So today I had various encounters in our Centre.
First a lot of people came to ask for water. With the new electricity connection in the Centre, we are hard press to use of card discreetly. Well I thank God for borehole and access to water so the gates were flung open and they fetched to almost infinity! Just on the lighter side.
Secondly was cutlass! Just like some of our items in TLF we utilise to raise funds for the Foundation via our registered business, I also use my many many tools for rental! But after pulling the old lady's leg I gave her, I knew I won't charge her but I wanted her to know it's purpose.
Thirdly was garri! Yes oh garri oh, my Nigeria, turning very hard working people with a sense of prudence and dignity to people who need to crawl for basics. Just as I saw the crowd in the Secretariat of my profession when covid19 reliefs were shared, I also saw the multitudes that thronged Jos, Kaduna, Ilorin, Lagos, Benin and several other states in search of palliative in warehouses. Even though I can never support taking of things without permission, or stealing (as was the case of the private warehouses which were also attacked) or anarchy, I saw that THERE IS HUNGER IN THE LAND.
No shame, no forming or pretence or choosing... people are in need and we don't need a Foundation, a conglomerate of Billionaires aka CACOVID or Churches to do the giving. We can all give of whatever God has freely given us.
So yes I gave the little boy the garri and added chilled water as he said he already has sugar.
May God bless us continuously to give continuously and more abundantly. This in turn will lead more and more people to thank God, believe and pray for us, so says the Holy Bible in 2 Corinthians 9.
