This sense of entitlement is a greater reflection of the society we are in. When i was a contract staff in MTN some years ago my colleague came complaining that she will never give any beggar money again. She was accosted by a woman who desperately needed money out of compassion she gave the lady 500 naira only for the woman to reject the money that it is too small for her.
This sense of entitlement is the reason why we have all these ills and corruption at an all time high. You will have friends you grow up with and all of a sudden you get a good job and they start forming beef with you and silently praying for your downfall because in their minds you are not dropping daily money for beer they want to enjoy what you are enjoying rather than working hard for theirs since they feel they are entitled to enjoy from you.

Many beggars make more money in a month than some people that will wear tie and nearly suffocate . you will be shocked the daily take home pay of these baggars, to many of them its a profession.

Believe me, the beggar is a perfect representative of an average poor Nigerian. They feel so entitled to others people money that it makes you wonder at times if your ancestors probably lent money from their ancestors.

I will always remember an experience I had with a beggar in Lagos. He was a very small boy, around 10 or so.

I had some change with me when the beggar came to me. I had some 20, 50 and 100 naira notes in my hand. So, I gave the beggar 20 naira but he was saying "No broda, give me fifty." I laughed and told him I could only give him 20 naira as I was not a rich man myself. The beggar became angry and insisted. I told him to run along. This boy kept following me. I got angry and told him to get out. This boy saw a broken windscreen on the ground and took a piece of glass and threatened to stab me. It was not small drama that day. I had to pick up my own piece of glass and threaten him too before this small boy backed off.

EmagNig:
A Lagos beggar has surprised his helper after he refused to accept sachet water from him, and insisted on getting bottled water.

Facebook user identified as Martin Beck Nworah who took to the platform shared the experience he had with the Lagos beggar and then used the medium to enlighten people on having a sense of entitlement to what does not even belong to them.

His post reads ;

Two things made me snap this picture on Saturday at Obalende.
I was waiting for my partner to link up for our Lekki movement to gather interviews for Tales Of Nigerians when the guy in this picture came to stand beside me.

The woman who dropped that bowel of beverages ran around to sell to people and run back. So I kept an eye over her wares while waiting for my partner to arrive.

This guy spoke in Yoruba (I understand better Yoruba now) and was begging the woman to give him water to drink. She told him to go across the road and collect a free “pure water” in the normal sachet. But he didn’t want to go, he wanted the plastic water. So he kept nagging.

He stood there and saw the woman running around, yet he didn’t extend a hand to help her. He kept on complaining how she doesn’t want to help him. I asked him if he had any deformity or issues and he said no. I told him to go across the street and collect the pure water as the woman told him but he said no.

He looked really battered from his looks, more like a street guy. When the woman got tired of the guy standing there, she ran across the street to get the water and give it to the guy.

Clearly, from the little exchange we had there, this poor guy needed help. He wanted water. But he was a beggar with a strong sense of entitlement. I really don’t know where that came from.

Oh, after getting the water, he started asking for a drink…LOL.

But I think I understand something about being poor, because it is a background I can relate with.
Many times, we feel everybody else owes us something. We blame everyone else for our shortcomings and bad lucks because they are the witches and wizards stopping our shine. But bring a little task and they won’t do it. They will easily get tired and lazy around.

This guy is just a reflection of what our larger society is gradually becoming, where people hide behind their keypads to pass judgment and wield strong feelings of entitlement for reasons best known to them.
He could’ve elected to help this woman look after her drinks but he didn’t. He could’ve gone across the road to collect the water but he didn’t.

Well, as the son of Nebu, there are few things I can publicly complain about. Nobody owes me anything to make my life awesome. It is my responsibility and when I find kind-hearted people who support me, I am deeply grateful to the universe.

Till we get to the Promised Land, I shall be waiting for when you will pass me a glass of water and thank God for the gift of grace for the race.
