Abducted school girls: FG has failed us, Chibok elders say
The whole scenario is unfortunate. I feel for the girls and their parents. Thank you Daily Trust for keeping the issue alive by the counts on your newspaper’s front page. However, if we can learn from history, when similar event happened in Uganda on October 10, 1996 in Aboke, Northern Uganda, when 139 female students from St. Mary’s College boarding school were abducted by rebels of the LRA, it was the deputy headmistress of the college, Sister Rachele Fassera, from Italy, that pursued the rebels and negotiated the release of 109 of the girls. I believe in this particular case, it’s pleading and negotiation spearheaded by women group that will produce result, not military action. Please let’s be very careful, because haste can be dangerous. Painful as it is, a good result is what matters.

I still believe the total number of girls missing is not up to what these villagers are quoting. The unfortunate thing is that the press is not asking the right questions; like how many students registered for WAEC from that school; what subject did they take that day; and the subject for the next day. By the time WAEC/NECO gives us their figure, it should be clear the number of students missing; since only SS3 students where in the school during that sad day.

This situation is worse than death. I heard a confession on video by one of the arrested insurgents where he admitted to subjecting the female abductees to sexual abuse and molestation. Government, please do something now.

deenbash@yahoo.com ************************** It seems the Chibok elders are politicising the unfortunate but fundamental issue of the missing girls. How can they blame the federal government alone for the yet-to-be found missing girls? What about the state and the local governments that are closer to the incidence. Please, let us avoid this politics of blame and counter-blame and all hands should be on deck towards getting the missing girls and quickly, too.

Any serious minded and people-oriented government would have solved this matter once and for all or simply resign and allow real leaders to lead the country

Now we know we do not have any hope of security in our government. What a shame!
