Making begging a culture.
Asking for alms is not new to man and it is even explicitly allowed in the three monolithic religions of the world (Islam, Christianity and Judaism). This is because beggers shall not cease in the land. Begging and beggers havenow take different dimensions and forms, some are identified here
1. Student beggers: They use an appeal to pity to ask for money from you. They would not beg normally, but circustances may force them to. E.g Bros, pls help me, I am a student of Uni..., I misplaced my wallet, help me with transport fare to Ilorin(assumed place)
2. Mall beggers:Always at the entrance of a shopping mall or bank. Once you done buying or transacting, they tell you- Big guy, Na you oo, Anything for us too.
3. Highway beggers: These are usually of the
Northern Nigeria extract with one arm or leg chopped off. They stay in potholes and ask travellers to drop arms for them. These beggers are proud and very insulting.
4. ATM beggers: Though not common in the southern part of Nigeria, these beggers wear good clothes and smell nice. They approach you once you done using the ATM and say all the prayers of the worlds for you. In the end, they beg.
4. Social begger:Common in the southwest Nigeria, these beggers rely on the pretext of fixing ribbon on your dress during special days or events such as weddings, birthdays, Valentine's day, New year and so. These type are also occasional beggers as they have enjoined patronage from the public, especially those who give too easily.
