WHAT IS MY BUSINESS???

You may wonder what your business is with a child on the street or the beggars on the road. After all God has blessed you with all the fancy things of life, I mean you can’t complain generally.

So you wonder, what is my business with the begging child on the street from a wretched home where the parents can’t cater for them, “how that one take *consign* you? *rolling eyes*

Well permit me to educate you!!!

Your children are growing up or would grow up in the same community as these street kids. We are all going to plough the same roads, visit the same markets and malls etc.

And where our children go on to become Lawyers, Doctors, Actresses, Musicians and all the fancy professional roles in the society, the street kids on the other hand go on to become Armed robbers, Kidnappers, ritualists etc. Now think about it, an equal combination of the two in our community. Not sure it would be a happy and peaceful one.

The crime rates in our country are alarming, the hooliganism like the ALUU 4, the Ejigbo crisis to mention but a few.

We have to eradicate such future occurrences because if we don’t, you might be the next victim.

Guys!!! It has gone beyond extending a nice hand, or satisfying your conscience that you give to the poor, it is evident that it has become our duty to clean up our streets. Send every child to a classroom to keep them from armed robbery, kidnapping, ritualism etc.

It is quite obvious to even the blind man that our government has failed us. We cannot fail ourselves, let us stand up for our children and more generations to come.

Take it up as a mandate on yourself to make it your business when you see small children in the hold-up cleaning windscreens. Ask for their names, parents, and why they are not in school. Ask for the community they come from, inform us and let us offer them a chance for a better life. At least they deserve that much cause they are no different from you and me. We are just fortunate and blessed to be better off than they are.

So it is your business what goes on around you and me!!!!
