Whoever has taken a critical look at events around the country especially in and around Lagos will not but be shocked at the large number of beggars clustered in almost all the popular streets corners.

That the number of beggars mostly from other states of the federation are increasing at a very alarming rate should not surprise anyone. In a land where some states of the federation are governed by those who refuse to educate a large percentage of their people but prefer to blindfold them with pure indoctrination of accepting poverty as an act of God, there is no way such people would not litter other states of the federation with the only trade they profess.

There are stories of how some beggars are offered employment by some individuals but they stylishly declined. Yet what is the dignity in begging for living if such people are guided by proper counsel? To start with, most of them have neither attended any school nor learn any trade in the first place, and right from birth, what their parents intended for them is to engage in begging even from childhood.

Uneducated children are like poison to any society because they can easily be manipulated to carry out so many anti-social and nefarious activities. There is a major link between the handicapped and many out of school children because the former cannot move alone without the aid of the latter who take them around the streets but who ordinarily ought to be in school.

The reason is that apart from the handicapped who can be said to have an excuse to resort to begging even though there are still few of them who rather than beg prefer to engage in a trade or another, many able-bodied young boys, men and women have now taken to street begging and the number of beggars on the streets now is quite frightening.
