igbos as it is to boko haram?

I don't think u r more intelligent then the commissioner who chooses to show her fave with them in the picture, look at this from a different angle. That picture is an evidence that this children where catch Hawking during school hours, and dat they r with the commissioner too, they where not kidnapped, this is a cases of children and is very complicated, in case any of the parent or guardians decide to make case of this possible support by an opposition party and term the woman a kidnapper and child trafficking. Another case can be, if some random pix of well dressed children r posted online and said to be children catch from the street and sent back to school by the commissioner me and u will not easier believe her, so she has every right to do dis, the children r not doing are crime and r not criminals, so nothing to be ashamed of in the future.

I am not quite certain you read and understood my post especially the bold parts. It is not only for juvenile offenses that the identities of children should be protected hence your reference to crime. Also, I clearly did not refer to crime in any way, rather I highlighted the insensitivity of such a picture. There were other pictures with them sitting on the floor, some with hidden faces and those bowls away from their heads. Those were sufficient to drive home the message that they were found hawking during school hours and the state intends to curb such activities.

Now, if they had actually rehabilitated those kids and their families and took pictures of them in clean uniforms, enrolled in appropriate places of learning as I had suggested, that would have sent a message of hope and joy that indeed the state had put positive actions to its stated intentions. It is absolutely unfair, insensitive and downright abusive to have made those children carry those heavy bowls of water to take pictures with the Commissioner. If you understood the concept of symbolism, you'd have known that it is more effective and appealing to divest them of all signs and props/representations of abuse which those underage children had been put through due most likely, to economic hardship!

It is far easier to believe that the state government means good business on this issue when the general populace can honestly say that children are no longer found hawking especially during school hours than through some ill-thought photo op. Real time evidence makes all the difference! If the government chooses not to follow through and actually enroll them in schools, they will be back on the streets and then what purpose would such a nasty picture have served? She is a commissioner and not some random person, an accusation of child kidnap will not even be remotely considered in the circumstance.
