Why do some Nigerians mourn or post condolences on twitter about the 9/11 incident but no one talks or even remember the Ikeja bomb blast in 2002, much less mourning their death?? Are Nigerian lives less than those of the USA?? Or am i missing something??

9/11 is the most popular date currently.

Lord have mercy.

Yes that is true, but those that mean it should eclipse our own tragedy. Even kids(and adults) born during that time don't even know what happened on 27 Jan, 2002. Our Television stations and radios don't cover it, but are quick to join in the remembrance of another countries tragedy. I guess their lives are more important than ours

that was only four months after sept 11.

it was probably eclipsed because, I don't know.

That is to show you how nigerians like Americans more than their own Country. We don't value ourselves.
