Sadly noted - Nigeria has turned into a terrible place over the last 50 years, full of crime, hatreds and corruption. This is just a part of it... the planet is truly under threat.

is a time to wake up to who we truly are, and to awaken with vibrant energy to aliveness its time to wake up! to say enough and with draw our consent to this mindless destruction and hate for our planet and the beings that live here, silence is acceptance.. you can tell a lot about a person or society by the way it treats the beings it doesn't think it has to treat well
if we devalue anything we stand to lose everything
life has value beyond measure
Peace and Love

It is sadly noted. The Federal Government will do anything, even kill its people, so that its politicians can steal more of Nigeria's wealth. The oil companies will do anything to anyone so they can make more profit. The US, UK, German and other governments pretend to care by pumping in aid to Nigeria, but in actuality they are just reinforcing and feeding the corruption that is in every part of Nigeria's government. If there wasn't any oil in Nigeria, none of these governments would even care about Nigeria. That is sad as most of the people, besides its leaders deserve much, much better.

Very sad. So many governments are so corrupt including ours in the USA. They put profit over everything else.
