BBOG-21
British Parliamentarians are set to join the #BringBackOurGirls group for its sit-out today as an act of solidarity to the campaign for the rescue of the Chibok girls.

According to a statement available from the group and signed by strategic team member, Jeff Okoroafor, the group noted that today “ Wednesday, our movement shall be hosting some members of the British Parliament at Unity Fountain Abuja, 5pm; at a special sit-out session.”

The statement added that all the parliamentarians, who are members of the International Development Committee – the committee with oversight responsibility for the Department for International Development (DFID) are expected at the sit-out.

The group also listed the names of the MPs and accompanying officials to include: Stephen Twigg (MP and chair), Virendra Kumar Sharma (MP), Helen Grant (MP), Wendy Morton (MP), Albert Owen (MP), Fiona Claire Bruce (MP), Lisa Cameron (MP).

Others include Jeremy John Elton Lefroy (MP), Pauline Elizabeth Latham (MP), Nigel Martin Evans (MP), Rachael Catriona Sarah Cox (staff) and Steven Jonathan Ayres (staff); while these Parliamentarians will also be accompanied by Ben Mellor, DFID Head of Office and Country Representative (Nigeria) , as probably will the High Commissioner.

This visit will become the second within the space of one week that a foreign government representatives will be joining the BBOG group for its sit-out.

Recall that Denmark had pledged to take the campaign of the rescue of the girls who were abducted in their dormitory at the Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State by the Boko Haram sect to the world.

Speaking during his visit to the #BringBackOurGirls group at the Unity Fountain, Abuja recently, the country’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kristian Jensen expressed sadness that the girls who were abducted for nearly two years were still in the hands of their captors and promised to become their voice to let the world know that they are still in captivity.

“I will assure you to work towards making the world never forget, to always fight, to find the truth and bring the girls back alive. I will like to include myself and Denmark in the fight. I hope to be an ambassador of the girls and be a part of saying, we want to bring the girls back,” he said.

Jensen who was accompanied by the Denmark’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Torben Gettermann stated that the fight to rescue the abducted girls was also the fight for the right of education for girl-child adding that Denmark will continue to champion girls’ right to education to the world.

Is high time bbog tell themselves the truth, there are many underage innocent girls been abducted without the consent of their parents or guidance by Muslim faithfuls and converted to Muslims by marrying them off at that tender age. This was exactly what boko haram did in a large scale. Bbog should try save those innocent girls that are within and not only campaigning for chibok girls that even the government with all his might can't attest their rescue.

I pray these girls are still alive & would one day be freed. Only God knows what they & their families have been through in the hands of their abductors & also politicians trying to score cheap points.

I am surprised that since APC came to power the heat of bring back our girls has died down. It's very easy to score a goal when you are a spectator.

Since APC sidelined Oby Ezekwesili after using #bringbackourgirls, she has stopped the campaign.

We are watching.

And if you fail to list them you are a religion bigot and remain silent forever. You will be posting rubbish from your enclave in one glorified vilage of yours just to garner likes from toutz like u, i am pretty sure u hav never left ur vilage in your lifetime even once.

How exactly does BBOG campaign help in rescuing the girls? They cannot even hold a meeting in Maiduguri. All they do is stay in an air conditioned hall in Abuja. BBOG is political and a big scam.

BTW most of those girls have died in female suicide missions.

Nigerians be like
"Its a lie there are no girls, you just want to bring down GoodLuck Jonathan" then later "Why has Buhari not found the girls yet, we he said he will find them immediately he takes office"

Then they be like "white men are just selfish people, they don't like to help us without self interest, why don't they send weapons to stop Boko Haram" then they be like "please we don't need them interfering in our internal issues, they're are all racist"

After then "why are so many people marching for this bring Back Our Girls sef, see them, all of them paid government stooges" then later "why is nobody marching again na, my brother I no tell you before say na lie!"

With the #Ese Saga, it has become obvious that many girls have been abducted over the past years but nothing large scale like what Boko Haram (An Islamic Terror Organisation) did to the Chibok underage girls.
#BringBackOurGirls wherever they may be (search should include Emirs Palaces)

You retort to lamentation as usual like a castrated dog and try to hide your stupidity under that same chibok girls incident that u ask us to forget that there are more devilish act going on that we dont know as ur only case study. and also claim to be master in stupidity. I am not suppose to honour u with a quote as obiagelli urge me to, but if i refused to qoute you one more time you will keep on living in ignorance and keep on believing u are making sense, while you are displaying ur stupidity.
