Why not give them something that will make them not to come back again? a busy individual won't even have the time to go begging for handouts.
Nothing stops you from doing just that.

Mode of transportation is by back of trailer loaded together with malu, onions and malu dung. Ibadan and Akure people are disgracing the omulabis by going the northern way.
trust me those are witches and warlocks. Nobody travels 400 miles to go beg. Everything is not ordinary eye

Such practice is synonymous with Islam, even the example you gave has a coloration of Islam in it.
Have you seen people from other religions gather in front of their well to do members houses during Christmas or Traditional festivities?
There is something is Islam that encourages poverty, eg marrying many wives even when you can't cater for them, gathering at rich people's houses every Friday or every sallah to be given alms and food, sending young lads to local Islamic schools to beg for food in groups at day times(Almajiri). The list goes on...
Mr man, why don't you show us photos of northerners gathering in front of Buhari or any of their governor's houses. Keep your dirty lame lies in your pocket and move on.

"Beyond his neighbours, there is something about the sight of people hanging around a president’s residence that does not speak well of his leadership capabilities. Maybe no one has nudged him to see it, but the impression that spectacle on Bourdillon Road generates is that Tinubu enjoys the sight of suffering humans and thrives in—and through— their poverty".

Tinubu is a desaster.

If you want to address the issue of people lining up in front of Tinubu's house, address it. What concerns Muslims with this? Or did the author go around asking the people lining up whether they are Muslims or otherwise? He started well but that part where he tried attributing it to Islam is wrong.

People line up in front of politician houses every year. Growing up in Lagos back then, area boys used to come to my dad's house to collect their sallah money and they would always create a big scene until our dad settled them 😁 Such behavior is not unusual and has nothing to do with religion.
it is an islamic thing.

I see you for the hypocrite that you are, after castigating him for mentioning Muslims you still went ahead and said your father pays those that comes to collect sallah money, the last time I checked sallah is a Muslim thing and have everything to do with religion.

professor of witchcraft, are you telling me that you cant answer simple questions based on your claim of wealth transfer by witches and wizards at tinubus gate?

cant you give me a figure of how much of tinubus wealth they have transferred to themselves?

These Bourdillion beggars are Tinubu's political tool if he dares settle them once and for all his political relevance could fade into oblivion.The way to keep them at his beck and call is to keep handing out meagre and fleeting relief-keep- them-coming strategy for political advantage is the name of the gane.

Your juju has to be stronger than his for it to work. So am sure most of these people their juju requests get deactivated by higher forces. But I am sure there have been one or two successful strong juju that bypassed his and the guys were able to siphon some wealth and power
how much of tinubus wealth and power have these "beggars" been able to siphon for themselves?

did you witness the siphoning?
Re: The Eyesore On Bourdillon Road - Abimbola Adelakun by SURElee(f): 8:52am On Jan 02, 2025
This reminds me of how beggars and aged parents trek to or transport themselves to the saraki's house in Ilorin just to be given one cooked wrap of semovita after sitting in the sun for hours.
mschewww!
Like, who do us this kind thing?
which sane child allows their parents to go through such stress and humiliation?
God!

the people who run the whole world DO NOT look for respectable and responsible people to make leaders.
They look specifically for the worst of the worst degenerates who will be easy to control , so that by the time thier faces are common place and on news paper front page everyday , you best know what you looking at.

In Europe and or USA, there is hardly a single national leader who is not homosexual or paedophile, And its this same types that select who will be the next African tribulator , so much so they have established a pattern of selecting African leaders from European or american prisons.

As one person commented on youtube , you will hardly find anybody who went o a good school or had successful career anywhere near the top of Nigerian government , they avoid such people.

For all you know its a degenerate fetish pleasure to have lots of poor people worse of than you queening outside your house every new year.

There is an ex UK prime minister i think Edward Heath from the late 70's who was later accused of having sex with young boys and killing them after, Tony Blair a later pm was previously arrested when he was young man for looking for gay sex in public toilet.

IN short you have to be a very rotten apple to make it to the top of the beast system, the type of person who will derive pleasure from seeing poverty lining up outside your house every year.

These are the type of people that make it to become CEO too.

Its a horror movie, not a normal world, dont forget those who run the world called European are actually Goths
The Goths gave the world Horror movie as a form of entertainment.

As such youre wasting your time trying to map common sense to thier actions.

So that the best way to let the world know that you are a degenerate is to become a leader of almost anything important in the world.
This takes the lead in warp sense of thinking concerning world leadership structure.

Your historical analysis using the Goth, Edward Heath and whatever, and their gory past to generalise the choice of the worst set of human beings as leaders of nation must be a scenario out of the theatre of the absurd.

With this are you saying Cyrus, the good Persian leader who granted Israel liberty in his days, or Abraham Lincoln or Nelson Mandela were gays or serial killers before they were chosen as national leaders? That is highly preposterous.

As a Muslim, Tinubu believes that is part his zakat.

Alms giving has become part of our society especially when it involves our people from the North.

Even if he organizes them, they will still find a way to circumvent the motive, I believe he is used to them hanging around for a day or two after when they all disappear to reappear when it’s time to converge again🤣

No matter what you give those guys they will come back to the street
I swear. There are people with that mindset, and there is very little you can do about it. I run a small charity foundation, and we help widows and single mothers. You can't keep helping same person over and over, because there are many people to help. But what I have noticed is that, some people just have that mentality that someone must always give them money and alms, even though they can work to get themselves out of whatever situation they are in. Any small problem they have, that can be easily solved by them will be ignored. Instead, they will wait till they see you again, to ask you to help them out of the problem.

Once you give them money once, or help them out of a problem once, they will turn you to their mini god, and always want you to keep giving them money forever.

But this write up was very explicit.
Which part do u not understand?

Open a charity centre, whenever u sed them around your gate, redirect them to the charity centre.
Do it 2 to 3 times and they will stop coming to ur gate
Simple

Begging is not synonymous to Nigeria alone there are beggars all over the world and every religion especially monotheistic ones encourage taking care of beggars while must U be attributing it to Islam alone? And why is the blame on the person that is helping the beggars? While not telling those queuing up to ask for peanut to think of there dignity and humanism first before lining up for hours to collect peasant.
In Nigeria everybody thinks they have opinion... If a rich fellow refuses to give alms he would be tag as being a miser if he also gives he will be tagged as loving to see
people poor, what exactly can U do to satisfy the black man.....

"Rather than having them line up on the streets just so they can be handed a pittance after they have been deemed to have suffered enough, why not establish proper feeding centres in several zones in Lagos, where people can show up at scheduled times to pick whatever welfare items you want to give them? Philanthropy should not require that people be debased before they are fed."

Suffer them and handout peanuts to them.

This is what their supporters want. They prefer to wallow in penury and despair as long as the people they support steal and loot the collective wealth.

Don't pretend that this 'religion' of giving is not a core tent of Islam.

Who are the majority of beggars and why?
Re: The Eyesore On Bourdillon Road - Abimbola Adelakun by Elusive001: 9:02am On Jan 02, 2025
"To be clear, Bourdillon Road is not unique in this respect. I grew up in Ibadan, Oyo State, and the sight of economically challenged people assembling in front of the house of well-to-do Muslims to beg for alms is not exactly rare. If you mingle with them, you will marvel at the complexity of the poverty that will make someone travel—as they claim—a considerable distance to beg. You will be surprised at the distance some of those who resume at Bourdillon have travelled just to fritter away time while expecting the man—or any of his affluent visitors—to extend them some handouts.

People like that come expecting to be given alms because their shared religion with the benefactor stipulates that moneyed people must transfer some income to the poor to maintain the munificence of providence. That explains why wherever you have Islam and poverty, you are guaranteed a nuisance of beggars. That is also why I think FCT Minister Nyesom Wike was wasting time when he started haranguing beggars in the nation’s capital. When religion validates panhandling, you cannot do away with the social tradition it engenders by making a noise. Rich and well-organised Islamic countries do not have this problem for self-evident reasons."

Why won't he attract beggars when he's the one who beggared most of them?

His policies got the majority of them started in their begging careers.
As much as I am anti- Tinubu, nope!

It is not his policies that started their begging careers.

For some of them, it is a religious obligation they expect their 'rich brothers & sisters' to perform.
