*There is so much hardship in Nigeria that it is now as if there is competition to be the best thief..I watched a parade on TVC this morning and i was shocked at how many youth are taking to serious crime everyday......A mum was paraded for helping her sons keep the things they steal from people and this same mum already has two sons in jail for armed robbery...I watched her cry and my heart broke......She resorted to this route because of broad day light suffering......
