A video showing a woman begging on the street with her three children has stirred reactions on Twitter after another concerned woman attempted to intervene.
In the video, a lady in a black top is seen trying to move the woman with her three kids away from the road. She even attempted to take the umbrella the mother was holding, but passersby intervened and asked her to leave the woman alone.
The lady in the black top appears frustrated with the woman's continuous presence on the street, begging with her children. The video suggests that she wants to encourage the mother to find work and provide for herself and her kids instead of begging on the street.
Social media users have shared various opinions about the situation, expressing their views on whether the woman should be helped or encouraged to find alternative means of income.
See some reactions below:
@_O_N_L_I_N_E__: “Some people have made it their source of income if your very down you can be on the street for like 2 days and get some assistance but some people even have their own stand where they just stay and beg.”
@TokyosBite: “Omo I like! There’s nothing wrong with that woman, she’s young and fit (the umbrella didn’t even leave her hand. My only problem is,she having 3 babies and exposing them to starvation and mercy of the people. When they chase her away she’d go nd grab bucket nd sell pure water.”
@RobinsonGodspo1: “She’s the woman they said, they’ve helped contributed money for her several times, but she still prefers to beg.”
@shopnerrands: “Whilst I agree she should work and hustle, this isn’t the way to go about it. That woman dragging and embarrassing her isn’t helping matters. She should help her get something doing. Another thing, where will she keep her kids?”
@_FarouqOlami: “See ehn, these people full lagos but what can you do. they’ve chosen to live like this. personally i don’t give them money once i notice they aren’t handicapped. it is what it is.”
@KingPedacito: “From begging for alms , she would’ve realized enough money to start something, But one thing about begging on the streets, It’s like free and soft money to them , Once they count it and see mad profits from pity, they keep doing More begging, this is a subtle scam.”
@Acedouglas1: “I think the most important thing is people need to be educated and enlightened on having kids. 3 kids for someone that can’t even fend for herself is crazy.”
