AJ sent lots of food - rice, beans, semolina - to Fela Shrine to be shared around few days ago. From my estimation the rice should be 10kg, beans 10kg and 2 sachets of semolina 1kg which should be around #1500, #1000 and #800 respectively in open market.

To my astonishment, most of the recipients sold the 3-combo pack #500 to a man parked few metres away.

Some companies and individuals have been sharing stuffs to alleviate people's suffering but all ends up in fights, disruption of the process and wastage of the items.

G...n lotto gave 100 bags of rice and other foodstuffs to a community, some elders connived to share only 50 bags keeping the remaining to themselves; the youths of the area have been at loggerheads with the elders and food left undistributed for over 2wks now.

Click here for Alibaba’s giveaway

The link above is another one by Ali baba, can you see the ARMED security men? Yet look at what they are doing. If the security man pushes one person in a bid to organize them, it will get to NL frontpage and people will blame the giver again, then remember Nigeria officers and their barbarism.

Oh Alibaba is not real. He is the problem, he deserves what he got.

Afonja Buhari supporters defending his thieving people. So sad

Public giveaway is nothing but scam to reasonable people who understands the concept of generosity and helping.

There's always a hidden motive behind anyone who does giveaway publicly. Quote me anywhere.

It's either for clout, to buy love, to buy loyalty, to gain favors from some persons within or a business strategy.

Behind everyone doing giveaway, there's this a friend on his/her contact list who's desperately in need of help. There's this family member, either from the mother's side or father's side who's in need and perishing looking for help.

But NO! They'll not help those needy family members, but will prefer to come to the public, chase clout with the less privileged and snap pictures or go to social media, chase clout, buy fake love to look generous.


Whatever is it, this woman experienced. I don't care, because if everyone should focus on their family members, maternal cousins and paternal siblings, there won't be needy people in the public for these clout chasers to use.

People should say no to fake public accolades from strangers who truly doesn't give a fvck about their existence and and focus on people in their family tree and people around them. They'll appreciate the more.

We always go with armed policemen to communities to avoid stuff like this.

I'm not saying she deserywhat she got. She did a good thing. But most times(emphasis on most times), it ends badly.

What you posted was a link. It's a channel. The link will not gather everybody on one page and share anything. You are attended to, individually. You will not even know who got what. That's another form of security. If you don't get, you close the page. No phones to steal, no bags to snatch, etc

Submitting your data for giveaways is a form of security from the giver

But carrying yourself to enter a crowd to share anything will most times, end badly

I don't blame her for what happened. Neither did I evaluate her actions to see if it's clout chasing or not. I'm just saying giveaways like hers are most likely to go wrong

For most Nigerians[If not all], fake accolades from strangers seems important to them than the betterment of their relatives.

izzou:
I do not believe and subscribe to giveaways anymore

If they recipients won't try to scam you, they'll be very ungrateful in the end

Look for someone in your family tree. If everyone in your family don belle full, walk downstairs to your gateman and drivers and bless their lives

What I posted is the link to Alibaba’s page. There is a video there. I am not saying you blamed her, just borrowing some words here.

Anyway, I have adopted a different model. Myself and family only. Every other person should go meet their own family. After all, everyone online is caring for their own. If that transcends offline is not any of my business.

When I was young, my mum did a giveaway. I still remember that day. She drove to a particular place in Lagos and brought out clothes and other items to give. She had money too

The way they rushed her made her abandon the items, jumped into her car and fled. She was more scared of being attacked, than the people she came for

I know giveaways are for the needy, but over here, you'll have to organize the process, organize them,... Or you would not like the outcome

Most times, it ends badly

Have u ever wondered how a sickness than can be treated with 20k will kill a man, but when it come to burial time, u will see this same man relatives lavishing money on musicians just to get public praises.

U have a serious problem
Charity begins at home. Your help must start from your family circle. There must be good relatives among your family circle, help them! Before doing public give away to show off!

Your mum should have given her family members. At least they won’t pounce her and she wouldn’t need much organization.

The worst that will happen is village people would remember her.

I don't think she ever did that again

Even if helping families are not different, one should endeavour to organize it and provide some form of security.

There is no excuse for what they did to that woman. That's just a typical Nigerian poor community attitude
