God bless his soul. One of the few good people left in this country.

The irony is that an slowpoke would consider me a cretin for pointing out the obvious: an act of kindness at great cost inspires others.
I won't bother asking you which of my sentiments are illogical, because I can see right through your posts at the sorry state of your intellect.
Did you notice how many people were moved to tears by his simple act, or are you too busy choking on your cynicism?
Remain cynical and stupid if you will, but don't blame our outlook for your dark view of the world.

You even have time for that low life of a dude. Mocking someone that was offering such wonderful act of kindness. That's why I went after him. He is nothing but a very terrible person.

I won't go to gutters like you. That gala seller is so much blessed than you. At least he is a giver. I know your types and the funny thing is that your types don't even have anything when it comes to material things.

Bill Gates still have his life. He is still a living human being. He is still amassing billions and he is still giving away fortunes!!
Now run along poor minded folk like you.........


And mind you I have a close associate that hawked things when he first came to this town but today he lives in banana island. And the kind of money he has given away you can't make it in 3 lifetimes.. Now run along small minded fellow.

you have made Absolute No sense, it's good to know that what people who reason like you have to offer are Derogatory comments, Ridiculous Assumptions and Insults, and you didn't disappoint i guessing you have given to millions of poor people like me today otherwise. please be kind to extent you charity to a poor guy like me, Good luck.

Oh! i take it you are also a billionaire. you care so much you haven't bothered to find out why these prisoners are imprisoned in the first place, most of them could be innocent, or why they are not been fed by the prison Authorities who are paid to feed and care for them, as long as they get free Gala for few minutes it's okay. After that free gala what happens next? were will they get the next food or gala, you are so compassionate and giving you haven't thought about that. Thanks for the insults by the way. you are such a nice guy!

I decree that before the end of this year, that he will be uplifted financially and otherwise

I may have not because swines and pigs cannot value Prescious things, because you can only give what you have. And by your statement thus far you have no iota of sense of value, decorum or manners so tag along.
But anytime I see very foolish comments I will come after such a fellow with all I have got. Aurevoir

thank you! very much for the insults keep them comming, you obviously have nothing else reasonable to add,

Did you care why those guys are imprisoned in the first place? or why they are not fed by the Authorities who are supposd to feed them, they are probarbly innocent, but that doesn't matter because according to you, as long as they eat Gala for few minutes it's okay, so were will they next meal or gala come from?

The reason why you come online and type rubbish is because some of you have not understood life. When you get to understand life, you will become humbled. When you see someone in one act of kindness gives away your entire lifetime hustles.

See there is more to this life than coming to Nairaland to mock someone doing a good thing.

[s]Gypsey, you don't sound like a really bad person, so I'll offer this advice: let it go. You can't win them all, and you obviously came down on the wrong side of this issue. Don't take my word for it. Scroll through the posts and find out how many people have been inspired.
The more you try to dig in, the more you come across as a [I don't want to use strong language].

With all that is happening in Nigeria, we still have people who would risk their lives for others (just like the brave heart who drowned in Rivers a few weeks back).

Cynicism may say they are fools, but they are not. I assure you that at least a couple of those prisoners today would take that act of kindness to their graves (because that is just how things work for some people). Please learn not to see a man who wasted ~N2000 gala. See instead the proof that we all can inspire ourselves with simple acts.

And knock off this pointless back-and-forth (Just my opinion o, no vex).[/s]

Have you ever entered a Nigerian prison before? Do you know that majority of people in our prisons have no reason to be there.

I am talking as someone that is conversant with prisons in Nigeria. And I have never ever in my life had police case before. But I do visit prisons sometimes every month. I visited one last month and met with the controller of that particular prisons I visited in person. To see the challenges they go through

you are right, i am not a criminal so i will never be imprisoned or starve to the extent of considering a gala hand out, only imprisoned criminals needs free galas.

Amidst the incessant kidnapping, robberies, scam and all manner of crimes always gracing naija news pages, a story like this just gives that much needed assurance, even if slightly, that there's hope for Nigeria. May God bless him

Good to see a comment from a real human being that understands what life is. Not some low life coming on line to mock his maker.

[quote author=IamHeWrites post=70796717]A Gala seller moved people to tears by his actions when he spotted a group of prisoners in a van stuck in traffic.

The prisoners were being transported in a Nigeria Prison Service van heading to Ikoyi Prison but were stuck in traffic. As usual, the prisoners stretched out their hands through the tiny holes by the sides of the van and the Gala seller's next action surprised everyone.

He took the Gala he was selling and began distributing to the prisoners for free. When the van began moving, he dropped his basket by the side of the road, grabbed a handful of Gala and ran after them to make sure everyone gets a share.

His kind acts got him the attention of other road users and someone who was moved by his action, shared the story.

Read the story as narrated by an Instagram user below;

Hello OP, in case you by any chance come accross the gala boy again kindly get his details and get back to me privately. Thank you.

Somkaebu:
you are intelligent ABI.

yes! i am!! surprised? what does ABI means?

enemyofprogress:
So fokn what?

I wonder oo!

MVLOX:


like Jesus who said there is more happiness in giving than in recieving, i rather be a giver/share of D little i have and be happy than to be rich stingy nd misery

be careful what you wish for.

Believe me I want to meet this gala guy.asap

marvinsync:



lol feeding the prisoners

isn't that illegal?!

but still how is that nice? , do u know what some of them did to put them there?!
for all we know u could be feeding a skull miner

This isn't the time to be judgmental.

Many who are sent to prison are innocent and awaiting trial. Feeding is pitiful and many die.

Our father in heaven makes the sun rise on the Yoruba and the Igbo, and he makes the rain fall on the good and those who are not good at all.

May His kindness fall on us all including you and me.

May we extend it to others as well.

gypsey:
Don't even bother to school that self righteous cretinous judgemental individual, he/she is full with so much Ilogical sentiments.

You see most nairalanders will stay behind the keyboard and create the illusion they want without even taking sometime to think about what they typed. That galaman is one very luck man especially in a country like Nigeria. The odd on him being shot is a high one. Case is that he is trying to poison the criminals to evade justice. I have even seen cases where someone didnt even go close to the van and he is shot.
Take sometime to visit Nigerian prison and you will be surprised at the tale of the inmates.
Most people you see on the screen with guns in the front testifying even to the crime are innocent. See if Nigerian police torture you heen you go talk say na you kill nnamdi azikiwe.
Though he has good intention but he went the wrong way. People will celebrate you while you are alive but otherwise when dead. you are better hungry and alive to your family but a liability when dead. Lets try not to get ourselves in harms way for the sake of our loved ones.
