BIRD FLU IN NIGERIA?

i was really appalled at the CNN report on bird flu in Nigeria.How can a govt agency suffocate live birds and dump them in a dry well? shouldnt the birds be burned outrightly? to think that some Nigerians could actually stoop to pick up the rotten buried birds from the dry pit and cook, shook me to my bone marrow!utter disbelief at the abject poverty and misinformation in our land...
...poverty is such a scorge in Africa, is this an irriversible curse?
Why cant the UN send out a detailed guideline for a proper monitoring of the bird flu spread? Africa is poorly infrastructured and an outbreak of this deadly virus to her citizenry will be worse than the Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster- logically speaking, it will be so easy to wipe off the black race from the face of the earth if we fold our arms and keep hoping it doesnt start a pandemic.
Remember, the church had to pray for Peter before his angelic release otherwise, he probably would have been beheaded like James!
Let us do the right thing and do things right!
The earth is the Lord's and all its fulness, the world and those who dwell therein Ps 24:1
