PORTRAITS OF SHAME

In the market you find a poor woman with a baby at her back you lower your car window and with a military rough command voice you asked her:

How much are you selling those onions and bananas?

The poor seller politely replies,
"K150 for a bunch of bananas and K100 for a pack of onions.''

With pride you demand the bunch of bananas at K80 and the the pack of onions at K70 or else you will leave.

The poor seller resigns to fate and replies, "take them at the price you want. I have not made any sale today, at least I have something for supper now."

She has made a loss but she goes further to buy a plastic bag for you to pack the two items you have just bought.

You order her to hurry up otherwise you may change your mind. She apologises and with a smile, she gives you the items and she blesses you for patronizing her.

You literally throw the money at her and you sped away leaving behind a cloud of smoke and dust which causes a bit of discomfort to her and the baby. She is coughing while securing her little money. Her poverty has left her with no choice.

You have now arrived at the 5-star restaurant where you are to meet friends and you ask them to order food and drinks of their choice.

They order expensive food and the leftovers are more than the food they have eaten.

The total bill is K2,500and you pay without bargaining, you gave a tip of K500 appreciating the waiter for a delicious meal....which you didn't eat even half of.

This incident might seem quite normal to you but it's inhumane...

THE POINT IS:-👇

Why do we always show that we have the bargaining power when we buy from the poor?

Why do we become arrogant when buying from the poor?

Why do we become stingy when buying from the vulnerable?

Why do we show generosity to those who do not even need our generosity?

Why do we become polite when buying from the rich who view our money as mere change?

Why do we channel money to a sea of money?

Please buy simple goods from the poor people at high prices....do it deliberately.

Sometimes, pay extra for the items you buy from poor women...you are only blessing them in your little way

Please where possible buy items from local markets.

To everyone reading this, please, everytime you see them in traffic, taxi parks, bus stops, on the streets....just buy!

Don't bargain. They are not looking for money to buy expensive clothes or mansions or cars, but to feed their children back home and pay school fees.

Please let's support the less privileged🙏🏽

*FOOD FOR THOUGHT!*🤔👌

```Unless you understand your role in society, you can never make any meaningful contribution.

According to the Greeks there are three types of people on earth:
- the idiots,
- the tribesmen, and
- the citizens.

Studies show only 10% of Africans are citizens.
The remaining 90% are either tribesmen or idiots.

2. When the Greeks used the word "idiot", they did not use it as a curse word.
Idiots are people who just don’t care.
If they write exams, they will cheat.
If they are in government they will steal.
An idiot does not care at all, if he eats bananas he throws the peels anywhere instead of putting them in a trash bin.

According to the Greeks, some societies have more idiots than tribesmen and citizens.

3. The next set of people are "tribesmen", these are people that look at everything from the point of view of their tribe.

These are people that believe in you only if you are part of their tribe.
It can be terrible to have a tribesman as a leader, he will alienate the rest.

When the Greeks talk about tribes, it’s not just about ethnicity, they also consider religion as a tribe.
A great percentage of Africans are tribesmen, because they view everything from the point of view of their tribes.
They trust only their tribesmen.

4. The last group are "citizens".
These are people that like to do things the right way.
They will respect traffic light rules, even if no one is watching them.
They drive within speed limits.
They respect the laws, won’t cheat in exams.
In government they won’t steal.
They are compassionate and give to others to promote their wellbeing.

Citizens often promote projects that benefit everyone.
The Greeks called this group the citizens.

Some countries have more citizens than tribesmen and idiots.
Others have so many idiots.

A tribesman can become a citizen through orientation.
And an idiot can become a citizen by training and constant enforcement of the law.

But things fall apart if you elect an idiot or tribesman to lead you if he has not been reformed.

Where do you belong?
Are you an idiot, a tribesman or a citizen?

Reflect about your life.
Reflect about your country and Africa in general before you answer.

Food for thought.```

A man slaughtered a big cow 🐄 , lit 🔥 the grill and said to his daughter.

“Daughter, call our relatives, friends, and neighbours to eat with us... let us feast!"

His daughter took to the street and started shouting.

“Please help us put out a fire 🔥 at my Dad's house 🏠 !".

After a few moments, a small group of people came out and the rest acted like they didn't hear the cry for help.

Those who came ate and drank until late.

The stunned father turned to his daughter and said to her.

“The people who came I barely know them, some I had never seen them before, so where are our relatives, friends, and neighbours ?".

The daughter said.

“Those who came out of their homes 🏠 came to help us put out a fire in our house 🏡 and not for the party 🎊 .

These are the ones who deserve our generosity and hospitality".

Conclusion:

Those who don’t help you during your struggle, shouldn’t eat with you at your victory party!!
