Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers are with the
people of Boston today. I would like to commend President Obama on his
immediate response to this horrific act. While Americans should be able to
expect the response from the president yesterday, this is not the same for
Nigerians. Regardless of the political party or who is the president when
crisis arises, our President Barack Obama and others before him always
responds.
In Nigeria, there is often no acknowledgment
regarding crises that occur. The only time that the President Goodluck Jonathan
visits victims that are injured seems to occur only when it is of benefit to
the President. As president you are supposed to be serving the citizens of the
country. Being visible and paying respects as well as offering support is a
major responsibility that must not be taken lightly. I would implore the President
Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria to study the actions of President Barack Obama as
well as our USA past presidents to learn how to respond. It is your duty and responsibility!
