Schools attacked

[vernon11]

It is amazing how schools in Nigeria have been attack and students, (mainly girls) abducted, yet we hear very little condemnation from the rest of the world. If that happened in South Africa. OHHHH BOY

Our leaders are to busy to scheme how they can steel more money from taxpayers.
They should start by condemning all the murders of farmers.
And do something about it.

So right Paul, but no one is going to do anything. that has been proven so often. As for the school attacks, the rest of the world are just keeping mum on these attacks, or I am missing something?

I'm afraid the apathy of the world towards Africa (besides Oscar) is evident.

I think you can trace the level of interest to a country with whom and how it does business and Nigeria's oil history is based on corruption. Since Somalia the yanks won't touch them, the UN don't have a mandate and can't even get a hold on Syria and with the Charles Taylor fiasco I don't see anyone wanting to contribute to to Nigeria's crime against humanity and anyway the begging bowl would just come out.

If the African governments had any credibility with their political and independant justice systems the comunity would not stand to rebel activity. Sadly its the Africa way.

Well, also what interests people - 239 people dissapear in an aircraft and the whole world is up in arms, several major countries spending million of $ searching, yet 211 people die in road accidents in SA over the Easter week end and .........

This stat is also always distorted because most are drunk pedestrians causing death misery and financial inconvenience to the car owners and pax. The road accident fund should compensate car owners and injured occupants if it was not because of vehicle or driver input.

Now accidents caused by bussing pax traveling to and from ex homelands or Moira with the drivers doing 24 hr shifts also distorts the stats.
