Reality of Child Labour: Watch Video



In the face of biting harsh economic conditions in Nigeria, Nigerians in their characteristic adaptive nature have devised means to mitigate its effect and prevent it in the future by equipping underage kids with manual labour skills.



With high unemployment rates, it is important and necessary for Nigerian youths to have other skills other than just formal education so as to become self employed rather than searching for jobs that are not available and when available not sufficient to pay bills.



I recently ran into a kid who was being trained in the art of making cement mortar for wall plastering and buildings in general. See video after cut.

Looking at the picture above brought back fresh pangs of hunger and memories of all the hunger I have ever felt in my entire life. I could not help but wonder what is going on in so many homes living under the poverty line. A lot of children crying out in huger in so many homes and some mothers forcing their dry breasts into the mouths of their last children who are still toddlers just to placate them.

The total expenditure of a single governor in this photo is enough to offset at least a month salary or complete one of the numerous abandoned projects. I hate looking at the picture because it exposes the folly of the Nigerian project where forex which is needed to shore up our econ...
