I laugh at these because some people die and others make lot of money from it. Facebook are making lot of money connecting the world and yet many are poor and dying because of big greedy fools. Facebook should just keep all their safety to themselves. |

Such a quick response to Jafaar Jafaar's letter.  This fellow deserves some accolades for writing such an inspiring, thought provoking letter to Mark. **modified** Here is the open letter to Mark Zuckerberg! Dear Sir, I write to register my complaint over your company's failure to identify with Nigerians in times of tragedy, but rather chose to identify with other nations. Sir, I don't want to believe your bias was informed by the superiority the races you often identify with. In any of our recurring tragedies, either when we were bombed in our sanctuaries or social gatherings, Facebook never identified with Nigeria. While my heart goes to the French over last night's terrorist attacks that led to the death of at least 120 people, I couldn't but lash at the folly of Facebook for failure to identify with Nigeria when an estimated 15,000 Nigerians were killed by terrorists in round-the-clock attacks in eight years. I notice a smashing theme you created for your 1 billion users to use in order to identify with a particular people. You are even more effusive when you pin the banner on our doorstep for easy use. When Boko Haram terrorists attacked Baga town in January this year, the death toll was estimated at 2,000. This never melted your company's heart to create an instant theme for your 1 billion consumers to identify with Nigeria. Let me remind you that in a single attack on Kano city in January 2012, at least 185 lives perished, and in Bama town in February 2014, at least 120 Nigerians were massacred. In one fell swoop in November 2014, Boko Haram bombed 220 Nigerians at a mosque in Kano city, 50 worshippers bombed at Madalla church in 2011, and in February 2014, at least 60 students were slain at a Yobe school. Your company didn't identify with us despite our loyalty to your network. Let me also remind you that at a weekend in January 2014, terrorists' attacks on eight Borno villages left 150 dead. Facebook blinked over it – perhaps because we are not the same as the French. On May 20, 2014, car bombs left a gory sight at Jos bus terminal and a market. 118 people were declared dead. We posted the pictures on Facebook, but you turned your eyes away. Even #BringBackOurGirls movement, agitating for the release of 224 school girls abducted by terrorists, failed to prick the conscience of your company to identify with Nigeria. We posted every activity, every sit-out and every march on your network, but you blinked over it. As a company to gives equal opportunity and discourages racism, I urge you to identify with not only Nigerians but Africans in their trying times. Attached herewith are two copies of Nigerian flags for your perusal and consideration. Best regards, Jaafar Jaafar 6 Likes 1 Share |

I think the safety checks reduce the number of these tragedy messages we get? |

The paragraph before the last made more sense to me and thats the sole purpose of this feature. Well done. |

The service will be open to those in the affected areas. You might not see that option if you're not in Yola. Just this morning, I got alert that 2 out of the 7 Facebook friends who marked Yola, Adamawa as their state of residence have checked in safe. Let's keep our thoughts with those 5 who have not. This is a good measure. At least now I know those 3 are safe and concentrate on contacting family and friends of the remaining. Nigeria stay strong. Stay united. **edited** 2 more just checked in. 3 more to go. |

jditimiya: Is it Mark Zuckerberg that is bombing some parts of Northern Nigeria? Is it Mark Zuckerberg who thinks western education is haram? Is it Mark Zuckerberg who is squandering our security budget hence making weapons and counter-terrorist strikes next to impossible? Is it Mark Zuckerberg who is coulluding with Boko Haram to destabilize Nigeria? Is it Mark Zuckerberg who has political and/or religious agenda against the sovereign entity called Nigeria? pls direct your anger at the relevant authorities. 1 Like |

So many people have clamoured for this without actually thinking if it will be useful in Nigeria. How many people in maiduguri use Internet talk less of Facebook? How many of them are Internet savvy? We always see things on the surface rather than actually get the rootcause. |

JumpingChicken: That is not correct, most muslims practise the religion the way they want it, even mixing their local beliefs with it. Only fundamentalist are a threat not all muslims. |
