I sit here typing knowing fully well my daughter is safe in her room sleeping and no matter what, I would try to protect her with all I have and all I am. I have friends who already call me a protective mum as there are some little things I try to protect her from, like pain when she has to do her hair and when she is sick, I silently wish that the sickness befalls me and through out the period, I am down and helpless. I remember when I first heard about our Chibok girls, how my heart bled and I carefully dodged following any news on them as I did not want to hear anything that would hurt me more, but the more I tried to dodge it, the more I thought about it, it was all over the media and everywhere I turned to. I cannot imagine what these mothers are feeling and what our girls are going through…my heart truly bleeds and I beg God that our girls would come back home intact. As I sat home, looking at my family today, feeling content, it was on the news again and this time, I cannot explain how I felt when Professor Wole Soyinka was interviewed by CNN and asked this question “do you think the girls would come back alive?” and he said “yes I think they would be back but they would not be the same, they may be damaged and need psychological help”(paraphrased)…I was broken thereafter. Please Nigerians let us pray for our girls; our daughters, our sisters, our friends… Let us pray for our country, this is not the Nigeria I knew growing up, this is not the Nigeria I call home, if it affects one, it affects all, lend your voice today #BRINGBACKOURGIRLS
and the government is not saying much except we are doing all we can. so why not give us some hint so we are sure you are actually doing sth. I thought those areas were under a state of emergency. how did the group drive through in convoys with our girls without resistance by our forces. whew! I weep for Nigeria. #BringBackOurGirls
Bring back our girls is a heartfelt campaign. But I doubt that there was any kidnap in the first place because there is no evidence @ present that any such thing happened. Here are a few questions:
Why are their names not yet published by the school, state government and WAEC?
2.Why are their pictures not over the news media?
3. How come all 235 students are in SSS3 and all came to write physics examination when the total number of students in the whole school are around 1200?
4. It was announced that the Borno states govt gave N1m each to the parents of the missing girls. If thats true,
5.Why was these monies given to their parents, was it as compensation for the kidnap or compensation for their deaths?
6. On Tuesday 29th April 2014,the senator from Borno said in the senate that the girls has been taken out of the country to Chad, Niger and Cameroon and married off to their adoptors,
7. How come these senators know so much, who are their informants?
8. Why is the wife of the state governor organising women to pressure FG in Abuja after the National Security Council has ordered the armed forces to use all state resources to secure the release of the adopted Girls.
9. I just wonder how 200+ girls can be kidnapped at once.
10. How come we havent seen those girls who they said have escaped on tv?
11. If the Ss3 student aren’t up to 120 in a school of 1200, how is it possible 234 girls are missing?
12. Where are the school authorities? We haven’t seen any of them on tv.
Yest on the news I heard the guy speaking to a white lady who was supposedly in Nigeria via skype and she was saying that the Nigerian govt is not using the aid giving to them by the US. It surprised me that they failed to mention what aid was given. Later that day I read a saw a news caption that the US govt is saying Jonathan never asked them for aid. Who is telling the truth?
Maybe we should channel our energy to sourcing for evidence that anyone was kidnapped in the first place.
@ anonymous, I get your point but by the time we investigate(you know how long that takes in Nigeria) when we find out that this is for real, it might be too late. Btw, I thought they published some of the names of the girls yesterday.
Bring back our girls!
