Is the World Ignoring a Christian Genocide in Nigeria? the story is also nearly always the same: heavily armed jihadis suddenly appear in the dead of night. They attack house after house, breaking down doors, shouting Allahu akbar. They shoot who they find. They rape, mutilate, and murder women.

I guess I'm nobody, as are the Africans who come to SaidIt. There's a large number from Nigeria, South Africa, etc.

I agree that when people say "I'll pray for you" is mostly wishful thinking bullshit, that may or may not substitute for meditation.

I also agree that, sadly, Africa is not a priority for most folks of the English speaking world.

However, I wouldn't go so extreme as to say "NOBODY gives a fuck about Africa", as if they're lower than any other continent or people, or if that's not what you meant then I could name a dozen other places with familiar and unfamiliar names. (ie. NOBODY gives a fuck about East Timor.) They're still part of our world and the human race and deserve compassion and respect.
