The state government owes them their welfare so Baba Sanwolu provide for them and not arrest.

After incapacitating themselves with their Islamic laws and knowledge, they will now shift their burden to secular south, and they will still be claiming right..

This is so annoying.

Lol, why southerners give these people money beats me. One yeye idiot said the other time that begging was their culture.

Dear Southerners stop giving people who feel they are entitled to your money,let them starve on the streets if they want to or let them follow tomatos lorry back to their various states to continue their begging culture there.


The day I saw a Hausa woman beggar eating food I cannot afford with two meat and pure water is the day I stopped giving these beggars money,to think all her kids were there too hustling and holding people's clothes to beg for money made it even more disgusting.


Lolzzzzz this lady would not kill person grin

So they were buying tricycles,bikes from the proceeds of begging but some were still begging, and this also confirms that most of the Keke and okada riders were from the north(possibly not even Nigerians) there truly is a serious security risk, I noticed I am starting to see northerners selling gala in traffic and working at car washes....interesting times

Instead of being a beggar they are so many micro jobs to do online and make some bucks, your mates are doing it and no tax is involved, you can do it too. But then patronize my hustle buy YouTube views and Instagram followers at affordable rates contact o7o69636946

They are beggars because they have been failed by society and government.

The Beggars Strike....
Re: Beggars In Lagos Protest Against Harrassment, Block Goverment Offices by friday2011(m): 6:07pm On Feb 25, 2020
Mediarero:
Over 1,000 beggars on Tuesday blocked the entrance of the Lagos State House of Assembly and the Governor’s Office to protest undue harassment and arrest by officials of the state government.

The beggars, who came in over 10 buses and seven tricycles barricaded the entrance to the Assembly and demanded that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu addressed them, saying that they would sleep on the road if the governor did not come out.

Despite plea by government officials telling them that the governor was not around, they refused to bend and vowed to remain there until they were seen by the governor.

The protesters were armed with placards, some of which read: “Enough is enough, stop the persecution of people with disabilities,” “Save the waterfront, enforced conviction, we demand justice,”If you don’t want to see us begging on the streets, give us skills and empowerment,” “Seeing beggars all over our streets and roads is the failure of the system” and “We are tired of running without legs or eyes, give us skills and empowerment.”

The beggars were chanting ‘Allahu Akbar’ intermittently and dared the police to harass them.



A cross section of the protesters

Spokesperson of the beggars and Coordinator, Physically Challenged Empowerment Initiatives, PCEI, Mohammed Zanna, said in 2017, they protested in Alausa and refused to leave, but that many of them were arrested and taken to Majidun, which he described as a prison where they were ill-treated and manhandled by government officials.

He said without making provision, government would make laws to arrest the beggars and dumped them at Majidun, as some of them had died in the hospital and in detention.

According to him, some of the beggars had been able to purchase tricycles to do their businesses, but that now that the government had banned them, their situation had been made difficult, saying that people were now trekking from bus stops to their destinations and that some of the physically challenged among them did not have means of transportation

They should go back to there states and do the protest in government house, as for the seized keke, where you not given enough notice before the ban....? Those behind this protest should be arrested immediately. Nonsense.
