Question

Question: is a Nigerian's life worth less than the life of any other human? In a senseless act of terrorism, 12 journalists were ruthlessly murdered in France. As you would expect in a sane world, the world mourns, humanity unites, men, women and children of all ages walk in unity as a symbol of France's defiance towards any acts of terrorism. Countless number of lives are lost daily in Nigeria. The president of Nigeria is still unable to visit some parts of the country because in his words "it is not safe".  So I ask again is a Nigerian's life worth less than the life of anyone else? Are we Nigerians letting ourselves down by burying our heads in the sand instead of standing up for ourselves?

    Unfortunately, the bombing and the killing have become so often that we no longer seem to be appalled by them. When they occur, we simply read it in the news and move on. Quite disheartening.
