The Hypocrisy Of Nigerians Over Paris Attacks by JSmart4u(m): 4:46pm On Nov 18, 2015 |
i want to share an article i wrote concerning the
way Nigerians are showing ungratefulness for
fellow Nigerians showing support over the Paris
Attacks. The article begins below'
Over the weekend, Nigerians have been ranting
about why we focus more on praying for Paris
current problem of terror attacks and forget about
what is happening in our own country. Their bone
of contention is that they say international
communities did not regard us as important when
Boko Haram started fresh in Nigeria.
This baffled me because with the rate at which
Nigerians are addicted to the use of social media
in sourcing news information, i could not help but
wonder why we easily forget what they
international communities did to support us.
We have forgotten that we became a serious new
matter for international news agencies for months
especially when the Chibok girls were kidnapped.
With the hash tag #bringbackourgirls, a lot of
prominent figure heads and celebrities voiced out
to boko haram to free the Chibok girls and few
efforts were made in the country to rescue them
but were not successful. Where do we start from,
Malia Obama, P. Diddy, Pharrell and many other
people i can't count supported us. But our
memories seem to fade easily and e dey chook
me for eye.
The same Paris we keep saying we should not
carry their matter on our heads like someone
selling gala and yoghurt on our heads also
supported us as people trooped out en-masse in
front of their Eiffel Tower to protest with the #
bringbackourgirls hashtag...
This is no photoshop from the various pictures
you can see. Now because Paris received more
global attention compared to when the Chiboks
girls were kidnapped, i do not know why the beef
became so strong but in my opinion, is not
warranted for.Why? If a person wants to display
serious maturity in any situation they find
themselves in, it is never done with the use of bad
mouthing rather, show support, France will
respect you when they needed international
support. Issues like this, is what they cherish
most and it will develop and improve bilateral
relations between us and them. That way, you
have proven that you are the bigger man and not
all the ranting we are doing.We should not allow
the 'third world' name we are being called to
allow us be intimidated because i still believe that
one day we would be ranked amongst the great
nations of the world. US, Britain, Russia, China
etc did not develop in a day or decade but life na
turn by turn. How old are we since independence?
In conclusion, we are all members of the
international communities and as such, we are
always inter-dependent on one another. If you feel
that you are treated with evil, you should not pay
back with evil because nothing gets solved by
paying back like that.

Most nigerians are naturally follow follow, even if they don't know the meaning of what they are copying, they will still copy. I see it as a slave mentality, they are trying to par up with the whites just to get accolades from them. Lubbish! |
