The day I saw a beggar and his wheel pusher counting the money they made in a day, around one corner of my street, that was the day I knew I wasn't going to give my money to all these beggars again.

Like these people are fucking rich! They are making a whole lot of money from..
..just begging around. In fact, an amount of money street beggars make in a day, most people that work their asses out may not make it in a week. It's fvcking crazy mehn!
I know some people might want to say "but they are physically challenged nao; it only make sense we help them since they can't work!"

Nonsense!!

Being physically challenged does not take away their reasoning. And if God has given them the brain, they should use it to work.
There are always something this beggars can choose to do,if they are really ready to do something. But you know what? They won't do it. They are happy begging around, and playing on people's emotion to be fed.That is sheer fraud.That to me is a sign of laziness.They're just LAZY!
Think about it, do you see beggars using the money they collect around to establish themselves? Do they stop begging after you give them money? No. We all know that's not gonna happen;even if a beggar brings home 100k today, s/he's still going back on the street the following day
And if you are one of those that believe giving money to beggars is necessary because of the prayers you receive from them in return, you are only deceiving yourself. No amount of their prayers will make any effect on you. Why? Because they are not the NEEDY.
Only the prayer of a needy man or woman is effective. The needy are the ones who really need and deserve the money you give them; beggars are street dizzy body noisemakers, profiting from what they don't deserve.
The girl or boy in the scourging sun selling sachet water on the street from money till evening for a gain of 200# is a needy. If you give someone like that a thousand naira and he or she prays for you, it will come to pass.
A patient in distress and pain who can not afford the amount he's been charged for his or her treatment is a needy, you can't pay for such person's treatment and not receive a blessing in return, with or without their prayers.
There are people dying of hunger. Others needing money to finance their business. Some others needing clothes and foodstuffs in schools, prisons, motherless homes, etc. These are the needy. These are those we should be sacrificing to give to, not the street noisemakers.
Bottom line is I'm not really happy with the way we dash out money to beggars, whereas we are not doing that to those who are labouring but still can't feed themselves.

As for me sha o, I would rather give my money to that impoverish girl that hawks around, than a beggar.
