He needs to have strength before thinking about an escape

A hungry man can not think straight

Stolkhorm syndrome.

he's a mumu man

There is nothing philosophical about this picture.

Instant Gratification

This is a photo of Nigerians voting for PDP and Apc next year because of money they received instead of voting sowore which is the key.

Felimax:
He has already served his term as his date is almost due. Every prisoner in this category will rather go for the bread.

Same way you see prisoners following warders up and down doing menial jobs but never running away.

just the way I saw some walking with the warder without chain on them.

Your 3years old son gets angry whenever you give him a food he doesn't want and throws it on you, you laugh and say "�� children ehh"
Baby boy will lift his hands and slap you when he wants you to drop him... All you'd say is "you're beating mummy �"
No other child in that area messes with him... And you're calling him "A no- nonsense boy"
He picks up things from the ground and hits people whenever he's stopped from doing something... You smile and call him "action boy���‍♂️��‍♂️"
You expose him to all manner of violence and say "He's a man, man suppose get mind"
Few years down the line the teenage boy bullies his sisters, commands them around, shares slaps as souvenirs to anyone that dares to challenge him. You call him "man of the house"
He grew up having his way all through. Now he's a full grown man in the society. And it's not funny anymore.
Abusive husbands didn't fall from the sky, someone raised a boy wrongly.
It's easier to train a son than to correct a husband
We could address a lot from the root.
Mothers, Raising Sane Men begins from CORRECTING THEM AS SONS.

Why did the prisoner choose the bread instead of the key

He probably doesn't have a home. The prison is free home and the bread is free food which he'd always get periodically. Being free would mean he may not be able to cater for himself and considering the picture, that man is certainly poor.

Suspect1:
This explains alot of things, lets take for an example.

The condition of our country nigeria... instead our leaders should fight for the success{the key} of the whole country he chooses to fight for him self alone{the bread}.

Anyways what a useless noise i just made.

Haha

Na who dey alive they use key

Thought of an average Nigerian..

Don't quote me pls.

Cheers and Be wise!

He believes in immediate gratification and free food rather than key of freedom that will grant him unhindered access to new leash of life.Most of Nigerian electorate could be likened to this,they run after moneybag politicians for immediate bread and sell off their future,they exchange their glorious future for bread and later they begin to cry in horrible pain.Anyone who needs and desires a glorious future must have power of delayed gratification.

The entire mindset of the prisoner is to eat first. There is a possibility that he didn't even notice the key. However, let's say he noticed the key, before that move, all he wants first is to eat, get strength to unlock the gate and move.

Even if he goes for the key first, there are hurdles (police and sentries scattered around) to face prior to escape that will require lots of strength.

It's reflects the mind of nigeria voters, they will rather vote for urgent 2k than vote a credible candidate.

Na hunger

hunger beclouds a mans vision

He choose the bread because he believes he is okay with his current condition which in our real life mean comfort zone , most of us sees the key to our freedom but we fail to us it..

How far can he go?

The key only opens his room. What about other passages?

Best live by the day

Strength before action

The moment he chooses The key, the bread stops coming

The key can only open the door from outside. Having the key is useless for him.

That is Nigeria for you. We vote and are on the look out for the candidate that will give us bread but not the key to our freedom.

The fact the stick can pick both the bread and the key means there’s still time to achieve a lot. He only need strength to initiate it. The bread gives strength. Probably he was lacking in strength, hence the more reason he had to actualize first the necessity to gain more strength. Then after he must have gained it, then he goes for the key. But also, there might be some other obstacles even when he opens the first gate, which is why he just wanted to eat the bread first before thinking of opening the door.

This is usually the scenario in life. Another perspective though.

Learned helplessness

because whatever you're going through......try chop first

shilenji:
So he go chop get strength to use the key to turn the lock.

2. So e go fit get enough strength to run after en open the iron bar. Them fit wan chase ahm, the bread go hold belle well

it's typical of corrupt leaders starving the masses and depriving them of good life and all.Then,during elections they come to the masses with stomach infrastructure, rather than empowering the people.

Hunger is the key to loyalty,intimidation and control!
