We reported the condition of Monday Obu, his 2 year child and pregnant wife, Dupe, who have been living dangerously in poverty under Cele Bridge. They've rejected several help including accommodation and only demand cash offers.
A UK based Nigerian offered Obuh and his family a room at 13, Church Street, Off Gbajobi Bus Stop, Itele Road, Ota, Ogun State and he rejected it. The helper said that “I arranged to pay for a room to settle his family because of the child and the pregnant wife. I had wanted to buy a mattress, stove and other materials to ensure that the family can live a normal life again. He said that he wants to start a building material business, I intend to empower him by giving him money to start the business". - (Pm News)
A Lady banker yielding to Mr Obu's request for money to start business, she bought buckets, stove and related house fittings. “Yesterday, I used my ATM to withdraw money. I gave him N9,000 for mattress and another N4,000 for out of pocket expenses and he is insisting of been given N100,000 before leaving the under bridge home.
The pain from this disappointment from Mr Obu was why we were unable to send out any update today. Who is sure these efforts to give Hope back to Nigerian is worth continuing.
God Help Nigeria.

I tell you, he is a greedy man. See him and his wife's face. Its this type of mindset that is causing Nigeria to stay the way it is. Poverty stricken people who want manna to fall from the sky like biblical days. He doesn't know that he has to secure a roof over his head first before trying to start a small business for himself. He is a mentally sick and confused man and unfortunately peeps like him full Naija. It is his children I feel sorry for.
this man is very very silly- he needs to get a job and a roof for his family, not money to start a buildings material business that will collapse in no time at all!!! Mr Obuh needs to get his priorities right and the sooner the better too
Only in Nigeria. Beggar has a choice? If doesn't want the help, please give that help to someone who needs it and will be grateful for it.
If you allow this man, he'd demand for contract, terms and conditions and annual maintenance allowance, transfer fees, missing my home under the bridge allowance, reallocation allowance, missing my free air under the bridge allowance, missing the traffic noise under the bridge allowance, sacrifice to god of fly-over allowance, traffic light settlement allowance, etc. Haba.
THIS MAN IS CLEARLY UNGRATEFUL & FULL OF SHIT!!! please people need to stop giving him money. let him work for it. nonsense. check him making demands. his mates are struggling and working hard.. he is threatening not to leave the bridge till he is given a 100grand. he better just rot there then. Oliver twist oshi.
wow...this man is not smart at all ooo. if they gave you room aren't you supposed to at least take it then rent it out to someone else instead of being a concrete faced greedy nigga. That would at least bring something in for him. shioorrr
lol this is what i keep saying about nigerians, all of u would just sit down behind ur laptops and judge well to do people whose family members are poor! i swear this guy behaves the same way my dad's half brother behaves! my dad struggled with his mum on their cocoa farm when he was younger went to uni got a good job and all and his half bro sat down there lazying about, now he has two wives with over 10 kids my dad has 4 kids and he always complain to people that my dad doesnt want to hel him, my dad tried sending him abroad the guy didnt want to go abroad to fend for himself, he would lease out my dad's 30 sth acres of farmland to people in the village, without my dad's consent and he won't give my dad the money and im talking of millions of naira here! pscheww bloody ingrates!
Look at his ugly face! He's obviously mentally disturbed. How can an able bodied man refuse to work and provide shelter for his family? There are even hawkers half his age trying to make a living. I can't believe people wanted to help him when there are orphans and abused kids living on the streets.
LMAO@ Many and the person who said that his wife doesn't need to follow him. The man is greedily trying to milk people's sympathy dry! 100,000 ko, 100 million ni. Let him stay there,... unfortunately his wife and kids would suffer with him.
have u LIB commentators ever stop to think of the man's fear. Maybe he got under the bridge after been evicted from his former apartment. Maybe he demanded for cash to secure an accommodation and probably start a business with. What's the point of giving him a free abode and turn him out the next day. No job, no crib?!The need for security could have been his reason for begging for cash! Just saying!
This is a non-issue jooorrrr. Since he's demanding money for business, it means der's sth they're not tellin us: they probably av a 'house' somewhere & use d bridge as a front for begging. Also its possible their relatives put dem up to dis. I'm curious as to how she gave birth to d first child & how she conceived d second, abi na d same undabridge dem do d ting???? Better still, his mental state shld be examined.
Eno go ever better for this man. Them say opportunity calls but once. I only pity his wife and son. We have not been giving the reason he was sacked from two jobs, Probably because he was a lazy A H.Na dis kin people dey spoil our country.Effin B. I am very sure there is more to this story than we are been told. If una go speak to people we konw am well, una fit get more tory about this ungrateful lout.
We should not mind this stupid man, he must have secret thing doing under the bridge, it is not how orji doing his own. He even comfortable give his wife another pregnant, they are not suffer is Lagosian that used to pity who does not deserve it. Shameless woman and she is yoruba woman, she can't say that she does have relations who can see to her welfare, we yoruba assist less priviledges in the family, they are lazy people, a beg Oga Fashola sweep them away from the bridge our Eko ko gbodo baje, o baje ti.
Abeg, ignore the nuisance. He is not serious. He is insisting on 100k. If 100k is easy to stumble on just like that, let me him get it. The man is up to something.
Poverty coupled with low mentality is affecting this man.That is the kind of mentality the househelp i took from the village has.They always feel bitter about gestures and will rather not be shown one.Sorry mannnn
*Tears in my eyes* Poor child! Mr Obu please think of your child sleeping under a bridge. The dirt, disease, bugs, noise, ravaged by the elements! Please!
Linda do you know if there's a system in Nigeria similar to the social services, that can take this child from him, at least until he figures himself out.
pregnant wife and and child shld be assisted with shelter and leave the man to languish under the bridge...are u sure he doesnt have some mental problems?? who rejects such an offer???
November 18, 2011 4:00 AM <--- then he should take what he is given first settle down and look for a job. someone even offered to help him kick start his business he refused. is he mad? like really. who is he to sit down and demand a huge sum of 100grand? afterall is it us that asked him to start a family when he knows financially he is not secure or even close to it?
when i was younger... i knew a little boy that will go on the road after school and start begging. a lil extra way to make cash. who knows.. this people might be doing the same thing..jst saying. and no.. the little boy was not poor. his family was well comfy
The fact that his wife is pregnant under their living conditions is a testament to how stupid this couple are. Abeg na who send una come Lagos. Stay na if una no leave. See case o. Mchew!
In a way i cannot blame this man though. There say give a man a fish and he will remain poor but if you teach a man how to fish he will never be poor. So if he says a business is what he wants to do why not? Let’s give this man a chance now. If he fails @ it then too bad for him and his family
if una like make una insult me oo... why making babies when u dont have money to take care of them? if d first one na mistake, what of the second one? that is why povert no wan leave nigeria..my parent have 8kids in one bedroom apartment ( which kind apartment abi boysqualter..hahah) now am in europe wiht my immediate sister but the poverty stil dey our family cos my senior sisters get many kids(13kids altogether) and they cant take care of them. they all depend on me and my sister. i think we should stop making babies if we dont have money to take care of them.
Another child!!..probably become another stat..those kids raped and abused!! This story is similar to the those who refuse to leave the Ghettoes in the USA..'cos as soon as they move into proper abode..Welfare Cheques would stop..no more lazying about.. Same with Dude..he knows getting a room he would need to step up his game..but guess that's way too much 4 him to handle..
Has anybody bothered to find out the man's side of it? A friend of mine did so. It turns out that the atm lady did not buy a thing for them. She wanted them to ask people to pay any money into her account and then she gives it to him. They have accepted the Ayobo house and will soon move in though it is bare of all furnishings. They wanted to wait a bit so people will not think their problem is over and forget about helping them set up a business. The lady wants a provision store and does not mind going with the person to the market to know the prices. The man wants a timber store and is willing to do any kind of work. Linda, you should at least have investigated this PM story (knowing they like to exaggerate things and like sensationalism).
I think this man should be jailed 1. For fathering a child without a job (how the fuck does he intend to take care of the baby) 2. For keeping a baby in such conditions.. This mofo wants money over accommodation offers and finds no qualms in having sex under a bridge, day in day out. *hiss*
