A camp visit

One of the things that happens to Nigerians is a lack of trust. Quite understandably given our history. When someone starts something, people look at it askance. Of course, they will, we have a history of lofty promises made, only for people to end up with the worst possible outcomes.

Thus I was not surprised that a month after publishing this, I had two people send me Twitter messages accusing me of theft. One of them made the point that s/he had not heard of any visit by Global Rights to any IDP camp. I did not dignify either with a response, and I did not mention to Global Rights that such an accusation had been made, for the simple reason that they are one CSO that I trust explicitly.

As if she knew what I was holding back, Abi Baiyewu, the ED of Global Rights, sent me pix and videos from their visit to Rimau IDP Camp in Kajuru, Kaduna.

We have started another round of FPL donations (you can track them here as well as see the donations from last season’s event), and at the end of the league season, the gate takings will be sent to Global Rights again, which they will deploy to help the needy in collaboration with Sesor.
