MISSING CHIBOK GIRLS, TRAUMATISED FATHERS

Over a hundred days and still counting, over a hundred days of pure agony for the mothers and fathers of the over two hundred school girls abducted from their school by the group known as BokoHaram.

Chibok town in north eastern Nigeria is now internationally acclaimed for the very wrong reason. The most painful thing I suppose is the sense of helplessness that the traumatized

parents would be feeling knowing that their girls who ought to be at home, are somewhere facing, God knows what under the barrel of a gun.

It is common knowledge that fathers are particularly fond of their daughters and fiercely protective of their ‘little angels’. I can just imagine many a father of the missing Chibok girls, secretly sobbing in a quite place and wishing the whole abduction saga is a bad dream and that they will wake up and everything will be normal again. Meanwhile all we can say at his point is an emphatic ‘Yes, Bring our girls back home’.
