Anytime you are broke, over 90% of the time there will not always be somebody you can run to for help. But when you have small thing on you, rat, cockroach, millipede and even squirrel will come out from nowhere and want to borrow N5,000 or N10,000. If you say you should play Bet9ja, the small one you have they will collect it. You will NEVER win whether you forecast your games or not. Even if you think you do, it will come when you don't need it after several weeks... and how much have you lost since then? How did you now win? If you say you should do bricklayer work or service work they will say they will call you but you will wait for several months and they will NEVER call you. There is too much politics in that bricklayer work and they only give their brothers the work. If you say you should go and kidnap somebody or rob, they will burn you. If you say you should do internet scam, you are wasting your time. Because of youtube channels like Pleasant green and Cat fished, internet scam doesn't pay anyone anymore. And Nigeria is not like Europe where you have underground jobs like care for the elderly in hospitals or mail man jobs where they will pay you up to €20 in one day. If you say you should start a fundraiser online to ask for money on the internet, they have blocked Nigerians from starting fundraisers. The websites that accept Nigeria will say you need 3 supporters before you can start receiving funding for your donation. If you now say you should email all the charity foundations you know, that they should donate to your fundraiser so you can have the 3 supporters, the charity foundations won't reply your email and won't support your fundraiser either. So tomorrow imagine you have like $500 or N225,000 in your pocket and one beggar from nowhere is standing at the window of the commercial bus you entered to beg for money for God knows what, do you think such a person will give the beggar the money? The answer is no and he will pretend not to have, that times are hard. This is exactly what happens to people in cycles over and over and makes most of them that have money to be hard more and refuse to help those around them. And that is why Hushpuppi didn't help people around him because his sister died because there was no money to treat her and he suffered alot and Nigeria was not there for him so he only used to flash his wealth on instagram but wouldn't help anyone. So this is what makes begging a scam and not adulthood itself. It is Nigeria that is a scam and not adulthood itself. Adulthood is supposed to be a blessing and not a scam
