How Unfortunate
First, the alleged looting was not confirmed by official sources. Only a single newspaper carried the headline. We all know the sad state of Nigerian journalism so I wouldn't chew on it.
How unfortunate, instead of engaging in constructive analysis and follow-up on the Bellview accident, this thread is being high-jacked by diatribe-spilling folks.
As Amadu rightfully stated, anti-civilization behavior is not restricted to poor nations but was also observed in the world's only "super power", with its generous contribution of pirates, serial killers, and rapists.
It should come as no surprise, then, to see the desperately poor seize every opportunity to lift them from misery - even if it entails disrespecting the dead and robbing their families. In my opinion the most grotesque thieves are the politicians. But that's another thread/website.
