        Nigerian government is releasing this news in a time when there are killings of innocent citizens in Benue State. Are Nigerians expected to be happy and sad at the same time? This news is not worth to be on social media and it should be disregarded. #StopBenueKillingsNow

        I thought chibok girls abducted were writing waec? This one's 14 so how come? She was writing waec at 10? Anytime issues come up, they bring up this chibok story to distract us. @Mbuhari can we go back to the herdsmen killings in Benue and fuel scarcity, we wnt be distracted
