I am surprised the Sierra Leonan mudslide disaster which occurred some days back (with its attendant ramifying effect still very much prominent) has generated less traffic than the Barcelona terror attack.

As usual, the obligatory hashtags and picture posts on Facebook walls will follow.

Meanwhile, over 400 Africans (and still counting) have lost their lives over the past few days and the continent continues to experience terror attacks (daily sometimes). Still, these incidents do not make as much news as say, an attack in a small town in Europe or America.

Are African lives truly inferior?

Are African lives truly inferior? yes

yes African lives are inferior in the present order of things in the world

The hard truth...Maybe because we have failed to form a Niche and build from within. But it is not too late.

That's what they want us to believe. So it's left for us to unite, protect one another and love each other. Judging from how africans treat each other,i guess they are right.

Of course, in all respects African and Africans are at the bottom in all respects.
Sierra Leone mudslides claimed several hundreds of lives, Barcelona attack a mere 13 but no publicity.

When our useless govts have failed to dignify us with a beffiting standard of living, how can we be respected or even be dignified.

We Africans cant even rally round ourselves in times if crisis always looking to the West for help, aid or grants.

When our hearts and minds are trapped in the myths of Israel and Mecca, will we not remain empty? Begging the European to save us from ourself.
