Please who read this rubbish? I no get time for am , chibok planed in America against jonathan executed by the northern cabal , when aisha hassan was openly supporting Atiku and northerners were against her especially elrufai, she said one thing "elrufai I will tell the world your role in chibok issue" that's the end all northerners shut up, so why should I waste my time to read this useless write up in collaboration with usa
My Goodness ! are you normal at all ? You're calling a thorougly researched article by wsj rubbish? All you had to do was read and liberate yourself but you can't so that you can still keep holding your bias.

It's really sad that Nigerians lose their sense of reasoning when issues of politics , ethnicity and religion is been discussed.

No one is saying the no

Interesting!

Modified: first, LRNZH, welcome!

One thing I want anyone reading this article above to know is this: that Nigeria has failed to advance herself technologically despite being the "giant" of Africa; that we cannot use our supposed satellite to map the Sambisa forest - a one time game reserve which if we had maintained this game reserve, it would not have been a terrorist abode; that we have failed as a nation to secure our borders and it had to take almost seven countries to aid with some investigations happening on our soil. It is a sad one.

It's an interesting submission on the Chibok saga and close to being one of the best if not the best. The part it failed to mention is the Borno governor's role in this whole debacle.

1. Jonathan didn't act because his military chiefs had him believe it was a hoax until international communities put interest (a failure on his part);

2. Buhari failed on his promise to being them back by Sept. 5th as predicted to mark his 100 days in office (playing politics with a case this large; BTW, I thought it was one of the campaign promises which he vehemently denied - I stand to be corrected);
3. The Nigerian Police is one of the main causes of this, shooting the main leader in the full watch of his followers and people, birthed the chaos being witnessed in the NE today (yeah, I know, Ali Ndume and Ali Modu Sheriff). Now, this same thing is being witnessed across Nigeria where the police shoots anyone they deem fit and the government has failed to look into it. Shows what i said above - the failure of a nation to arrest certain situation until it goes out of control.
4. The Swiss govt. played a huge role in the rescuing of the Chibok girls.
5. Nigerian government paid a huge amount of money + 5 top commanders of BH to secure their release (despite initial denial).
6. That Nigerians are hypocrites - so many captives in their abode, a school filled up with boys all burnt and yet, we are not concerned about the families of these boys; we are all concerned with the families of the Chibok girls.
7. That the rescued Chibok girls were brave and many stood their grounds despite the intimidation from the terrorists.
8. It pays to have a diary because you never know when you will strike gold with the contents therein. smiley
9. Our media houses have failed to come up with a report this comprehensive since many are partisan.

Wow! I don't know what's more shocking, the fact that someone wrote this or that it had 71 shares. Nigerians never cease to amaze. Even despite all the evidence presented to them some of them will still deny, deny, deny. Wow! Just when you think you've heard it all something comes out of nowhere to shock you.

I read this article twice, the best I have read as concerning this issue. This is the height of journalism with a perfect touch of captivating story telling.

Kudos to the writer, I could almost picture myself in all the scenes writen of.

Honestly! Just imagine if things had gone as planned right from independence, many African countries would have been stable with Nigeria seriously playing a huge role.

Dude, I can't begin to tell you how utterly incredulous it is that a President of an entire country with all the full powers of the state along with his cabinet did not know what was on ground and thought the whole thing was a hoax? I was just utterly flabbergasted when i read that.

Hours after the attack on Chibok, the first intelligence reports flashed across screens at the White House. The details coming through were terrifying: More than 100 girls were missing from a school in northeastern Nigeria, making it one of modern history’s largest abductions.

It was Monday morning in Washington. President Barack Obama was scheduled to meet faith leaders to discuss immigration policy, then hold a strategy session to discuss the escalating conflict in Ukraine.

To the surprise of Obama’s Africa team, the abduction of an entire student body barely registered in the press at home or abroad. In Nigeria, the reaction was muffled by military leaders who informed their president the kidnapping seemed to be a hoax.

“We knew this was going to be big,” said Grant T. Harris, Obama’s Africa director. “But it was initially met with a deafening silence.”

On the afternoon of April 15, Oby Ezekwesili thumbed through her phone and found a short article from the British Broadcasting Corporation. More than 100 girls had been kidnapped in Nigeria the previous night.
My goodness! What a country!
