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.

(We will continue).

I will be in the air a few minutes after writing this, but because of my determination not to miss a day of yelling until those girls return, I am going to make this one very brief. I read this morning that a well known business man in the North has been apprehended as not only a sponsor, but an active member of Boko Haram. This is progress. I hope that the authorities will begin to pay more attention to the sponsors as well, to try and cut off the monetary support of this deadly group. Even though we know that the more damage is done to them, the more those girls will suffer. I will write more about this next time.

It continues to baffle me why the activities of Boko Haram is concentrated in the North east of Nigeria while in the North west, places like Socket, Kano, Kaduna there are little or non of their activities, and some of these places are completely exempt from the brutalities of Boko Haram. The government should look into who is being protected in these big cities, and in other cities of the north where Boko Harm’s activities are absent. Their sponsor must be in those cities.

(We will continue).

The persistent and daily hammering on the case of the abducted girls seem not to faze the Nigerian authorities whose job it is to find and return the girls. They seem to have developed the attitude that those still harping and yapping on that matter are barking dogs. And that very soon, all that barking will stop, and perhaps, things will return to normal. As far as they are concerned, they are done with it.

Otherwise, where are all their excuses leading us? At first, they said that they knew where the girls were being held, and then lately, that they do not know where the girls are, that the girls may all have been split up in small groups to make freeing them even more difficult, that the captors may have booby trapped the area where the girls are kept to prevent any attempt in freeing them, that given all of these, freeing the girls may put the lives of the girls in danger if anyone tries to free them. So, where do we go from here?

We are familiar with all of the above excuses, do we just do nothing? Everything seems to be at a standstill. In the meantime Boko Haram continues to dare everyone with their daily and sustained assaults. Their exploits have succeeded only in exposing the ills of Nigeria and in making Nigeria look like merde to the whole world.

(We will continue).

Everyday that passes, I feel like crying out for help for these girls. I suppose, that I have been doing so all this time without actually shedding tears, but now, I feel like shedding real tears. It is day 76 people! These girls have been in bondage for 76 days, and all we hear is nothing about a real plan to free them. Rather, we read stories told around their fate, promises made but not kept, threats that were not carried out, and fears that these girls may never come back. I do not share these fears though, but I can feel with those who have them.

The fact that Boko Haram continues on a daily basis to harass defenseless citizens with heavy weapons, simply shows that they know that no one can challenge them, not the Military, not the government, not even the foreigners who are said to be helping. I do not believe that Boko Haram is so powerful to defy challenge, I just believe that the people behind them are so powerful to hold at bay all attempts to stop Boko Haram.

These powerful people not only protect and shield them, they also make sure that any attempt to foil Boko Haram’s activities is nipped in the bud. Only God knows what threat they are using to make sure that Boko Haram’s activities in Nigeria continue. Every day is for the thief, but one day will be for the owner of the house.
