“I Spent 10 Years With Drug Addicts Under Lagos Bridges”- Dolapo Osinbajo

Wife of the Vice President of Nigeria, Pastor
Dolapo Osinbajo, has recounted how she
spent about 10 years with street urchins
under several notorious Lagos bridges in a
bid to reshape their lives.



Dolapo Osinbajo revealed this when she
spoke at a “Teens Career Conference” put
together by The Everlasting Arms Parish
TEAP of the Redeemed Christian Church of
God RCCG, Garki, Abuja.



She said;
“When I became a worker in the church,
the first place I worked was the Teenage
Church and for 10 years I was in the
Children’s Church.


“For 10 years, I was under the bridge;
under the bridge in Lagos with ‘Area
Boys’. So, every kind of drug that there is,
I know about it.


I have seen it before and
I have seen the effects as well and I will
like you to know that the ones that use it
are not different from you.



“Some of them too have parents in the
church. Some of them have parents with
very big names.



There are some streets in
Lagos that the names of the streets are
names of people, some of which have
their children under the bridge.



“There were people whose parents lived
in America and yet their children were
under the bridge.



So, do not even imagine
that it cannot happen to you, but you
must be an example in your conduct.”
