Pray for Nigeria

I logged onto twitter and tumbler today and I saw the hashtags PrayforNigeria, at this point I did not know what had happened. I did a little bit of investigating and found out that Boko Haram had BURNT eighty-six people alive including children. Let that sink in, 86 souls that were burnt alive for no reason other than they were in the wrong place at the wrong damn time, despite the fact that they were in their homes and village where they should feel relatively safe. Over the past few months in Nigeria there have been attacks from the insurgent group mostly in northeastern Nigeria and at least a hundred and six lives have been lost but is anyone doing anything about it, NO. I want so bad to blame the president of Nigeria for not doing anything and spending too much time outside rather than in the country but what exactly does that do. This particular attack shook me because burning human beings alive has got to be one of the most evil things ever done by a fellow human to another human. Lighting a match after pouring the fuel or whatever and then setting people on fire. The images running through my mind now will probably keep me awake for the duration of the night. Also where is the media outrage and world solidarity for Nigeria, why aren't people changing their profiles into the picture of the Nigerian flag and most important of all, why is there such a double standard in the coverage of terrorist activity that happens in Africa and terrorist activity that happens in the west. So many whys,but the most important of them all is, why do this terrorist activities happen at all, despite the countries where they occur, why do these people who masquerade in masks and claim to worship Allah do the things they do?. Who can answer this questions?. I am not at home in Nigeria now but I can feel the pain as if I were and the fact that Boko Haram is out there continues to anger me, its not enough to say that one day they will receive their comeuppance because while we wait for that day to come, for our leaders to do something, step up, this insurgent groups will continue to leave destruction in their wake.
