Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has decried the alarming rate of beggars flooding her DM.
On her Instagram page, she vented about the number of rent bills and family problems messages she has been receiving, questioning whether she grows money in her house and isn’t a citizen of the country.
Sarah pointed out the irony at which people wouldn’t engage with her business’s advert content or repost it, but would dare flood her DMs with bills.
Issuing them a warning, Martins told online beggars to stop flooding her DMs.
“Some of you even bully me for making content to make sales for my brands as if you know what it takes to create content that converts.
Pls stop already!
Shebi make I hustle finish, then pack the money, give u, make u pay your 4.5m rent, as I no get my own bills to pay, abi???
I’m even scared to open my dm because it’s filled with bills… ogini????
I can’t even remember the last time someone donated money to my NGO account, yet I cook weekly for homeless kids, and you all still do not encourage me enough because you think it’s easy to feed 150 people weekly
The last time I checked, I only cook for homeless street kids with my little monthly profits from my business as my own way of giving back to society; there was never a time I told anyone I’m a messiah that offsets bills.
Make Una leave me oooooo
Patronise me mba, engage on my advert posts mba, share my advert posts mba, repost mba, but when e reach to write essay on how u haven’t eaten in years u run enter my dm…
Wickeeeedd souls!!!!”.
Similarly, comedian I Go Save had decried the growing pandemic of beggars in Lagos. He pointed out how beggars in the Northern parts of Nigeria hold plates, while their colleagues in Lagos hold stones. The comedian called on the government to curb the growing number of beggars in Lagos.
He had decried the alarming rate of begging in public spaces in Nigeria. He noted that the country is hard; however, he believes people should calm down with the rate of begging, as everyone is facing challenges in the country.
The comedian had made similar observation last year during the festive season. I Go Save had cried out over the level of hunger in the country. He revealed that the number of people asking him for help was a record-breaker, as he admonished the public to lend a helping hand.
