Good to see you back.
Glad you liked the name change and minor cosmetic updates. Also glad you got in before I distribute the rewards for this week. Then again, if you post late you'll still get something next week :)
As for the current situation. I didn't know that there were major issues with people in the north being displaced and having to live in camps. Hunger I knew about. People fighting for enough money for food I knew that too. Banditry especially in the north, that's new. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
As for giving aid now or helping development for later. It truly is a tough choice but the problem is people only have so much to give. As you said, if you give a child food now without education and prospects you are just feeding a future thief or bandit (future problem). However, how could you live with yourself if you let a child starve.
Tough decisions to be sure!
Anways, thanks for posting.
I've asked #hivepakistan to curate this post and look forward to seeing you back again in the future :)
The banditry in the North is a serious issue. Just a few weeks ago, in the effort to exterminate the bandits, the Nigerian Army mistakenly dropped bombs on innocent civilians gathered to have a celebration overnight. The village is about 10 km distance from mine. Many farmers can't access their farmland because of the fear of being killed. In some cases, they pay some levy to the bandits before having access to harvest their farm produce. We hope and believe that Nigeria will stand strong and defeat all her enemies.
The choice of handouts or hands up is really tight in some instances. Whatever is the case, the bottom line is that one should cultivate the habit of giving.
Thank you for recommending my post for curation. I appreciate.
