For the past few days, we have being hearing of female suicide bombers between the ages of 16 & 19. Could it be that these girls have been brainwashed as other suicide bombers have been brainwashed to carry out this bombings with close supervision of real boko haram members to ensure that they carry out this assignment?We can see that most of the mission were unsuccessful cos most times it's only d suicide bomber that gets detonated or with few casualties which is unusual of real well trained suicide bombers.It could be that d instruction given to them is that if they are caught in d process of carrying out the assignment,the only option they have is to press the red button. What's your take on this & is anyone thinking along that path?

Bros, with all d evidences on ground u still believe that the Chibok girls kidnap was a scam? Should I say I give up or we give up?

Bros, abeg throw more light on this. We need better explanation please

My thought exactly!

No. The girls cannot be brainwashed to the extent they forget all they stand for in 3 months.
They could be fitted with suicide belts, but if they are not true extremists they would seek for help from the public with the belts.
Or make sure they do not affect innocent people when it blows.

I hope it will not come to that.

- Can Jonathan tell Nigerians why he terminated the Swap of these girls for Boko Haram family members in detention a day before it happens?
- And why did he not launch a military operation when he pulled out of negotiation?

What if it was a remote controlled bomb & d person who actually detonated it wasn't d girl but someone somewhere standing in a safe position?

Most of the IUDs are detonated remotely with handsets. That's why army in northeast get aggressive when someone brings out their phones near their checkpoint.
They've been using it for ages in iraq also in the road side bomb blasts detonated when military vehicle passes.
Its possible the girls were strapped with the explosives and dropped at a crowded place where they intend to blow and threaten to shoot her if she doesn't walk fast towards the area.

hmmm...sounds plausible. I agree with you to some extent. They ,ay just order her to walk to a point where they want to carry out the explosion.

she knows she is going to be blown up.
why would she walk up to other people?
why not even embrace the guy with the detonator?

I think if she does that, the guy will just take her back to Sambisa where she would be killed like a chicken so as to serve as a warning to other prospective female suicide bombers. That's why terrorism is very difficult & most times d suicide bombers don't have a choice I think

Embrace him and then do what?
If the guy doesn't dial the other handset in the iud to trigger it with electromagnetism then nothing would happen!
In such case, the handler would be close by to ensure the girl reaches the target before he detonates it.
You sat at the comfort of your home and made it sound easy that you would defy a guy pointing a gun at you and giving instruction even though such person is sure of certain death.

OP you make sense.
But on a second thought, the Chibok saga may still be a scam.

They are a lot of intriguing stories. Let's still allow time to see what will come of the whole incidence. Its been 100+ now in a strange land.

Worst still is the action of the international community. What happens to the US spy plane, and others what are their findings that they have decided to pull off without a word?
