Am sure these have churches they go every sunday, Some churches have wealth in millions of dollars while most of the members live in abject poverty, they should preach to themselves before preaching others! Yes charity begins at home.
Why Nigerians are so heartless, ungodly and so insensitive to the plight of the masses, if not why would a church need a mansion or a private jet before it can preach the gospel of god, are they worshipping money or the lord? A question needs to be answered here. Why the money won’t be invested into the lives of fellow Nigerians
Did they forget the proverb that says that an idle man is a devils workshop or “a hungry man is an angry man, if they really want to change people they should start by changing their living condition.

I was really into your story until I remembered this monicker. It was you who said you would encourage your girl child to falsely accuse any teacher if he ever flogged her. Whatever the false allegations would be.

If I'm correct that you said those on the thread about teachers on FP today, then this story of yours just lost the flavor.
To intentionally accuse on an innocent person is callous, total evil and cowardly. Here you are writing like a saint.

I'm sure all those liking your post didn't read you have the mind to conceive instigating your daughter to falsely accuse another of any innocent crime(s).

If there's something that gives me joy in life, it when I help in in my little way. Givers absolutely never lack.Life is beautiful when we help those around us . Sometimes I always winder what it will be like to have millions in my account, I may not even be happy, There remains a void in my heart when I see people living in abject poverty.

I have a true story to tell.
I happened to meet a young girl if about 12 while in school. I came home from lectures to see her moving around my hostel. I asked why she was there and she told me she needed to see one of my hostel mates who obviously is not around. From the disappointment on her face, I asked her if everything was fine.She narrated to me a story about how hungry her family was, and the fact that her mom sent her out to borrow money from my mate. I asked her to take me to her mother. It was an uncompleted building and I didn't know how somebody can live in that kind of place with grasses everywhere. I feared for snake bites as I approached the mother.I gave her quite a fairly good sum and told her not to return it . The way she thanked me sent a deep knife down my spine.I wish she never did, it made it even unbearable because it broke my heart even more As I was leaving the compound in a haste for fear of snakes, a iron rod dragged my leg,almost ripping off the last toe on my left feet.This woman and her daughter didn't know what to do, at some point, I noticed they were begin to feel bad, I had to hide the deep pains I was feeling. The blood trailed me back to the hostel. It was a deep wound and so I had to visit the hospital to take injections and dressings of course. For over a month, I limped. But I have no regrets. When i look at the scar on my last toe, I remember that sometimes we may get in trouble for trying to help somebody, but we must also remember that it's pays to have a beautiful mind, it soothes the soul.

"Slow Dance More"

Grady johnson was a common man
Four children and some bottom land
Early to bed he said well that ain't me
I gotta spend some time with my family

Left to it's own device may becomes june
But children grow up all too soon

So love your neighbor as yourself
Don't use money to measure wealth
Trust in God but lock your door
Buy low sell high and slow dance more

Mama johnson was grady's wife
She bore his children and she graced his life
Hand in hand and side by side
They worked hard to simplify

Some folks have and some have not
What really counts is what you do with what you've got

So love your neighbor as yourself
Don't use money to measure wealth
Trust in God but lock your door
Buy low sell high and slow dance more

And more I think I understan
What my father's father meant
When he said son what matters most
You can count on just one hand

So love your neighbor as yourself
Don't use money to measure wealth
Trust in God but lock your door
Buy low sell high and slow dance more

Buy low sell high and slow dance more

She feed her son with soft drinks and biscuit for 3day! Can't that money cook concorsion rice?

So much hardship in the land!

It's such a pity, some people will still prefare to go to shoprite, spar and the rest than patronize kiosk owners by the road side.

That statement leaves a lot to be imagined. If a teacher flogged your daughter, would you instigate her to lie that he raped her? Some people dey sha! And on mothers' day, everyone would tie gele.

Don't intentionally tell grave lies on another, let alone instigate a little child to do so.

If you hold no remorse that this same daughter may one day tell grave lies on you, or another child tell damaging about you, you should at least note that encouraging a child to tell grievous lie on an innocent man may irreparably damage the young mind forever.

And she may grow to gravely detest the upbringing and the upbringer...

Why form pity on poor people when you can do worse than poverty to a man's soul? Or would you say you don't know what possible extent false accusations can do to an innocent man and his innocent family?

invisibility:

When we're all busy celebrating the "hyper selfishness" of celebrities and rich Nigerians that got their money either selling nude depravity on TV or looting the treasury.


Awards and accolades and titles and even more gifts for the super rich and nobody cares to ask them what they are doing or can do that'll be beneficial to the poor masses.


Its always a case of someone that buys the latest N100 million range Rover and it makes headline as an achievement and nobody cares that a fraction of that money will feed a hungry community of the poor and impoverished for months.

how this matter take Concern church now?We are talking about Individualism here.What can I do for the person next Door?What can You Do for the person Next Door? Leave the Church out of it pls.

bettercreature:
Nigeria is not a place you can just buy things and give the needy or homeless people anyhow
It wont be long before they accuse you of using their fortune for money ritual
Not that most people are not ready to help the needy but Nigeria is complicated
Imagine giving out 50naira to the homeless man under the bridge but he later went ahead to sell your 50naira at the rate of 1000naira to those who need it for money ritual to use your fortune

all4naija:
I have always told Nigerians to depopulate to solve the problem with caring for much population you can't feed. It is very annoying that people are not smart enough to see that. I am tired of pity and hearing of emotional stories of poverty when the resources could have been used to take care of few descent human beings who wouldn't mass produce and put pressure on the environment and resources. Jeez! What is wrong with all of you?

banio:
Pls patronise those kiosk around your house. The profit of #50 means a lot to them

cococandy:

True.

One poverty stricken family will have eight kids and have the guts to be offended that government and people aren't taking care of their kids for them.

coogar:


that's not the point.

what i was trying to say is nigerians don't get good value for the millions they spend @shoprite. 90% of the products in shoprite are from 1 pound store or 1 dollar store in the west.

why waste money on such products when they can spend a fraction of that cash in the local stores? a product that isn't more than N300 in value is about N5,000 in shoprite. nigerians need deliverance.

otokx:
Choice is a part of life, if you see many of the "poor" they just be giving birth to many children with no plan for their lives.

I am for 1 child policy in Nigeria.

AfricanApple:
is it a disease or plain stupidity that makes a poverty stricken family have kids like chicken, which one?

Martiano:
and some useless men will pay OLOSHOS 20k a night without thinking how much that 20k can help a family in need.

cococandy:

How do you know this?

Shoprite is cheaper in my opinion than other super-marts in Nigeria.
Especially in food and drinks section.

And they have other good stuff too.
I don't know what people gain from slandering them like this.
Some small shops will try to even sell you expired goods just because they can't afford that loss unlike shoprite.

I know they are not indigenous but I swear by them anytime I'm in a location where I can find one.

AfricanApple:
some people knowing that the seller may gain up to 50naira is like a knife to their heart, they would rather go to the market.
