As always John Iteshi refers to 'white racism' being the reason for people demanding action over Zimbabwe. Comparing Nigeria with Zimbabwe is like comparing apples with bottle tops.
No one disputes that corruption in Nigeria is endemic and damaging. I know because I have been there and seen and experienced it at first hand. However only a shallow person could deny the atrocities taking place in Zimbabwe. Food is used as a weapon, people are beaten and killed for opposing the Mugabe government and the nation has been ruined to such an extent it cannot provide enough food for itself let alone its former export market.
Iteshi is guilty of terrible moral relativism as well as racism. I make no apology for putting more emphasis on preserving human life and ending injustice in Zimbabwe - where people are at risk of starvation and are having their homes bulldozed to drive them out of certain areas - than corruption in Nigeria which is far less urgent in comparison.
The argument that it is racist for people to prioritise their attention supposedly because of white farmers, is wrong and a deception. DO not forget Britain was giving Zimbabwe the money to pay the farmers to vacate the land they farmed. The farmers are not the issue. The issue is the immediate threat to the lives of black Africans who do not support Mugabe.
I wish Iteshi would stop his deceptions by suggesting otherwise.
