ArseQPR: I have see this guy before on Ikorodu road. I use to wonder then who brings him around because he looks really blind. I also think his dressing would make him stand out from other beggars and it would make pple pity him more thereby giving him money.

gabriel212: A young girl met me on my way to office last month and said
Her: Good morning sir, please come and buy sweet for me no socks
Me: What do you need is it socks / sweet?
Her: socks
Me: I gave her #150
on the next day when I was going to office, the same girl approached me again
Her: Excuse me sir, come and buy socks for me
Me: Were you not the one I gave #150 yesterday?
Her: They stole it from my bag
Me: you are a liar I don't believe you
And she immediately left me. since then, I had not seen her on that route again.

Stånd: The recent trend now is young school children in uniform begging money and following people on the streets. So many of them have approached me around Ikeja. I just hope some parents are now aware that their children might be begging and following strangers...
One approached me and told me:

Boy: Aunty pls, I need money to buy my literature book. I lost the money my mum gave me.

Me: I will give you a dirty slap if you don't get off my back.

# This young boy was neatly dressed in a Private School Uniform.
And its almost December already..I pray these young children don't fall in the wrong hands...

ifyalways: Lol. Dem many for lagos with ridiculous stories like :
They are stranded.
They'll show u a doctors prescription and claim they need money for the last two drugs.
They were duped and need just bus fare to get back to Oshogbo or Ijebu.
They're going for an interview and their pocket was picked hence they need bus fare.

All na wash.

gustdableman: they are in europe as well, mostly ladies, they will tell you that they miss there last train they need money to buy another ticket, always on train station

Vock:
STFU.. U COULDN'T HAVE GIVEN HIM MONEY.. from the angle of that pix, u were in a bus and couldn't have given him money cos the man does not run after buses and the driver couldn't have stopped for you to give him money... we are not fools here

Lilimax:
Some of them may have genuine reasons .

I remembered some years a go while I was still I the university,I was robbed of my bag around
Mile 2 bustop in Lagos. All the money with me was in the bag.

I turned to a semi-beggar that day just for me to raise a transport fare back home.
Trust Lagosians, no help was forth coming
I was later rescued by one gentleman.

It was not a good experience at all...

GhaliNaaba: Na so one dey beg for money. He say em pikin dey hospital and doctor wan change plasenta for his body.

chux76:


Did this happen sometime btw 2001 and 2003 or later not too sure of the year though?
Was it at Mile 2 bus-stop btw the hrs of 8pm and after?
Was it at Mile 2 Oke...the other end where buses going to Orile pick up passengers??

Having nostalgic feelings here....I was that gentleman that rescued you.
