One at a time? How about more that one?   Isnt it about the help? So when churchs give to mission trips for international countries less fortunate  thats also for recognition?   I dont see it.

Madam, some can only afford one at a time. What's your point here?
We are not all Americana big wigs like you.

Exactly . . Arrogance over Human Lives?  Seriously?

You're seeing it from a different side, it is not what I meant.
[size=20pt]Take for instance Josh surgery- How many people[b] in 9ja [/b] actually tried to help. [/size]
Please dont make me laugh.

My point exactly!!! Either you are deliberately misunderstanding my initial point or you just want to talk.
I could see many volunteering and offering their finance and services on this thread yet when other pressing issues such as these come up with their own fellow Nigerians, the face the other way.
Which is why I said they must need some sort of international recognition if they are willing to help now but can't help Nigerians.

Any form of help rendered to anybody (race, creed, sect etc) is still help. So because Nigerians dont help Nigerians (according to U ooooo ) is enuff reason to discourage any help going the way of people that has been hit by natural disaster?  

International recognition? How is texting "Haiti" to 90999  seeking international recognition?   What kind of recognition do u expect to get from that?  

spikedcylinder:

There's absolutely nothing wrong with helping and donating what they can but a lot of all these people might not bat a lid if this quake was home grown.
That's what boggles me.
Right now, if I have spare cash, I will donate to people who need it here. If someone in Naija needed surgery or something and it made front page on nl, they'll call it scam.

lmao some nigerians and their myopic approach to issues

Uche2nna:

I was responding SPECIFICALLY to that post.

U probably need your own advice more than I do. Next time make sure u know how much Nigerians help other Nigerians before u make your contribution. Thanks.

I've seen the responses here when it comes to helping Nigerians. Refer to the thread the Josh thread. Plat was even banned for it.
You still need the advice way more than I ever will.

The majority of people on this thread lives abroad . I just checked. One cannot force one to give to another.
If they feel moved to give , who are we to pronounce judgements?

I am not passing judgement on anyone. I made my observation and was willing to move on.

Aki, how much have you donated. You're here making noise.

delegiwa:

Just like everything Naija, we've succeeded in moving away from the main issue - helping Haitians, to non-issues - race, govt, naija help naija or not.

Can we focus here?

MrCrackles:

Thank you. . . I pointed it out earlier. . .
This shitzo is all about Haiti and the much needed help getting to them not some silly behind irrelevancies and petty gobblydygooks!!!
Pssf

debosky:

Rubbish - were the same number of people homeless? Do you know how many have died and will be homeless for years as a result of this one incident? With death tolls likely topping 100,000 due to an event of ONE DAY how can you reasonably compare that to anything else that has happened in the life of that country?

davidylan:

You people are so lost in your own self-importance that you still dont get it. How many times have Nigerians needed relief and you failed woefully to provide it? How many of you hiding in foreign countries are donating to Red Cross organisations IN NIGERIA?

Where were you during the Boko Haram crisis or you think only Haitians need help?

I wager i have more than you can ever aspire to. Its best you dont go there.

I can bet you that America is fully prepared for a 9.0 earthquake to strike California should it happen. Here, leaders are not despots who build palaces while the people suffer and essential services go unprovided for. Its ok for the black race to ignore its responsibilities . . . when we need help we can just call on oxfam. We should be ashamed of our selves.

Redman44:

I agree with daviddylan's  arguments absolutely. Haiti has been governed by despots over the years. Haitian rulers lived flamboyantly while citizens of the country suffered. It seems the black man is averse to development. While I'm not against people giving money and other forms of assistance to Haiti, I feel it is high time the black race starts sorting  its problems out. The Asians have started asserting themselves industrially and are beginning to get the respect of the Western nations. Peeps should try and read Matthew Ashimolowo's book about the black race. What is really wrong with us? A good example of how it seems we blacks are averse to development is the case of the IITA [ International Institute of Tropical Agriculture ] in Ibadan, Oyo State. While Ibadan is still much undeveloped, this institute is becoming an advanced community in the Oyo State capital. Everything is working at IITA and you'll be forced to believe you're in Europe when you walk into IITA. The place was developed and maintained by whites. Outside the walls of IITA, there is chaos, filth, poverty and craas underdevelopment. God help us.

As in!! Nawa o, ignorance never seize to amaze me,

building palaces while the people go without food?
