That is a state government enforcement a law against street begging. But here in the southwest, a similar law if enforced against open grazing people will begin to say it is anti fulani.

This forum is a reflection and most times an exaggeration of situations on ground. That means beggars here should catch temporary bans. I'm all for such action. I know many Nairalanders would love the suggestion too.

Don't you feel sorry for beggars? Instead of banning them, how about helping them to help themselves. Be it education or advice, it doesn't have to be money.

What is Lagos governor waiting for, too many beggars in Lagos roads, at lekki axis, obalende, falomo etc.

Wat is obiano waiting for , he should emulate gandollar

If they ban their beggars ...next thing they are on trailers..their destination??...your guess is as good as mine..
Shebi every Nigerian has right to live and do business anywhere

Why trying to stop an acceptable
cultural practice?

Almajiri is the northern equivalent
of baby factory.

Lincoln275:
They are too much here in Lagos now? Every 10 meters you must see beggars.

I swear very disgusting sometimes when they are at your window. I do not understand lagos state government right now. The whole island is a mess with beggars.

Dos foolish arewa no see dis one now,but let d south do same dats wen u go hear it unconstitutional.... hypocrite everywhere

Soon they will cut their hands in the name of sharia and send them to lagos to continue begging without hands.

AJOBI77:
Haaa! I thought anybody can do business anywhere in nigeria by virtue of the constitution?

Begging is business?

Awón beggi beggi.

Human traffickers and cartels force adults and children to beg. This is a major problem in Europe and Asia. I don't know if it's as rampant in African countries. But anything we can do to prevent it from becoming a problem is good.

Those concerned about beggars should establish shelters, orphanages, and soup kitchens. Hire people from poor areas. Allowing begging isn't a solution.

By arresting them,what are they trying to prove? Nonsense

Lagos will follow Kano very soon.we are going to send them back to the north.nobody should complain

Get ready to get a deluge of beggars in Ibadan junctions

One red cent of mine will never fall in the palms of a beggar. Giving encourages begging.

1) I donate to charity.

2) I give tips to genuine hustlers. Northerner that was hawking weaved basket. After negotiating to N500, I paid him N750

Poor guy was carrying all that load around town in the hot sun.

I have no problem with Kano state arresting beggars on the street.

Can't the Kano government treat those beggars like repentant Boko Haram members ?[/quote perhaps u should go through the thread again...

Audio arrest

Arresting people that have no home and food, whom the street is their only solace, thinking you are doing them wrong; you are only doing them good as you will be the one to now feed and cloth shelter them. They should be thanking you rather for taking away their burdens.

Elzakzaky:
Come and let us reason together. Why do northerners see street-begging as a career?

Beggtocurrency a very lucrative business..Arrewa

Fahdiga:
Since they are beggars how will they bail themselves

Senselessness is when you create poverty and still want to prevent the victim from begging for food.

I hope hausas are seeing this double standard for themselves.
Their fulani lords can arrest hausa street beggers trying to survive but can't arrest lowlive fulani terrorist herders moving cows from one place to another destroying lives and properties in the process.
