I've never seen an Igbo man give money to Street beggars.

This is why most northern beggars do not like going to the East to beg because there no "market" in the east.

My question is why does these happen?
Let's have reasons, no insult please.


It's not good to generalize but why should u expect igbos to be giving alms to them when their leaders are stealing the natural resources of their land?

I am an Igbo man and I give money to beggers, you guys should spend more time thinking about your lives, than spending every minute thinking of igbos, Yorubas don't give alms to beggers instead the give to people that worship them. Hausas , Fulanis and Igbos give alms , I have never seen a Yoruba man give alms to the poor, if you are in doubt go and ask those in Lagos, during Salah instead a Yoruba neighbour will give you gift he will prefer his Igbo tenant gives him gifts during their own festivities. Stop creating topics to incite igbos.
Don't be stupid .
The idiot that created the topic is a fellow loser from your tribe .

That said , the nonsense you wrote is a lie from the pit of hell . Your brothers already corroborated the op.

Wetin concern Yorubas whether Igbo give alms or not .

Yoruba have a very sizeable Muslim population and giving alms to the poor is one of the core tenets of Islam .
You don't have to lie and scream Yoruba all the time . The op is your brother !!

I won't be this mild with you next time. Nonsense !

you're right, but this is because Igbos believe that everybody can hustle for a living no matter their conditions.

Because the beggar has two legs and two hands, the only way a beggar can't make it is if his or her two legs and hands are all cut off.

Do you know some beggars have mental health issues that prevent them from 'hustling' or being productive ? It's not always about having 2 hands and legs. Try to be sophisticated in your reasoning.

Don't celebrate govt's irresponsibility. Begging isn't a business to be proud of A responsible govt would identify those with poor mental health and send them to a rehab centre and not allow them on the streets where they could be abused or even abuse others.

The country has enough money to run some social services for the poor and stupid posts such as this validate their irresponsibility.

It is you that is stupid and inhuman. When God created you, did He say it was not your job to help your fellow man in distress?

Did He say leave it all to government?

Every Sunday you go to church to pray for riches for yourself. Is that not what you Nigerian ''christians'' do? Church for you is simply an ATM to beg God for money. Is that what your bible says worship is for? Is it not for selflessness and loving your neighbour as yourself? When last did your corrupt pastors stress such virtues?

No wonder you think it's not your job to help others in distress.

In the UK a century ago, when people starved in the streets and govt corruption was rife, private citizens came together to set up charities, and 'soup kitchens' for the poor and hungry. They didn't say ''it's the govt's job, none of our business''.

They took responsibility for their fellow citizens. Those private charities still exist today, despite the existence of govt welfare programmes for the poor.

It is your moral DUTY to help your fellow man if you can, irrespective of what the govt is doing or not doing. Get that into your little selfish skull, you hear?

Well the OP might just be a roadside Tinubu Asslicker.

The old trick. Watching there Political sophistication getting shredded to pieces day by day, they bring up senseless topics to cause more division between other ethnic groups especially against the Igbos.

If the Drug baron can't get it, then our biggest nightmare the Igbos should never enjoy any form of sympathy from other Ethnic group.

You can bet on Tinubu's balls that the street urchins bashing the Northerners are not Igbos but Owomi da Tinubu's Ass lickers.

This is purely the emotional outburst of an insecure person devoid of any sense. No where in my comment did I suggest it's wrong to assist the need, I merely opined that begging isn't a business to be proud of. Even the Bible you're so quick to reference condemns begging when it says he who doesn't work shouldn't expect to it. I'm sure even does who beg aren't proud and happy they're begging. That's my point my dear.

Again, while it's my moral duty to help the needy, it's both a moral and legal duty of the govt to support them and take them off the street to ensure they are neither abused nor abuse others. You need to check the 1999 Constitution to see what they social responsibilities of the govt are.
There are so much the govt can do for the vulnerable than leave them at the mercy of the elements. Don't encourage govt's irresponsibility, that's my point.

BTW, keep your insults to yourself.

You're a moral degenerate. Who goes around saying they are proud to be a beggar? Why are you calling it a ''business''? You just pulled that out of your asss in order to smear and discredit those who beg.

We don't need you pointing out the govt's duty. Everybody here knows the govt's duty. This thread is about private citizens, ie YOU, helping those in need, NOT GOVT, so leave GOVT out of it for once in your finger-pointing, blame-shifting life.

And please, show us where your bible condemns begging. Because from my reading of the bible,

Deuteronomy 15:11

"For the poor will never cease to be in the land; therefore I command you, saying, 'You shall freely open your hand to your brother, to your needy and poor in your land.'

Proverbs 19:17

''One who is gracious to a poor man lends to the LORD, And He will repay him for his good deed.''


Proverbs 21:13

''He who shuts his ear to the cry of the poor Will also cry himself and not be answered.''


Proverbs 22:9

''He who is generous will be blessed, For he gives some of his food to the poor.''


Proverbs 28:27

''He who gives to the poor will never want, But he who shuts his eyes will have many curses.''


Matthew 5:42

"Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.''


Luke 14:13

"But when you give a reception, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind''


Job 29:11-12

"For when the ear heard, it called me blessed, And when the eye saw, it gave witness of me, Because I delivered the poor who cried for help, And the orphan who had no helper.


Do you see any reference to government there?

Where is the condemnation of beggars you claim is in the bible?
