I will carry gun if I don’t see any change after two months.
In
an explosive response to the question about the present state of the
nation, the man whose identity could not be confirmed as at the time
this vox pop was carried out, noted that the Nigerian government has to
do something about the suffering of the people before it gets out of
hand.
“How can you work and not get paid? No work, no money, I am telling you what is happening,” he began in local pidgin English.
The man put
his head on the railing to show that he did not tell lies about him
trekking from Mowe to Victoria Island.
Asked what he thinks the federal government should do to eradicate the challenges, the man said: “they should help us. See, if they don’t do anything for us, we go dey rob o… unless if they do something.”
The
man looked unperturbed by the chances that he may be caught if he gets
involved in armed robbery, and even when our correspondent tried to
remind him of the danger, he remained adamant.
According to him: “Let them sentence me to life jail and let me go. I already have four children and a wife at home.”

From
the man’s gesticulations, it was becoming more evident that he had been
through a lot of hardship before being interviewed, as he openly told
of how he trekked a long distances due to his cashless state.
With his heads on the railings on the road, he swore that “I trekked from Mowe to VI, if I lie, see…
“If
in the next two months, there is no change, I will carry gun, I’ve told
you. Tell government, if they don’t repent with the way things are
presently going, they will see militants in Lagos state.”
