God have mercy. But the contractor should take the blame, really. How many of us after awarding contracts go to check who the contractor is using to execute he contract? Just because it is now a Church?
This is crying wolf over nothing. I can't see any of the children working... none is carrying or handling any tool or item suggesting that they're working. In fact these are children just playing around. Linda plz respect ur reputation and be more circumspect and incisive over ur content. Don't post every garbage people send u.
Where is the welfare package for members in this church to sponsor children to the least Primary and secondary education in the most affordable public school until they are teenagers to decide they want to learn skill in building.
And have u guys thot of the fact that things are very difficult in this country this might be the only means of food for the kids? Before we condem like provide other means for kids in this condition
Ummmm,this is how some of them survive,i won't blame d kids,if they don't work how will they eat?it happens everywhere,tho its not right,its also not "wrong" if u considere their situation,d Poverty in dis country is alarming,but our president eats 1billion yearly.. Smh
Alloy will not have part of d 100k!! He says stella dimoko is his boo,let his boo give him 100k,shebi he even used d 25k he won to send recharge card on her blog!? Stupid idiot shameless boy
Dis is so wrong, but on d second tot, it's not dd church directly, d contractor shuld be held responsible, on anoda tot @ mista juix live ow many street child av u helped off d street? D country is so bad, d govt is clueless n always blaming opposition for everytin, dividing us tru ethnic n religious line for dere selfish interest...dis kids gonna eat so get use to it n face d idiots running our economy in all level, APC n PDP samu noni
Hmmm how do you always make it to the top ten in comments. Do you live on this blog or do U get notified by Linda before she post? Oga Bona Bona you are def a loyal reader o
Let us just be realistic, dis kids on the scaffold don't look like they are working. There is no work shown ongoing, as a matter of fact, what skill do they possess to warrant them working at height? As far as I am concerned, they are up on the scaffold, playing.
We may call it child labour but the kids needs the money more than we can think of. Our society is so messed up. Was once like them and not that i lack anything but for more money in my pocket. my money is my money and not my parents'. Don't think both is to be blamed, just speaking out of experience.
Is the church the contractor? There is a contractor assigned to this project. Stop this nonsense. Why does some people reason with their anus? @amfestus
And some people are there buying 80 million Limo when Kids like this still exist in our country and later they will come and be telling me that I should love my neighbour as myself. NONSENSE( in late Justice Esiri's voice)
Hypocrites get a life and ask questions... Yes it is a construction site but the pics does not in any way suggest the kids are working(they are probably playing) the could have followed their parent to their work place...check the last pics/tweet the position the kid on blue is standing does not show any on going work as rendering has already been done and painting hasn't commence...atleast the pics says so..beside why are the kid outside on the scaffold while the work man/men seem to be plastering internal walls!!! People just look for cheap way of becoming internet human right celebrity without considering the person on the receiving end....
The thing is I don't see them doing any work here. Maybe kids just playing on the ground , being where they are not supposed to be, besides anglican employ labourers not kids. CELEB
I honestly don't think the church is at fault,the labour workers working on the site should be blame..the person that send this pics make a better investigations before put the blame on the church.is it the church members working or labour workers(bricklayers)
We are the problem. We don't want to pay tax or bills. We want the government to breastfeed us. We cheat each other. We are not ethical. We exploit the poor. Our government are rogues and we are in cohort with them. Nobody cares about the betterment of the nation through sacrifice of self greed.
The contractor is responsible for the betterment of his crew. The church should ensure this evil is stopped.
And some morons would castigate the church as if its d authority of d churh that hire the lil boy to work on the site. Lets face it, poverty level in this country is alarming if not a young chap should be in the class learning.
Kai if I know dis guy honestly would love to give dem something, tot I was broke but wen I c dis kind things I kneel down and said baba God I thank you for my life. #drops tears.
Nigerians! Pls let's use our brain. Put ur brain to work. Dis pic doesn't prove dey r working on d site bt rather dey r playing mayb after d workers had left or finished d day's work. Church wouldn't have employed children....
N I guess if d pastor calls ur children to do dis labour offering u will agree? Rubbish... Where r d youths n adults in d church... Even if dey lyk doing y r u dere elder one for..... No just make me vex dis evening
Considering that there's no adult in sight,it might be that those kids are just playing around on their own as inquisitive as they can be. They can't be the only ones working on a construction site on a normal day. Not to talk of climbing up.
That's the reason they should supervise their buildings-to forestall things like this and TB Joshua incidence. You want to tell me they haven't been going to check on yhis building construction? Nah!
They are working for money at the same time building the house of the lord, I was like them and doing the same laborer and would still give the money to very old women around for them to use it for feeding and cook soup. I believe their future is bright! God is a miracle God
Just maybe its not the Church dat hired dem directly. Maybe dey are children of the real labourers. It still doznt look good tho. They oughtto be in school securing their future.
What difference does it make when Most Of You called University Graduate walk around with no Job, Most are Salves for Corporate, While Most can't kill their Ego to do such a dirty Job. #Building
First i wanna say that it's indeed Surprising and sad, but what more can i SAY? Maybe they have the Passion for Building Or are being Trained for this!
Please i am keen about their Safety!!! No Helmet and protective materials for the Kids, which is so so Bad.

Anglican has nothing to do with this. When there's no food, what do you expect? The person that even sent this, you can hire the boy and better send him to school.
What is child labour here? if a child chooses to willingly work in a any construction site, is there anything wrong? or is it because its church this busy body element wants to make noise

God have mercy.
But the contractor should take the blame, really.
How many of us after awarding contracts go to check who the contractor is using to execute he contract?
Just because it is now a Church?
This is an eye-sore. The site supervisor should be questioned. What are those kids doing up there for crying out loud?
Na wao,wat if one of dem miss his step n fall?
Mz B
This is not good in every level, what if they fall off ?
It's called child abuse. Sweedydiagold@gmail.com
What a child abuse, church should help not to suffer
We can't just jump into conclusion that they are working...cos it not so glaring that they are from the pic...
Dis is child labour, churches are suppose 2 set gud examples
What on earth is this? Can't really understand what they ate doing up there. This is bad now. Matt 7:16. BishopDammy#
Are u kidding me?church for that matter....smh

We shouldn't conclude they are working cos the pic I see doesn't really tell much bout them working...

Linda plz respect ur reputation and be more circumspect and incisive over ur content. Don't post every garbage people send u.
Does churches hire labourer directly or get contractors who do d job???
Where is the welfare package for members in this church to sponsor children to the least Primary and secondary education in the most affordable public school until they are teenagers to decide they want to learn skill in building.
#ChildLabor #Nigerianattitudesickensme #myopinionofcourse

Sure, its simply Child labour. What happened to all the grown ups who do labourer-jobs? SMH
The engineer should be held not the church
Are you sure the kids ain't playing there, I don't believe they are working there as the laborers #onelovefromSnow#

Disheartening if true
I totally agree with her,the highest form of child labour,this shld be addressed
this is really crazy the guys needs to be dealt with.
I doubt if those children are working or they are just catching fun.
its all good God is watching us......
With a Corrupt country like ours what won't pass as a normal thing. Am sure the site engineer doesn't see any thing wrong in this.
Nawa oOoooo
I don't think the kids are been paid for this. In some churches it's called labour offering and u can decide to do it or not...kids love to do it
Unbelieveable
Hmmm how do you always make it to the top ten in comments. Do you live on this blog or do U get notified by Linda before she post? Oga Bona Bona you are def a loyal reader o

Na adventure, God!
U dont blame the church ..U blame the contractor..Be wise and be reasonable please
Dats why I don't go to church
It's because of you innocent souls bleach away their destiny. People like you may get by on looks alone but beauty is beyond skin deep.
Black is beautiful. To some other racist you're just a monkey with an iPhone doing what monkies do...take selfies.
They r doing it for chop money, don't blame d employer or d children. Blame it on d wicked country.
Lord ha' mercy!
Now they'l say d kids are doin God's work. *pshhhh...*
We may call it child labour but the kids needs the money more than we can think of. Our society is so messed up. Was once like them and not that i lack anything but for more money in my pocket. my money is my money and not my parents'. Don't think both is to be blamed, just speaking out of experience.
Blame it on the engineer in charge....
haba naaa diz is not good
Poverty is a bastard.

Don't be ignorant please. The church is better off building schools than huge ostentatious buildings. God is not pleased.
Its all gud
Hypocrites get a life and ask questions...

People just look for cheap way of becoming internet human right celebrity without considering the person on the receiving end....
ABEG the church must have giving the contract out to a building company Why calling Anglican as if it is them that sent the kids???
The thing is I don't see them doing any work here. Maybe kids just playing on the ground , being where they are not supposed to be, besides anglican employ labourers not kids. CELEB
This is not fear...

We are the problem.
We don't want to pay tax or bills. We want the government to breastfeed us. We cheat each other. We are not ethical.
We exploit the poor.

Is the child the breadwinner?

And some morons would castigate the church as if its d authority of d churh that hire the lil boy to work on the site. Lets face it, poverty level in this country is alarming if not a young chap should be in the class learning.
The church shouldn't be criticized or blame the reverend. The contractor should be held accountable for child abuse.

Considering that there's no adult in sight,it might be that those kids are just playing around on their own as inquisitive as they can be. They can't be the only ones working on a construction site on a normal day. Not to talk of climbing up.
This is sad
Enh! I no dey oooo
I don't believe any body, group or association will hire kids 2 do work such as tthis 4 them. Big lie
Haba! The church that should be a role model has become an offender....it is well o.

U guys haven't seen anything ....this is even better , there are worst cases that I have also witnessed in rivers state as well ...
These are wayward kids scavenging a construction site. They ain't labourers. Let us not play to the gallery here. Study the pixes well PLEASE.
This is dangerous...very risky
We see that everywhere, nt just in church. Everywhere.
Failed country.....self centred politicians...wicked rulers. Mtchewwwww Success begins with self discipline, it's starts with this http://www.earnrealpay.net/aff/go/Imonik
Hope this is not true , it will be so wrong.
These are street urchins climbing and playing they are not working on d site
Too bad
State government and not the federal government.. for those of us raining insults on my president..
Stuffs like this makes you swimming with thoughts.... But first ask yourself "were are the parents of this children"
That's the reason they should supervise their buildings-to forestall things like this and TB Joshua incidence. You want to tell me they haven't been going to check on yhis building construction? Nah!
Let someone die and see who would be blamed!
nawa oo. d church should be reported to court. this is child abuse.
@bolalita. Its dat simple. They actuali beg 4 d jobs. They even book for jobs on arab contractors. Na hustling
Wot are a country!! Poverty is an evil spirit!!!!
No be story again be this! Hustling don enter everyone eyes
They came wit their fathers to d site.
Those kids may be the bread winners in their homes.Its an evident of failed government/state.
Oh dis is child labour, there is nothing we won't see in nigeria
God help us! this is child abuse.
GOD help us all...people are really suffering
Probably kids playing around or looking for little money for their pockets...
They are working for money at the same time building the house of the lord, I was like them and doing the same laborer and would still give the money to very old women around for them to use it for feeding and cook soup. I believe their future is bright! God is a miracle God
Kilode?
Just maybe its not the Church dat hired dem directly. Maybe dey are children of the real labourers. It still doznt look good tho. They oughtto be in school securing their future.
What difference does it make when Most Of You called University Graduate walk around with no Job, Most are Salves for Corporate, While Most can't kill their Ego to do such a dirty Job. #Building
First i wanna say that it's indeed Surprising and sad, but what more can i SAY? Maybe they have the Passion for Building Or are being Trained for this!
Please i am keen about their Safety!!! No Helmet and protective materials for the Kids, which is so so Bad.

The level of poverty now is pushing people into taking serious risk. What will the children when their parent can't provide for them. May God help us.
;One and only Ada David Omobabalanu says so.
Too bad
please stop calling the church because they will never do such. There should someone in charge of employing workers, am sure he is behind this act.

Can the church be aware of this? I don't think so, chief engineer are you trying to save cost?
Anglican has nothing to do with this. When there's no food, what do you expect? The person that even sent this, you can hire the boy and better send him to school.
chai this is bad, child abuse God will save us ooo
What is child labour here? if a child chooses to willingly work in a any construction site, is there anything wrong? or is it because its church this busy body element wants to make noise
it is really bad except d child is doing it on his or her own accord, but it is risky for the health of that child
maybe they wer jst playn
I think it is really bad and something needs to be done for those children.
