Nigeria on the news again- This is no Bad press talk

        Nigerian man caught trying to bomb a U.S plane, thats supposed to be no news compared to the number of suicide bombers who die everyday in Iraq and the middle east (i.e when we have lost our feelings for others).

       But can we really come to see this as Nigerians, should this give us a bad image in the international scene where we have already been frowned upon for our renowned curroption, fraud, i mean 419, and all evil you can think about.

The same Nigerians that you cannot sign up for a site, just because your computer IP address says Nigeria, the same country that is very  hard to get a U.S visa, its really a shame to think of it.

Amnesty International exposed the shocking level of unlawful police killings in Nigeria, in a new report released today.

“The Nigerian police are responsible for hundreds of unlawful killings every year,” said Erwin van der Borght, Director of Amnesty International’s Africa Programme.

“Police don’t only kill people by shooting them; they also torture them to death, often while they are in detention.”

“The majority of the cases go un-investigated and the police officers responsible go unpunished. The families of the victims usually get no justice or redress. Most never even find out what happened to their loved ones.”

Police frequently claim that the victims of shootings were ‘armed robbers’ killed in ‘shoot-outs’ with the police or while trying to escape custody. These claims are often highly implausible.

Fifteen-year-old Emmanuel Egbo was killed by a police officer in Enugu in September 2008. According to witnesses, he was playing with other children in front of his uncle’s house when three police officers came up to them. One officer pulled out a gun and shot the boy, claiming he was an armed robber. He was unarmed. In August 2009, his family discovered his body had disappeared from the mortuary. As of November 2009, the body is still missing.

 Another view from googling about describes Nigeria as a place were it is absolutely unsafe to do anything because of the nature of its citizens in criminality.

Please Nigerians, i feel we should still continue to hold our self right doing what is good and not blaming anyone for what happens, i really think that Terrorism fraud, curroption and other vices that have been used to characterize us are all global problems that affect or can affect almost any country in the world.

Nigeria will be great, even if our Gorvernment seem to be sleepy, and people seem to be content with thier lifestyle that they just think is normal and the whole world seems to be moving away. Lets look around us at everyone we know and with the beleif that yes we really do have the greatest people in this world in Nigeria.
