Yes, it is the government's responsibility to help us show compassion to others. /sarcasm
Thank God that not all Nigerians reason like you.
what's your point exactly?, with your self righteousness, how many people have you shown compassion today? grin I am not a Nigerian, so don't expect me to reason like nigerians, perhaps nigeria is in the mess it is today because of the way Nigerians like you reason.

And please keep your God to yourself.

You don't have to be Nigerian to have compassion.
How you reason is your own baggage to carry. Just don't come here criticizing a man who, just today, has inspired probably more people than your dark heart would allow you inspire throughout this year.

And yet, that may be how we remind ourselves of our humanity and duty to others. When all else is taken from us, we still have the power to inspire others, to make the world a better place by our actions. The day all Nigerians make the same decision you have made is the day the light is snuffed out from this troubled nation.

But I thank God for this gala man. I don't know why his token act hit me so hard that I almost welled up too, but I know this: I am greatly inspired.
Its is surprising that you could not comprehend what i wrote there. I never said it is wrong to help but that man put himself in a great danger. There are lots of ways to help them but giving gala to prisoners outstretched hand is definitely not a good option. A lot of people have died because of what that man did and the culprit will go scotfree even if he knows the man is genuinely offering help.
What do you even know about the police/prison personnel? Do you know that many are not psychologically balance? Do you even know how many people are shot daily? If that man was shot will you be saying kudos to him? My teacher once told me that it is foolishness that will make a man play with wat might kill him.

I agree with you absolutely. The man took a great risk. But that is EXACTLY why it is a great inspiration to others. An act of kindness becomes exponentially more powerful when it comes at great cost or risk. Now do you understand me ?

edit: by the way, you teacher misled you be telling only half of the tale. What he didn't tell you is that most of the good we have in the world today came from the "foolish" risks of others.

I beg to differ bro. Anybody that supports a government that imprisons people unjustly, without trial; anybody that supports a government that doesn't take proper care of Nigerians in prisons across the country (make that Nigerians across Nigeria) is wicked, finish!

its on record that its the poor that give more. ..... rich pple re just selfish
it's a reaction to what one has felt. If your loved one has not died b4 u in the hospital by what could have been averted medically, u won't understand the meaning of "Nigeria has substandard hospitals" or "the health sector is poorly funded" and if you have never lacked the things you need, you won't understand what it means to give to someone in need. This is why the poor easily gives and it's hard 4 the rich.

thank you! these cretins marvel at some guy giving out Galas to prisoners but don't care why the prisoner are in prison in the first place or why they are not been fed, some of the prisoners could be innocent. but no one gives a shiit as long as they are giving galas it's okay.

And some of these self righteous cretins come on here to lecture me on compassion grin

IamHeWrites:
A Gala seller moved people to tears by his actions when he spotted a group of prisoners in a van stuck in traffic.

The prisoners were being transported in a Nigeria Prison Service van heading to Ikoyi Prison but were stuck in traffic. As usual, the prisoners stretched out their hands through the tiny holes by the sides of the van and the Gala seller's next action surprised everyone.

He took the Gala he was selling and began distributing to the prisoners for free. When the van began moving, he dropped his basket by the side of the road, grabbed a handful of Gala and ran after them to make sure everyone gets a share.

His kind acts got him the attention of other road users and someone who was moved by his action, shared the story.

Nice. It shows that many Nigerians have not lost their humanity.

The irony is that an slowpoke would consider me a cretin for pointing out the obvious: an act of kindness at great cost inspires others.
I won't bother asking you which of my sentiments are illogical, because I can see right through your posts at the sorry state of your intellect.
Did you notice how many people were moved to tears by his simple act, or are you too busy choking on your cynicism?
Remain cynical and stupid if you will, but don't blame our outlook for your dark view of the world.

so he left his village to feed prisoners in Lagos. Which Igbo will joke with his business? Especially getting to end of the year when they have to go to village to show off?

At least he is been celebrated for his good gestures. That in it self is an achievement. He is also more popular than you.

Why would any reasonable person think or state that s/he is wicked because their leaders made them so?

That's a very very stupid way of reasoning.

You are wicked simply because it is in your nature to be wicked.

Nothing more; nothing less.

The gala boy that was dashing prisoners free gala, are you telling me he is not also a Nigerian?

The earlier you start owning up to your responsibility, the better it will be for you and for all concerned.

Ciao.
my comment is for people like you, even those that get divided by the leaders never agree with you that they're wicked, ur divided even within ur very self, correct ur self b4 giving a helping hand to another

Absolute! Rubbish! NO i wouldn't understand because i don't reason like you, grin infact, i don't want to understand. brainwashed minds thinks like yours, why haven't you given out everything you have? steve job died because he didn't give out his wealth? what a Ridiculous assertions to make, so bill gates will live forever? Go Ahead! give out Everything you have and see if you will not end up with nothing, this Idiotic Gala seller shouldn't be feeding criminals anyway, Next time he will come on here to complain how he was robbed by the same crooks. they should go hungry maybe it will make them change their crooked ways.

Is it not the job of the government to feed prisoners? The Nigerian Government steal billions but can not feed their prisoners. God have mercy on your soul too! for been Ilogical. grin


I won't go to gutters like you. That gala seller is so much blessed than you. At least he is a giver. I know your types and the funny thing is that your types don't even have anything when it comes to material things.

Bill Gates still have his life. He is still a living human being. He is still amassing billions and he is still giving away fortunes!!
Now run along poor minded folk like you.........


And mind you I have a close associate that hawked things when he first came to this town but today he lives in banana island. And the kind of money he has given away you can't make it in 3 lifetimes.. Now run along small minded fellow.
