Child Abuse Or Not?

Last night I went for drinks with my friends, at Eden Garden Park. There were different performances but the most spectacular performance of the day was a group of young boys who came to perform.

I don't think those boys must have finished secondary school. They were really young. I looked at my watch and it was 11:30pm, I was like WHAT? Why are they out performing in a joint at this hour? Aren't they suppose to be studying?

I was still reasoning those questions when a bigger bomb was thrown. The youngest member of the group was introduced; a 4year old boy and he danced very, very well. He could do every step - Azonto, Etighi, Twisting, Gala and Co.

I was complaining of the older ones whom I assumed to be in secondary school. For this 4year old boy, I couldn't talk.

The little boy thrilled the crowd. Come and see spraying, as in that child must have taken nothing less than 50k home last night. The MC insisted that since he was so young, the least amount to spray him with was 1000 naira, and people were spraying.

Some one sitting behind me then made a statement. "This is child abuse using this young boy to make money at this hour. If it was during the day it would have been fine but at almost midnight, nah! Its child abuse."

I guess I wasn't the only one who found it strange to see children performing so late in the night.

WAG readers, is it child abuse or not? What do you guys think.

One thing I know for sure be say, if to say by MISTAKE(I know sha I won't allow my baby perform so late at night for people drinking and smoking), na my pikin be that. I would jejely sit beside the stage and be watching the money. In short, na me go personally pick the money before one stage manager come give me story say na 100 naira dey spray, Lol.

INFO OF THE DAY: Child Labour In Africa
Child labour problem is severe in sub-saharan Africa where more than 40% of all children aged 5–14 labour for survival. That is about 48 million children.

Poverty is considered as the primary cause of child labor in Africa.
