I believe the second solution will be more appropriate since it is also backed by religious doctrines. There is no section of the holy book that permits neglecting of children. The thing about most Nigerians is that we are very selfish, most of this parents that marry many wives are just after their own gain without thinking of the consequences. These days there are some children that sleeps on pedestrian bridges in Lagos, after a lifetime of begging they are now thieves. You can't climb the pedestrian bridge in the night without being attacked by this children.

That's the main challenge. When a child isn't shown love, he grows to see everyone else as being responsible for his misfortune.
The parents were the greatest culprits. Unfortunately, they unleash the revenge meant for their parents on other people they encounter. Anywhere you have those children in their numbers, the spot becomes a hot one in terms of insecurity. We are experiencing the same thing in Kaduna. Once it is 7 pm and I am returning home, my phone must be in my pocket else someone could just snatch it and evaporate into the thin air.
