https://t.co/4Wx4exoUNG When MH370 went missing it was a "global" tragedy carried my news media across the world with round the clock coverage. Humanity and condolence was on overflowing display. Same when terrorists attacked Paris, London etc. 1 of 2.
Stop updating our social media with foreign flags and "candles in the wind" for those who don't care about human life except it is happening to their own. Stop this subservient condolence. When those with white skin lose lives it becomes an event. Don't participate; #Loveyourself
Now the tragedy occurs in Africa; with recent terrorist attacks in Kenya and now fatal crash of Ethiopian airlines, the rhetoric is one of suspicion, derision, non-interest and lack of humanity. Media coverage "everywhere" echoes this. #BlackAfrica has no friends. We should....

โ๐ฟ when people cite #corrupt African countries and use the west as models for #democracy in an effort to chastise..show them this.
@JoeWalk43423523 @sujo777 @anglingking@Cherylbaker@StaceyDooley Perhaps we all start to pull images out...from black and white era to modern day... and yes there is poverty in Europe largely undocumented. But those airmiles to Africa need to be used up I guess.
@cchukudebelu In my secondary schools days an owl flew into a study hall in my boarding school. It met a very painful death. Fear of the unknown is a terrible thing. It is notable that even now in 2019 there is not one wildlife tv program in Nigeria. So how will people appreciate wildlife?
