Ezekwesili And #bringbackourgirls Abuja Fires Back At Maryln Ogar by alVinHustle: 2:03pm On Jul 11, 2014
Following the allegations fingering the BringBackOurGirls (BBOG) group in acts of terror perpetuated by the Boko Haram Sect, the campaigners yesterday said the federal government was merely trying to distract them from their noble cause.

Led by the former Minister of Education, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili, the group said they would not be intimidated by the incessant attacks from security agencies.

Ezekwesili said: “What has the federal government not done against us? First, the police took over Unity Fountain and physically assaulted us. They recruited thugs to assault us. They directed Commissioner of Police, Mbu Joseph Mbu, to tyrannically ban us and hired Internet thugs to defame us.

“They hired ghost writers supported by some editors to publish fictions about us and had the State Security Service (SSS) spokesperson, Marilyn Ogar, spew bile at us.

“In all orchestrated effort to silence us through physical and reputational assault, they helped make our point -that our #ChibokGirls needs a voice. Ogar should hide her face in shame if she has any conscience as a woman.

“These fellows surely make Nigeria look so very unserious. If everything our SSS ‘knows’ about #BringBackOurGirls is cocktail of falsehood, then no wonder our #ChibokGirls are still captives.

“BBOG AbujaFamily that I co-lead has never solicited for fund since we have no need for it. What do T-shirts cost? And our members make them!”

Still on Ogar, Ezekwesilli said: “To think that earlier today, I advised public officials to speak with wisdom. Ogar of SSS responded by moving in the opposite direction.


“How can our own SSS allow itself to be so poorly served by Ogar with those pedestrian lies about #BringBackOurGirls?”
Another BBOG member, Yesuf Aisha said: “That #BringBackOurGirls has a bank account is laughable when it is not even registered. Can’t they bother to get their facts right?

“Marilyn Ogar, your counterparts in those other countries would be busy infiltrating Boko Haram and not a group that meets in the open. The prominent Nigerians that money was solicited from, don’t they have names? Why do you always hide under anonymity of prominent Nigerians?”

Meanwhile, some United States Congress members have joined the clamour for the release of the girls 88 days after they were abducted from their school in Borno State.
During the July Africa Policy Breakfast which treated ‘Instability in Northern Nigeria and the ongoing threat of Boko Haram’, at Cannon Caucus Room (345 Cannon House Office Building), US House of Representatives, Washington DC, the congress members were unequivocal.

Anchored by Karen Bass with co-hosts Senator Chris Coons, Eliot Engel, and Chris Smith, the group were later started a twitter storm, ensuring they tweeted their demands at the appropriate authorities.

In her tweets, Bass who represents the 37th District of California said if the United States could find Osama Bin Laden, then they can find those girls.

Tweeting from @RepKarenBass, she said: “@RepWilson continues to urge that we continue to work to find the kidnapped Nigerian girls. #BringBackOurGirls.”

Frederica Wilson, a congress woman representing the 24th District of Florida, said they would not let the world forget until every girl is found.

Tweeting from @RepWilson, she said, “We can’t allow this story to fade from the headlines. #BringBackOurGirls #JoinRepWilson

“Educating women and girls is an effective way to reduce poverty. Nigerian girls have high aspirations for their education. @ActionAid #BringBackOurGirls #JoinRepWilson”
Also, another congressman, Emanuel Cleaver II, representing Missouri’s Fifth District tweeted from

@repcleaver and said “#BringBackOurGirls! We are not going away. We will not be silenced until they are rescued.”
They were also joined by Chris Smith representing the fourth Congressional District of New Jersey, who said they must leave no stone unturned in responding to this unconscionable act.

The area is under Military Emergency Rule, #BringBackOurGirls had applied to march to Chibok, and the DSS has refused. Where is your comment on that. May the evil you support smile at you.

why should they take the protest to sambisa forest ? Are they the one handling security of the country ? They are only protesting so that the relevant bodies can do what is right.

SSS keeps allowing ogar to shame it, Ezekwesele should be awarded a nobel peace prize, she embodies what Nigeria should be like, girls got abducted in chibok a place jonathan calls fringes, yet despite the fact she is not from the north, nor anybody from her ethnicity abducted she still continues to fight for girls that have no immediate ties except that they are Nigerians like her. How I wish jonathan had more of Ezekwesele in his cabinet, his shame riddened administration would be far less of an unfantomable embarrassment!

Why don't they just rescue the girls and see if all #bringbackourgirls demonstrations would continue. If it does continue then we'll know the protesters had an ulterior motive all along. I'm at a loss why the intelligentsia that should be working tirelessly to return the girls to their parents dissipate what should be productive man hours trying to throw mud at people who intend on keeping this issue on the front burner. The spying business of espionage and creating misinformation should be channeled to where they are desperately needed.

IBB, Sanusi, Peter Obi, El-Rufai, Obj, GEJ, Orji
Uzor Kalu, Rochas Okorocha, Tinubu, Atiku,
Senate President, Speaker, Ministers, 36
governors, Igbo, Hausa, Fulani, Yoruba, Ijaw,
Urohbo, Itehkiri, Nupe, Tiv, Idoma, Kanuri and
other tribes top leaders are all the same, these
people do travel outside Nigeria almost every
month, they are educated and have seen good
lives and environments, their kids and families
are outside Nigeria enjoying the goodies of
Europe, Asia, America and developed nation but
we are here fighting each other, imagine after
commenting here on nairaland you will go home
the same without any change in your life, without
a job even with a job, which is not secured , no
good road, no good schools, no good hospitals, no
good environments, no employment, while those
leaders are enjoying and looting our God given
natural resources . Let me ask you Igbo, Yoruba,
Hausa and others; have you seen any of their
children commenting on nairaland or reading
your comments, No you can’t ‘cos they see we as
ordinary people. Let’s unite, love ourselves, live
in peace, lend a helping hand to one another and
move this great country ahead. Let’s forget
tribalism it won’t help us, let’s forget religion as
it will not do us good, rather let’s think how we
can better our country as we have no other
country except Nigeria. lets find these girls. Every religion preaches
peace, love and harmony so why are we fighting
each other, why are we killing ourselves, why the
hatred. Stop it today and think “what can I do
to make my country a better place. Tell yourself
today NIGERIA FIRST BEFORE TRIBE, I AM A
NIGERIAN. Sing the national anthem today and
tell yourself I believe in One Nigeria. No leader
since the inception of democracy is better than
another, check from Obj to Gej, No electricity,
no good roads, no good education, no shelter, no
employment, nothing is moving in Nigeria and yet
instead of us the youth forming an alliance to
stop all this we are here accusing one another and pointing accusing fingers.
