Bride price cost 50naira only where I'm from.

Mechonu!

Falz go Don bleep her tire sha

When that popular Nollywood actor Muna Obiekwe died some years ago, the story that went round was that he had suffered a kidney disease and needed funds, but was too scared of mockery to reach out to people for help.
Some of you blamed him for dying in silence.
Some judged it as pride......

A few days ago, a popular Lagos DJ committed suicide.
Some have condemned him already, saying, "na because of ordinary woman you go kill yasef?"
Some have also blamed the death on the woman for not having 'spirit of forgiveness'!

I have also observed some microwave- overnight-motivators posting things like "speak out, don't die in silence, we are here for you, nyennyenye!

And, I laugh!

Over time, I have come to find that we as a people are far from being as kindhearted as we are wont to project ourselves to be.

The average Nigerian is not a philanthropist but an opportunist!

There! I said it!

Oftentimes, it is all about 'showmanship'.

That is why your neighbor knows that they'd rather eat their cold food in peace than come to knock your door to ask for a box of matches, on that rainy afternoon when theirs suddenly goes too wet to strike or finishes.

That is why your friend who has had a bladder failure and wet her bed, would rather keep the mattress indoors ( even at the risk of it getting rotten!), than bring it out to airdry.

That is why some would rather lock themselves indoors, drink garri without sugar for days and keep smiling-pretend, than tell you exactly how it is doing them!

You, yes you, that says you care, do you really care?

Are you not just saying it to sound relevant?

That woman ( single mother of three) that approached you for assistance last term towards paying her children's school fees, didn't you turn her down after preaching a long sermon about why women should keep themselves? Didn't you throw some 'useful' advice her way about 'how not to be lazy'?

That pregnant girl that died having an abortion, would you have taken her in had she come to you for shelter, in the event her parents threw her out?

That young man who has approached your gate severally to give you his CV, did you not haughtily turn him down, while murmuring, "Am I Buhari that is responsible for your suffering?"

But, you went on different fbgroup to throw around a few thousands of naira, forming philanthropist, because over there, more people will "see" you and "hail' you and " pray" for you!

You organise free -giving events, give out publicly for all to "see" because it will "sell" your "brand" not because you really give a hoot whether those poor people live or die!

You can donate cartons of juice to charity but are ready to beat and design your househelp's body with koboko, over a cup of juice!

If your intentions for the dying world are truly genuine, look around you: there is always someone, in your hood, your family, your place of primary assignment, your office, whose smile looks out of place.

If you look closer, it is easy to trace the track of tears on that your friend's face, no matter how much she masks it...

So, before you go forming 'defender of the depressed universe', ask yourself:

If friend A is in distress and needs a quick helping hand ( without public announcement!)will she come to me?

If friend B has been diagnosed of a terminal disease or a life threatening one, will she confide in me? Has she confided in me before and I let her down?

If neighbor C is cooking and her gas suddenly finishes, will she have the boldness to knock on my door, pot in hand, to finish her cooking? If she does, will I oblige?

If Church member D has a pressing need, (or an insignificant one as little as not having transport to go home after service!), will he/she be bold enough to tell me about it? Will I respond without judgement or will I even help out at all without a sermon?

If Mrs E, who has suffered a temporary misfortune, comes to me with her pressing need to feed her children or pay some basic bills, will I give without reminding her of how her mates sell pure water or fry akara to make out a living?

These are the pending issues!

If your answer to the questions above are in the affirmative, congratulations, you are a philanthropist!

If not, it does not matter what image you project to the world, you are nothing but an opportunist, seeking to be noticed by the 'right' eyes, in order to use others misfortunes to enrich your greedy self!...

Think about it.........

NwanyiAwkaetiti:
Guy you are a proper cyber bully like a very toxic being. Just went through your posts now dayuuuummm, talk about another carrying another man's post for head like gala. You reek of sadness, so much bile gnawing away inside of you. Jeeeez!

My age grade refused to support my cousin who was contesting for house of rep under APC. He was told to join another party if he needs our support. That's how bad we igbos despise that party

#NotTooYoungToWin
My name is Richard Ngene, I am 30 years old.
Also a House of Assembly Candidate of APC in Enugu State.

Please I am appealing to my fellow Nigerians irrespective of party affiliations, tribe and religion to support me and help fund my campaign.


I don’t have a godfather and I also don’t intend to have one. I am running my election with the little I have and also with the help of very few individuals who believe that Richard can do better. I won’t disappoint the Youths when elected.

Please I need more campaign Posters,T-Shirts, Caps. etc


Thanks and Gold Bless.

Wanted to request for your account details then I saw your party. Nna, the Lord is your strength. That's all I can say for now

Buhari and APC will be disgraced both in debate and the poll.

victorian:
I'm spiritual.

I have the gift of knowing when bad things want to happen.

I knew something bad was about to happen to my. Mum but I didn't take it serious after a week she died, I was so shattered.

On My late brother I also knew something bad was about to happen To him when he was still alive. I begged even cried for him to follow.me to one church back then, but he refused and said nothing will happen to him but within two weeks, his biz collapsed and the trauma of loosing all his money in forex within 2seconds killed him thru heart attack. It was as if my whole life has stopped. But later I pick Myself up. Working as if life has no meaning

Mine ? The message came spiritual. I could feel. In my bones death was knocking on my door and it would be on my B-Day. I started loosing strength, I went to hospital, nothing was found. Doctor said I need rest but I don't work that much! What kind of stupid rest . I could feel life living me inside but outside I look radiant.

Can u imagine? People thought I was enjoying but that's not the reality. I was so. Unhappy.

Until I was driving past and saw this church, I now attend .
My spirit said Vicky that's where your solution lies. Go there and be set free.

And I went! And I was set free on Wednesday evening, during the ministration.

He said there is someone here who has been worried she will die, nothing works in her life but everybody feels she's enjoying. Most wish to be like her but her time is running out. If u are such person come. Out now! Only me came out from the large congregation. I knew I was about to be delivered from untimely death.

I didn't know what was pushing down as reverend was praying And speaking in tongues but I was just falling down and something was just pushing me. Away from him as he was praying and sweating on my matter. To run away from here. I was dragged back towards him. I ran. He pursued me wit other prayer warriors , praying. I had no where to run to again.
I was then tumbling over and over.

Mehn that evening was something else but I knew I have been delivered.
This New Year and am Alive!!!!

Hale and hearty!

Your reverend still have a lot of work to perform on you
