There's nothing wrong with them. They may not satisfy an immediate need right now, but they will sometime. Or are the IDPs going to stay in the camp forever?

maybe he/she wants them to use it to club under the bridges where de resides. Naija people n their jokes

Tolexander:
What for?

It doesn't really make sense giving the IDPs gift like this.

Are there no flat sole shoes or slippers?

u no well at all!!!which one be it dosen't make sense which one u don donate?

fistonati:
There's nothing bad in it, its a way of encouraging others to follow d same step. If am around there, I will donate a TV set and decoder to up their Morales

you don't need to be around before you send them TV and decoder just channel it to the right source it Will get to them as virgin as you send it.

Unionised:
What have you sent?

Analyst...

I don't think it's about what have you donated here but how is it going to help at this moment.It's like donating shoes to someone who has no legs.
Why didn't the person sell those shoes at any price and send a bag of rice or even tomato tins?

End time Philanthropy

FlirtyKaren:
Do you see anything wrong with giving these old shoes as donation to Internally Displaced Persons?

There is nothing wrong with that, that they are internally displaced does not mean they are not civilised at one point, some one inn there actually needs shoes like that.

She gave what she had,what have u given?

My dear there is everything wrong with them.At this point in time they need food and clothes,those shoes won't serve them immediately.Do you really think these women care about fashion right now?All they need now is food and clothes.How about selling those shoes at any price and buying tomato tins or rice?

Can you visit an accident victim in the hospital who just lost his/her legs with shoes as donation? Is it sensible?

The type those COZA members donated to widows and then displayed it on the internet to defend their pastors recently accquired Porsche taga at the expense of his ignorant members income.

The one that amuses me is u see people donating packs of sugar to a beggar that barely has any good set of teeth

End time donations .

would you rather it grow worn-out in the former owners closet, disused or ends up in the trash can? Don't IDPs deserve high heels as they are half humans?

Am pretty sure those shoes must be from our so called celebrities that visited IDP's camp recently

jemype:
kontinu. so. IDP has turned to arise fashion show because it seems only d person can see d runway

Tink na. Use brain. Dey will def sell all d stuffs and recover d cash.

It s called free will donation. And that's what the person has to donate.

Is a gift

person wey no get joy dey wear. this kind shoe?? smh

Very funny. You can't give what you don't have

Sell it or exchange it for flat shoes or slippers

I still maintain that there is nothing wrong with it.

Now, let me help you distinguish between an accident victim and an IDP. An accident victim loses his health, not everything (home&property, which includes shoes). It's for this reason it would be wiser to give them something that would help them out in the health department.

On the other hand, an IDP more often than not loses everything. As such, you can decide to satisfy an immediate need like feeding, or you may decide to think futuristically and give something like those shoes, given that they've lost all they have. What's more, you don't know if that person is in a position to start running around looking for who will buy the shoes. If you give someone like me that kind of work, those shoes will enter voicemail, cos I'm not a shoe seller and I don't like such long stories.

And then again, the person who gave those shoes isn't the only one who knows about these IDPs. There are others like Gaborone and edwife et al who can decide to satisfy those immediate needs by buying the tomatoes and all. That's what I think.

This will make a mad woman go crazy

You can only give what you have. even if you are a criminal and you have repented but all you have to give is your gun, give. the authorities will convert it to naira and give them.

NB. If you give it openly, you are Oyo.

Lol

My dear,the accident victim knows that she/he is going back home and probably knows where the next meal will come from.

A displaced person doesn't have an iota of when and how their lives will be normal again.He loses more than an accident victim,they lose their homes,their families,their investments,they are left with nothing! Such person won't even think about the future but how and where the next meal will come from or during raining season/harmattan season how well covered will they be.They are destitutes,running away from war.

They might even lose those shoes on their way back to their bases when the war finishes,who carries load of shoes when they are running away.the basis people need in war is food and clothes(to keep warm).

Precious things are for those that can prize them

Quit ur analysis nd go to supermarket nd buy kellogs nd Nido milk nd send to IDPs (if u haven't) then come back, we will listen to u..
