Two Nigerian
immigrants have gotten international attention after volunteering to sweep the
streets in Italy. According to reports, it’s hard to find a job if one is in the
process of claiming asylum but these Nigerians living in a migrant camp in Rome
started a voluntary street sweeping collective.

started a voluntary street sweeping collective.
The sweeping collective
was founded by Wisdom and Osas, who came up with the idea because they had no
money but did not want to beg on the streets.
In an
audio interview with BBC, the Nigerians revealed that they’ve been in Italy for
nine months and decided to sweep the streets rather than remaining idle in the
migrant camp.
They revealed that they are more than 300 Nigerian guys sweeping the
streets as people give them money to appreciate their work
