O seti go

El-rufai,don spoiled market for the professional beggar,nah to leave kaduna to another place to ply ur trade be that oo...but for the street hawkers who couldnt afford a shop to display their petty goods nko?there shud a measure to help them out_nawah ooo

tyrant

I swear to Obatala, El-Rufai is the kinda President Nigeria needs.

This El-Rufai knows exactly the problem of his people

Well, i can't say much on dis since the details of dis legislation is not made available. But from the given, dis is not totally acceptable. d fact that there are fake beggars should not make us forget many who for no fault of their own are in genuine need of alms & alms giving are cardinal virtues in both d bible & d quran. d law should rather incriminate anyone found begging unnecessarily. Or has el rufai provided for all d basic needs of d wretched of d earth in Kaduna?

100% supported

Maybe hell rufai is going mad..... Does it mean if I decide to help someone I will be jailed..... This is real madness

He's obviously not looking for a second term.

Nasir is the kind of leader this country needs.

He get the job done and doesn't care about political correctness.


God bless you Governor Nasir el-rufai.

This is the kind of leaders we need in this country

Even in Germany, ppl do beg on the street so I don't see anything bad in asking for alms

Love him or hate him, he's the best governor we have right now !


Apostle Johnson Suleiman, we need the date and time el-rufai will die pls.

I expect more migrations of beggars from that state to the west.
