Lets use the interesting power of social media to make a difference in this man's life. Not Just for the sake of it but to show that we can use Nairaland to achieve good things.

These are his words:
I do not have money to rent any house again. I want the government to help me. I do not have any sickness. I am not taking any injection. I only need help,” he added.

We can change his story. We can use him as a starting point for expressing the power to do good that we wield as a people of social media.

My recommendation is simple.
We start out an old folks home with him as the first member. There are loads of old folks like him suffering with no family to turn to.
All we need is to rent a place and provide the basics for living. We get volunteers from churches & mosques to take care of these folks and provide the care they need.

It would cost a lot. Probably a couple hundreds of thousands. With collaboration, we can raise whatever is required. If 1000 if us put up 1k each, we would have 1m already. And that would go more than a long way.

I don't know if I am making any sense but I am pretty passionate about using the collaborative power of social media to achieve good in society. And I feel we can start out with any story. And this old man's story is a good one.

If you think this is possible, show support by commenting and sharing your ideas on how to achieve this.

For me, for every like this post gets, I will be giving 200 Naira towards this old man's welfare. That is 200 Naira let like. 20,000 Naira for 100 likes. And yes, 200,000 for 1000 likes. And I mean every word if it.

Losing an ID card should not translate to any big deal in an organized nation. That's just a piece of paper or plastic. It's 2016, why would losing a mere ID translate to him not getting his pension?

armadeo:


but he has the strenght to drink, mr man you most likely come from a stable home.

i have seen first hand what unstable fathers do to families. note i am not referring to fathers who arent rich, am talking of fathers who arent rich and still act as a source of embarasement to the family. guy as you said what normal family would leave thier father in his 80s to stay on the streets. he chose that life i am very sure,

family probably said choose between this life and us and he chose.

Emeskhalifa:

E b like u frm anoda planet ooo. Same shii made ma granpa lost his rtrment bnfitz. Thnk God our own isnt in d sun cz we tkin care of him

armadeo:
Lies.


The last paragraph showed that he is a no good drunkard.

Sometimes he drinks and smokes because of lack of family care. Unrepentant drunkard.


Am suretyhe family abandoned him due to his activities and here is is lying against them.

How hard is it for the park to transport you to your family.


Lying at such an age tell a lot about you old soldier

Tellemall:


I thought only I read that last part about him drinking and smoking.

It appears he was a drunken smoker who made himself so unbearable that his wife had to take her kids and run away.

It's so surprising that at his age he still indulges in such damaging activities. 83-year old indeed. I'll bet he's in his sixties but wasted himself on his excesses.

danidee10:

And who is dis one

glossy6:


Can't you handle a joke?

armadeo:




Look at the response from those who don't read.





Imagine. This is a future leader who wants respect because he is old. Pls follow Ben Bruce on Twitter and get some of that stuff he's dishing out.



Magicminister and usautobuy una head they there.

Many are dropping emotional response without logic.

I can assure you he man was a terrible father not from a financial point but an emotional one.

armadeo:



Respect is earned not grown into.

You obviously have no idea what that means.

Ignored from now.

kilokeys:

4251837141 dummy.
My take is, he was probably dismissed from the force. And his id collected.
I went to Command.. Our barracks was a resettlement one for old soldiers. . Not all his colleagues died in battle.. Just shut up before I vex for u o

mikolo80:
I am not a future leader. I lead today. we nor be mate. you are the future leader (hopefully).
I do not believe in respect cos of age. but you respect him as a human being. how would you like it if you made a mistake and ppl passing by insulted you till the day you die. no compassion just ridicule. he's down he's down, why add insult to injury. or you think it's by your power and night that you're where you are abi. you know every. you sabi all. don't worry watch and see how tables turn quickly. Shebi we're responding emotionally. Shebi you want to see what tribulation looks and feels like. just remember to look at how job got himself out of it. cos I doubt you'll be able to find me to ask for the curse to be lifted

mikolo80:
so you only respect middle class yuppies and above. you think you're where you are by your power and wisdom. may the almighty not test your resolve.

armadeo:



You seem to have a comprehension problem. Where did I add class to respect. I think you should read my signature. It applies to you no doubt.

armadeo:



Who are you that you think you sit behind your computer throwing curses around. I bared my mind on a topic and you bared yours I have a right to my opinions as do you. The above was your first mention.




someone who knows they are effective
and thinks your repugnant remarks deserve them



You lead today is your cup of tea. Everybody knows himself. You don't grow into respect you earn it. Look at your first response.



you respect all humans till you know for a fact not hearsay, that they disrespected themselves


Back to the issue, when a man falls its not a problem it's when he refuses to get up that's the problem. You probably haven't dealt with his kind that's why you are here raining curses on your head.

and you think alcoholism(addiction) is something that willpower can overcome in his present circumstances without help.
may you never be tested like this man. (for you will fail miserably with this know it all attitude)




If you made a mistake it's allowed but stupidity is repeating the same action expecting a different result. Go figure that one out.


and you think cycle of addiction is so easily broken with mouth



You sure are right about one thing we aren't mates in anyway.

Bug off.

mikolo80:


you got that right

so you're willing to learn
that's a good sign

armadeo:

Comprehension.
