Portraits Of Shame* by Darevofpeace(m): 6:22pm On Nov 15, 2023 |
* 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 ask her: *"How much are you selling those onions and bananas?* The poor seller politely replies, "N1,500 for a bunch of bananas and N1,000 for a pack of onions." *With pride, you demand the bunch of bananas at #800 and the pack of onions at # 700 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 N65,000 and you pay without bargaining, you gave a tip of N5,000 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.

Stop blackmailing the rich. No matter how cheap emeka sells okrika shirt to me at yaba, I always think I could've gotten it cheaper. Let's all pray to God to make us all poor if he's unwilling to make all of us rich. At least we'll stop whining like bitches. |
