Beggibeggi

We all can learn a lesson or two from kids.
A Naija kid takes us down memory lane. Do extract the vital lesson.
"You remember all dose beggibeggi uncus dat don't use to buy sometin for somebody when dey come to visit us. Mscheww!! Everytime, everytime dat is how dey'll come an finish d food in your house...you know now.. Den dose beggibeggi friens in sku. When you are licking sweet dat is how deir eyes will come an gum  to your sweet sef. Mscheww! Rubbish! It is beggibeggi people dat gbomogbomo use to catch o!I yam de one dat sent dem to beg? Ehn?! I yam de one? (S'posedly "Am I the one?")
My mummy said dat it is not good to be begging. And dat we shood work hard an be satisfied wit what we have. Don't be a beggibeggi."
A lesson from a Naija kid (lol!). Begging has become the first and in certain cases, final resort for many people. Maintaining a consumer disposition, these ones have ruled out their capacity to make meaningful and productive contribution to society. Harsh seasons would come but, try as much as possible not to take the beggarly route; rather, put pressure on your productive faculties. Shun begging both as a character flaw and a lifestyle. Naija children don't like "beggibeggi".  They too dey minister.
