A man in Kano went to a foodseller. He had not eaten in 3 days. He begged the seller for food on credit.

The foodseller told him he’s very sorry and he would like to help but too many people in the neighbourhood have collected food on credit and his business is sinking.

The man sat there and said nothing.

As time went on, other people came into the shop to buy foodstuff and went out- they noticed the man at the door sitting there sleeping. But nobody bothered.

Until one man came later in the day and asked the foodseller: “who is the man sitting at your door?” “Why is he there?”

Then the foodseller said “oh it’s a man who says he has not eaten for 3 days and he wants to collect food on credit but I could not give him because my business is struggling from all the credit I have already given out”.

Then the other man said: “How much is the food he wants?”

The food seller said “It’s a few cups of garri, rice and beans. Everything may be 2,000 naira”.

The other man said “Alright pack everything he wants and more. I would pay for it. Let him go home to his family and eat”.

The foodseller packed all the food and went outside to tell the man with joy that someone has paid for his food.

He saw the man still sleeping.
He tapped him to wake him up, he didn’t respond. Tapped him again, nothing.

The man had died.
He died sitting and waiting for help.

This happened just few days ago in Badawa, Kano. Some people who live in that area know this story.

The man was dead all along while people were coming in and out of the shop thinking he was sleeping.

He died hopeless. He died helpless. He died a man who his country failed.

If you know anyone in this period who is hungry around you and you can afford a little food or money to give him/her, please do.

Many people are walking the streets with an empty stomach.

It is well

Mehn! That's so sad You see what APC caused like this, no Agbado munching Agbero should come for me abeg, I dey busy tonight

Yes this same thing, same man, same rice beans and garri, same shop happened during the lockdown too

😁

Its sad that he died but that's actually what the country needs now. Maybe it will make people to better be prepared for 2027. When we were warning that bad governance and bad leadership benefit no one, a lot of people called us election losers and are still calling us losers till today. Hunger knows no tribe or religion and that your tribesmen got all the federal appointments from Tinubu doesn't guarantee a better life for you. Politicians and all those appointees know only their family and friends, not tribesmen. Rip to him.

Liar.

And some idiots will still believe, coming with epistles on a tale that never happened.

Nigerians stop this nonsense. We are in 2024 and you are talking of 2027 as if it is tomorrow. Do you know how much damage would have been done by then? Do we sit and die off one by one till 2027? Do you know 70% of Nigerians are now malnourished and undernourished? Literally wasting away while politicians are feeding fat and taking expensive trips abroad? Who cursed Nigerian masses with docility?

Similar thing happened to an Almajiri boy near the gate of an estate last month in Jaba, Kano
He went to sleep in front of the estate in the evening, it was the next evening when someone observed the boy had been lying there since the previous day that they went to check and found him dead
