Jonathan, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala Still Silent On Baga Massacre by okok0bioko: 8:38pm On Jan 17, 2015
Jonathan emphatically condemned the terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo which he described as a "barbaric act". Yet nearly a week later, his administration has ignored the attack on a village in Northeastern Nigeria which supposedly left 200-2000 people dead, mostly women and children. The Guardian of the UK has also published satellite images to show the scale of the attack.

Meanwhile Nigerian minister for Finance also offered her condolences to the French people on Twitter, as you can probably guess she too has failed to acknowledge the Baga massacre. Boko Haram operate unperturbed. The implications of this is that nearly two million people are unable to vote thus benefiting the ruling party in the upcoming election.

Why has the president remained silent on this matter? Why has the Nigerian media not reported this event? Complicity is shared by everyone.

Should such a leader have a credible basis to seek reelection in any sane society where we hold incompetent public office officials responsible?

Wake up Nigeria and lets apply pressure on the ruling class.

When I saw it on CNN I asked the same question.

This is anarchy.

People should hear about this, the lack of empathy on a human level is shocking, while it seems he has completely neglected his job and is fearful of risking his election bid.

Instead we have premier league news on front page! We watch football while the actions of the president go unchecked!
