“Don’t Visit Ikorodu”, Woman Warns Nigerians After A Giveaway.

A twitter user @bimbo_cash who tried organizing a giveaway to help people in these perilous times, warns people to stay away from Ikorodu.

In the video she posted, the people can be seen carting away the items, without any fear.

Next time use mobile police men to enforce order.

MuttleyLaff:
She is an unapologetic socialist and anti-imperialist.

You are even lucky I joined because I hardly comment on pages I dont feature on from word go ground zero, to give and take, second page, lol. The only reason I scrapped that, was reading yours and domini que's input, which were intriguing so why I jumped in, lol.

Tbh, I don't take too kindly to market places with its too many speculators lol. When I get too late to a party like yours here, when it's already on or past page two, I often just pedestrianise and not participate lol.

I get you. You like to be part of the thread’s progression. Una plenty for that table.

Your contribution today is highly appreciated. I will keep in touch.

I don't even know what to say. It's easy for me to say these people are "animals," yet from these scavengers' ends, it could just be a brutal and raw display of survival instincts. We don't know how long some of these people haven't eaten. Nevertheless, however you want to look at this, the action of the aggressive giveaway hounds is not justified the same way it isn't justified for a poor hungry man at his wits' end to rob a kiosk to feed.

Many Nigerians are like this before the lockdown, imagine mixing with them with goodies during this lockdown.

Ikorodu and bad news always.I just don't like Ikorodu and Akute.

It's the yoloba factor.
Very dirty and Cornish.
You can't have a civil understanding with them.
Never.

When are we going to be behaving like humans


What are the characteristics of humans self? Are all these behaviors included? If no then who are these people? Or what are these things?
What do I even know self?

When our leaders starts doing what is right. Nigeria has 0.58 HDI, so we can't expect less. Until we start investing heavily in Education and modernization, these shits will continue

I'm not aloof in anyway with my people bro,i'm only refering to one or two people who should knw better.An example is an elder bro who is very rich today.Many yrs ago when he was in my shoes,i visited him and found out he was using a borrowed labtop to work,without thinking i gave him my brand new HP labtop i bought with my life savings then to use mind you i did not wait for him to ask. I hv my own pride bro and i will be back on my own feet soon.
Thanks for stoping by.

Now I understand better and know where you are coming from. One thing I'll like you to understand is that we all have our individual personality. Some pples need stuffs to be spelt out for them whereas others don't. Maybe your Elder bro falls into the former.
I say a BIG AMEN to your prayer to be back on your feet soon. This is only just temporary too.
Good luck bro.

Nonsense so will should avoid ikroudu because of the giveaway who send you
You doing giveaway to impress your self and also peope tob praise you on social media

People Dey hungry for ikrodu they no care ThankGod they no steal your handbag

Look at what this one is saying

NextD18:
Public giveaway is nothing but scam to reasonable people who understands the concept of generosity and helping.

There's always a hidden motive behind anyone who does giveaway publicly. Quote me anywhere.

It's either for clout, to buy love, to buy loyalty, to gain favors from some persons within or a business strategy.

Behind everyone doing giveaway, there's this a friend on his/her contact list who's desperately in need of help. There's this family member, either from the mother's side or father's side who's in need and perishing looking for help.

But NO! They'll not help those needy family members, but will prefer to come to the public, chase clout with the less privileged and snap pictures or go to social media, chase clout, buy fake love to look generous.


Whatever is it, this woman experienced. I don't care, because if everyone should focus on their family members, maternal cousins and paternal siblings, there won't be needy people in the public for these clout chasers to use.

People should say no to fake public accolades from strangers who truly doesn't give a fvck about their existence and and focus on people in their family tree and people around them. They'll appreciate the more.

Its not always like that


I have done giveaways this period

And it had nothing to do with clout or whatever you are saying up there


Why do Nigerians reason this way bikonu

There are many of us out there who gave out of the goodness of their heart and nothing more


Seems Nigerian folks are naturally an ungrateful bunch

DelTel:
AJ sent lots of food - rice, beans, semolina - to Fela Shrine to be shared around few days ago. From my estimation the rice should be 10kg, beans 10kg and 2 sachets of semolina 1kg which should be around #1500, #1000 and #800 respectively in open market.

To my astonishment, most of the recipients sold the 3-combo pack #500 to a man parked few metres away.

Some companies and individuals have been sharing stuffs to alleviate people's suffering but all ends up in fights, disruption of the process and wastage of the items.

G...n lotto gave 100 bags of rice and other foodstuffs to a community, some elders connived to share only 50 bags keeping the remaining to themselves; the youths of the area have been at loggerheads with the elders and food left undistributed for over 2wks now.

And Nigerians will complain about govt when they are a terrible bunch

pocohantas:
You are right too. We would send this message to Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, Jack Ma and other world organizations. They should focus on their continents and family trees.

Africa is about the biggest recipient of giveaways.

What is all this relative talk sef. How did the concept of village people come about? Isn’t it from people who got burned after going back home to share bread or money? Isn’t that why some people abroad refuse to come back home and visit their villages?

So why are we acting like family/friends haven’t done worse to people. Are these people not someone’s family member(s)?

I think the best thing is everybody should hold their money. You no even owe anybody.

Well said jare

MorningStar233:
Listen to your self, the same maternal and paternal relatives that are not happy you are who u are right now You are just talking, relatives that will collect your gifts and take it to diabolic places to bring you down?.....I now understand y some people prefer to help outsiders, atleast most of them won't try to use your good against u

Leave am na

He is just talking for talking sakes

He does not know what's up.


I'd personally rather burn food than give some extended relatives of mine

I know our leaders have a lot to offer but we keep putting blame on our leaders when things goes wrong whereas we're not better even than them. Any position occupied by any of us now is to loot and commit fraud.

You know what is killing us in this country? Smartness, we want to display smartness in all ramification, we want shortcut to everything.... If you're not displaying this stupidity they will term you as a dull person, you don't have sense, or you can't use your senses, or you're not smart.

Our definition of smartness in this country is killing us and this is the reason to the fraud and some dubious act in the country.

Have you notice this: When you're instructing a Nigerian not to do something that if s/he does it s/he will be caught and these are the process they will use to detect the error. At that point the person you're instructing will be thinking on how to breach this protocol in order not to be caught.

I tire for naija
To be honest we're smart but we are using it wrongly.

No one is empowering ladies, definitely not on a scale to cause much imbalance that fosters so much crime in Nigeria. Last time I checked, the girls are on IG shaking their naked bum and breast. Nigeria needs a total overhaul of its value system.

Exactly

The value system is fundamentally destructiv and wrong

KenModi:
From of the people beget the leaders.

Corrupt and greedy people would only give you corrupt and greedy leaders. Nigerians are the problem, not the so-called leaders.

Nigerians are corrupt and greedy; love to show off and brag; and annoyingly authoritative.

Useless citizens expecting their useless leaders to perform miracles

Well said

Cityguy:
Simply means if you are stranded in that part of town and seek shelter, you would be robbed of all your belongings if they notice wealth on you. Many of them would be in church and mosques 'worshipping' after these atrocious act. Pathetic!

Another thing that beats my imagination

Despite all the bad things Done

They are still religious

pocohantas:
I will read about her. I like to see women like her.
She said the basic truth about survival. I wonder how long we would continue the blame game.
Thanks for the educating link. People like you are always late to the party, why?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_gJwy9yjrk
Poco, hi, you'll like this one. I can relate to what she says here, that a feminist isnt nececessarily a female, lol. I wont say more, I'll let you watch it, as I dont want spoiler alert for you, except say, I countless times have been falsely accused of being gay, just because I stand up for the rights of adult mutually consenting to monogamous same sex attraction until death do them part relationship marked with loyalty, warmth, love and fidelity to each other
cc: eni4real

...That is exactly little compared to what wil happen to politrickcians in office if they dont stop the lockdowns and fend for the nigerian masses. the greedy rich wil be targets on streets

I don't know what to say because I don't want to dismiss the experience of those involved. But I do feel we must remain compassionate despite incidents like this.

However, they should continue to shame that community. That community needs to answer for that act.

SeverusSnape:
I tire for people.

Most Nigerians are not civil, Simple instructions they won't follow, Even so called graduates do the same.
If you do your things gently, They will tell you "Guy you dey dull" or "follow who know road", What rubbish.
This video is an eyesore, It's grotesque.
I support, No relief material or palliatives should be shared there in this life and the next.

That is Nigeria for you! Disorderliness everywhere.

We lack civility and we think its smartness.

Go to Asian markets, it looks good.

All Nigerian markets is an eyesore. If dem never enter road, market no go sell.

ibkayee:
I'm both disappointed and sympathetic at the same time. Frustrate someone enough and they'll act out, right?

I don't know anything about these 'Ikorodu' people sha, from the comments, they seem to have a reputation? Is this behaviour peculiar to them?

No! Not all all. This is a typical Nigerian behaviour.

yea, no one is empowering ladies. I believe you. Hehehe. What are you saying? Why would you think in such a way? No one empowered ladies, next is, not a scale to cause imbalance, were women ever a match in crime. You must be feeling yourself too much I guess..

Girls shaking their naked bum and breast on IG are fvckin' independent courtesy wetin una dey call am again? its a global thang. Again, they know and believe that thirsty niccuz from across the world will always want to see that sexy body and possibly fvck that live hole.
So, advertising their bodies are sure ways for thirsty men to part away with their few or more thousands of Naira.. How many folks send man ynash or breast for IG..

The bold is what every reasonable Nigerian wants, start the movement, abi anybody stop you or any woman, Sowore tried. Abi na just to reply dey worry you.

With all due respect...
This comment epitomizes 2 of the WORST things about Nigerians:

(1) the Culture of Entitlement that your relatives "owe" you support; and
(2) contempt for public philanthropy which is a hallmark of ALL civilized societies.

For the avoidance of any and all doubts...
Don't particularly care why people are helping others, so long as they are HELPING!

dominique:
She didn't organize the giveaway properly. Wtf was she thinking opening up her car for those vultures to dive in and loot everything inside? You just don't park at the road side and say you want to do giveaway, how do you intend to reach your target recipients? She should have met with CDA leaders and who will help in organizing the giveaway. They know those truly in need and will help keep the mob in check. My area's CDA shared relief materials to the less privileged in the area and it was very organized. They went round the homes and shops of the needy to share the items rather than creating a central collection point where mobs will come to fight and loot.

That said, this goes to show how crazy a lot of Nigerians are especially the poverty ridden ones. Are they only poor people in the world? There are many other countries with poorer citizens but you will never see them acting like barbarians or trying to swindle you or steal from you. TBH there's something fundamentally wrong with a lot of Nigerians.

BLESS YOU!

Something else I have said umpteen times on Nairaland...
Been to poorer places in Africa (even Asia), and yet people act with honor and integrity.
