GBA-GBOS LIVE NO DUPLICATE! "Daddy, now I am more confused!"

One Saturday afternoon, Junior accompanied his father to a party.  A few minutes after they had seated, a very influential personality came in and the MC introduced him as Alhaji Bukassa, the chairman of BAN. Everyone gave him a very resounding ovation.

Junior's father told him that Alhaji Bukassa was a very rich and influential personality who had gone on Haji to the holy land thrice. He also told him that he has four wives with many children, herds of cattle and dozens of trailers which transport goods from the northern part of Nigeria to other parts.

Three months later, Junior was walking with his father, When they came to the front of a popular church, a beggar dressed in rags then stretched his hand forward requesting for arms. Junior felt pity for the poor wretched looking beggar and he took out a hundred naira from his pocket and he was about to give it to the beggar when his father objected to it.

And the following ensued between father and son.

JUNIOR: Daddy, that is wicked of you. Look at that poor beggar begging us for something to eat but you prevented me from giving him just a hundred naira.
What a man cruel man you are.

FATHER: My son, a stranger always have big eyes but can't see far enough. You and l, and your mother live in a room apartment. Your mother and I sleep on that old foam with bedbugs why you sleep on a mat on the hard floor.
But you a poor man want to give to the rich.

That man begging for arms at the gate of that church is no other person but Alhaji Bukassa the chairman of the BAN.

Junior: But daddy, I don't understand. Were you not the one who said he has four wives and many children and also that he had gone on Haji thrice? You also said he has herds of cattle and many trailers which transport goods to and from all parts of Nigeria?
Now, honestly I am confusion.

FATHER: He is the chairman of BAN which means Beggars' Association of Nigeria. He is an executive beggar!
