    “I am not only crying for my child but I am crying for all the children.” Anxiety has overwhelmed the parents of the more than 300 boys kidnapped by Boko Haram jihadist rebels in Nigeria’s northern Katsina State last week.http://apne.ws/BfQfekD

        More men hungry for power. To subjugate their fellow human beings. To overcome their inner fears. The WHOLE world over. Rich or poor.

        Buhari and his people must tell us how it’s possible for a militia group to kidnap 300 boys, not 10 or 20 but hundreds at one time. It blows my mind and to think most of the girls who were abducted years ago have not been found.

        Trouble with Africa is the leaders don't care about anyone other than themselfs , that's why Africans and the middle East risk their family's lives to get into white run country's who's values are fair , not the best but fair .
