Help those you can bro..not just giving out money..help the agile ones to be able to make money,bills never end.help them start lives.help them make money..help them grow and they would stop coming around ...NB if you can...
this life is hard..some of us have it worse,some of us dont even have people to vent or tell,some of us just need a headup and we'd be fine...i wish everyone could help out at least one person and maybe some of us would live better .....

Good Nairalanders!

Don't mind my typo terminologies

I don't know if there's anyone facing these some thing..

I quit Social Media because of this.
Currently, I am not on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram (I was never on Instagram anyway).
It has increased my productivity.
And I have refused to change my Whatsapp picture for years and I dont use the "story" feature.
When people dont "see" you, they dont beg. It is that simple.

People beg a lot. And I understand that, at some point in ones life, you might have needs which may mean you have to beg others.
I understand and uderstood this.

What I dont understand is when (1) People act like they are entitled to your money or time and (2) When they ignore all the advice you have given them on how to raise their own productivity and become persons of value.
They say, "Ok" and dont do it (things I have done myself) and would prefer to beg.
Anyway, I have dealt with them my way.

Look at this one, instead of asking for the grace to become more wealthy, so big that all your friends will through your success can tap some grace.

What stops the begging friends from asking for the same grace to become wealthy themselves? Or, the begging friends are forbidden from asking for that grace? Lol.

I guess you're OK with being just an average person that's just after his stomach.

Good luck with that

And the beggars are OK with being just beggars? Laughing.

Give willingly and not under compulsion. You are not alone on this. The level of insufficient fund in peoples account is incurable due to emefule, minister of finance and buhari method of governance.

God bless you I was just about to say this. Op na people when Sabi beg pass na him they use these givers never lack punch line every single time this subject is been discussed. They have this mindset that you should always give and don't hold back.

Ever since I stopped lending a helping hand to so called supposed friends of mine, my life done they move forward.
Sometimes, folks that come begging for financial assistance dress expensively, they wear clothes I won't dare price in the market(am I mad?).

I detest people who beg all the time, cut your coat according to your size you people won't hear! What is a 30,000naira salary earner doing with a UK used iphone X worth over 200k?

Bless you too cool

do you care to know if he is helping himself? I give out money regularly but believe me, I can't remember when I bought something for myself or took myself out. This bothers me alot

he asked for people with experience and I replied. I have the experience. I once thought like this. But the thought of what I just advised him made me do more than my job. Challenges give your brain a wider scope if thoughts. Just like a bachelor doesn't know what he is capable of until he gets married and his wife births quadruplets. If he thinks he is capable and tries to expand his earnings with the intention of helping others, Allah will assist him and provide from him from places he does not expect or know about

My candid advise to you comrade.help people who are worthy of it around you according to what you are capable of.learn to decorously ignore them when it become more extreme to what you can handle.though the economy is nothing to write home about but lots of our people singlehandedly cause their predicament.they fail to plan for tomorrow by littering the country with kids.they will later be finding innocent ones to help share their unfortunate bills with.
I live roughly around $200 per month and there had been moment when all I could gather for a whole month falls bellow $100.yet i find it so hard begging for money.i prefer doing the most piteous task to earn than asking people out for money.still, people around you would see how radiant you looking on social media and will never stop asking you out.though some irrevocable calamities do visit everyone at a time in someones life.but the ones we cause on ourselves by our actions succeeded the previous.the key to debtless life is cutting coat according to someone's size.i rest my case here.

The begging is a reflection of the economy.

So many have lost jobs. It was estimated that 2 of every 5 Nigerian are either unemployed or underemployed and some say this my stats is old that the problem is much worse. The unemployment rate now stands at 33%! Before, Buhari arrived, it was about 10%.

Many have lost jobs and that's why there's mass migration out of the country

You are just like me...I have a good sense of empathy and sympathy...Iike giving anyday anytime twice on Sunday

But people are advising me to stop or reduce it that giving too much and having pity for people will slow down your success rate...that the likes of Dangote, otedola, and other millionaires at some certain point in their life were all having a heart of stone that is why they were able to succeed

I won't go against your submission because that's not my intention.
But I just want to know why Op should be the only one begging for grace and not others too, that's all.

Men one thing happened to me my grandpas kindness and that changed the whole concept of giving. It is a selfless act. Most recently mum had travelled they had just stolen my iPhone 6 that No phone no meals at home I was so hungry tired of eating just bread and tea then I prayed and asked God for a way one of my uncles came upstairs and handed me 5000 naira I used it to cook food I shared with him too

From nothing to zero since that day even if it’s 500 and you need it I will give but have gratitude and be humble because we take nothing with us. If you don’t give now while your alive they will ransack your room when you go. Bless

You should thank God you are in the position of giving and not the other way around. Or would you want to switch places with them?
Ask those begging, they wish to be in your position. So stop. Complaining.

What you should rather be doing is praying to God to sustain you in that position and increase you to a point where you'll have more than enough to give to the needy.

thank God

The rate of begging is this country is just alarming. That is why it is advisable to limit your posting online and also live in an environment that people are a little bit well to do.

When this happens I’m quick to consult my stingy friends. They tell me the beggar’s mindset is “that guy has so much money he has no idea what to do with it.” My mind immediately resets and I tell the beggar off. Funny enough, said beggar survives till the next ten years after claiming they’ll die after two days.

Shut up your mouth if you don't have any reasonable thing to say. It's good to give, but going by your narrative, people will run you to the ground because they never get tired of asking.

Even Bezos can't give all the needy money.

Everybody must not get at a time... Sometimes God dey put us in a position so that make we for take help uplift others.....If you no wor help,just tell the person plainly say you no get any help to offer........... Personally,I dey pray say make everybody get so that we no go see any thread like this......This thing just be like say you dey mock people wey dey beg you for assistance .

I kinda get his point, cos some times it gets a bit tiring. I'm also getting a bit fed up of my neighbourhood: I can barely go out for an evening walk, go jogging, or go to buy suya without someone waylaying me for assistance. I dont mind doing my bit, but at some point, it became a daily affair.
