Wicked ‘sympathizers’ package poisonous snakes, faeces as gifts for blind beggars in Niger
On many occasions, many blind men and women received gifts from the anonymous donors that left them in tears and regret. Many of them said they received such harmful gifts as snakes, sharp needles and charms from donors who they could not of course recognize because they are blind.
The Chairman of the Niger State Chapter of the Blind Association of Nigeria, Alhaji Rabius Abdullahi, said that they had been handed dangerous items because of their lack of sight. “Those who have eyes are better than us, capitalized on our handicap and have been handing us very dangerous and killer items such as snakes, sharp objects that injure us and many other things we cannot describe”.
The good thing about it is that none of those who received these strange , dangerous gift, were bitten or came to any harm. Only God knows the motives behind such gifts.
“Just three days ago, somebody brought one measure of Guinea corn as a gift to me in this my office and i gladly received it with thanks . But as one of my wives was trying to turn it into a bowl, bad odour oozed out of the nylon, that was when we discovered human faeces wrapped with the grains with maggots coming out of the nylon, we ended up throwing the ‘gift’ into a dustbin.
“These are the dangers we face almost on daily basis. Unfortunately, there is no way we can trace those who give us such ‘killer gifts’ except Allah exposes them. We don’t rain curses on such people knowing fully well that Allah will personally take care of them on our behalf, especially since we are never harmed.
