Today is one of those days when nothing seems to work. In short, I have a WiFi failure, and may not be able to post a support for our girls today, but I will still go ahead a leave them a message. If by the end of the day, I am able to post this message, good, if not, well, it will be for another day. I just want them to know that I have their backs.

I read something really hilarious the other day, I cannot get to the internet now, so I cannot post the link here. It is about what President Jonathan should have said when he visited the president of France over the scourge of Boko Haram. I will make sure to get the link as soon as I can connect. Right now, I will play the waiting game.

My internet just reappeared at 2:00 am this morning, but I cannot find the post, I know it is there somewhere. So I will continue looking, and will post the link when I do. If anyone else finds it before me, please share with us. It was a joke of course on President Jonathan who seems to be taking even cutting jokes in stride. I know I have jabbed him a couple of times, and I will not stop until he comes clean about his stand on the missing girls.

(We will continue).

Today, I woke up with high expectations. I was praying that when I scan the news, I will find some really good news about our girls. No such news so far. I am, however happy about news of more escapees, of women abducted recently who managed to escape.

There have been a lot of questions about these women that were abducted who managed to escape. I have read more than once that their abduction was never confirmed, and now we hear about their escape. I do not want to play the devil’s advocate here but I hope this is not a ploy, a feel good ploy to ease the pressure on the Nigerian government’s indolence and failure in finding and freeing the Chibok girls. When it comes to creating distractions and diversions, I will not put the tactics over the Nigerian authorities’ way of doing things.

This whole question of unconfirmed abductions and quick escapes does not solve the big problem of Boko Haram, or that of the abducted school girls. It does not even make the authorities look good as they cannot take credit for the escapees.

We have been told, just yesterday, to keep our hopes high, that the Chibok girls will soon be free. This is good news, at least, all hope is not lost.

(We will continue).

Good News soon, the Nigerian Council of States tell us this morning. What exactly does that mean? Does it mean we should begin to rejoice before the deed is done? Or that we should heighten our expectations on the return of the girls before they actually do? We have always said that the Military and the law enforcement agencies know the whereabouts of the girls, as now they claim they do. There was no way that number of people could be so hidden without a trace.

The President, we hear is till refusing to negotiate with the vandals. Let’s just assume that one of his daughters were among the captured girls, will he not have ended this drama long ago? He would have been the one offering heaven and earth to Boko Haram for the release of the girls. Unfortunately, this is a case that is so remotely connected to him, in fact, the only connection is that this whole drama is happening during his watch, and so he does not feel the urgency of it all.

President Jonathan should be advised, if he has advisors, and if he listens to them, that time has already ran out for his style in handling this matter, and he should change his style and quickly, without any further delay, bring those girls home now, then we will rejoice.

(We will continue).

Some days the momentum for bringing our girl home are good, some days, information on them is scarce. My fear is that the lean days are outnumbering the good days more and more as those girls remain missing. I was almost ecstatic when I heard that some 6o of them escaped. I was hoping and thinking that is should be from amongst the school girls, but alas! the school girls are still missing.

I am beginning to believe that the Nigerian authorities, apart from their indolence, are simply hoping that everyone regards the fate of those girls as a lost case, and forget about them. Their thinking could align with the thinking of Boko Haram that the captured girls should be considered as booty, and therefore the world should allow Boko Haram to have and keep them. That after three months of their capture, the world should understand this, forget them, and face other matters.

Otherwise, why should it take so long to find and release them? Why is America doing a double talk on the matter? They must have seem the hopelessness of pursuing the matter, according to how it has been presented to them by the Nigerian authorities. They are not telling us anything or giving us hope that the girls will be freed. Why do we not hear from the other countries who are purportedly helping in the search? Why? Why? Why?

(We will continue).

If what we are hearing this morning is true, this is because, I regard any news item from the Nigerian Military concerning our girls with a cocked eye, but let’s accept that it is true, that 6o girls have actually escaped, then Hurrah … and kudos to the girls. It has started to happen. I wished that the escapees were from amongst the school girls. If by escaping is the way the abductees will find freedom, then let’s pray that more of them escape. Let us also hope that this is the beginning of the end.The Military should use this opportunity to swoop in on the insurgents, and finish them off.

The Military should also see this as an opportunity for them to end Boko Haram’s scourge in Nigeria. They should find out from the escapees everything they need to know about the workings of Boko Haram. They should not let this momentum die down. The escapees have shown that Boko Haram is weakening, and they should not be allowed to reenforce or reorganize. Boko Haram must be having a serious problem within their inner circle for so many to have escaped, and it is now left to the Military and the law enforcement bodies to capitalize on this flaw.

The escapees have given them the lead, they should now follow and do what everyone is expecting them to do. Let us hope that they will be able to redeem themselves.

(We will continue).

We knew it, that the apparent weakness of the Nigerian Military will cause them damage. Today, we read that Boko Haram has attacked both the Military and the Police. These two law enforcement bodies, have been showing Boko Haram their weakness since Boko Haram reared its head, so now Boko Haram wants to finish them up and make it clear to all and sundry that they are the power that be in Nigeria. If they can eliminate the law enforcement forces, which by all evidence is crippled, they can then have a free run of the country. That is their plan. However, as I have maintained all these while, Boko Haram’s exploits in Nigeria are wasted efforts.

Not even a part of Nigeria, not the North, will ever totally become an Islamic State. Nigeria was not created as an Islamic country, and she will not become one. So all those blood letting is not only wasted, but will be on the heads of the marauders, and their sponsors. In the end, they will pay for their crimes, every one of them. They will all go the same way they are dealing out to others. That is the law of nemesis.

This is what gives me the courage to continue writing in support of our girls, and in holding them up. They will return. The hand of the grown up dangling a piece of sweet over the head of a child will tire, he will lower his hand, and the child will reach out, and take the sweet.

(We will continue).

The Nigerian authorities seem to forget that today, all the world is a country. What you say or what you do becomes common knowledge as soon as you say or do it. Today we read that the Nigerian authorities have found themselves a new distraction, something to keep them busy from actively taking care of the fate of our girls.
The Nigerian football team’s 2:1 loss to France at the World Cup, has provided them that distraction. They seem to have found someone to blame for that loss, the leaders of the team of course, and they have swooped on them with threats and sanctions. Luckily for these team leaders, the World Cup Organization has moved in fast to stop the charade with their own threats of sanctions, if the Nigerian government did not back off.

This is what is meant by swift action, cause and effect, a lesson for the Nigerian authorities on how to nip things on the bud. If they had taken such a swift action when Boko Haram first reared its head, our girls would not have been in bondage today. And anyway, why should they be harassing the football leaders about a loss, when they themselves are complete losers …

I think it is about time the UN sanctions Nigeria about their numerous failures; their failure to quell Boko Haram, their failure to rescues the girls … shall we continue counting?

(We will continue).

It is now being rumored that some of these abducted girls are becoming pregnant. This should not surprise anyone. Our people say that a goat and a tuba of yam should not be kept in the same room, otherwise, the goat will eat the yam, so, it is not a surprise at all that these girls are subjected to these kind of things. The people holding them are not saints, if they were, they would not have abducted them in the first place. Getting the girls pregnant may not have been in their agenda, but I doubt that they even know that rape can result in pregnancy.

Their filthy, distorted, and ignorant minds must be telling them that if they spoil the girls as must as they plan to do, no one will want them back. But their minds are lying to them, that’s why I call them ignorant. They forget that they are dealing with human beings, daughters that belong to families, with mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters, that it does not matter how much they are spoiled by this predicament, it will never count as something against them. So let Boko Haram continue having their fun, in the end, they will still be the losers.

I cry for my daughters, for they do not know how much I love them, no matter what, and pray for their safe return. What matters now is their safety, their life, not what that life has become. As long as they are alive, their lives can be repaired. They are not to blame.

(We will continue).

Hello girls, wherever you are, wherever they are hiding you, take heart, God answers prayers and He will deliver you, all of you. Be strong. I know that it is hard to be strong under the circumstances you find yourselves, but you must be strong and trust God. He will show those blood suckers the He is God, and His ways are not our ways. Only His intervention can bring this to an end, and He will surely do it. Do not be afraid, in your hearts be strong.

Whatever your captors do, in the end, they will know that there is a God. They think now that they are in control, but they are deluded. Only God can control, only God is in control. When the time comes, and it will come, they will know who is in control. If only they could step back and look at themselves, and see how futile their wasting of lives and properties is, they will feel sorry for themselves.

Just as our erudite and Nobel Prize Professor said recently:”The (Boko Haram) forces that would like to see this nation break up are the very forces which will not be satisfied having their enclave,” he said. “(We) are confronted with an enemy that will never be satisfied with the space it has.” How very true! They will never be satisfied with what they have, and will never attain what they crave.

(We will continue).

I am back on firm ground, but not yet settled. This is my season for traveling, and anywhere I stop, I will send the girls my heartfelt well wishes and support. I wish them freed, and by the grace of God, they will be freed. The whole world is praying for them. I am praying and crying for them, and God listens to the cry of a mother. Right now, I consider them, all of them my daughters.

I have read that some bad wishers in the North are now pointing fingers at the South, claiming that the South wants to destabilize the North, that it is a grand plan by the Southerners to impoverish the already poor north, that the South is supporting and condoning Boko Haram’s onslaught in the North. We know that all this is to divert attention from the inability of these bad wishers to control this monster that they created.

After all, the South is primarily Christian, and Boko Haram marauders are Muslims who are killing Christians. You can see how ironic this new finger pointing is. Maybe this bad wishers are actually saying that the South has not opened up to Boko Haram’s onslaught, and allowed Boko Haram to extend their bloody activities to the South. This is probably what they are saying.
