@David, I am a fellow black man like you that understands how u feel, but I suggest we discuss this another time and see how we can help our "brothers and sisters" in Haiti please. |

I agree with Davidylan obviously - Nigeria is also in a horrible, horrible situation but this isn't the right time for that argument. |
Re: Davidylan Challenges Motivation & Usefulness of 'Relief Efforts' for Haiti by MrCrackles(m): 8:40pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
For but.t sake, this isnt about Nigeria now is it? We are talking about Haiti. . . . . |

platinumnk: Madam, some can only afford one at a time. What's your point here? We are not all Americana big wigs like you. |
Re: Davidylan Challenges Motivation & Usefulness of 'Relief Efforts' for Haiti by platinumnk(f): 8:49pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
spikedcylinder:You're seeing it from a different side, it is not what I meant. Take for instance Josh surgery- How many people[b] in 9ja [/b] actually tried to help. Please dont make me laugh. Thank you Debo. |

Pls where is Osisi? Has she gone to Haiti? |
Re: Davidylan Challenges Motivation & Usefulness of 'Relief Efforts' for Haiti by spikedcylinder: 8:53pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
platinumnk: My point exactly!!! Either you are deliberately misunderstanding my initial point or you just want to talk. I could see many volunteering and offering their finance and services on this thread yet when other pressing issues such as these come up with their own fellow Nigerians, the face the other way. Which is why I said they must need some sort of international recognition if they are willing to help now but can't help Nigerians. |
Re: Davidylan Challenges Motivation & Usefulness of 'Relief Efforts' for Haiti by Uche2nna(m): 9:02pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
spikedcylinder: Any form of help rendered to anybody (race, creed, sect etc) is still help. So because Nigerians dont help Nigerians (according to U ooooo ) is enuff reason to discourage any help going the way of people that has been hit by natural disaster? International recognition? How is texting "Haiti" to 90999 seeking international recognition? What kind of recognition do u expect to get from that? |
Re: Davidylan Challenges Motivation & Usefulness of 'Relief Efforts' for Haiti by H2O2: 9:08pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
lmao some nigerians and their myopic approach to issues |
Re: Davidylan Challenges Motivation & Usefulness of 'Relief Efforts' for Haiti by spikedcylinder: 9:08pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
Uche2nna: spikedcylinder: I assume you didn't go through the entire thread that's why you made that post. Next time, be absolutely sure you've covered your bases before making wild, baseless statements. Thank you. |
Re: Davidylan Challenges Motivation & Usefulness of 'Relief Efforts' for Haiti by platinumnk(f): 9:11pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
spikedcylinder:The majority of people on this thread lives abroad . I just checked. One cannot force one to give to another. If they feel moved to give , who are we to pronounce judgements? |
Re: Davidylan Challenges Motivation & Usefulness of 'Relief Efforts' for Haiti by Uche2nna(m): 9:14pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
spikedcylinder: I was responding SPECIFICALLY to that post. U probably need ur own advice more than I do. Next time make sure u know how much Nigerians help other Nigerians before u make ur contribution. Thanks. |

$5 is how much in naira? |
Re: Davidylan Challenges Motivation & Usefulness of 'Relief Efforts' for Haiti by MrCrackles(m): 9:17pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
H2O2:I tire. . . . |
Re: Davidylan Challenges Motivation & Usefulness of 'Relief Efforts' for Haiti by spikedcylinder: 9:18pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
Uche2nna: I've seen the responses here when it comes to helping Nigerians. Refer to the thread the Josh thread. Plat was even banned for it. You still need the advice way more than I ever will. |
Re: Davidylan Challenges Motivation & Usefulness of 'Relief Efforts' for Haiti by Uche2nna(m): 9:20pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
spikedcylinder: LOL Okay, Sis, Nothing do U. Thanks for the advice. |
Re: Davidylan Challenges Motivation & Usefulness of 'Relief Efforts' for Haiti by spikedcylinder: 9:21pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
platinumnk: I am not passing judgement on anyone. I made my observation and was willing to move on. H2O2: Aki, how much have you donated. You're here making noise. |
Re: Davidylan Challenges Motivation & Usefulness of 'Relief Efforts' for Haiti by platinumnk(f): 9:30pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
spikedcylinder: Hopefully those in Nigeria who are willing to donate will open their eyes to our own plight as well |
Re: Davidylan Challenges Motivation & Usefulness of 'Relief Efforts' for Haiti by delegiwa(m): 9:31pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
Just like everything Naija, we've succeeded in moving away from the main issue - helping Haitians, to non-issues - race, govt, naija help naija or not. Can we focus here? |
Re: Davidylan Challenges Motivation & Usefulness of 'Relief Efforts' for Haiti by asha80(m): 9:33pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
Yahoo boys will cash in on this. |
Re: Davidylan Challenges Motivation & Usefulness of 'Relief Efforts' for Haiti by platinumnk(f): 9:36pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
Mods should clean the thead. |
Re: Davidylan Challenges Motivation & Usefulness of 'Relief Efforts' for Haiti by MrCrackles(m): 9:37pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
delegiwa:Thank you. . . I pointed it out earlier. . . This shitzo is all about Haiti and the much needed help getting to them not some silly a/s/s irrelevancies and petty gobblydygooks!!! Pssf |
Re: Davidylan Challenges Motivation & Usefulness of 'Relief Efforts' for Haiti by Uche2nna(m): 9:39pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
MrCrackles: Yeah, I got a cupful of spiked advice for ma troubles |
Re: Davidylan Challenges Motivation & Usefulness of 'Relief Efforts' for Haiti by H2O2: 9:41pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
Yeah mods, please efface the divergent posts. The mission is to save lives, not apportion blames. It's no secret that Haiti is severly impoverished and those dying people need all the help they can get in the wake of this disaster. |
Re: Davidylan Challenges Motivation & Usefulness of 'Relief Efforts' for Haiti by Nobody: 9:54pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
debosky: that basically makes no sense. So we should wait until we have thousands homeless before we respond to situations? Or is it because Haiti is now on television everyone is now hyperventilating? Do you know how many have died existing on mud cake diets and were homeless BEFORE the earthquake? Do you only care for earthquake victims? How many of you could pick out Haiti on the world map last week? How many of you knew that 40% of Haiti's economy depends on foreign aid from the US? How many of you are aware that Haiti is 149th out of 182 nations on the UN HDI? You all waited until now to send aid to Haiti? This was as far back as 2008 - Starving people in Haiti eating mud But i bet you all didnt care then. The whites are now doing something about Haiti now you all pretend to care. |

davidylan: Redman44: excellent points! the only rational thinking people on this thread! leave them make dem dey let their emotions cloud their ability to see the whole picture. all of a sudden, all of dem don turn to mother theresa over night because of haiti's unfortunate but preventable catastrophic event. eyan dudu! na we be our own enemies! |
Re: Davidylan Challenges Motivation & Usefulness of 'Relief Efforts' for Haiti by platinumnk(f): 10:03pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
David- What have u done before and after the earthquake? What have you done for Nigeria? Who wouldnt know where Haiti is? Who doesnt know the plight of the refugees? So sending money is pretending to care? Where did you land this morning? Funny how the people yarning dust are the ones who fold their hands to Nigeria and every other situation. |
Re: Davidylan Challenges Motivation & Usefulness of 'Relief Efforts' for Haiti by Nobody: 10:04pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
Divinechoc: Take a look at the grammatical errors in this sentence and then come back to accuse others of "ignorance". @ topic . . . virtually ALL those who live in the US at least will be making this donations TAX DEDUCTIBLE . . . so in essence you really are not donating anything since the government will pay you back every dime when its tax time next yr. So what is the point of all these faux noise about "helping" Haiti? The US government alone is donating $100m to relief efforts . . . what will your meager $10 do? Nigeria is a billboard for daily man-made disasters . . . i guess its just easier to sit in your comfy chairs in the US dialing blah blah blah to donate to Haiti. |

Re: Davidylan Challenges Motivation & Usefulness of 'Relief Efforts' for Haiti by bawomolo(m): 10:06pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
I kinda understand what dawodu is trying to say. a city with a population of 2 million people has no excuse for not having earth moving equipment, a fire service or more than 9000 policemen. haiti has experienced disaster before so contingency plans should have been made earlier. Haiti is a corrupt country and has to answer where all the aid it gets went too? This shouldn't stop people from donating but chances are lots of donations would be embezzled or mismanaged in corrupt government style building palaces while the people go without food? the haitian "white house" was destroyed during the quake too. bulldozers are been transported from neighboring Dominican republic. |
