    A week ago, 110 girls went missing from a school in Nigeria during a raid by Islamist militants Boko Haram. But getting to the truth of exactly what has happened to them has proved difficult. Here is what we know about Nigeria's "new Chibok girls":http://bbc.in/2Cplhi8

        The British stooge @MBuhari who Cameron and Obama rigged into power is facing the same thing they constructed for Jonathan. I'm so sure the US & UK govt coordinated kidnap of chibok girls like they coordinated Libya crises.

        There's no way rag tag Boko Haram can kidnap 200+ girls without outside help. It was planned in Washington and London and executed in Chibok. Now the original Boko Haram has learned too

        Buhari government is suppressing the truth because they have lied to the world that Boko Haram have been defeated. Police harassing the parents not to speak to the media. All to suppress truth.

        This is a pure case of a failed administration, during Jonathan tenure this same news came and that one of the point of the opposition party and now we are seeing it again.

        The school is an eye sore in a society where elected governors and representatives are busy looting the masses resources. Until Nigerian stop accepting the part of suffering but smiling and sycophantic role, the horrible site of classroom and hostel we saw wont be halted.

        We in the south eastern Nigeria don't know what chibouk is all about. We go on with our business and let the power seekers of the North continue doing what they know best. Beside no Southerner is in charge of any military agency. So is the north affair not us in south.

        "There is a feeling that no lessons have been learnt by current administration, which come to power partly because of the public anger over the way the previous government had handled the Chibok abduction, and the Boko Haram crisis more generally" they learnt nothing

        But we were told that the attack happened 2weeks after the soldiers were withdrawn. Here the report said it's few hours after the withdrawal. As for who gave the order? We already know. We should be after the reason(s) for the withdrawal.

        Could it be that Boko Haram wrote to the gov't or threatened them that they'll attack if they don't meet up with their demand of withdrawing the soldiers &allowing them kidnap as much girls as they want? It's obvious that the remaining Chibok girls have outlived their usefulness

        And again,why are they not protesting? Well,maybe the daughters of those that matters ain't the victims.But those that are bearing the brunt ,what have they done?crying won't help. And why is it that it's only the mothers that are always at the fore front,where are their fathers?

        This is a Northern problem, yet you don’t see protests coordinated together between Northern youths and Market women, it’s like nothing is happening around them, the solution to this issue lies with the elites of the North.
