lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, it is with great sorrow that we follow the events in Nigeria. I was among those who believed that the election of President Obasanjo some years ago would usher in change. This latest report and discussion is just one in a long line indicating that the security forces are not acting as they should and that the causes are not being investigated. There are reports that some years ago the president was in principle calling for all those belonging to the Oodua People's Congress, that is, several hundred people, to be fired upon. still classes Nigeria as the second most corrupt country in the world. The figures for child labour and trafficking in children are highest in Nigeria. If we were really sincere about these matters, we should now also call on the ambassadors to take steps in Nigeria to publicise the fact that Amina Lawal is welcome in any European country. We should act to say that she can come here, that we, as Europeans together, are prepared to save her. That is the only honourable way to proceed. I would ask the Commissioner to consider speaking with the ambassadors."@en1
