Sad pic of a child doing his homework while waiting to polish shoes
According to Wall Street Journal Journalist, Ehsanullah Amiri - this heartbreaking pic
was taken of a child on the street doing his school homework
while waiting for customers so he'll perform his shoe - shining duties.
People like this make it more in life cuz they have suffered and understand the meaning of savings and investments and d basic rules of how its bn applied. Some things u can't just learn in school!
The G in God should always be typed in capital letter. You wouldn't start your mere name in a small letter so you do that with God no! I don't care if this is only a comment, it's that serious
Wow, Well its Obtainable here too.. I saw one on Ijesha Pedestrian Bridge writing home work whilst selling PAP.. . . . .NOTE: Raise Your Words, Not Your Voice. It Is Rain That Grows Flowers, Not Thunder..
Really Bonita. That's why the boy has to actively make life fair and square for himself. God will do the rest for him. We all feast and get drunk on LIB daily but we always need posts like this to sober up. Life was never a bed of roses for most of us but with good education and voracious reading we can enter all the nooks and crannies of the white house, fly biz class on A380, sail on 60 foot luxury yacht without even getting out of bed. Ya know. Personally this boy is an inspiration to me.
It's not a sad pics my dear. Great people always have hard beginnings. Great Footballer Pele was once a shoe polisher. Where I came from in 80's (Ughelli, Delta St.) you must sell plantain or Garri as a young boy or girl to sustain your lazy parents. The young boy will definitely get there in due time. Na everywhere e dey.
Some of us went through worse conditions in life before we are what we are now. Its part of the reality of life. The poor cannot cease to exist in the society. I was once poor to but never let my situation put me down
In journalism, we call this "Afghanistanism": The act of focusing on events outside while ignoring same at home. Saw a picture too of a girl doing her homework under the sun while selling ground nut but I didn't see anybody awww that picture. see what I mean?
So touching. I feel this is part of his success story tomorrow. One will never believe what people have gone through in life, after having successfully made it.
Determination..despite d fact dt he had little or no means he's determined 2 get an education n become a better person. 2moro he will b celebrated by d same society he helped polished their shoes. I dnt think its sad Linda,I think its inspiring,I c a child hu against all odds is determined 2 live out his drms.
linda i knw how diz feelz like. while growing up i did similar stuffz. was alwayz wit mum in a noisy public market selling/reading for waec. it wasnt easy n not a gud feeling but ThankGod dat i made it n am not doing bad.
In my opinion, there is nothing sad about this picture. I am happy that despite poverty and child labour, this child goes to school and is even diligent enough to do his homework. To think I have to shout and beat sometimes to make my kids do home work. Who get cap no get head and vice versa.

This is my kind of guy. This boy will be very rich. Don't be surprised that one of this rich famous people will discover him and adopt him or take up his sponsorship. Nigerians like complaining and talking too much. The govt this, the economy that, instead of you to get of your arse and struggle it out. One of the way is by being a very brilliant student in school.
aww! god help him
