Growing up in Nigeria, life could either be sweet or sour depending on if you're born with a silver or plastic spoon in your mouth.
"Sometimes when i come back from school i will help my mummy," replies one child
BattaBox presenters Timothy and Adeola talks to children street hawkers in Nigeria who have to work or hawk on the streets for their next meal.
"I just want to help my Grandma," replies one girl
Although its not just children who hawk on the streets for a living, grown men also have to hawk to feed their families.
"I can sell three cartons of gala in a day," says one man who hawks
"I've been doing this for two years," another grown man replies
But how dangerous could it be, running after moving cars to sell, Timothy asks-
"Somebody selling gala was killed here," another guy replies
But the silver lining is that these kids have amazing future plans
"I want to be a doctor,"says one child

Watching this brought back memories of my childhood. I started hawking on the streets (highways and parks) of Lagos when i was about 9 to10-year-old boy. I sold nothing less than 10 different items including cold water, gala snack, egg, polyethylene bag, ice cream, newspaper etc. However, i am grateful to God for how he has brought me thus far; a PhD degree outside Nigeria and now into my postdoc in the US. I am only sharing this part of my life to buttress this video that its real and things like these shouldn't be encouraged nowadays. We have to encourage parents not to allow their children to go through the hard labor and rigor of life they went through in their own youthful days. Those children can be whatever they desire with their passion and dedication to education.
Wow! Your comment is beyond amazing...we thank God for your life!
god bless you sir
I shed tears ooo God help does children and grant them their wish!
+Freedom Styles AMEN..
Amen! Amen!
Freedom Styles Amen n Amen 🙏🏾❤️️😭😪
Freedom Styles 😱
Freedom Styles I understand your tears and your little prayer to God. But God is not the one to change this "crime" committed to this children ! Its the Nigerian government and all the rich Nigerians who are selfish and only care about more more and more Naira"s. They turn their heads away from this "crime". Cause what you don't see you don't have to solve ! And when you pretend that you don't know than you can't be hold responsable either. Millions of very rich Nigerians live like that and nothing will be changed in this corrupt and evil system. So pls lets keep God out of this sad story. When God exists the rich will be asked on their judging day "What have you done for your fellowman?" And it will be silent............
I bet these kids would be too tired to open their books and study after hawking. So sad. I hope thier wishes come true
Lawyers, Doctors, Accountants. I love it. They want to grow to be productive members of society. I hope they realize there dreams.
My only dream in life is to work hard enough to provide free schooling for children like this and even proceed to providing them with 3 meals a day and a place to live...that is the only thing that would make my parents happy and by the grace of God in heaven I would have changed at least 10 million lives before my parents eyes
All i heard in common from these kids is that they are selling for their mom, their mom, grandma. How shameful, Where are these men who abandoned their roles? Disgusting.
Love the cute kids n teens tho. They are beautiful.
Now how are they suppose to cope with school after hours of hawking? See hustling from tender age like this. nawa oooo. My prayers for them
Realness! Government should ban this at least for kids. Everyday, I still thank God for my life because if not for him my story won't be any different from them. And even with all of it, they still have hope of be coming a somebody....... Lawyer, Doctor, and Accountants.
May God grant them their wish. I won't mind sponsoring a child through school (By God's grace).
Amen! AMEN!
I really like how this my sister presents this program by taking part also on the activities.
The country has failed its people and worse yet it's youth. Why do we lack Compassion and altruism so much?.
Can't believe I started crying when the girl said she wanted to be a doctor. Wonder what buhari is doing on behalf of these young bright kids .
My heart breaks for these beautiful little ones having to do this to assist their families. I really pray for a change in Nigeria and I hope that one day, I can be a part of making that change happen. Thank you BattaBox, I always enjoy your videos and Adeola is so beautiful.
And someone calls us lazy
Very young kids helping their parents and grandparents
So touching
Is not right but what can they do..in a country where there no help.from the government..what a pity..I did the same just to help my mum too..and now when I look at my kids born aboard..and I see the rights children have here.I just shake my head..and say when Will my country be like this...
We lack of common sense, we are so afraid to fight for our rights, but we are religious bigot and that's what killing us day in day out.. I just shed tears while watching this :-(
Respect battabox for this production and the empathy that's shown to the street kids
May these kids be safe while working on the street...🙏🏽
We all have impact to play. We all run to America, England, Dubai etc. if those people doesn't fixed their countries nobody will go over their. We all pray that God should send someone to fix the country and nobody want to take responsibility and fix it. Their is nothing render people useless like a mentality to act like other will do it. One day I will be the president of Nigeria I don't let people talk me out of my dreams even they might not see the vision.
May Almighty God help all africa children
So sad. It upset me so much when i first saw this. Same as when i saw some very old people having to do it 😞

Aww d smiles, happy to b helping their parents n still holding on to their dreams Doctor, Lawyer, Accountant's May Almighty Father grant their dreams n wishes. Oh dear Father Lord pls continue to look after dis children send down ur rain of abundance of love n mercy n let dis thy loving children attain n realize their dreams, let den become somebody d whole world ll admire n wanted to b like, Father pls let's all rejoice in thy name 4ever IJN.

Thumbs up Battabox
+Easy Boi Thanks o..Keep watching and sharing our videos!
shame on all Naija politicians and past leaders shame
well done Adeola God bless u
I really like it, when I was kid like them I use to do the same.
Even in ancient days children also their roles to support their parents.
It will make them smart,calculation.
Some youths are outside there they expect their parents to got them job,after make their efforts to sponsor them.
God help Nigerians
Oh GOD
Please permission to use snippets of the amazing video in a feature Lyrics of Burna Boy's song.
This is very sad , where is the government to help all this kids , no any social assistant from government to provide for the parents of this kids , enable to help them for little assistant of their education , God is watching .ooo
sadly almost every country in Africa have kids on the streets selling all day, very sad.
Your gala fresh ,thank god is still fresh oooh
Please which area is this in Lagos
OMG
awww, this is sad to see but their dreams are valid!!
Lola Williams OMG
Jangan patah semangat Saudara-saudariku, terus berusaha dan belajar, jangan pernah ragu akan kerja keras
حتى في بلادهم كاين صدكة صدكة ويدورو على السياراة ويطلبو 😂😂😂
but I do like how they young with big dreams
this situation is not only in Nigeria
believe me and i know how some other countries also are facing
Do you think it's acceptable that there are such young children hawking on the streets, and not at school?
it's a terrible shame the uk Isn't perfect but I appreciate such things don't happen here. I wish nigerias government will just do right for my people
To he who knows how to fight, to him be the glory. Success is 90% hard work and 10% gifted intelligence..i'll chose a kid like this over any gold spoon fed kid.
......Honestly..my lovely batta box........it's not acceptable...but atleast its better...than to go and steal........or stay at home.....which can result to anything bad..........like unwanted pregnancy..after all.....I did.....too...honestly.....before moving to NewYork.......and honeslty...like Adeola....I am......a very hard working person.......and capable of surviving on my own..........na true....hustler....man must....wack....
Competition is fierce
And the senator representing these people is earning more than $100,000 a month.
Upcoming Naija with hustling spirit fighting there future dem no see us. No sponsor nah when dem steal food to eat TV stations go cover mtn and glo subscribers go broadcasts. We all dey pass same road na heavenly gate and everlasting punishment judge. Still God bless Naija na awa money ooo. 2baba
#respect for those children
abi o +george elvis we just hope they've done all their homework as well 👏👏👏
same here
May God almighty help this children, bad governance that is causing this,poorvaty makes them parents to push the children to the streets to sell,but is very bad,while government children go to school in U.S.A and U.K.
See in Naija there is no safety net, welfare system. Imagine what would happen if there was no welfare system in Europe and the States.
We blame the mother for this one!
the girl at 1:10 ain't 15 years old.
Emma Eze you would know. Cause you gave birth to her
