Double Standards Or Charity Begins At Home

4 million people including world leaders marched in Paris yesterday, in solidarity against terrorism and in honour of the 17 killed by terrorists. Same period, over the weekend, over 2000 were murdered in Baga, Nigeria by terrorists. Not a single event to show solidarity. Some Hollywood stars see double standards in this.
Hollywood actor Boris Kodjoe posted this message on his Instagram page yesterday, and was immediately supported by another Hollywood actor, Marlon Wayans.
The substance of both messages is the double standards which the world seems to be playing. 
A march was organised last evening in Paris to honour the 17 persons who were killed by the terrorist attacks in Paris late last week. More than 40 World leaders including Germany's Angela Merckel, U.K's David Cameron, Israeli P.M Benjamin Netanyahu and the President of the Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abass.
       4 million people marched in Paris

Yet 2000 were murdered in Baga Nigeria. And no one did anything.
France of course organised this solidarity march. 
Should charity begin at home?
