No! She didn't act as if the incoming government caused the problem. She did express disappointment in the present govt's failure to arrest the case. However, her disappointment in Buhari was on his reneging on the initial promise of bringing back the girls which he used during his campaigns.

Who is Helen Paul and what type of vegetables does she sell?

She allowed emotion to becloud her sense of judgment.....




Am sure if those girls are still alive
They would be found with the progress the military are making in the simbasi forest
Everyday we keep hearing of girls and women being rescure and am sure theirs won't be a forgotten issue

midolian:
Hmm..make hellen calm down abeg

When Buhari made that statement, I was a bit disappointed @ first too..buh then, I took a few minutes to think of the possible reasons why he made such a comment..I thought to myself "what if these girls are no more?",How do you expect Buhari to bring back the girls that are no more? As we all know, this governmnt hav not been sincere with the issue of our missing girls..
Just about 48hrs ago, 200girls and 93(or more)women were rescued and till this moment, they claim not to know where those girls were abducted from..My question is this "Are those girls deaf and dumbs? Can't they speak? A simple interview will do.. I watched channelsTV news yesternight and I was taken aback on hearing olukolade say they don't know exactly who those girls are, buh they arnt the chibok girls.. . 290+? .. Abeg boko haram don dey produce women?

How can I forget the 160+ girls that were rescued yesterday.. They are still not the chibok girls o! ..Well, God knows best.


All I am saying is Buhari is a wise man and I am sure he knows what he is doing..Maybe Hellen paul didn't hear the part where he said "If the girls are alive, his government will do everything within its powers to bring them back"..these are the words of a wise man.. Let's be patient with him

Burger01:

Sure I did. Can you please point to me what I missed out?.My glasses are quite bad

DJAmyluv:
But Buhari said he will bring them back so when he was making that promise he didn't consider d fact that they may be 'dead'?

joseph1832:
And did Buhari renege on his promise?. He mere said he couldn't guarantee their 'safe' return.

So what if the Chibok girls are dead? Will she now say Buhari failed to bring them Back alive because he used it in his campaign that he will bring them back alive?.

megacool360:


Really? So what spurred him into making the conspicous promise of bringing back the girls, then before the election, knowing there could be the posibility the girls are dead? Or did that possibility just come into existence after the election?

And you say that isn't reneging on his promise?

sunkoye:
A programme on Dstv called first 48 hours. Its about missing pple. The first 48 hrs matters in search of missing person. Here we have our president denied anyone was missing for 21 days.
The probability of seeing the girls after one whole year in the territory of terrorist is near Zero. Helen talks without thinking

joseph1832:
I'm not trying to support GMB about what he said, what I'm saying she shouldn't just saying she's disappointed in him. She should let him assume the mantle captain of the federal republic of Nigeria and see how far he will go before being disappointed.

And I also believe GMB is saying all this so people who get their hopes up then in the end, they end up disappointed!.

Better to tell them the way it is now than give frivolous excuses later....

Lizabeth25:
He hasn't said "He won't try his possible best to retrieve those girls" he said he is not making any promise.

There are different meanings to those words. And if he does not take over, how will he have the power to do what we want?

Let's wait till he enters Aso Rock first.!

Ok maa. Sorry Ok Lizzy.

HelenBee:
Read her piece as published on The Trent below:

The comedian and mother of two Helen Paul, writes down her views and disappointment in President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari recent statement that he cannot guarantee the safe return of the kidnapped Chibok girls..

Hmmm… it’s one year and some days now since the Chibok girls have been missing. Yet, the days are still counting because we have no clue about their whereabouts.

This is a very sad development indeed. No doubt, it was a disappointment that the outgoing government failed to locate and rescue the girls from the hands of their Boko Haram abductors.

As a mother, who knows what the pains of child labour and child upbringing are all about, I heaved a sigh of relief when Muhammadu Buhari emerged winner of the presidential election. It was not because I like him more than Jonathan, but because I listened to one of his campaigns, where he promised to bring back the girls if elected into office.

Perhaps, Nigerians elected him on that premise.
I feel that, at least, it will be a great achievement for whoever locates and brings back the girls to their respective families. In fact, whoever achieves that will be celebrated as a hero all over the world. But then, I have seen another reason to believe that all politicians are the same.

Their modus operandi may only be different. A few days ago, exactly when it clocked one year that the girls had been missing, Buhari broke my heart, just like that of other Nigerians when he said his government could not promise to bring back the girls! I felt really devastated because that comment was a sharp contrast to the promises he made to all Nigerians and the world at large during his campaigns.

Honestly, I try not to be disappointed because you can always expect anything from Nigerians, politicians in particular. They can promise heaven on earth during campaigns, but the moment they get to power, they promptly renege on their promises. Such is life in this part of the world where we find ourselves.

I tried to put myself in the shoes of the parents, relatives and neighbours of the missing girls, who, perhaps, solicited votes for the retired General after hearing his campaign promise that he would bring back the girls. How will they feel now hearing him say something to the contrary?

There is an adage in Yoruba that says ‘ omo eni ku san ju omo eni sonu lo,’ meaning that it is better for someone’s child to die than to be missing. I can imagine the different thoughts and imaginations that would have saddled the minds of those girls’ parents. If the girls are dead (which I don’t pray for anyway), the parents will mourn for sometime and recover, but that they are missing is another experience entirely.

Firefire:
The conspiracy theories surrounding the missing Chibok girls still lingers.

One day Nigerians will hear the real and true story surrounding the kidnap incident.

- Was there any kidnap in the first place or just an arranged relocation of the girls?

- If there was a kidnap, are the figures given accurate?

- Who and who are culpable in the whole missing girl’s episode?

Nigeria and her scriptwriters should know that there is no secret under the heavens.

May God of heaven and earth bless ur wisdom ... Most of us Nigerians only think on a linear way. No indepth analysis or comparison!!!

HelenBee:
LMAO!

joseph1832:
She and her disappointment can wait for a while. The Chibok girls are already the fault of GEJ because he wasted more than enough time denying that the girls were ctually kidnapped!.

Why transfer the burden of GEJ failures to GMB!. In time, I trust the general may just surprise us all. So Helen, your disappointment can wait!.

mrvitalis:
am more disappointed in HELEN PAUL for being so shallow minded ...........so if the girls are dead he should go to the land of the dead to bring them ba

jomoh:






Now I know why they say GEJ supporters are unintelligent and as clueless as GEJ himself.

"if elected, I promise to use everything at my disposal to bring back the girls". Mumu have you not read is officialstatement? He said he is not making any promises but said other wise during campaign, face it, the problems of Nigeria is beyond the presidency. I give him a year.

"if elected, I promise to bring back the girls".

tell me if there's a difference in the two.

your intelligence quotient is as low as that of the silly comedian.
