I have always taken a somewhat neutral stance on the Chibok story. One side of the divide says it was a scam and the other side says it was real. But today's events have really raised doubts on the whole Chibok incident.

Without going into the full story from two years ago, the events of the last two days alone have created even more suspicion and raised serious questions about the whole event. Could this really be a well scripted scam?

First, how is it that a girl, who two years ago was about to write her WAEC exam for physics, not be able to speak even simple English? You can try to spin anything but this just doesnt add up at all. It completely discredits the whole script!

Secondly, the whole story of her emergence is too scripted like a movie. She suddenly escapes from the great Sambisa (Just when the NLC strike and many other scandals are rocking the polity), she wanders to the road, the civilian JTF locates her, she gives a false name, they interview her and finds out her boko haram husband wasnt far away, they go get her husband who incidentally, though he is boko haram, is not armed, they are "rescued" by the army, who fly them to go see her parents, medical examination is conducted in record time (in Nigeria), and they are all flown to Abuja immediately to see the President. The same President that recently walked out on the parents.

And to complete the last episode, the President takes a group selfie with the Parents and wait for it...the BOKO HARAM husband

I mean, how can a President take a group selfie with a terrorist! Where in the world does that happen? This is definitely a first!

But back to episode 12. Several questions are begging for answers here

1. How can she said to have escaped the great Sambisa with her husband not far away? Was her husband not also among Boko Haram members?

2. How long did she walk to get to the road. This is a very crucial question.

a. If she didnt walk for long, then the remaining girls are not far away. So why didnt she lead the army back to where they are?

b. If she walked for a long time, then how come she is in such good condition especially when she is a four month old nursing mother and she is carrying a baby?

3. How come she is hurriedly taken to the hospital, then to Chibok and then to Aso Rock all in just about 24 to 36 hours? Why the rush to present her to the president and take some pictures? If you rescue a girl who has been away for two years, the priority can never be to take her to see the president. The priority will be to take care of her and thoroughly check her up medically. There will be no need for such a hurried trip to see the president unless there is a plan to gain some political mileage from the story. That is completely outside proper protocols. The president can always see her within the next few days to one week after she has had proper bed rest and done proper medicals. You dont put a girl who has gone through such trauma and is a nursing mother through such travel rigours. Never!

4. Why would the president take a group selfie with a terrorist? I mean, I dont know if this is a blunder by the protocol officers or advisers, but this will go down as a really terrible move for this President. That picture will hunt him many years after, I can tell you that. Please dont even come with your "repentant terrorist spin" because it is a dumb spin! A terrorist who has killed and destroyed maybe hundreds or thoussands should never be seen in a group selfie with the president's aides, not to talk of the president. Even if they repent and wash themselves with Ariel and Kleen and iron sponge, they should never be seen taking pictures with the president. Imagine Obama taking a group selfie with Guantanamo Bay inmates? I cant even picture it! Ha!

5. And why was the headline released as "Chibok Girl Rescued" when the story clearly says she escaped? And the army were quickly credited with the rescue and congratulated?

I am totally not convinced by this new episode at all and until I see real answers to the questions I have raised, this new story will continue to look like a bad script! I hope I am proven wrong!

I pity this country where the truth is an abomination. A girl we were told was wondering around and now turns out to be one of the missing girls. How broke the news, an activist. Who saw the girl, the vigilatees. How takes the glory? The Military and their fool at Aso Rock. God have mercy. The guys that write this script are not smart. They are as dullard as our dullard president. Whart a pity. Even if I tell this to my nine year old child, he will ask me some questions. That shows how gullible nigerian are. Government of the scammers leading the scammers

In most govt owned schools here in the north even english is taught in Hausa. Somewhere in southern Nigeria a school teacher was caught on tape unable to read her own certificates during teaching staff verification exercise. The rot in the education sector cut across all regions and the girl not being able to converse fluently is a manifestation of our common ills of not heavily investing on quality education.

1. How can she said to have escaped the great Sambisa with her husband not far away? Was her husband not also among Boko Haram members?

2 days ago there was a raid that dismantled Boko Haram in Sambisa. Their camp at Njimila axis was destroyed, scores of their members were killed while some fled, that same day 15 terrorists were killed at Alafa.

The news was featured here on Nairaland. And before the chibok girl was even identified the troops say 41 hostages mostly women and children were rescued. So, the girls didn't just wake up and decided to wander on her own, our gallant troops freed her.

Most questions you ask are apparently unfair, questions like why would the girl be taken to her parents. Why would she be taken to the governor or why is she in the presidential villa. Even more disturbing is you wanted her to be catered for in a hospital but blatantly rejected a report by the army about her receiving medical attention. I won't be wrong if I say your thread is an attempt to birth mischief, fortunately we can see through it.

Your written english is horrible.

And you are calling some one else dullard?

Thank you. But I repeat again that BUHARI is a Dullard and simply cannot think well which is why his decision are nothing to write home about. And by the way am in school at the moment if that helps you and your dullard Buhari. The fanstactically DULLARD BUHARI leading a fantastically currupt nigerians.

It doesn't add up at all and the speed to release the news to give the president a boost makes it really suspect

Doubting Thomas. I nominate you to be led on the discovery of the other girls. Will you go?

The second girl scam is even worse than the first...
