Taiye Joseph, who hawks at Iyana-Iba, along the Lagos/Badagry Expressways lamented that since he lost his father, he had no where to go as nobody was willing to help him in his educational pursuit. Taiye who hailed from Agenebode in Edo resorted to selling sachet and table water on the streets to passengers in moving vehicles.
A sausage seller, Chima Ezinwa, in his narration, lamented that the non-availability of money truncated his quest for education. "I came from a poor family and was stubborn while living with my parents," adding, "my father cautioned me to avoid street fighting so that he could sponsor my education, but I did not listen to his advice as I immediately left Ebonyi State for Lagos.
Another teenager, Mustau Ayinde, 13, told Saturday Vanguard he was asked to withdraw from JSS2 due to his mother's illness which confined her to bed. As a result, he joined the street hawking business selling foot wears at Agbara along the busy highway, though he did not disclose his future ambition.
