Is It Good To Use Philanthropy To Promote & Market Products & Personality?


Helping those in need is no longer seen as a way of showing kindness to those we are better off, but now seen as an opportunity to promote personal business and personality in Nigeria, and no longer a selfless service to humanity. Please, are we mocking the needy or helping them? We all need to watch our ways before we attract some kind of curse to ourselves in trying to do good.

How can we be using philanthropy to market our business? Must you give to be heard or seen on media? Can’t we give secretly without public announcements?

A certain Nigerian company recently claimed that they fed some thousand numbers of Nigerian destitute children, just to promote and market their company brand, is that fair to mankind? Is that how the whites that we are copying from do their own philanthropy? Why are we mocking the poor in this country? It is better for us to desist from this kind of act before we attract divine wrath, that’s my take on this, or what do you think?
