Don’t just help any poor person, some can kill you prematurely – David Osei advises

Ghanaian actor Prince Davids Osei has advised people to be extra careful about how they go about gifting money to poor people.

The award-winning filmmaker said not everyone who claims to be a beggar is really poor.

In a tweet sighted by Modernghana News, David Osei explained that some of these so-called beggars can harm the givers.

He emphasised that some of them can even kill the people who genuinely opted to help before their time, so people need to be extra careful and apply wisdom to their philanthropic deeds.

"Not every poor person deserves your help!! Be careful out there, before they kill you before your time!! #wisdom," he tweeted.

His assertion comes at a time when many people with a good heart who want to give find it difficult to do so because of the alleged instances that some of the beggars are agents of devil who are out to destroy people.

Other schools of thought even have it that most of the foreigners begging on the streets are doing so to raise money to sponsor terrorism operations and groups.
