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".

Don't get it mixed up.
Those in the IDPs are northern minorities.

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.

one of the reasons BH and orchestrated hunger still exist is because many benefit from donor acts and IDP programmes.

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.

The earlier we face it the better
thank God you're getting your reasoning small. These evils cut across ALL tribe n religion. But when we point it out people like you use propaganda to cover the one you have interest to cover. The more we support evil based on our religion, tribe, ally, party etc, let's not forget we're contributing to the destruction of the Nigeria we say we love. Thank you

The lord would have mercy on Nigeria.
most of the nonsense illegal things we are doing for gain here look as if they are legal.
somehow we understand that if we do not stop doing ilegal things we would carry it as legal abroad.
The freedom abroad is sometimes taken for ilegality by Nigerians while the slavery back home is a freedom for our leaders to do ilegal things in the name of trying to stop the same problems they created.
That is why oppresion back in Nigeria is a means of gain to the oppressor to now be legalized.
Nigeria is teaching countries of the world what corruption is and very soon we would have no means to do anything legal without bribery or corruption even with legal documentS.



Don't worry this country won't survive till then....
Nigeria is due for breakup a long time ago

Suraj Tunji Oyewale :
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 already give up on Nigerians, if i want to do sadaqa i do it myself cause anybody i sent seems to reduce the quantity of what i intend to give by 30-50%

Reports have it that about 200 tonnes of FREE date fruits donated by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to Nigerian refugees are now being sold in Nigerian markets as seen in the picture below. The fruit, given to Nigerians who were on pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia and also obtained from the Saudi Arabia Embassy in Nigeria, has been marked either “Free” or “Not for sale”.

The fruits were given for free based on the agreement that those taking it are going to give it to the poor, especially those in the Internally Displaced Persons camp.

However, the authorities of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Nigeria have found the fruit on sale in Nigeria to their amazement.

The dates were distributed from a warehouse belonging to Royal Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the presence of the Charge d’Affairs, Dr Yahya Mughram.

The commission for refugees, migrants and Internally Displaced Person drew up the list of recipients which included IDPs camps as well as prominent Mosques.

Meanwhile the Federal government is set to commence investigation into the matter.

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

A popular American televangelist once described Christianity in Nigeria as "ONE MILE WIDE BUT ONLY ONE INCH DEEP".

Same can be said of every religion in Nigeria!

Almost all of Nigeria's 172million people are Christians and Muslims (as in tongue speaking and tesbau hugging) yet Nigerian Breweries and Guinness remain among the most capitalized companies on the stock exchange and the country remians among the most corrupt nations on Earth.

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.

Believe me, I agree with you that alcohol is not a sin.

However, it is a sin according to standard sharia law as expounded by the quran. It is also a sin as propounded by the doctrine of almost all of Nigeria's pentecostalism.

With most Nigerians being muslims and pentecostal christians, it is such a surprise that millions of crates of lagger beer are guzzled annually by these tongue speaking and tesbau counting religious folks.

The above is the clarification of my original post.

I can never forget a conversation Tboss had with Debie-Rise in big brother house. Tboss told debie that a friend of hers had invited her to come work with her in IDP camp but she declined. She went on to say the said friend tells her of how they make huge money by selling off items made for the Camp.
So my people, i don't feel pity or disheartened for people anymore when i come across news on how someone was crushed on motorcycle by a truck!
