Seeing children under 10 running on busy roads to sell sachet water is heartbreaking. 💔
Let’s be honest—this is not hustle, this is danger.
No child should be risking their life between cars just to make money.
Where is the conscience of those sending them out?
A child belongs in school, not on the highway.
We need to stop normalizing this. Protect our children. Speak up. Do better.
Because every child deserves a safe and better future. 🙏

But our leaders has failed them, their parents who brought them into the world couldn't provide for them. There's poverty in the nation and they will have to sell too to survive.

Felix: A society is judged by how it protects its children, and every child deserves safety, education, and the chance to dream without risking their life.

AOJ: Section 30(2)(c) of the Child's Rights Acts, 2023, explicitly prohibits children from hawking of goods or services on main city streets, brothels or highways. Any person who contravenes the provisions commits an offence and is liable upon conviction to a fine or imprisonment for 5 years, or both.
LekeeNews: All fingers are not equal
Omotosho Kehinde Seun: This is not hustle culture. This is child endangerment. No 10 year-old should be dodging cars to survive. What they deserve are classrooms, playgrounds, and safety, not highways.
Miss Annabel Ossai: Most parents think that when they send the kids out for hawking that we bring help to the family,,, the child abuse is too much
