Priorities

Is it for some reason more important for world leaders to show solidarity with the victims and defy the villains of the recent horrible deaths of more than a dozen people in France, than to do likewise in response to the death of over a  thousand in Nigeria?

Is the former tragedy deserving of so much more coverage than the latter?

Will our government apologise? will a higher ranking diplomat march in Baga?
Will celebrities wear pins, and declare themselves newly named?
