When they were supposed to marry one wife or within their reach, they will be impregnating women up and down without means to take care of them, and their mothers nko, awon iya ita, dump the children with their grandma and start doing agbeere up and down.

Profadvocate:
Yoruba jobless boys
They dont have house as u see them
Cant even who their mother was not to talk about father
They grew up on the street of the island
These guys are so many in lagos
Especially in Oshodi,Lagos Islan d and Mushie and even AJ
Young girls get pregnant and no father
N
Look after the child to about age 7
Leave the child there on the street and disappear to continue olosho business
The children get heartless along the way
bad boys and street cult and becomes a problem to society

There’s a difference between youths, miscreants and hoodlums....
Some of these dudes (eg, the two on the far left hand side) are about as youthful as Buhari.

If you no get odeshi..no near where gun dey

Many elder man are also there!!!God help us!!!

Arrest and throw them in jail! Swallow the key if possible so politicians won't use them in 2023

Lagos and street/cult clashes are like bread and akara

Rouges that rob at will......

Very useless set of people...well God create things for his pleasure.. I don't see any pleasure in these ones here

see leaders of tomorrow...

Clashes everywhere, End time, My people go and change

The police just arrested random persons and labelled them urchins, I so much hate the Nigerian police force

People sometimes focus so much on almajiri in the north, but anytime i look at these street urchins especially at that Oshodi-Cappa axis, i begin to wonder the difference between the two, except that these urchins are deadlier.

Lagos Island and fight

Life.........

Miscreants, misguided elements. We're not ready in this country, reason we continue to get leaders that looks like us.
