Seun Kuti Says Giving Alms to Beggars Delays Revolution

Seun Kuti has criticised the practice of regularly giving alms to street beggars, arguing that it reduces the anger that could drive demands for change. Speaking in an interview, the musician said people facing hardship should be more outraged by Nigeria’s conditions. He claimed that occasional donations pacify them and leave them hopeful rather than mobilised for action. His comments are likely to stir debate over charity, poverty and the government’s responsibility to protect vulnerable Nigerians.
