If I find a product labelled made by poor kid. I will buy it!!! Because when I was one of them I can recall very well how tough it was. Now that I have purchase power I'd prefer to buy stuff made by poor kids to help them out. Men are a result of a kid growing knowing where money comes from. That one has to work to earn his keeping. And that there's nothing wrong with that. macavity: I lived seven and a half years in Kaduna and one year in Beinin City, Bendel state. I know most of Northern Nigeria, Sojoto, Katsina, Minna, Kano, Bauchi Jos and Abuja. Just visit Ibadan and Port Harcourt once.

In a civilized society children go to school, learn basic reading, writing, math & then either enter workforce or continue on to higher education. It is one thing to help one's parents do SOME farmwork or SOME clerking in store. But education & time for recreation should take precedence over labor. If the child chooses to join labor force once she has completed basic education, that's her choice. Greed is what causes an injustice like child labor. Those without a conscience or moral fiber in their greed create an ugly life for life's most vulnerable creatures. Those who invest in companies who employ child labor are indeed Mr. Scrooges--heartless, greedy misers who the world would be far better if they were never born.
