He doesn't need a key to escape.. the Barricades are wide enough for him to pass through but he chose not to be free for either of these reasons. 1. He his wise enough to serve his time and be released in due time. 2, He wants to be locked up (the mental slavery other responders are talking about)

Why did the prisoner choose the bread instead of the key

Bread is assured but escaping isn't. Simple.

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

The condition of our country nigeria... instead our leaders{the guy in the pic} 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.

make Sense

And if he is in a Nigerian prison, he will need energy to run

Mooh247:





Because he is in the middle of ADX-Florence Supermax Facility, USA. Or Camp22 North Korea Special prison/ Labour camp

You attempt to escape in NorthKorea you die a painful slow death

You attempt to escape in a Supermax prison in US you get your sentence doubled

Many Nigerians would believe they are smart and would attempt to cheat the system...

This is why they smuggle drugs to Asia knowing fully well death penalty awaits them

They commit fruad against USA and still flaunt it like Hushpuppi, even in prison they still continue fruad


.

Accomodation fee don cost for naija,so he think if he take the key and escape,he don't have where to sleep and since he no dey house rent for prison make he kuku pick food instead of freedom..you say?

The door ain’t locked

Mental slavery...

There is more that meet the eyes

So 60% of Nairalanders Ex Convict's [font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font][color=#000099][/color]

He wants the key but need the bread...
Need supercedes want

He is biding his time. Time to use the key hasn't come yet even as tempting as it may seem. And by ignoring they key, he wins the trust of the wardens.

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery

Because he's a typical Nigerian who is in the prison of APC and PDP. He's ready to die in the prison while eating crumbs from APC/PDP instead of grabbing the key to freedom. This is the mentality of a typical Nigerian shouting APC/PDP, afterall the 2 parties are one and the same thing. Stupid Nigerians, you will all die in your prison of poverty as long as you don't break free from these 2 enemies.

He now feels comfortable with his condition.

OP,put yourself in the prisoner shoe in BUHARI regime,free food inside WHILE out is hard to see free food �

Because he is a Nigerian

Because man must wack where are our distinguished philosophers?

you'll never find righteousness2 on this kind of thread to show his intelligence. But once it's time to quote the Bible. He will rush in

idk, oga tell us the reason?

The answer lies in Abraham Maslow hierarchy of needs. It is human nature as lower level needs takes precedent over higher level needs.

the prisonal choose the bread because he knew the key was a setup for him.

Because Nigerian politicians and their government policies have destroyed his brain, make him afriad of freedom.
That's why Nigerians never experienced freedom.

The simple truth is that he doesn't need a key to get out of the cell, considering the space between the bars, but he needs the bread to survive. He knows that his true freedom isn't about getting out of the cell but surviving till the next day.

Babyboyforeal:
This is Nigerians during election

best answer so far

this is a typical example of the situation in Nigeria today.we choose food over freedom.
we vote the wrong people just because of a cup of rice,and stay in hunger for years.
so be wise and vote responsiblly.
don't sell your vote
then freedom is sure for all.
