A Call For Rehabilitation Of Building For Destitute And Beggars In Abia
The rate of begging in Abia State has inflated so high, such that it’s now a daily profitable business in Abia, Aba precisely.
Am not saying we shouldn’t help the less privilege, am not saying we shouldn’t show gratitude to those in need in Abia, even the bible said God loves a cheerful giver. All am saying is the rate of destitute and beggars in Abia, Aba precisely is highly on called for.
We have good leaders and God fearing governor who can stand for us and give this beggars a place. It may interest you to know that most road, street, and taxi beggars are not from Abia.
They have caused some many havoc in Abia, Aba to be precise. You cannot come down to Keke (Tricycle), taxi without little children dragging your cloth.
Demerit
These road side, Street, and taxi Beggars have brought a bad name for Abians. They stayed in the roads, have their umbrellas covered both in Sun and Rain.
The painful part is that those ones in 'Bata', 'Brass' junction etc. are more of little children. These kids are skilled in Begging, no education, no home training and no parental care when they grow up they become armed robbers, cultist, thwart disturbing and terrorizing the State.
Some are being giving birth in the Street, you will see mother’s breastfeeding their children in the road were people, and motorist are operating which is very bad to Abia.
On 25 Dec 2019 car crushed a child in front of Abia State Polytechnic (Abia poly) due to road begging and he died instantly.
If these children will put those tactics of begging into one Skill or trade, they will be somebody in future.
These people are no more road beggars they are business people skilled in begging, begging with disabled pictures, every day. Who are their sponsors a question that our government need to ask.
My Suggestion
Our Able, God fearing Governor and leaders should build a rehabilitation center, where they will be gathered, interview them, and the truth and their identity will be revealed because most of them have their own houses but still chose to beg, most of them are not beggars indeed.
Our leaders should stand up and correct that bad impression given to us by outsiders on how dirty our state is. Our leaders should check if there are people (beggars) fit to be trained and be catered for i.e. beggars from Abia who are truly beggars and send packing to those that are not.
Abia State is loved by God, Abia is Gods Own State, Abia is in God’s hands and we all know that our God is not a beggar…
God bless you
God bless the 17 local Government in Abia State
God Bless Abia
God bless Nigeria
God bless the World
