Take a walk on the wild side of Lagos … ever had to yield to “area boys” AKA agbero? Have you ever had to pay ‘fines’ like for parking spots on the street?

Do you want to know what it takes to be one? These guys work hard in the sun and collect money from people – including private motorists and public transport drivers for hours on end.

Their motivation? Some said they are training their children through school and would rather do this than being armed robbers or being idle.

Watch from BattaBox!
