As long as they're not begging with gun on my head, that shouldn't be a problem. No matter how you beg, if I no wan give, I no go give.

You definitely will get irritated at some point. Imagine almost missing your flight because someone at the airport is intentionally delaying you because they want to beg.

I've had some of the folks searching through luggage at the airport beg me for my hairclippers cos he saw them in my luggage. I allowed him take it but that stuff will explode as soon as he plugs it at home cos it's meant for 110v the US uses. He didn't even care if I had some type of disease, he just wanted to beg. Imagine dealing with almost 20 begging men and women in uniforms before making it to your gate within the airport. It's irritating.

See them talking. NIGERIAN PARENTS FAILED THIS COUNTRY. take it or leave it.

No morally upright and well raise person would indulge in this.

Advise: Don't just raise a child lead your family compound, raise them to lead a nation. We are a disgrace and every problem plaguing us stem from home.. from home. fix the home and nation will be fixed.

how many Nigerian children come from a functional family or marriage to start with


Nigeria's problem again is lack of birth control. People marrying without financial direction or preparation for the kids they intend to birth.

People getting married and giving birth to several kids without financial preparation or backup, but hoping on luck, fate and relatives to help them out!


These are the root cause of Nigeria's predicament

The begging is terrible even inside church; they think you don't have problems of your own.

On point, Nigeria ought to have implemented the 1 child policy like China decades ago.

Northern Muslims will come out and tell you that its against Islamic religion, and the MUMURIC will support them and Yoruba Muslims will back them up and go all out against Igbos for even thinking of that.


These are some of the numerous reasons Nigeria need to either restructure and go back to regional system of government canceled by Gowon, to enable Nigeria function as a small regional government units with unique regional laws, bilaws, etc to ensure effective governance and performance assessment, or peacefully divide into interested regions that wish to form their own independent nation

Who cares!If he vowed never to visit Nigeria again watin concerns us.
Actually every human is born with an iota of begging in him.If you don't beg for money you beg for some other things: You beg to have sex,you beg someone to marry you,you beg to be employed, you beg someone to accept your love.You beg someone to help you do one thing or the other.Even churches beg people directly or indirectly to give their lives to Christ and Mosques beg people to follow Prophet Muhammad. Ogboni people beg people to join their cult,it's endless,and the spirit of begging is in everyone either white,black or brown skin.

Clearly wife is not giving him adequate fruit from her garden. Dear Mr man, you won't be missed!
With cornavirus speading with wanton impunity, he is one less potential carrier to worry about.

Av u tried using the toilet at the airport especially when ur about boarding, u need to see d cleaner how they disturb with begging, u will feel irritated by it..

eduman365:
The begging being perpetrated by NIS officials at MMIA is crazy. Before you leave the country, they'll beg for dollars, when you're coming back they'll beg for money...

This is why tourists and foreigners will never respect us in the country, cos the people representing us at the airports and borders are fantastically and shamelessly corrupt.

Wont solve the problem. That one child can still turn to a global beggar........like our political leaders if s/he lacks the basic orientation.

No be their fault,na poverty cause it.we told them say, nothing dey this ogba eranko (zoo),but Dem no go hear.make una enjoy una one fraudgeria in peace

salbis:
Agreed, some Nigerians begging attitudes can be annoying. But I think the exaggeration is way too much.

It is not over exaggerated. It is only because you may have lived in Nigeria for very long periods of time that you don't notice it. If you travel for sometime then come back, it will be very annoying; until you get used to it again.

GboyegaD:
It is well. I still don't understand the begging thing at the airport. I guess it is a culture that has come to stay and would need an entire reorientation to change it.

My brother,
The airport begging is constant.

Mistaicey2288:
Hmmm this is what these stupid people have reduced us to. It's really sad i must say, especially that of security officers. You need to see the way these idiots beg and harass people because of money at the Airport. The last time i was traveling, a stupid man almost stopped me from boarding my flight all because i refused to bribe him. Of which, before i even got to him, i had sorted some people already at that same Airport and he was the last one i met and i needed him ti clear me to go. It took the intervention of someone i contacted before he released me to go. Samw thin when i was returning too, you'll see the idiots asking what you brought for them from abroad. Same thing with the stupid police officers too... Last time i traveled to IB from Osogbo, on my both trips (To and Fro) the bus drivers met at least 10 checkpoints each on their ways and the drivers sorted the Police 50Naira at each checkpoint... All these nonsense are happening and nothing is being done about it.. These are the idiots that paint the country bad to the outsiders...

This is my main reason of disliking Buhari.
We shouldn't be having a president when the Police will still be allow to be collecting money from motorists on a broad day light, on Daily basis .
I never believed a President like Buhari would have tolerate all this kind of madness. And it has to stop.
Because if you really want a better Country this is one first thing you shouldn't tolerate.

Begging attitude is repulsive. If Kano state can ban almajiri, it shows how offensive the idea and practice is. Nigeria should take a cue from Germany which banned begging.

Recently I visited one African country in East Africa Just to see if they are as crude as We are in Nigeria, I was ashamed of my Nationality flagging the Nigerian Passport when from the Airport, you find Young men un-attracted to your Purse or bag but simply doing their Jobs with due diligence, I walked around the country going from place to place for my activities, I saw foreigners comfortable and relaxed, they walked about without fear of being harassed by Locals, the Locals are no threat to them

I remember Nigeria with Pain

foreigners, They have business and walk or drive about even at night, the streets were lighted
On returning to my Base, I was asked at the Airport, why did you visits?
I looked into the attendant's face who saw my profile online from the documents in his possession
I replied with shame and regret with these words, "I visited because it was an escape for me from the bribery collectors at the airport in my country"
You wont collect bribe from me for nothing as they do in Nigeria, I said

He smiled and replied,
We wont collect bribe for anything, Here it is a crime
I cringed to hear an African with dignity when i remembered the expired old men in Nigeria who build edifice with proceed of fraud


Nigeria is a dangerous place to think, and a risky place to argue

Honestly you've said it all. These people do anything they like because there's no one putting them in checks. If the Useless President had put effective measures in place to curb the shameful activities of these people, it wouldn't have gotten this bad now...

Na Lagos.
Always Lagos no disrespect but can Lagos also be referred to as the begging capital of Nigeria.
Yes it can.

my oga i agree with you some people have turned begging to their daily job,

You tipped government officers in Europe? Strange. I never have. I would probably get arrested if I tried it.

Tipping is mainly a US culture, not really European or Asian. But even in the parts of Europe where it is required, it is a service charge for lower cadre service providers like bellhops and waitresses. You already know which establishments it is expected and that it is a part of the bill so you budget accordingly. In Nigeria, they expect money even when they provide no service, and no establishment is exempt.

When the current British prime minister Boris Johnson made a report about Nigerian obsession with money, people tagged him racist, then he was a journalist. We are allergic to someone who says the truth as it is. It is a culture of obsession with money that is translating to the begging that we see in those public places, not poverty as some will say. Nigerian obsession with money is known all over the world and is now being used as an adjective to describe others who show similar trait.

we are saying the same thing. Where does birth control start from? na home na. They fork anyhow and give birth anyhow. When you think of the "go and marry crew" those ones are fan base.

Nigerians, most of them, have their selfesteem built on money. Take away money and you see a timid legion of confused species.
