The hustle is real bruh

Am seeing these for the first time. By the way its like only one person appears to be the hawker.........Are you thinking what am thinking? The case of Nigeria is guards, or permit me to say legion of hawkers hovering all over the place.

This hustle is so real

man must chop.
legal or illegal

Even if they hawk in heaven
You still won't compare the numbers here in Lagos to the numbers over there
Coupled with the attendant social miscreants that attack innocent people in their cars

This does not mean the guy wasn't breaking a law and if caught will get punished. Also there are areas where street trading and hawking is strictly forbidden in America.your pic shows a lone hustler and he isn't running in front of moving vehicles like ours here.

I am not just totally in support of this. Especially when there is no alternatives for the seller. Not nice.

Not enough reason to permit that on our major roads.

Is this not lagos?

If New York allows hawking on high ways, then those banned in Lagos can move freely to New York
BTW, there is difference between STREET TRADING AND HIGHWAY HAWKING

Nope.. That's the Niger bridge

Ambode knows. He is just living true to type: creating a diversion from his lacklustre performance.

Ambode? Lacklustre performance? If we talk now, e go be like say person na tribalist because I can tell you're from that part
of the country

Dem suppose dey ban some of una for the kind nonsense wey una dey always type ontop this forum

Just logout and go eat Akpu.

Is better than doing drugs...

There are hawkers everywhere abroad, they are called sales men. Many of them don't carry goods on the head and run after traffic. Much as it is a laudable idea if there is arrangement to keep them off the streets and engaged in something useful, it will be much better because if all these guys enter street to do evil, that one be say the gobe don dey go Mowe.

But the truth remains that if these hawkers are put off the street, Lagos will lose a part of its 'flavour' and identity and also, pple fit dey die from thirst and hunger when stuck in traffic.

Drug biznes

Only for naija people thing say US na heaven.. but if u see the level of there homeless people hmmm

So? That doesn't make it legal. The popos will arrest him if they sight him. If such is encouraged even in America those folks would soon start robbing people in traffic.

Is he a hawker? Looks more like an innocent pedestrian holding 2cans of water.

Not an excuse for hawking

So because they do it in America?


It's illegal


If that guy is caught, na jail straight

America is just a hyped country... when u go u go see..

Definitely a Nigerian, trust IBO bois na. MMBM

I don't really know the problem of these ipod youths on nairaland. Ambode is working and it is clear even to the blind. How will a sane person criticize street hawking for God sake, are we to politicize everything, are we going to wait till another calamity occur before reason well. If one of ur relatives is on the street, it is better u tie him down or it may be calamitous for him cos Ambode really mean business in lagos.

Ok
