What is good for the Gander is not good for the Goose.

Human Rights, Democracy, tolerance of other religious believes etc are some of the topics, often we hear when the West or the so-called developed world talk about another country.

Some of the big institutes in the so-called developed world, such as The United Nation, Lending Organizations and the European parliament etc are happy to hurl such topics, when discussing an internal affair of another country, especially a poor one.

Let us take the issues one by one and see who is right and who is wrong.

First tackle the human rights issue.

Even up to this moment, many people are being held against their wills in Military camps, without any credible charge being brought to justify their detention.

Who indeed was instrumental in killing leaders like Major Thomas Sankara or Patrice Lumumba?

The list is long and bloody too.

The latest reported case is Binya Mohammed, who was released without being charged after holding and torturing for more than six years in a Military camp.

If they want to export the kind of democracy that they want the rest of the world too to follow, then the legitimate questions that come to my mind are, why certain members have more powers vested than the others in a democratic forum like the United Nation or why the top positions in some of those lending agencies are only reserved for a few countries?

Not long ago, one of those nation’s National football team managers was sent packing for his view on those who are born physically challenged.

 His views did not go down well with the believes of them, but if he had uttered the same words in another part of the world, they could have gone down well, because such believes are easily compatible with the believes of that part of the world.

Is it not another kind of religious prosecution?

When such things have been happening under their own noses for so long and unabated too, then where were those crusaders, one has the right to ask, who are claiming to make the entire world a free and better place?

Practice what you preach or otherwise one becomes a hypocrite.

Those cries that we often hear now days are not bleeding real or genuine calls.

They are made loud and as often as they can because they still want to control us and want to export their junk and toxic goods, values and believes only.

Beware!  those hypocrite wolves are still lurking in sheep’s cloths.

And for them, what is good for the Gander is not good for the Goose.

Isn’t it a shame?
