#bringourdaughtersback

I would like to dedicate this poem to the kidnapped Nigerian girls. They will also one day be free. They will regain their God-given freedom that should have never been taken from them in the first place. They will one day return home and soon experience the wonders of their lives. I love you girls . . .

    Call Me "Freedom"

Freedom is what I call myself . . .

In an attempt to break away from the bondage . . .

I will one day gain my emancipation.

My lips sewn together by the power of my own mind . . .

As I fight the battle created by me . . .

I also fight the battle provided to me by others.

I battle in silence.

Bystanders unknowingly and subtly contribute to my pain.

By I will soon be released . . .

Because I will escape . . .

I will be free . . .

So, Goodluck finally speaks... Nigeria's president has vowed to find more than 200 schoolgirls abducted by Islamist militants and return them to their families.

Speaking from the World Economic Forum in Abuja, which opened on Thursday, Goodluck Jonathan thanked the countries which had offered to help find the missing girls.

I first heard of the 234 secondary school girls abducted in Nigeria yesterday on Instagram but I thought it was a joke or false news.

Unfortunately that was NOT the case.

April 14 over 200 girls were abducted from a secondary school, in Chibok Nigeria. The girls were likely to be kidnapped by the terrorist group Boko Haram.

The girls were part of a mass marriage and shared among the Boko Haram militants for 2000 naira a piece. That’s 12 dollars!

As if the story couldn’t get any worse, some of the girls were also sold off to Islamist militants in Cameroon and Chad.

The Washington Post reported

The Washington Post could not independently verify such claims, and the Nigerian defense ministry didn’t immediately return requests for comment Wednesday morning. But if true, the news would add another terrifying wrinkle to an already horrifying set of events that has galvanized the nation, spurred foreign leaders to take notice, and exposed the powerlessness of President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration in the face of a radicalized and murderous militant group named Boko Haram.

The group, for which Western education is anathema, has killed at least 2,300 people since 2010, according to estimates in journalistic and Amnesty International reports. In the first four months of this year alone, Amnesty International says 1,500 people have died in sectarian violence between Muslims and Christians.

But the girls’ capture and alleged sell-off constitutes one of its most disturbing actions yet. On April 14, scores of armed militants stormed a dormitory in Chibok at night, captured hundreds of girls, and disappeared back into the night. Since, the bungled search for them has lurched from one mistake to the next.

First, the Nigerian military reported that 129 school girls had been taken from the northeastern state of Borno. Then it claimed that all of the girls but eight had been released. This soon proved false. Few, if any, had been released. And in fact, more than 100 additional girls had been taken, parents said. In all, 234 school girls are suspected captured.

Parents have grown increasingly frustrated by what they perceive as a feckless governmental response. Some relatives have launched their own search, riding motorcycles deep into the surrounding forests in search of their girls. “My wife keeps asking me, why isn’t the government deploying every means to find our children,” relative Dawah said.

“All we want from the government is to help us bring our children back,” one father named Pogu Yaga, wept.

The missing girls have ignited a social media campaign underneath the hashtag #BringBackOurDaughters, and the issue has stirred concern in the highest echelons of British society. “We cannot stop terrorism overnight,” said former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who plans to visit Nigeria. “But we can make sure that its perpetrators are aware that murdering and abducting school children is a heinous crime that the international authorities are determined to punish.”

Nothing, however, has brought back the girls, now missing for 16 days.

  So many things about this outrages me, that fact it took 2 weeks to be heard is one thing. The fact that this is even happening AT ALL just grinds my every gear!

Why can’t females in Africa just be able to be educated and prosper the way some men in Africa CAN but DON’T!

Why can’t the government protect the children from terrorist?!

African government officials are so money hungry they look the other way at things like this, well Mr “Goodluck” seems to me like you are nothing more than a terrorist yourself!

I probably shouldn’t have said that but I really don’t care this is absolutely embarrassing and heartbreaking to say the least!

Just look at these mothers begging, it bring tears to my eyes to know that these women will probably never see their daughters again.

    I am praying for Nigeria and all of Africa and I pray all of you do too.

    [What's NOT] 234 Kidnapped Nigerian School Girls Sold as Brides to Militants for $12 #BringBackOurDaughters

They say there is nothing like a mother’s love, and that’s why just the sight of these picture bring such pain to my heart.
