Alot of people that have nothing doing find it very challenging to feed and meets ends needs. parents finds it challenging to sponsor their children in school, so this lead to illiteracy and ignorance among children in the outside world.

It brought about some social and economic consequences such as increase in crime rates, loss of respect or identity, reduction in purchasing, psychological injuries and corruption among others.
