A homeless boy has garnered reactions after revealing that his mum, whom he has yet to identify, worked as a sex worker and abandoned him after she became pregnant, giving birth to him during her time in that profession.

Homeless boy. He further stated that two days after his birth, his mother took him to a woman he later came to know as Iya Ibadan. He lived with this woman for about three years, but she has since passed away. He also mentioned that he has been living on the streets, not knowing anyone. At one point, he found himself in the police station when he was arrested along with some boys who were involved in the theft of mobile phones. His statement, which has been translated to English by NigezieXtreme, is as follows: “My mother worked as a sex worker, and it was during her time in that profession that she mistakenly became pregnant with me. All the men my mother tried to attribute the pregnancy to rejected it.” “When I was born, my mother took me to a caretaker, a woman named Iya Ibadan. She told the woman that she would return to pick me up later, but she never did.” “The caretaker took care of me until I was three years old. I currently do not know the identity of my father or mother, and I have been living on the streets.” “Since the age of three, I have been collecting plastic bottles and doing the job known as ‘KONGIES.” “Some days ago, I was with a group of boys who were involved in the theft of phones. The police came to arrest everyone living in the area, and I was among those taken into custody.” “An Alfa heard about my situation and came to bail me out from the police station. He has taken the necessary legal steps to adopt me and is seeking financial assistance to support me.” Concerned individuals who watched the clip and heard the touching story of the young boy quickly commented to express their opinions on the matter. See some reactions below: @charlesworks21: “He would never forget all this trauma for life. I hope you find a genuine soul and I hope you scale through life and excel young blood. Hopefully you will win.” @solucheblog: “Things dey happen for this life aswr. God will be with him and provide a helper.” @thepalm_t: “I am still wondering how he came to know about all the life story, if his said mother left him as an infant and the nanny who took care of him till he was 3yo also died. At age 3 he shouldn’t have had the ability to grasp life history. All the same, it’s really a pathetic one.” @christspower4: “This is the responsibility of the government but we have a rogue government that cares for themselves only. Millions like this boy are in the North. It’s difficult to find such cases in the South East, the most deprived region with little or no federal presence except checkpoints.” @Flexmony: “He wants to adopt u and he sent u to come ask for assistance. Why not him ? Sometimes not like help won’t come but d whole thing is looking like oluwole. How did u know your mama tried to pin the pregnancy to men but they rejected it? plus this line is not good for this purpose.” WATCH VIDEO: “My Mother was Ashawo.

Lady unemployed fiancé accusation

According to a Twitter user who shared the story, the lady is a working class lady based in Abuja. Her fiancée who is job-hunting had come to stay with her for a while pending his getting the job he came for in Abuja. When she returned from work on a Friday with 150,000 she had gotten from a deal; the next day, she couldn’t find the money and all search for it yielded no results. Since she was certain she had brought home the money, she began to accuse her man of being the one who had taken the money. The back and forth exchange became heated and she ridiculed him, calling him a pauper and other derogatory words. When she arrived work on Monday, to her shock, she found that she had left the money in her office cabinet. The tweep wrote: “How a friend ruined her relationship. You are a working-class girl, you invite your fiancée who is job hunting in Abuja to visit you in Lagos. He visits you on a Thursday. Friday while closing from work, you decided to take home the 150k u had from a deal in the office. On Saturday u started looking for the 150k in your bag, nowhere to be found. In your car, zilch. Where on earth could money fly to? Ofcourse it must be fiance, nobody visited. So you tell him bluntly to return the money and he vehemently denies. You guys exchange words during a heated argument and you call him names, a pauper who will forever remain poor and steal and told him to leave your house Sunday morning. He does, seething with anger. You called his sisters and told them, told your friends and his too. Full of anger, you arrive office Monday morning and discover you left the money in the file cabinet!”
