Pep! These guysd can mise for Africa with their cheap downtrodden non-lasting fabrics
ReplyDeleteTueh!
If you want 💯 % quality, then you can go to other places but make sure you good amount of money in your pocket. At least they are employer of labour and they are also donating to the needy.
DeleteThat's a good one gesture coming from Pep and SON.
DeleteI do shop in Pep in Enugu, their clothing are relatively cheap, but I didn't think that the quality of their clothes are poor.
Henny tell your people to improve on fabric quality
DeleteWhy not create an avenue to meet with these people,that way you can determine who needs your help...how many of the people who fall under this category have Internet access? How many of them can present a good business plan in writing?good initiative but I advice you reconsider.
DeleteI have said my mind anon. You know every man with different prices, and for the record, I am not an employee of the company. I am in a financial institution. Sometimes you have to reason with organization and individual especially this period where things are going up by the minute. It is by God's grace that people /organisations are employing and also giving out.
DeleteGood initiative..that's thoughful of dem
ReplyDeleteAm so sorry but most needy people don't even access to internet. Why the harsh conditions to give out something to the poor.
DeleteMay God help una. Am sure scammers are rejoicing.
Smh

Na wa o some Nigerians can be ungrateful sha. Somebody is donating things to help needy people in this Buhari times and that is all you have to say about them. Maybe you're not affected by the bad economy that's why you have mouth to talk sha.
ReplyDeleteOnye aguuu
DeleteSave our needy
ReplyDeleteHow can these group of people you mentioned as the beneficiaries follow you on the listed social media handles when most of them do not even have good phones?
Some of them do not have browsing phones, their neighbours will inform them and apply for them, so how do you really want to touch their lives with the last condition?
Do you find needy people on Instagram, twitter, facebook, etc?
A million likes for your comment.
DeleteTalk of PEP, talk of non lasting fabrics.
ReplyDeletePep!! are they in Nigeria? Didn't even know oh. Who is their country manager? He/she must be doing a poor job. A whole PEP in Naija and they aren't pulling weight. Hian!
ReplyDeleteSub standard fabrics specially arranged for the sub saharan African market.
DeleteThat's why Chikito!
Is that really D'royalty up there? or maybe someone hacked or duplicated your account?
ReplyDeleteYou made a lot of sence wit your comment. I would have applied but I don't have twitter or instagram, my phone cannot accept them.
I'm proud of you, Marvella Odili. Keep it up. Always pushing, never giving up.
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of you, Marvella Odili. Keep it up. Always pushing, never giving up.
ReplyDelete@D'Royalty Thank you for pointing that out. We should have added that potential beneficiaries can be nominated. Please do nominate anyone you feel should benefit from this initiative.
ReplyDeletesave our needy, I have sent you a mail concerning my neighbour, Mrs Agabi, pls look into it. She does not have a good phone and not even well educated, the small Nokia she was using fell into water and now faulty. She is very enterprising. When you come, you will meet her and see the small things she is selling, she can barely feed talkless of sending her kids to school or pay house rent.
ReplyDeleteOya Stella, over to you, only you have the right to nominate someone here except you want me to assist you. lols.
ReplyDeleteFor instance, mama Emmanuel, the Ikorodu woman with three kids that her husband ran away, Stella Ogbu wanted to help her with some okirika clothes to add to her small business but her number was switched off. I think she should be helped by save our needy and some other needy bvs like that.
Good
ReplyDeletePls save the needy I have sent you a mail. Pls consider me.
ReplyDeleteMay God bless the SaveOurNeedy (SON) innitiative for their selfless humanitarian service.
