that is the JOB of the government!! You guys don't know your government is the problem.

It is the job of EVERYONE who has the capacity to help in a big way, to do so.

In the Great Depression, AL CAPONE established a soup kitchen to feed the hungry. As did the Rockefellers and other wealthy Americans.

In Colombia, PABLO ESCOBAR used to visit the poorest parts of Medellin at night to distribute money from his drug trafficking activity.

If a criminal can be so conscientious, what’s the excuse of the supposedly ‘clean, virtuous’ billionaire classes?

Soup kitchen is a charity work done by groups of people, not one person. It is mainly supported by religious groups. From buying on heavily discounted grocery to having free volunteers doing the actual job. Govt also help. It is not a billionnaires kind of funded project though they can give to support.

And in soup kitchen, it is mainly soup and bread. The cheapest of them all. What can you possibly give Nigerians in soup kitchen?
Rice or bread when Nigeria has no sustainable in rice grains and wheat. All mostly imported especially wheat flour.
Besides, Nigerian government know why there is scarcity of food. When they are serious, they should fix it.

you guys have been so fooled and used by your government that you don't know what their job is anymore.

It is the Government job to do that!!!! If people do so out of their free will, it's not their job

Only free 100 Naira bread, they were flogged like animals, now imagine wetin go happen if na soup and eba. Just imagine o

I have always wondered about this.

Probably a lack of ideas. Someone has todo it first, the others follow

Reflect7:
In the days when there was starvation and malnutrition in the Victorian and Edwardian era of England, in the days of Oliver Twist and Charles Dickens, the rich would establish what were called 'Soup Kitchens' where the poor would queue up and be served plates of light soup served with bread.

If I was Dangote, Otedola, and all these guys, I would do just that.

Just establish some joints and ensure that people queue orderly for their turn.

Even rich folks that are not as rich as Dangote and co can still come together and contribute to establish a Soup Kitchen.


Soup Kitchen, Victorian England


They even still have such places TODAY in England, for the poorest who can't afford a meal.

We need to develop that sort of caring mindset for our fellow Nigerians.
