I will get straight to the point. I get messages all the time from people in Nigeria asking for money and the surprising thing is it's abled bodied men who beg. Some of them act like big boys on social media but codedly begging using every excuse to ask for money.

I wonder why they can't go and work. Ok there are no jobs but what happened to being an entrepreneur. Anyone can be a real estate agent, car sales agent, shipping/clearing agent or just learn a handwork.

I don't go on Facebook anyone because as soon as I go online, the next thing is *beep beep*, a message comes in that reads "baba every red, pls send anything I go manage am", " My dstv sub don expire, na weekend, borrow me 20k, I go pay you back on Monday ", " My pikin get asthma, abeg I need money buy inhaler", "bros pls I travel go village and spend all my money, I need funds to travel back to Lagos and many more.


Are you not seeing the poverty in the land!!?

When you hit rock bottom you will start receiving calls again.

This reminds me of a guy who said he doesn’t receive calls. Would you blame him? He was wealthy with a nice paying job. Niggar looked down on people and would never receive or return calls.

Fate dealt a blow in him and he lost everything. Dude became humbled and learnt to start flashing because he couldn’t even afford airtime.

The hardship being experienced in Nigeria now is unprecedented.

On the streets of Lagos you see mama with children soliciting for arms to eat, old men , little boys and girls are not left out.

The economic hardship is real. Those with jobs can't even cope talk less of those without job.
Investigate well before lending a helping hand though cos not all of them are genuine!

Poverty apart, most nigerians lack dignity and self-respect. We have seen a Nigerian woman in Canada begging people for money. Is their no job in Canada?

It's annoying. Economy is hard but people are surviving. The set of people don't want to work. I sent some money and weeks later they come back so I stopped giving anyone fully. There are business that require no income, just a phone with data and I'm not talking about 419. Agents in most trades don't require income yet they no see that one do, it's begging they prefer.

I rebuke and reject your hit bottom proclamation. Let's assume you meant something else.
See this guy, abi don't you know I have paid my dues? Besides who told you I am rich? I just explained how I live within my means, manage myself, cut out frivolous spending.
Are you suggesting that I give all my little change out to everyone that ask me?
On this forum years back, based on giving airtime or breakfast to 10 people, I ended up giving to over 70 despite the little I have. Who gives me? Don't you know I am a family man with kids, private university school fees to pay?
I explained that I don't pick calls, what is the reason? People call to ask for money and since I don't want to offend anyone by declining, I will not pick. Simple!
Or are you saying I should lend people money, then it turns to fight to get my money back? Last guy I gave 2 months ago told me it was till month end when he gets his salary. I told him to take from online app, dude said he hid not like them. I gave him, till today he has not mentioned he owed me not to talk of paying. He sees me and walks pass.
Abeg, I don't like your first statement!

Thanksful:


You don't need to post anything. Just live outside this country them go think say you dey pack dollars.

No offense meant. I was just trying to make a point. I am even surprised that you are a family man. I am also surprised that you don’t pick calls as a family man. You should start picking calls cos some calls could be an emergency.

I will tell you a brief story. My mom will never see a missed call and not call back. It is one of her life’s policy. Do you know why? Twice that my siblings were involved in an accident, it was a random call she got.

There was a wealthy man who claimed he doesn’t answer calls from strange numbers. What happened? His only son was involved in a ghastly accident.

A good Samaritan tried to reach him but he wouldn’t pick up. The good Samaritan decided to send a message and by the time he responded it was too late.

My mom will say: “Don’t reject a call but you’re free to reject the message behind the call”. I hope you get it now?
