Chief Mrs. Kafayat Adeola Orisile has described the
provision of foods and other palliatives measures put in place for the masses at
this point in time to fight hunger in the land is needed.
The ace Broadcaster however frowns at those who considered the act of putting such news or gift
items as show-off on social media as being unfair to the donors.
In a
statement on one of her social media handles, she said,
"COVID-19:
Before Hitting hard on Philanthropists over palliative measures
As
at today, it is no longer news at the global stage that the world is currently
battling a pandemic that began from China months ago, a deadly respiratory
infection disease is popularly known as Corona
Virus (Covid-19) which has spread all over the continents, recording over a
million people being infected with the disease and recorded thousands of death
cases currently. What a global outbreak!
Meanwhile,
it is also an open secret that our Nigeria as a country is also not left out of
the scene but also battling with the pandemic, which made the government to set
up some precautionary measures to curb the spread of Covid-19 among its
citizens as part of it is the total lock down order being imposed by President
Buhari in some states and federal capital territory, Abuja.
"As
we are all aware that ever since the surface of Covid-19 in Nigeria, a long
list of philanthropists, Non-governmental
organizations, individuals have been donating and giving hands to the needy in
the society through money and food packages as palliative measures, who
ordinarily cannot survive with the 'Sit-at-home' lockdown order in their
states.
However,
there are some people with this strong opinion that those palliatives measures giving to the needy by philanthropists, NGOs, shouldn't be seen
publicised on social media, reason to them is that it amount to show off for
cheap public praises and popularity.

BUT THEN
_"
*Actions are according to intentions, and everyone will get what was
intended." — Prophet Muhammad_*
The
aforementioned quote from the noble prophet has explained the position clearly
saying, the importance of human intention on whatsoever he does and he shall be
rewarded accordingly.
Sharing
posts on social media on palliative measures taken by individuals, groups or
bodies shouldn't be assumed to be for popularity, cheap praises and show off as
some truly do that.
Some
of these aims are to encourage emotionally and psychologically encourage those
who are well to do to support the cause of humanity by feeding the needy in
these hard times.
"In
addition, some NGOs/Foundations/Trustees do that to ensure transparency and
accountability on whatever they received from people to support the cause.
—
DON'T JUDGE, DO YOUR BIT!
Don't
let us assume or predict someone else's mind or intention because he/she
is the only one who knows what exactly he/she has in mind as intention towards
her deeds or act.
