Nigeria’s Kidnappers Have Harvested An Estimated $600m (above somali & Yemen) by Nobody: 5:05am On Mar 21, 2015
The Economist magazine estimates that kidnappers in Yemen, North Africa and Somalia took in up to $125m over the last six years. The Somali pirates, made infamous by the Tom Hanks movie Captain Phillips, have raked in some $400m in ransoms from kidnapping since 2008. But they are small-time compared to Nigeria’s kidnappers. We have spent several months researching kidnappings in Nigeria and have interviewed dozens of participants in this industry. Nigeria’s kidnappers have harvested an estimated $600m for the same period.

In a country with a poverty level as high as ours, you shouldn't expect less! That's why we need someone that will give us fresh air. That's why we need CHANGE. That's why we need GMB/PYO.
