Omotola Jalade criticizes growing culture of begging in Nigeria

Veteran Nigerian actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde has criticized what she describes as an emerging culture of begging within Nigerian society. Speaking on the program ‘Activating Success With Love Idoko’, the actress expressed concern over an entitlement mentality, stating that begging should only occur in life-and-death situations.

Jalade emphasized the importance of hard work and creating value for humanity, noting that individuals should avoid becoming a nuisance. She remarked that while everyone has needs and struggles, people should strive to preserve their self-worth and dignity rather than acting as if others are obligated to provide for them.
