COME ON......WHY SHOULD WE CARE......

            ''THIS IS AFRICA......NOBODY CARES WHAT GOES ON IN AFRICA...."
                                       This is a line from the movie, ''Sahara''.

In this movie you have the director of a waste treatment plant, who hooks up with an African
     War Lord, to dump the waste in a river, and split the difference....However.....African
people who live near  this plant were dying from this dumped waste, and when the director talked
     to this War Lord about being found out by this, the War Lord said "This is Africa...Nobody
cares what goes on in Africa".    Africa is being plagued with HIV and the Ebola viruses, and
     now, in Nigeria, are being plagued with the taking of its female children,  from a school.

During my Law Enforcement career, I handled cases that involved people from Africa, especially
   Nigerians.   The Nigerians I worked with, were mostly so caring about their children, and the
family structure.  So you tell me, WHY SHOULDN'T THEY BE.  Because their black, and came
   directly from Africa, and speak with an accent.  Just for the record, I'm white.  The U.S. used
to be called, "The Land Of  Plenty".   Yes, there are many of us who make personal contributions to 
   help many of the charities who work there, and that should continue, many times over.

The Nigerian government is complacent, fat, and corrupt.  All of  us who have the heart of a parent
   should support those who have the heart of a parent in Nigeria, should contact them, by whatever
means possible, just to let them know that they're in our thoughts and prayers...BUT...
    contributions to this area should be done through well established charities.  I'll tell you this;
That contact you make will give them hope, in knowing that someone truely cares, and that they're
    not in this alone.  I have a saying, "In climbing the ladder of life, the first rung going up is Hope,
and it's the last rung going down".
