Meet one of the craziest people on the streets of Nigeria - the Agbero! The name Agbero means tout, or Area Boy, or a young man loosely organised into a street gang, often found hanging around motorparks or under bridges. They are accused of extorting money, working as conductors on buses and danfos, performing odd jobs for money, and notorious for taking drugs.
