Two Nigerian immigrants, identified only Wisdom and Osas in Italy have gained international attention after volunteering to sweep the streets in Italy. The sweeping collective was founded by the duo who came up with the idea because they had no money but did not want to beg on the streets.

Meet Nigerian men who sweep streets in Italy just to survive
In an audio interview with BBC, the Nigerians revealed that they are more than 300 Nigerian guys sweeping the streets as people give them money to appreciate their work. They also added that they’ve been in Italy for nine months and decided to sweep the streets rather than remaining idle in the migrant camp.

Its disturbing how most of our people look at this abroad thing. Some think when you travel abroad you pick money on the streets. Also, in some cases, the agonies of Nigerians seeking greener pastures abroad are never pleasing to the ears or befitting of someone who boasted so much about travelling abroad.
The implication of this on the economy is that the numbers of Nigerians wishing to travel abroad to seek greener pastures overseas will increase because Nigerians have become desperate in their crave to travel and live abroad in search of the proverbial greener pasture.
The question now is..what do we do about this situation?
