rate at 7.1 per cent according to the National Bureau of
Statistics, some youths in Abuja have decided to earn a living
through beautifully choreographed performances on major
roads in the Federal Capital Territory.

from the traffic light.

Dressed in red, black and yellow customized satin clothes, the
trio comprising of young men in their early twenties carry out
these activities on roads with heavy vehicular and human
traffic within the city.

Leader of the theme, Musa Ali told Naij.com that the five-year-
old group started after they completed their secondary school
education in the northern part of Nigeria.

Ali said: “We started like joke after our secondary school
education in the north. Instead of just sitting at home doing
nothing or join bad gangs or become armed robbers, we
started to do this thing. Since five years now, we have been
getting some money for our upkeep,” he added.

When asked their source of motivation over the years, another
member of the group who simply gave his name as Titus
averred that: “Well, our major motivation has been the smiles
on the faces of Nigerians. The fact that they appreciate our job
is the most important reason why we are still doing this. Some
of them usually give us money to appreciate our effort. We
make at least seven thousand Naira a day. That is what we use
to take care of ourselves.”

The group however advised federal government to urgently
address the unemployment situation in Nigeria as it has “led
so many youths to embrace vices capable of destroying their
future, Titus added.
