Johndoe100:You sounds like a neighbor to them. Under which bridge can you be located? |
Re: Man Raises Family Under Lagos Bridge by r231(m): 11:38am On Nov 14, 2011 |
yamakuza: well if we can get somebody from NL to go and verify their location and needs, we can all come together and see how much we can raise for them on the other thread. maybe 2 MODs in Lagos or any old NL member that can be trusted and is ready to do the job too obviously for accommodation, we can do the research ourselves from property thread but first thing first we need to see how to get in touch with them to srt with |

Re: Man Raises Family Under Lagos Bridge by ifyalways(f): 1:49pm On Nov 14, 2011 |
I just left there.Hmmn na wao. Truly,the couple exist for real.They have a baby boy and the wife is visibly pregnant.Contrary to PM news report,Mr Obuh do go out to hustle and does not sit all day sleeping and eating. On arriving and locating them(took me almost an hour),I met Dupe and the baby boy.Started asking her questions and while at it,Mr Obuh walked in.He had with him pieces of scrap metals he got for reselling to scavengers. and Yep,I now without doubt do believe that they might be disturbed by snakes and other rodents.The place is just filthy,area boys shyte,smoke ganja just 5 meters away from their "home". One thing I noticed and can't help but share is this:the couple are so in love with each other and quite simple.The smile and warm reception they gave me,Dupe even offered me pure water from her bowl nearby.would start posting pics soon. |
Re: Man Raises Family Under Lagos Bridge by Freiburger(m): 1:51pm On Nov 14, 2011 |
^^ Good development. do try and post these pictures. |
Re: Man Raises Family Under Lagos Bridge by r231(m): 1:56pm On Nov 14, 2011 |
ifyalways: good development have you seen this thread https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-802184.0.html#msg9542518 well a lot of pple wants to help so if you don't mind we can nominate you and can srt by trying to move on to the next agenda |
Re: Man Raises Family Under Lagos Bridge by jaybee3(m): 2:10pm On Nov 14, 2011 |
Rent payment and any sort of empowerment will surely help this couple. |
Re: Man Raises Family Under Lagos Bridge by Freiburger(m): 2:11pm On Nov 14, 2011 |
^^ I'm fully in support of this one. |
Re: Man Raises Family Under Lagos Bridge by r231(m): 2:12pm On Nov 14, 2011 |
we need to know how much apt cost before anything and also what area they want to move to |
Re: Man Raises Family Under Lagos Bridge by jaybee3(m): 2:25pm On Nov 14, 2011 |
r231:All they need is a single room Area shouldn't be high on priority. Empowerment should be the order of the day cos without that you'd just render them useless as well as being another freeloader. Surely Mr Obuh must possess one skill or the other so helping him find an unskilled work shouldn't be a problem. The wife's business can be expanded with a lil dosh as well. More pure water = more profit kinda thing |

Good job Ify. Now we can involve Lawyer in the property section and i'm sure Ify would be nice enough to be a channel, from Us to them |
Re: Man Raises Family Under Lagos Bridge by yogun(f): 2:38pm On Nov 14, 2011 |
we are very quick to judge. let's forget about what is right and how it ought to be rightly done. the woman is pregnant and it is late for all the talk abt family planning and safe sex until after dis baby is delivered. we have a duty and we can choose to be our broda's keeper. we can ensure that this woman get adequate health care in her present condition. there's poverty every where in the world just that it exist in various degrees. we can come together to provide them with accommodation. The man cant go back to the village when he has never been there and has lived here all his life. they are living in danger and we can choose to turn a deaf ear or render a lil help. religious bodies shld also rise up to the occasion and help pple at the grassroot level. God bless us all. |
Re: Man Raises Family Under Lagos Bridge by yogun(f): 2:41pm On Nov 14, 2011 |

Re: Man Raises Family Under Lagos Bridge by r231(m): 2:44pm On Nov 14, 2011 |
yogun: so we say about 70 for 1yrs rent |
Re: Man Raises Family Under Lagos Bridge by ifyalways(f): 2:45pm On Nov 14, 2011 |

Odunnu:Nne mmadu a ga eme anya? I would be around till early december.Would glad to help. |
Re: Man Raises Family Under Lagos Bridge by yogun(f): 2:55pm On Nov 14, 2011 |
150k at most shld get them a 2yr accommmodation. the couple cld do with some counselling afterwards |
Re: Man Raises Family Under Lagos Bridge by r231(m): 2:59pm On Nov 14, 2011 |
yogun: maybe we can do 1 to one and half yr rent and give them the rest of the money cus its not going to be easy to raise that kind of money on NL except if we get 20 pple dat can donate 10k each |
Re: Man Raises Family Under Lagos Bridge by yogun(f): 3:01pm On Nov 14, 2011 |
well done Ify!!! dat's a good start that helps to confirm reports |
Re: Man Raises Family Under Lagos Bridge by yogun(f): 3:03pm On Nov 14, 2011 |
if truly d 1yr rent law has taken effect in Lagos as claimed then half of that amount shld get them a room to live |
Re: Man Raises Family Under Lagos Bridge by r231(m): 3:05pm On Nov 14, 2011 |
yogun: so we are looking at bout 100K to raise basically |
Re: Man Raises Family Under Lagos Bridge by jaybee3(m): 3:07pm On Nov 14, 2011 |
^^^ Probably best not to put a ceiling figure to what needs raising. What y'all need to agree on is what needs doing and how you go about executing 'em to the best of y'all's abilities. Money is the least of the problem here |
Re: Man Raises Family Under Lagos Bridge by r231(m): 3:09pm On Nov 14, 2011 |
^^^^oh ok |
Re: Man Raises Family Under Lagos Bridge by Freiburger(m): 3:22pm On Nov 14, 2011 |
What need to do now is to find a member who will voluntarily help in estalishing a contact with the family in question. |
Re: Man Raises Family Under Lagos Bridge by Nobody: 3:23pm On Nov 14, 2011 |
