Does Obama Care That 234 Kidnapped Nigerian Schoolgirls Are Still Missing?
16 days have passed since hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls were kidnapped at gunpoint by militants who oppose western education for girls.
The militants of the Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram arrived at the boarding school in the dead of night. They exchanged gunfire with armed security guards outside the school before storming the school and rounding up the girls.
The frightened schoolgirls were herded onto waiting buses and motor scooters by the gunmen who assured them, “Don’t worry. Nothing will happen to you.”
18-year-old Deborah Sanya was one of the 43 lucky ones who managed to escape from the militants’ base camp.
She said she and the other girls believed they were in safe hands, until the men started shooting guns and shouting “Allahu Akbar” (“God is great” in Islam). That was when she knew the men had lied.
According to an article in the New Yorker magazine, the families of the 234 missing girls are wallowing in the midst of uncertainty. They complain that the government is refusing to update them on the efforts to find the girls.
Even more disturbing is a Washington Post report that the girls are being sold into arranged marriages, though the report hasn’t been verified.
In a similar incident involving the Boko Haram in November, dozens of Christian women were kidnapped and forced into domestic servitude. The women were eventually rescued by the military deep in the jungles.
But as CNN.com notes, “at the time of their rescue, some were pregnant or had children, and others had been forcibly converted to Islam and married off to their kidnappers.”
Meanwhile, President Obama spoke on the ongoing controversy surrounding racial comments made in private by LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling.
So far, Obama has not mentioned the 234 missing Nigerian schoolgirls. Neither has multimillionaire media mogul Oprah Winfrey, who once built a school for girls in South Africa. Oprah is all over the news these days for allegedly expressing an interest in buying the Clippers team.
Imagine the media exposure the Nigerian schoolgirl kidnapping story would receive worldwide if Obama and Oprah cared about the missing girls as much as they do about pampered pro basketball players?Comment

Hundreds march over Nigeria schoolgirl kidnappings
Nigerian protesters march on parliament to call for immediate rescue of hostages abducted from Chibok by Boko Haram
Nigerian protesters have marched on parliament to demand the government and military do more to rescue scores of schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram Islamists more than two weeks ago.
Dubbed "a million-woman march" and promoted on Twitter under #BringBackOurGirls, the protest was not expected to draw a massive crowd and turnout was hindered by heavy rain in the capital Abuja.
But several hundred women and men, mostly dressed in red, marched through the rain towards the National Assembly carrying placards that read "Find Our Daughters".
Protest organiser Hadiza Bala Usman had earlier told AFP that the size of the protest was less important than raising awareness about the plight of the hostages whose abduction at gunpoint on 14 April from their school in the northeast has outraged Africa's most populous nation.
"The government has to understand that we are not going to allow this silence to continue," Usman said.
In the northern city of Kano, roughly 100 people dressed in black marched towards the state governor's office, calling for the girls' immediate release.
The mass kidnapping in the Chibok area of northeastern Borno state was one of the most shocking attacks in Boko Haram's five-year extremist uprising, which has killed thousands across the north and centre of the country.
Borno's government said 129 girls were taken and that 52 have since escaped.
Locals, including the principal at the targeted Government Girls secondary school in Chibok, have rejected those figures, claiming that 230 teenage students were taken and that 187 are still being held hostage.
Parents have voiced fury at the military's apparent rescue operation, accusing the security services of ignoring their daughters' plight.
Former World Bank vice president Obiageli Ezekwesili, also a former member of the Nigerian cabinet, has emerged as a leader of the #BringBackOurGirls movement and addressed protesters at Unity Fountain in Abuja as the march kicked off.
She accused the military of having no coherent search-and-rescue plan.
"We are going to the National Assembly because that is where each of these girls has a representative," she said.
Pogu Bitrus, leader of Chibok's elders forum, said it was "unbelievable" that the military, which claims to be working around-the-clock to find the hostages, had not yet tracked down any of the kidnappers.
Locals have scoured the bushlands of the remote region, pooling money to buy fuel for motorcycles and cars to conduct their own rescue effort.
Usman condemned what she called the official complacency that has followed the abductions.
"If this happened anywhere else in the world – more than 200 girls kidnapped and no information for more than two weeks – the country would be brought to a standstill," she said.
Boko Haram's name translates as "Western education is forbidden". The group has repeatedly attacked schools during an insurgency aimed at creating a strict Islamic state in mainly Muslim northern Nigeria.
The Islamists have set schools on fire, massacred students in their sleep and detonated bombs at university campus churches, but a massive kidnapping specifically targeting girls is unprecedented.
Usman said she had been promised that the house speaker, Aminu Tambuwal, and perhaps even the president, Goodluck Jonathan, will speak to the protesters.
"We have booked an appointment," she said. "We expect (both men) will come out and address us."
Jonathan has faced scathing criticism over his handling of the Boko Haram conflict, which has already killed more than 1,500 people this year.
Speaking by phone from Chibok, a father of one of the kidnapped schoolgirls voiced hope that protesters drawing attention to his nightmare near the seat of government could make a difference.
"We are poor with no influence whatsoever, which we believe is the reason the government does not care about our girls," said the father.
"We believe if Nigerians, the high and the low, raise their voices from different quarters it will make the government sit up and do the right thing to free our girls."

africa was occupied and given brainwashed-recycled versions of islam & christianity...
the truth is that modern religionism is a killer for afrika;
the three biggest religious forces currently hold sway over the majority of africa;
1) "white"-worship
2)christianity-ism
3)islam-ismComment

rastafari probably closer to the 5% nation of gods & earths in terms of the term I-Man;
the 5%ers say ISLAM as I Self Lord And Master
also you have to keep in mind that ethiopia's amharic is the second-most spoken afri-semitic language in the world after arabic...and has many similarities with arabic & hebrewComment

not entirely true...doan figgit dat att itt roots rasta christianitee
at its roots rastafari is the ancient afrikan concept of the divine kingship & the holy trinity; as well as hebrew israelites, in particular the tribe of judah---from which "christianity" is descended---as well as ;the tribe "jesus" was said to be descended from...
also the title of the ethiopian king of kings---- lion of the tribe of judah;
religion, like anything else can be hijacked & used for evil purposes...
i also consider white-worship the other great world religion...i see both muslims & christians practicing that one...
boko haram may think they are fighting western civilization, but they are also fighting african civilization and glorifying arab civilization...
in large part both the christians & the muslims in africa are serving alien masters to the detriment of africa...
rastafari respects the mother first and aliens later...Comment

obama & oprah are owned by their money-masters so they can't comment too deeply if at all on stuff like this...Imagine the media exposure the Nigerian schoolgirl kidnapping story would receive worldwide if Obama and Oprah cared about the missing girls as much as they do about pampered pro basketball players?
their masters have given the ok to hate donald sterling and the media is running with it...
but at the end of the day the nigerian gov't is the primary force in charge---
so far they appear to be uselessComment
