MICHAEL SHOWUNMI: PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED BUT NOT RESTRICTED
You probably have seen some physically challenged persons begging along the streets, roundabouts, market places, mall entrance, church etc. It common in our country.
We feel pity to give alms to some of them.
Sometimes, people without physically disability hang around corners to ask for assistance. These ones we sometimes feel disgusted at, as their condition does not earn them the pity they crave.
