        @monmeow replace 'girls' with 'athletes' and 'nigeria' with 'literally any non-african or non-middle-eastern nation'

        @BBCBreaking It is not mentioned: were those girls Muslims or other? There are some odd omissions in all reports. Give some facts @BBCWorld

        @matunos @BBCBreaking @BBCWorld It matters in that these kidnappings have a religious dimension evident in the name Boko Haram:West Corrupt.

        @matunos @BBCBreaking @BBCWorld Slavery is against Christian belief. It is a crime compounded by this factor.
