HOW CAN WE CLAIM TO BE MAKING PROGRESS WITH PEOPLE SUFFERING LIKE THIS?

I saw these pictures in the late hours of last night. What I felt instantly was a mixture of pity and anger. Tears choked my breath at the sight. How can we claim to be making any progress on earth with people still suffering in this manner? I live in Africa. Although, we claim that Nigeria is the giant of Africa, I have seen intense poverty in this country. A country blessed with so much yet poverty engulfs men, women and children everywhere like an epidemic. People eat garbage and call it food. In this country, people still earn less than $50 after slaving for a month and yet pay heavily for transportation out of the meager paycheck. The cost of feeding is outrageous in this part of the globe. I will not mention the coffin people eat and sleep in everyday – take a look at the pictures below. Do you call these homes? Little wonder Africa suffers from the world’s deadliest epidemics. I speak of what I have seen here. I am sure many countries can identify with this too. I wonder how people enjoy their sleep in a comfy waterbed when there are others sleeping in the street with nothing to eat tonight. Maybe it’s only me thinking like this.


We really cannot allow the unprivileged in our society to wallow in penury alone. Nah! We cannot allow them to depend on the government and oftentimes stingy employers to decide where their next meal will come from. We’ve got to lend a hand to those around us. The economy of the world is really bad, we may just be the good thing people are gonna see in the coming month or years.


Today’s post is a call to all and sundry, to share with those in need in our environments. Quit storing up wealth and start sharing no matter how little. The joy of making someone smile is more comforting than amassing wealth. I implore people of every country not just residents of Africa. Wherever you are, there are people in need. The time is now to cease looking for what you can do for them and be the miracle to someone.


God help us. I hope you take action after my pictorial post today.


HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK HE'S GONNA HAVE FOR THIS?

OMG! ARE THEY PLAYING IN THIS WATER?

FATHER & SON EATING & SLEEPING IN DUNGHILL

GOD PROVIDE FOR US

GOD HELP US

IS THIS A BATHTUB?

THIS IS THE WATER THEY DRINK

THIS IS A COMPLETE FAMILY ON A BIKE

GOD SAVE OUR CHILDREN

I do not write or display this pictures to spite the poor but to remind all of us that there are people constantly in need around us - we often forget. it may not be as serious as this where you are but people are in need and they need the little you can offer. let's share.

God Bless. I'm out.

NEVER EVER LOSE HOPE + IS IT REALLY A MAN’S WORLD?

If a man loses everything in life, he must never lose hope. Hope means having dogged confidence that something good will happen to you any minute even if there are no signs that they will. With hope, we can still motion in the most discouraging moments of our lives; we can see light in the midst of the hellish of darkness and we can smile when there are no reasons to. With hope, we can light on the candle of faith, peace and love in our lives again.


Some months ago, all I had in my life was hope. I had lost everything – love, faith and peace. But within my heart shines a little light of hope that assures me that every minute carries with it a potential for change. That little light has lightened my LOVE, FAITH AND PEACE once again. The man without hope, though influential, is dead. My bible says “…a living dog is better than a dead lion. No matter how poor a man is, with the fire of hope still burning within his heart, no one can predict his destination. Thank God for HOPE. It’s one of God’s most beautiful gifts to mankind. Without hope, man lives like corpse and suicide is inevitable.


Is your body battered by sickness as chronic as cancer or AID? Have you lost your sweetheart of many years? I have and it kept me away from relationship for two years but now I have better love. Are you among the millions losing their jobs and money in this economic meltdown? Have you lost someone dear to you to death? My one penny advice is to keep the fire of hope shining because with it you can stay alive and get back all that you have lost. Remember the story of Job in the bible – he got back what he lost.


You confession everyday should be: Though my body is ravaged by sickness and poverty. I know my redeemer lives and he will make a way for me where there seems to be no way. God always does. He has done that for me and I know He is doing your too. NEVER EVER GIVE UP HOPE. I hope this picture help you see better.























IS IT REALLY A MAN’S WORLD?

When a woman Cries ------------The World "Consoles" her


But when a man cries ---------- They say Come on man don't be A "Girl"


If a woman slaps a man ----------- Definitely the man would have "done

something"


If man Slaps a girl -------------- Rascal doesn't know how to "Respect Ladies"


If a woman is talking to men ----- She is "Very Friendly"


If a man talks to a woman ---------- He is "flirting"


If a woman meets with accident -------------------- Then its "mistake of others"


If a man meets with same accident -----------?- --?------ "Don't you know how to Drive"


What kinda life is this? God help MEN.


I’m out. See you soon.
