taken over by beggars with various forms of disabilities.\u00a0 Involved are men, women and children begging for a living.<\/p>\n<p>There is a pathetic case of a boy with a hunch back.\u00a0 At times, he is either too weak or unwilling to solicit arms which will keep him going into another day of pain and suffering.\u00a0 The irony is that wealthy ones who could offer these beggars something more reasonable are in moving vehicles.\u00a0 The poor pedestrians they encounter daily are themselves deprived and cannot do much to assist them.<\/p>\n<p>I understand some of these beggars are not Nigerians but nationals ofNigeria\u2019s Northern neighbours whose population are always in transit.\u00a0 Generally, adverse weather conditions, war and famine fuel their migration from their countries of origin.<\/p>\n<p>I call on the appropriate government ministry to intervene and classify these foreign beggars with a view to identifying their nationalities.\u00a0 Being a Muslim, the Chief Imam of Imo state, Alhaji Sheikh Dauda Anozie Onyeagocha should be mobilized towards identifying their relations or countrymen within Owerri.<\/p>\n<p>John
