So you are telling us that someone earning 50k a month cannot save some amount of money for rainy days? Look for another story talk. Dis one na outdated story.

A pleader, one who pleads.
To plead...to beg,...

pmoye:
I tire o!
I know some people that will soon attack the Op over this. People who consider the right to beg as their inalienable and fundamental human right.

By the way, it isn't just those who come out on SM to beg, it is virtually everywhere.

The police stops you on the road and beg. The Road Safety the same. Even soldiers don join them now. Children, fathers, mothers, pastors, imam... It is every where. Yes, it has become a culture. And it is no longer peculiar to Abokis. Everyone now does it.

If you have every landed in Nigeria from a foreign flight, you will simply be ashamed at how airport officers (fully employed by the way!) go dey beg you for dollars.
The worst part of it is you show the remotest interest in a girl and immediately she tries turning you into ATM. This is troubling-ly common on Nairaland these days. Hardly will you be able to have a decent conversation with a girl and you won't wake up one day to her request for cash.

We shouldn't explain this away as a consequence of poor economy. It is simply lack of home training, greed, and a nasty sense of entitlement that others are meant to be responsible for your life. The only sustainable response to harsh economic realities is hard work and smart investment. How many of those begging for money have cared to venture into a line of work they don't like? There is no year I spend a couple of months in Nigeria that I will not talk people into lending me their land to farm. Even as a terribly poor undergraduate student I farmed from my first year to the fvcking final year. That and smart investment have been my only response to poverty.

No one should come out and start blaming economic hardship. It is simply lack of proper home training. Unfortunately, some of the parents are even worse than the children, and what you don't have you cannot give. As poor as my parents were, dem no born you well to come to the house with something that belongs to someone else. They would almost kill you. But these days we have parents who also engage in the shameful career of begging.

Why do Nigerians beg alot ? In all social media handles Nigerians like begging, if a celebrity should post anything and there are 2000 comments ,1700 of the comments would be of people pasting their account numbers.

Why do Nigerians feel entitled to someone's money. Even nairaland is not left out, account numbers are almost everywhere on nairaland.

Some were even asking S.eun for giveaway like they are entitled to his money.

Why do some Nigerians feel like they are entitled to a rich/well to do person's money?

Funny enough it is, the average Nigerian is not promised the next meal. Do you know what it means not to be able to afford a meal. If the basic needs of life were to be taken care of by the govt then most Nigerians won't have to beg. In a case where your work is only able to get you food, how do you expect to take care of Shelter and clothing if you dont beg.

Continue your begging career! Keep waiting for government to take care of your basic needs.

I paid my houserent in december 19, just came out of January spending, February Valentine spending and I'm still expecting my March salary by 1st week of April...which is yet to be paid.
You see how broke one can find himself even with the big 50k.

Check my profile. I created my account in 2008. That's almost 12 years now! I was already paying fees for my younger ones even as at then. I don't know what year you were born but I'm very sure that if they subtract your age from mine, what is left will still be more than a dozen!

When you tell poor people to have less children, they would tell you God will provide and go on having lots of kids.

Most of the nairalanders begging here on this site and on musicians and celebrity social media sites are Southerners.

North too has a begging culture. But the South isn't far behind
