ReplyDeleteAs much as this sound laudable, are they not creating a list for kidnappers as potential customers?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to them.
ReplyDeleteNothing commendable about this list.
ReplyDeleteYou have wealth yet a major number of your fellow citizens live in abject poverty. When you get sick you fly to civilised countries because your hospitals are mortuary homes. Your roads are bad and will kill you one of these days. You drive your expensive cars in fear and have police escorts for fear of being kidnapped.
You build houses with fence so high and have "maiguards" for fear of thieves. And you call yourselves RICH MEN???? The incongruity of it all.
Empower your fellow citizens. Give out scholarships, build technical colleges, train apprenticeships. Do something; oh yeah foolish rich men.
Gosh:(
The black man is indeed cursed.

So you know how many lives they have touched?
How ridiculous can u be?! A rich man should use his money to construct goverment roads?!
