The only thing that would have made this story complete would be the names of the seller and middlemen. If you don't arrest and prosecute people wont see it as a crime.



On another note:

Though if it was given to a poor man he can choose to sell it for money to make ends meet.

Eod. That is it.

If it was a case of individuals selling it, it wouldn't flood the market to the extent of being everywhere.

Who cares! Mtweeeeeeee

This is how the north in executive and legislative are stealing Biafra and Niger delta oil revenues.

Just as how minister of agriculture planning to divert food that isn't enough for staving Nigerians to other countries in the name of "exporting".



Check the lists of taxpayers funds diverters/looters the topped all the lists.

MANAGING CHARITY: BETWEEN NIGERIA & SAUDI
Three times I had wanted to Facebook about this in the last 9 months (including 3 days ago), three times I had called it off,
principally to avoid the risk of showing off what was meant to be a private spiritual journey.
But a piece of news in Premium Times this morning has provided the fillip to chest out this.
The news: 200 tonnes of date fruits donated by Saudi to Nigerian Muslims via the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs found its way
into Nigerian markets (i.e some people cornered it and started selling it). Google "Nigerian government to investigate how Saudi date
fruit found its way to Nigerian markets - Premium Times" for full story. Don't want to put link here to maximize exposure of this
post.
This confirmed my thought, which I actually said out to a couple of fellow Nigerian pilgrims around me, in my 2016 Saudi visit, that if
these many free gifts we were being given here, were handled by Nigerians in Nigeria, 70 percent of them will never get to the target
and end up in private pockets or some people diverting it to their warehouses/shops for commercial gain.
In Saudi, in your 5 hour bus journey from Madina to Makkah, there are at least 2 points your bus will stop and all pilgrims are spoiled
with free packed foods, drinks, and other gifts. It was so organised. These gift points are designed like filling stations - your bus just
turns in offbthe highway, parks, bus coordinator tells the distributors number of pilgrims in his bus (up to 50 per bus), cartons of gifts
dropped into the bus for distribution among pilgrims in transit, and the bus zooms away for the next one. And the buses transport at
least 2 million pilgrims at peak (hajj) period. The gifts are rich, and never finish.
I told the friend sitting beside me in our bus: if these were Nigeria, half of what's in this pack will not reach us. The people
coordinating these activities would be millionaires by now.
There are other charitable activities for pilgrims - well organized programme of free foods, drinks and other edibles (sponsored by
government and some anonymous rich men) for their guests (pilgrims) on way from mosques (in Makkah in particular, but in Madina
too) everyday in at least 3 of the 5 daily prayer times.
I always say to myself, a charitable structure of this scale can never be this perfect in Nigeria. Diversion galore by the people in
charge.
My thought came to past when I read this news from PT today that a fruit gift from Saudi to Nigerian Muslims was diverted for
commercial purpose by Nigerians when it reached Nigeria.
Not surprised, if Nigerians could loot IDP relief materials, how much more gifts.
PS: Date fruit (called dabinu) is a fruit that is grown majorly in the Middle East and highly recommended (but not compulsory) in
Islamic tradition to use to break fast. Saudi sends tonnes of it to Nigeria (and other countries) for free disyribution to Muslims during
Ramadan fast. Nigerian "consignment" diverted for commercial purpose to the dismay of the donor. See PT news.

I am sure the thieves who diverted the goods will also claim to be fasting. You claim fasting is holy month yet diverting food given freely just because you want to make money. The country just keeps getting a terrible image everyday. Imagine the news going round the world. How do.you expect people not to see us as animals. That's why I still don't trust some of these Northern elders. These boko haram rubbish and IDP camp might just be an evil way for them to make more money.

Wickedness across religious & ethnic divide

When i came across the story 3days ago

I know Africans only prove to be religious

We are all fake

Only God Almighty knows who is worshiping him in truth and in spirit

IDP camps, Boko Haram, Sharia Criminal Codes in far north - interconnected.

Worse wickedness that brought all these is we understood that the differences in value systems that divide the three major ethnic groups in Nigeria can never be bridged, yet we force one Nigeria upon us and unwilling others.


Truth: 1,
Boko Haram couldn't have come up in Nigeria if the 12 northern states had not adopted Sharia criminal codes.
2; Boko Haram violence coupled with unfriendly environment of Sharia criminal laws in far north caused mass exodus of southern Nigerians once living in the north.

3; It's not possible to continue to have one Nigeria where people from the South cannot comfortably elect to settle in the north.

Banmee pls come see wahala
Even during the holy month of Ramadan theu wont stop stealing

Looooooool. Are you surprised?

GeeOh:

Smh. I have lost words to say

And Dasuki is in jail. This is happening now not 2014. The system that allows this has not been nipped in the bud.put in place real deterrents to such crimes and not witch hunting and this country will be gr8 again.

hodusglobal:
Hee Hee, what's our problem in this country? Even if you send some people to get you eggs, they will still licks the eggs shell. Na wa for us in dis our country ooo.

I no mind having some

This has been the trend in the country for the past 50years.

chuksanambra:




This same thing happened in the Biafran war when food aid dropped by donor agencies were seized by Igbo Biafran soldiers and sold to Biafrans. Women and nursing mothers had to have sex with Biafran soldiers in exchange for food.

Show us evidence!!!!. Oga Lai has a worthy disciple

This is another purpose the north created IDP via terrorist groups( boko haram and herdsmen). The northerners in charge of voting processes will send their fellow northerners as INEC officials to IDP camps for elections rigging to bring hardships to Nigerians.

All these nonsense will stop when everyone return to their various regions and control their resources.

aboki and corruption.

Those are the ones that love themselves, tomorrow nau one lunatic will tell me Hausa/Fulani love themselves, when ordinary free gift another country gives to you to give the poor and downtrodden, you have already shared and retailed it, so as to pocket the money.
They steal foods and sell, steal meningitis vaccine and sell, and even ordinary fruit, they are diverting it to the market, for profit.

Damn your "they love themselves".

The only thing that unite them is religion and remove it they will get sense.

Agumbankembu:


Privileged Hausa/Fulanis are fantastically corrupt.
Say it as it is, because I don't think they will allow other ethnic groups to man any office which receives Ramadan gifts from Saudi.
Na Dem Dem.

Unfortunately, you are right

Besides you have no idea the nature and quantity of charity (gifts) that countries like Saudi Arabia donates to us but it hardly ever ever gets to the intended recipient.

Long ago (around 1995) at Tudun wada area of Kaduna state, I witnessed the arrival of containers of clothes and shoes from Saudi Arabia meant as charity..., these days corruption doesn't allow such transparency again.

GeeOh:
na which kain country be dis

they said it's zoo country

That's the fundamental problem we have as a nation. The tendency to always take advantage of each other at the slightest opportunity, be time financially, spiritually, morally, intellectually, physically and beyond. Whether Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa or any other. So it's a very peculiar situation but that's how we roll. It's deep rooted, unfortunate but that's nigeria for you. It's so basic to us like air is to human.

gbosaa:


All Africans don't reason the same way.
Speak for yourself.

If those fools can steal, divert and sell foods, relief materials meant for poor people, imagine what they'd be doing with public finances.

Shame on them. This is evil and I have a feeling that the boko insurgency will continue for as long as ever cos some devilish beings are profiteering from it.

I agree with you 100%

Hmmm Jesus should just come nw... its high time

Though I believe in the LAST DAY and JUDGEMENT DAY but if any prophet or saviour tries to visit the world (Earth) NOW, that prophet/saviour will simply be SCAMMED.

Agumbankembu:


Sharrap zombie.
These people have been diverting IDP food, diverting vaccines and Ramadan gifts. These are simple things that keep the poor alive, yet you steal them, and u want me not to say it as it is.
A privileged Hausa or Fulani man is fantastically corrupt.
Imagine stealing food and medicine meant for poor ones.

my brother let's not give this issue an ethnic or religious colouration. D gentleman is right. Nigerians thrive on d misfortune of others.sometime ago when d river Niger overflowed its banks, many people were made homeless even as far as delta state.d state govt under uduaghan released money and materials 4d upkeep of d affected people. On one of his visits 2a camp 4 these people, he discovered that materials and food meant 2 help these folks get their lives back had been misappropriated by those who were in charge of managing and distribution of d materials and food

The amount of criminals living in Nigeria is beyond imagination...
