Why won't shell blame Nigerians when we Nigerians foolishly blame ourselves for everything. When those poor unfortunate students were murdered by that village, rightly condemned and the people rightly vilified, Nigerians posted it for the world to see, meanwhile the barbaric practice of lynching occurs worldwide but you never here about it. In south America the police even go gunning down street children. We Nigerians need to be a little more politically savvy.
