@@Relevance4life I do not believe thats always the case. BBC AFRICA also covers very positive things. you cannot only show one side of societies. the mistake here is they did not set up a way for viewers to donate if they choose. i feel very bad for the old man, if there were cameras and a way to hold the driver accountable like in the US laws against hit & runs, he would have disability income, some basic healthcare for the initial injuries received, and he'd qualify for senior/disabled housing, foodstamps etc. There would be a lawsuit for the man who hit him and was operating the transportation service and he'd be jailed.

Berndy joseph difference is that in new York, a below average job can get you a decent living situation whereas in Lagos, below average income can’t get you decent bunking.

This story is not just about one man, it's a homeless problem and a lack of job opportunity and resource, so we cannot just help one person and leave others behind.

What is even more depressing is that Nigeria has 150 million poor people out of 190 Million and 80 Million people living below poverty line. Yet they keep breeding ruthlessly without thinking the long term consequences. Yes the government is to blame for not taking good care of its people however Nigerians who live abroad always brag about how good they are doing in education especially in the US. But those people that are doing good in schools abroad, most of them couldn’t give a shit going back to Nigeria and help their people by opening business for example. And if so,they would build a house in Nigeria for themselves and family. Isn’t it the same shit the government leaders are doing too? You should be blamed too. There is no reason to moan on the government when you yourself is buying a house that is not contributing to the economy. All you do is blame the government but all you do is sitting on your lazy ass and talk. This also applies to the whole of Africa but specifically Nigeria since they do it the most.

I think we should be able to donate to teaching these men how to help themselves. Could we donate to having the men learn a skill like building a house from the ground up and how to make their own concrete. And have them maybe build their own trade schools and teach them to stick together and manage money honestly and form their own government with resources distributed evenly. The best way to help an able body man is to teach him how to help himself so he always has and he will be able to fish not be homeless and have a good wife.
