129 days after, the girls from Chibok are still being held by their cruel captors. Government has assured and reassured of their release, politicians have capitalized on the ordeal of these helpless girls to score cheap political points. Allegations and counter-allegations have not been hard to come by, but in the midst of it all little progress has been made. They are still locked away, their fate unknown.

More alarmingly, the few voices truly speaking for them are beginning to wane. It is increasingly becoming harder to hear them in the midst of the noises around: noises of 2015 elections, of Ebola, of impeachments, of political alignment and realignment - we have never been short of those noises! We have simply put the incident behind us and moved on, waiting for the next tragedies that will compete for our attention. We are no strangers to them. It seems we have been configured to handle only one problem at a time.

What did these girls do to warrant this abandonment from us? Oh, their 'sins' are many: for being born in a crisis-ridden part of the country; for being born to poor parents who could not afford to relocate them to other relatively peaceful parts of the country; for daring to be educated where education is haram; for dreaming and aspiring to become what their parents could not dream of.

These girls have been abandoned in the cold. They have been left at the mercy of merciless blood sucking demons in the heart of a forest that even our best trained military men are afraid of entering. They have been betrayed by even their own who quarreled over the 'token' doled out by the presidency. Where does their help come from?

Hope appears to be fading as the days go by, we are left with nothing but to hope against hope. OUR HOPE ENDURES, EVEN IN THE WORST OF CONDITIONS!

Blame Apc or Gej.

I still have the believe most of our sisters kidnapped will be rescued someday.

We'll keep praying for them

God bless Nigeria

Saddening. Their plight can't be described in words but we pray for them wherever they are.
