tomakint: Of course no effort can bring back the dead, but the largese will still soothe some hard feelings away! That is a good one from the respective donors to the bereaved

victorD3: How on earth did southern Nigerians got stuck with this devilish Northerners?!

vicope: The same Dangote that lavished a whooping N130 million on the Super Eagles is donating a mere N500,000 each to the families of people who were slain in the course of carrying out a more beneficial assignment for their country?

supereagle: Nigeria gives $6,700 each to families of 9 slain health workers

Nigeria’s Minister of State for Health, Dr Ali Pate, said at the presentation of the cheques to the governor of Kano State, Mallam Rabiu Kwankwaso, on Thursday in Kano, that the government was giving N200, 000 (about US$1300) to each of the two survivors of the attack.

Pate, who said that the Nigerian government had already commiserated with the families of the victims, added that the money was not compensation, but assistance to the families of the slain officials.

Receiving the donation on behalf of the state governor, the Deputy Governor, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, commended the gesture of the Nigerian federal government.

He said that the money would be given to the families of the deceased.

Gaduje said that the State Government had already donated N500, 000 (about US$3,500) to each of the bereaved families, while N250, 000 (about US$1,600) was given to the survivors.

He also commended Dangote and Bill and Melinda Gate Foundations for supporting the families of the victims with N500, 000 each (about US$3,500).

Gbam!!!

vicope:
Initially, when I started reading your post, I had hoped that it will make sense, but every word you wrote further exposed how myopic ur brain is (no offence intended)!
If Dangote no be charity organization nko? Haven't U heard of CSR? Someone like you obviously celebrates mediocrity! We have MTN Nigeria that is not an Indigenous company, yet they are corporately decent enough to channel a lot of their profit on helping sick people, sponsoring poor children's education amongst other worthy cause through their MTN foundation. I guess the CSR of Glo and Dangote is to 'further enrich the rich'!
And please STFU, what do u even know about Dangote's wealth? And u open ur big mouth to ask 'is it not his money'?
It is u who musn't comment on every post U see, coz obviously ur IQ is just about 5%. Am I not generous?

This is just pathetic U want cheap compensation for ur loved ones, just present urself in the

North and get slain. Then the compensation will start pouring-in. DARN! Then what happens to the zombies

that committed these murders?

Symphony007: I'm glad the government was sensible enough to do this for the farmilies of nigerians who died serving the country..and God will continue to bless bill and melina gates for such a big heart that they help farmilies half way around the world from them while the home based billionares in the country spend their money on ghastly footballers.

taharqa: The money given to these slain workers by d FG is just too small in my view. Why wud the money d State Govt gave be higher than d FG's. Its about time people start going to courts to seek Real damages from Govt or oda bodies in dis country once they feel they hv bn severely wronged.... RIP to those innocent women who were murdered, and God's peace to their families....

Gombs:

Mtn channel 'A LOT OF THEIR PROFIT ON HELPING THE SICK...'(Are u a learner?)For example, Of all d bombings in 9ja,aw many times have mtn given monies or material tins to aid d wounded or dead victims' family?

Aw many times av u seen or heard (even in rumour) dat MTN sponsored just 10 poor (rural) children's education?

But Dangote/Adenuga are philanthropists and can throw their monies wherever pleases them.
remember the flood victims?google aw much dangote gave. But he's not under any obligation to give aid.

Let me edify you. CSR is a process with the aim to embrace responsibility for the company's actions and encourage a positive impact through its activities on the environment, consumers, employees, communities, stakeholders and all other members of the public sphere who may also be considered as stakeholders. (Wikipedia,2012)

Now,pls frm d above definition of CSR,how is MTN's CSR suppose to give footballers,killed health workers,etc with their 'MTN foundation'?

So na CSR dangote do for super eagles and health workers?
Na CSR adenuga do for super eagles shey?
First bank no dey do CSR? Chevron nko? Aw comes dem neva eva give N500 to super eagles n killed health workers?

Since I dnt knw nothing abt dangote's wealth, I suppose u r his banker/finiancial auditor/Sabi-Sabi?

Na ur money before?

My IQ is less dan 5percent, it may be true,or not...Nairalanders are smart enof to judge that.

The bolded is just unbelievable
I'm sorry for upsetting u n ur post,I meant well sha.

On Dangote's donation for the flood victims, please what would you expect from the Co-Chairman, Presidential Committee on Flood Relief and Rehabilitation? Do you think he was appointed there for sake of formalities? Precise, MTN also donated to the flood victims.

CSR is a process with the aim to embrace responsibility for the company's actions and ENCOURAGE A POSITIVE IMPACT through its activities on the environment, consumers, employees, communities, stakeholders and all other members of the public sphere who may also be considered as stakeholders. (Wikipedia,2012)

Do you really understand the phrase 'ENCOURAGE A POSITIVE IMPACT'? I bet u don't, else you won't be asking 'Now,pls frm d above definition of CSR,how is MTN's CSR suppose to give footballers,killed health workers,etc with their 'MTN foundation'? So na CSR dangote do for super eagles and health workers?
Na CSR adenuga do for super eagles shey?
First bank no dey do CSR? Chevron nko? Aw comes dem neva eva give N500 to super eagles n killed health workers?'

You need to google Corporate Social Responsibility and read thoroughly every article you find about it, instead of quoting a one-sided definition of CSR from Wikipedia.

About Dangote's wealth, do you need an oracle to mention to you that there are many-a-investor in his business?

I seriously understand that you really can't comprehend my argument, but I cannot fathom why you won't just shut up! And if you're in any way thinking I have an interest in MTN, then the 5% I aportioned to you as the level of ur IQ (out of my generosity though) is way too much!
