Central African Republic Crisis: Over 400 Nigerian Still Trapped in Cameroun

Great Nation! Good People! That was once our sobriquet as coined by Former Minister of Information, Dora Akunyili. But with what we read every day about the plight of Nigerians I wonder if that sobriquet still applies. Or does it? You tell me.

Do you know that even now, over 400 Nigerians victims of the Central African Republic (CAR) crisis  are still trapped in Kentzou town in eastern Cameroun, even though they have expressed their willingness to come home.
