        How did that happen? These Nigerians must stop with their stories. Where is the government in all this to protect women and children? Why is the army failing to deal with Boko haram?

        Its a shame for a sovereign nation to allow such activities in its country...then there is no need to keep saying there is a government while the number one principle of the government its to protect its citizens

        Bad script! Should we be grateful to those who brought them back with those bags filled with goodies after taking them shopping while in captivity? Only in Nigeria. A supposed soverign nation lets a "DEFEATED" Boko Haram come in,drop the girls,greet residents & drive away
