It's about, mid night here and of all things that will be uppermost in my mind is the Chibok girls saga.
No, don't get me wrong, none of my relations was among those kidnapped. I am worried because this has become a recurring decimal in our polity. Yes, history do repeat itself.
When this Chibok girls saga hit the airwaves, I was among those that silently agreed with Mrs Kema Chikwe. I also thought about the feasibility of over 200 girls being adopted in one fell swoop. But I equally believed that there was some abduction of girls.
So why am I now opening a thread to critique the chibok saga, and even went ahead to say it has become a recurring decimal in our polity?
How many of you here on Nairaland still remember the MEND?
What of the Kidnappers that held the south east hostage? Almost the same time the MEND were reigning in the Niger Delta?
Okay what of the Mafia boys of Aba?
You think it has finished. So you didn't remember the Bakassi boys that were at a time seen as a answered prayer to Mafia boys, turning around to become laws unto themselves.
What has all these got to do with Chibok girls' saga? It has got a lot to do with it. Today, Borno and the entire North East region are under a siege, by Boko Haram. Tomorrow is going to be the turn of another region.
Today we are advising Southerners in the North to go back to their region, I guess many have read their history books and came across were South Easterners were advised in the period following the second coup de etat to go back to Igbo land. Am sure again that many have not forgotten the series of warning issued during the MEND days.
We can all remain deaf and dumb and watch our country taking over by some bucaneers masquarading as leaders, play politics with our lives. Or we can start a silent campaign in the media and in forums like this to condemn these few who have held the country by the jugular.
Today it is boko haram, tomorrow after GEJ must have gone with his stolen loot, another group of militants/ terrorists will spring up in another part of the country and we Will start another round of criticism.
Am done ranting.

U made ur point I jz knw it wnt continue 4 eva.

I weep each day for those girls. Our leaders don't value human lives at all. Nigeria is a wagon that is been driven by a clueless presido. Its a shame...

Exactly even if chibok is a scam, the sad reality is corruption and bad governance. And thats the real abduction of better life for every Nigerian
