| #3 - where a recent epidemic of the crippling disease started and spread to 10 other African nations - This is the little gem that hacks me off. Shouldn't Nigeria have their oil producing revenues garnished to pay for the surrounding misery that they single-handedly propagated? It's these sort of repercussions that continue to go unnoticed by the global community. More than just Nigeria's Muslims were made to suffer by their own intense stupidity. But no mention is made of how to obtain justice for this intentional infliction of crippling disease upon thousands of other non-Nigerian people. |
