TV Personality, Mo Abudu has expressed concern over two young boys she met outside the Eko Hotel and Suites in Victoria Island, Lagos.
The young boys, 10 and 11 years old, come all the way from Agege to perform outside the venue in hope of seeing someone to give them money.

”I was out at an Event at Eko Hotel last night with some of my friends – @ruthosime, @prideandjoylagos, @abiolaotufale. On our way out around midnight, the most interesting thing happened. Waiting for our cars to pull up we bump into 2 young boys rapping, Mubarak and Olamilekan. Aged 11 and 10. They come to Eko Hotel to entertain guests and of course get tipped. Now street busking is not a new phenomena, my concern was why 2 young underage boys will be out doing this at midnight. In our short interview with them, ( yep at times I speak Yoruba ), I found out they do this to raise money for their school fees and to support their mothers. I have collected his phone number and I intend to reach out. I will keep you posted on how these discussions go. We must do better for our children. Please #slideleft to see the rest of this video”.
