Neglect!!!!!!

As we join the rest of the world in this age of globalisation, things might begin to look bright for our continent. We have people watching different aspect of the African affairs, investors studying the nature of the continent and political analysts watching to see what we are capable of. In our own small ways, we are not actually doing that bad. We have countries doing good economically and politically in the region. The only problem is that many people in Africa do not feel the government is doing enough to give them good quality of life. They feel neglected and I feel and believe people in Africa especially Nigeria have been neglected in all ramification. We now have people doing their own thing and not acting as a team.

lets look at this scenario which will help explain what I mean by neglect.
We know human trafficking or any trafficking for that matter is not a new thing in Nigeria, we know people make a lot of money from such illegal activities and innocent children involved in this hideous act. Recently in Aba Nigeria, the police uncovered such crime. They found 42 pregnant girls from the age of 11 to 15. Not only that, they found "young able men" who put these girls in family way.

My anger is, where are all the people who have an inkling that such crimes exist? What are government agencies doing to curb these acts. I say we have neglected ourselves because with all the preaching about HIV/AIDS, people are still willing not only to put their lives at risk but the lives of others. I say many Nigerians are getting involved with unbelievable crimes because of money. It is supposedly that the children born by these young girls are sold. What manner of future are we building? I think it is time everyone of us weather in diaspora or at home to help either by publicizing, advocating etc on issues that really affect the ordinary man in the continent.
