Pakistani activist on girl child education, MalalaYousafzai, who was shot on the head by Taliban in her country over her crusade on Monday, July 14, 2014 visited President Goodluck Jonathan and announced the donation of $200, 000 from her foundation for the education of Chibok schoolgirls who were abducted by Boko Haram.

During her visit to the Presidential Villa, the 17-year-old disclosed that President Jonathan gave assurance that he was ready to meet the parents of the abducted schoolgirls at any time.

In his remarks, President Jonathan said: “I personally believe that since about 50 per cent of our population are female, we will be depriving ourselves of half of our available human resources if we fail to educate our girls adequately or suppress their ambitions in any way. We are therefore taking steps to curb all forms of discrimination against girls and women, and have also undertaken many affirmative actions on their behalf.

“Terror is relatively new here and dealing with it has its challenges. The great challenge in rescuing the Chibok girls is the need to ensure that they are rescued alive.The Govt and its security agencies were very mindful of the need to avoid the scenario in rescue attempts in other parts of the world where lives of abductees were lost in the efforts to rescue them.”

Her Birthday was on the 12th of July. She celebrated by making a wish with young girls


The Director of Operations of Malala Foundation, Shiza Shahid, told State House correspondents that the President said to Malala that “he can guarantee that all the girls that have been kidnapped, including the ones that escaped, will be given scholarships to go to school in other parts of the country”.

July 14 is Malala Day, a day set aside by the United Nations for the world to focus on putting all girls to school.
She said: “I am here in Nigeria on my 17th birthday for a price, which is to see that every child goes to school.
“This year, my objective is to speak up for my Nigerian sisters, about 200 of them who are under the abduction of Boko Haram.

Malala said the Malala Foundation has raised $200,000 for the abducted schoolgirls, adding: “And we want to use it to contribute to those children’s education.

And the same clueless President was ready to meet up with the families of the abducted girls and the same family backed out at the 11th hour. Tell me which sane person joke with the life of his or her children. The opposition should do us a favour and produce those girls out wherever they are hiding them.

In a civilized nation, it's not the job of the opposition to take care of the citizens. That's the difference between a country and the one being led by an inept president who's neck deep in corruption. Would those girls had been his children, what do you think will happen ?. We knew what happened when his uncle was kidnapped in bayelsa. Let him put the might of the Feds for the girls as he did for his uncle when he was abducted. Simple as that. I am always surprised while some people settle for mediocrity .
