The angst over the abducted girls in Chibok,Borno state in North East of Nigeria will not abate either now or soon.Nearly three weeks after their abduction by Boko-Haram,about 200 of these young school girls are yet to be released.The figure would have been more than that if not for the bravery of some of the girls who escaped from their captors.
Now the clamour for the release of the girls has gone viral on the net.On twtiter there is now hashtag bringbackourgirls.On the streets of major cities in Nigeria,women groups and concerned citizens have embarked on protests for government to take drastic action to rescued the girls.There is so much agony in the voices of parents of the girls.
The unfortunate thing about this national problem is about government helplessness.The security of everyone now is by everyone.This government must do something now.We cannot wait a day longer.
Painfully, unconfirmed reports says the girls have been married off to the blood thirsty group.The girls must have been taken beyond our borders into neighbouring Chad,Sudan,Niger etc.
In a sane society,heads would have rolled.In Nigeria,people don't resign even if they have failed woefully.The military should be given a time frame for delivery of the abducted girls to their parents.
