It was a bazaar of sort for the indegent population of Agege, a Lagos suburb south West Nigeria when officials of Annmom Foundation for Mothers' Welfare, AFMW stormed the neighbourhood with gift items for the 'very poor' over the weekend ushering in the New Year in a grand style. 

The foundation through its Director of Media Publicity & Strategy, Mr Sunday Onyewonsa, told our correspondent that the gesture became necessary because of the need to be one's "brother's keeper" noting that the Yuletide season was a period when men of goodwill show love to fellow men and sharing with the people around especially the 'have nots' in the society adding that one of the cardinal objectives of the group was to care for poor mothers and children across the globe. 

Onyewonsa stressed that the NGO chose Agege area because of the large number of the poor population living together adding that earlier before the Christmas, the Foundation was at Idi-Araba area of Mushin to share food items, clothing, shoes and branded umbrella to the residents of that community adding the gesture was a work in progress stating that the group will ensure it sustains the program promising to cover the six geo-political zones before the year runs out.
