“Social Media Beggars Outnumber Street Beggars in Nigeria,” Says Isaac Fayose


Former governor and social commentator Isaac Fayose has drawn attention to a growing trend in Nigeria, claiming that “the beggars we have on social media are now more than the beggars on the streets.”

Fayose insisted that the rise of online solicitation and digital begging reflects changing societal behaviors, where individuals leverage social media platforms for personal gain rather than seeking productive means of income.

He urged Nigerians to exercise caution and discernment, warning that many online fund requests may not be genuine, and called for greater responsibility among social media users.

The statement has sparked discussions across platforms, with many debating the ethics of online begging and the role of social media in modern Nigerian society.
