So you could type and yap all nonsense but don't know how to reason? Yet you could come against people that same man improvised for years, especially in Lagos State, and expect a response from me just because of one liner from my write-up? Your certificate is a disgrace.quote author=gasparpisciotta post=133543532] No sir. Please educate me. Use the beggars in Ikotun as an example [/quote] |

shoodboi2:it is an islamic thing. I see you for the hypocrite that you are, after castigating him for mentioning Muslims you still went ahead and said your father pays those that comes to collect sallah money, the last time I checked sallah is a Muslim thing and have everything to do with religion. |

diamond68: professor of witchcraft, are you telling me that you cant answer simple questions based on your claim of wealth transfer by witches and wizards at tinubus gate? cant you give me a figure of how much of tinubus wealth they have transferred to themselves? or have you run out of fabricated fables? |

These Bourdillion beggars are Tinubu's political tool if he dares settle them once and for all his political relevance could fade into oblivion.The way to keep them at his beck and call is to keep handing out meagre and fleeting relief-keep- them-coming strategy for political advantage is the name of the gane.

diamond68: how much of tinubus wealth and power have these "beggars" been able to siphon for themselves? did you witness the siphoning? |

This reminds me of how beggars and aged parents trek to or transport themselves to the saraki's house in Ilorin just to be given one cooked wrap of semovita after sitting in the sun for hours. mschewww! Like, who do us this kind thing? which sane child allows their parents to go through such stress and humiliation? God! |

JaskanFactor: This takes the lead in warp sense of thinking concerning world leadership structure. Your historical analysis using the Goth, Edward Heath and whatever, and their gory past to generalise the choice of the worst set of human beings as leaders of nation must be a scenario out of the theatre of the absurd. With this are you saying Cyrus, the good Persian leader who granted Israel liberty in his days, or Abraham Lincoln or Nelson Mandela were gays or serial killers before they were chosen as national leaders? That is highly preposterous. |

gasparpisciotta: I swear. There are people with that mindset, and there is very little you can do about it. I run a small charity foundation, and we help widows and single mothers. You can't keep helping same person over and over, because there are many people to help. But what I have noticed is that, some people just have that mentality that someone must always give them money and alms, even though they can work to get themselves out of whatever situation they are in. Any small problem they have, that can be easily solved by them will be ignored. Instead, they will wait till they see you again, to ask you to help them out of the problem. Once you give them money once, or help them out of a problem once, they will turn you to their mini god, and always want you to keep giving them money forever. 1 Like |

gasparpisciotta:But this write up was very explicit. Which part do u not understand? Open a charity centre, whenever u sed them around your gate, redirect them to the charity centre. Do it 2 to 3 times and they will stop coming to ur gate Simple |

Begging is not synonymous to Nigeria alone there are beggars all over the world and every religion especially monotheistic ones encourage taking care of beggars while must U be attributing it to Islam alone? And why is the blame on the person that is helping the beggars? While not telling those queuing up to ask for peanut to think of there dignity and humanism first before lining up for hours to collect peasant. In Nigeria everybody thinks they have opinion... If a rich fellow refuses to give alms he would be tag as being a miser if he also gives he will be tagged as loving to see people poor, what exactly can U do to satisfy the black man..... 1 Like |

"Rather than having them line up on the streets just so they can be handed a pittance after they have been deemed to have suffered enough, why not establish proper feeding centres in several zones in Lagos, where people can show up at scheduled times to pick whatever welfare items you want to give them? Philanthropy should not require that people be debased before they are fed." Suffer them and handout peanuts to them. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Risingblue008: This is what their ers want. They prefer to wallow in penury and despair as long as the people they steal and loot the collective wealth. |

shoodboi2: Don't pretend that this 'religion' of giving is not a core tent of Islam. Who are the majority of beggars and why? |

"To be clear, Bourdillon Road is not unique in this respect. I grew up in Ibadan, Oyo State, and the sight of economically challenged people assembling in front of the house of well-to-do Muslims to beg for alms is not exactly rare. If you mingle with them, you will marvel at the complexity of the poverty that will make someone travel—as they claim—a considerable distance to beg. You will be surprised at the distance some of those who resume at Bourdillon have travelled just to fritter away time while expecting the man—or any of his affluent visitors—to extend them some handouts. People like that come expecting to be given alms because their shared religion with the benefactor stipulates that moneyed people must transfer some income to the poor to maintain the munificence of providence. That explains why wherever you have Islam and poverty, you are guaranteed a nuisance of beggars. That is also why I think FCT Minister Nyesom Wike was wasting time when he started haranguing beggars in the nation’s capital. When religion validates panhandling, you cannot do away with the social tradition it engenders by making a noise. Rich and well-organised Islamic countries do not have this problem for self-evident reasons." [/b] ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Jeezuzpick: As much as I am anti- Tinubu, nope! It is not his policies that started their begging careers. For some of them, it is a religious obligation they expect their 'rich brothers & sisters' to perform. 1 Like |

As bad as it is, it didn't start today. That place has been a mecca for people for over a decade. Whenever they hear Tinubu is in town, people flock there
