Brytawon:
I was walking around when i saw a cashier hand
this little boy his money back, the boy couldn't
have been more than 5 or 6 years old.
The Cashier said, 'I'm sorry, but you don't have
enough money to buy this doll.'' The little boy
turned to the old woman next to him, ''Granny,
are you sure I don't have enough money?'' She
replied, ''You know that you don't have enough
money to buy this doll, my dear.'' Then she asked
him to stay there for just 5 minutes while she
went to look around. She left quickly.
The little boy was still holding the doll in his
hand. Finally, I walked toward him and I asked
him who he wished to give this doll to. 'It's the
doll that my sister loved most and wanted so
much for Christmas. She was sure that Santa
Claus would bring it to her.' I replied to him that
maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her after all,
and not to worry.
But he replied to me sadly. 'No, Santa Claus
can't bring it to her where she is now. I have to
give the doll to my mommy so that she can give
it to my sister when she goes there.' His eyes
were so sad while saying this, 'My Sister has
gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is
going to see God very soon too, so I thought that
she could take the doll with her to give it to my
sister.'' My heart nearly stopped. The little boy
looked up at me and said, 'I told daddy to tell
mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I
come back from the mall.'
Then he showed me a very nice photo of
himself. He was laughing. He then told me 'I
want mommy to take my picture with her so she
won't forget me.' 'I love my mommy and I wish
she didn't have to leave me, but daddy says that
she has to go to be with my little sister.' Then he
looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very
quietly.
I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the
boy. 'Suppose we check again, just in case you
do have enough money for the doll!'' OK' he said,
'I hope I do have enough.' I added some of my
money to his without him seeing and we started
to count it. There was enough for the doll and
even some spare money.
The little boy said, 'Thank you God for giving me
enough money!' Then he looked at me and
added, 'I asked last night before I went to sleep
for God to make sure I had enough money to buy
this doll, so that mommy could give it to my
sister. He heard me!'' 'I also wanted to have
enough money to buy a white rose for my
mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too
much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll
and a white rose.'' 'My mommy loves white
roses.'
A few minutes later, the old lady returned and I
left with my basket. I finished my shopping in a
totally different state of mind from when I
started. I couldn't get the little boy out of my
mind. Then I remembered a local newspaper
article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk
man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a
young woman and a little girl. The little girl died
right away and the mother was left in a critical
state. The family had to decide whether to pull
the plug on the life-sustaining machine because
the young woman would not be able to recover
from the coma. Was this the family of the little
boy?
Two days after this encounter with the little boy I
read in the newspaper that the young woman
had passed away. I couldn't stop myself as I
bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the
funeral home where the body of the young
woman was for people to see and make last
wishes before her burial. She was there, in her
coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand
with the photo of the little boy and the doll
placed over her chest.
I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life
had been changed forever. The love that the
little boy had for his mother and his sister is still,
to this day, hard to imagine, and in a fraction of
a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away
from him.

I'm speechless.....àlmost at the brink of tears.

A little boy's happiness taken by a drunk idiot!

Stiffer punishments should be given to persons who commit such crimes just like the police men in the post.

Its not all about talking on nairaland.

2019, I must present myself for election; my state's House of assembly for starters...

yorke1:
This man talk too much. All we hear is I will do, I will do and I will do. When are you going to start doing.

He is waiting to get all the needed paper work right before making the changes, u don't just rush doing things any how, without due process...thats why someone like you can't lead a flock of sheep or goats let alone a nation of about 170M people.....smh...

demmy0325:
I still dnt know this guy source of money.. Can someone pls tell me.. ..

That is the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw the heading of this post.

How dafaque did Ayiri make his money?!!

Heard he is an ex-militant? Hmmmmm.....

melzabull:
be real and be proud of your identity. Stop being an ijiot

That I'm Igbo!

No way! I dont wear red cap with fowl feather on it neither do I eat fufu. How can I claim am an Igbo.

christinie:
let me give you some legal lectures. Pick up your pen and paper and write. Am gonna try to type as simple as possible.
The existence of an offence can be proved through eye witness account, confessional statement and circumstantial evidence. See the case of Nguma V. A.G. Imo State (2014) 233 LRCN 41 @ 51 H.9.
Eye witness account is when a person who was at the scene of crime identifies the accused as the one who committed the offence in question.
Confessional statement of the accused: in the case of Uche V The State (2014) 10 ACLR 184 H.7 it was held that a free and voluntary confession which is direct and positive is sufficient to sustain a conviction.
The Supreme Court in the case of Okeke V. State (2003) 15 NWLR (PT 814) P. 25 @ 41 stated that:
"Confession of an accused person to the commission of the offence plays a major part in the determination of his guilt and a court of law is entitled to convict on the confession if it comes to the conclusion that the confession is voluntary."
"Also it is trite that a man or a woman may be convicted on his own confession alone and there is certainly no evidence stronger than a person's own admission or confession as such is admissible." See the case of Agboola V. State (2013) Vol. 225 LRCN (pt 1) 159 @ 169 R. 11 & 12.
Circumstantial evidence: it is settled that for circumstantial evidence to support a conviction in a criminal trial it must be cogent, complete and unequivocal. It must be compelling and must be such that leads to only an irresistible conclusion that it is the accused and no one else who committed the crime.
It is trite law that for circumstantial evidence to ground and sustain conviction it must meet the following conditions:
A. It must be irresistible and unequivocally lead to guilt of the appellant.
2. No other reasonable inference could be drawn from it, and
3. There must no other co-existing article which could weaken the inference.
See the cases of Idowu V. State (1998) 11 NWLR (PT 574) 554 @ 370. Alfred Aigbadion V. State (2000) 7 NWLR (PT 666) and Ogedengbe V. State (2014) ALL FWLR (PT 752) P. 1724 @ 1751.

Hold on a sec!

Are u a lawyer or judge?!!

Madam, I don't want to argue with my gf's name sake; wey even fine like her too the joke arguements I have with her is enuf for me.

BTW.....

omojoshy:
My guy calm down, I'm a Yoruba by tribe not Ibo. Hope u are ok now? Let the appointments go round, let's promote oneness and see ourselves as one Nigerian irrespective of race or tribe.

Good day!

My man u too calm down.

Buhari is yet to appoint ministers and people are already shouting and claiming he is biased in his appointment.

For me all those aides and advisers are all moi moi appointments. Na ministers be d koko!

Adaahjacob:
No he has not bn banging, na u bn dey bang. U beta go, I no wan talk.

rationalmind:
I'll answer your question but let's consider this hypothetical scenario before I do.

Let's assume for a second I lie to them I haven't seen them. However, someone in the mob insists they check my house. On searching the house, the man, his wife and two kids were found. What will happen next isn't so hard to imagine. They will only not be killed, I'll also be killed together with them.

The reason you think lying is the only resort is because you have failed to consider the likely consequences of lying.

Now to answer your question, I'll have to be engage them in a honest communication, plea and negotiation which I believe will produce better results than lying.

N.B: As much as I can, I try to always run away from keeping secrets.

But no matter what, we all have secrets. Everyone has got some skeleton in his waderobe which he wouldn't want the world to know.

In that hyperthetical scenerio, as a devout muslim who is know as such by the mob, they would take your words seriously.

If you fear that on the contrary they decide not to; insisting on searching ur house, so you would perfer to give up that family to be slaughtered like goats right in front of you, just not to tell a lie or keep a " secret".

If you do that, you have already died within you before even dying in the physical, your "moral" conscience is dead already.

You said you would negotiate and communicate with the mob.

Negotiating with an angry mob?

Negotiate with them on what terms; that you have them in your house but 'please they should spare their lives'?

By doing that u have already written your death sentence!

Baroba:
Complete and utter rubbish, if half of the people had his compassion, maybe the world will be a better place..

Do you know him personally? For all intense and purposes he might have helped out people in the past..



All Animals deserve to be treated with respect, and I applaud him for doing this..

I do know animals deserve compassion too, but I'm wondering whose life means more to him humans or animals.

There is a woman living directly opposite my house. She has ten cats; she feeds and cares for them. She even pays some1 to take care of the cats; the guy comes every evening to feed the cats.

Never been in her haus but I can bet those cats have a room to themselves in the house with a wardrobe and the bed they sleep on would be more comfortable than yours.

But to pluck orange from that woman compound na die. D orange tree come out from her fence enta road; no b say u go enta her compound oooo...u go jus stand for road stretch ur hand to pluck the orange. If you try am, na police she go call for you. No two ways abt it.

Jus try ask this woman for hundred naira, imagine wetin she go tell u.

What words do u have for this kind of person?

mikolo80:
poverty mentality

Oh now its poverty mentality?!!



Mr. Man, I'm not poor. Infact for starters I'm not in Nigeria; somewhere in yankee.

So u can access my worth quietly in ur mind.

barcaboi:
Even King David left all his sheep to attack the bear and lion that came after his stock. ......U treasure what u have wt u; and who says I don't show love 2 them....How many kids have u adopted?

I didnt say u shld go and adopt kids.

Just saying there are homeless and hungry kids around u who need rehabilitation and care more than that dog.

BTW, if u have helped kids or adopted any, do let us know, not showing us how u cured a dog of rabbies!

tunergy:
Mr Helper, the time you spent here chatting breeze could have been used to help one dying child.
And How many dying child have you helped in your life time.

I don't just understand why people will deribe somuch pleasure in running fellow humans down.
This must be a new form of neurosis unraveling.

No. Its called "knowing the truth and saying it"

This is what is wrong with the world.

Misplaced priorities!!!

Just like the President of Gabon inviting Messi when the money spent flying Messi to the country and lodging him in five star hotel could have been used in building a new hospital for a community in that country. What a shame!

He spent money rehabilitating that dog while some people never see food chop for im area.

My man call a spade a spade!

atoleybaba:
over sabi

Just saying thr truth bro, it hurts but we gat to say it!

atoleybaba:
sorry sir..tho I don't know u personally but ur comment looks like that of an illiterate do u know him or evidence that he does not help d needy around his neighbourhood? Be doing like a hypocrite there and be poking your Nigerian nose into some other people's business until dy cut ur nose off...mtcheww rubbish

Wetin u wan tak my nose do if you cut am.

My man, u seem very pained cos you know I said d truth which is very bitter to the eyes and ears .

I don't know d man in person. If he has helped any homeless or hungry kid, let him show us; wld prefer to see that than a dog.

BTW, I b tink say na mouth dem dey chuk inside anoda person mata?

SAMBARRY:
whatever

U obviously lack SENSE.

Didnt read d post before making a comment; when you are corrected, all you could say is "whatever"

U need better slap, URGENTLY to put those loose bolts in your head back in place!

AtlanticBreeze:
Buhari just went to the US on a jamboree to waste Tax Payers funds. The Nigerians that voted change should be ashamed that even the former presidents visit to the US was more beneficial to Nigeria than a mis-yarning old man going to take pics with obama

But didn't GEJ also to to America; whose money did he use for that trip; his salary?

Taylor86:
D zoo nation killing what is meant to be kept in the zoo

Osun and ogun state...hmmm


Jesus should beta not come in any form of a thief or animal

You are just a sad wailing wailer, still sulking over GEJ's defeat

PROVACATEUR:
Buhari is loosing credibility faster than a man that wants to ejaculatee

On the average, how long does it take for a man to ejaculate?

Taylor86:
photogenic leaders everywhere u go

i wish APC Can run this government without cameras and photos

wetin she go do naaa

buhari kardashian started this picture madness

Gone are the days when we know nothing of how government works or what exactly our leaders do for us.

Gone are the days of thr clueless O
tuoke drunkard!

Hoii:
i really dont have interest in keeping domestic/common animals. I prefer wild and uncommon ones

You should try keeping mad woman at home. They are "wild and uncommon"

playcharles:
normal tin, i did it wen i was searching for admission way back

I feel so sorry for us Nigerians. Suffering and poverty has become normal to us.

Kids are hanging from moving trucks; putting their lives in danger while our politicians, business moguls, pastors and celebrities are galloping around the world in private jets; they don't give a shi.t about us or the nxt generation.

Very disheartening!

tellwisdom:
She is mad. No be fr better for worse??

Even when ur life is threatened.

So if ur wife poisons u, u wld sti keep her in ur house?

DaBullIT:
Does USA or UK or Policia have such a radio?

Waste of resources

U need slap to pull out those horns blocking your reasoning faculty since u call urself a bull. Smh

Make una go; we would stay and do our best to repair Nigeria.

If everybody leaves who would fix the country and enjoy it.

I have no other country to call mine except Nigeria.

I would rather be a lion in the jungle than be a dog in the city.

I no wan see una leg for this country when tins don dey work for us ooo; make una no kom bck dey claim "Nigeria, my country, is the best place on earth". Tah!!! Sharap ur mouth!!!

Thank God I don see your face, na slap I go take close that mouth wey you go use yarn rubbish.

BTW, everybody dey congratulate u on the "green card" level, but nobody dey ask which work you wan go do there.

Hope say no be washing of plate or cleaning of toilet?

butanepro:
Hate him or love him, Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo seems the best we ever had in this country up till date, he's he human , with lot mistakes, but, look deeep inside you will see he's the best to the country at large.

Best in what exactly; bad governance?

Politicians think of the nxt election, while leaders think of the nxt generation

Dannyset:
That OBJ is mentioned in this article calls for a great concern. That man is still very relevant and as such shouldn't be ignored.

Quite a shame he is still relevant.

Oh....! I forgot, a we are in Naija.

If it was a serious country, he would rottening in jail!!!

Luizkid:
but today you can hold 8gig on the tip of your finger...
Moral of the story... Nothing last forever.
