one hundred and thirty eight days after

138 days after, and our girls are still missing.
138 days after and their places at the table during meals are still empty.
138 days after and their mothers are still expectant.
138 days after and we still don't have our desire?



What is our desire?
To have these girls returned to their parents.
To ask that they be returned healthy seems like a wishful thinking!
How can they be returned healthy after the gruesome experience of being abducted and enslaved from their homes and turned into refugees in a country that claims to be at peace?
How can they return healthy after spending months in the custody of such barbarians?

The whole world has moved forward, the international media has moved on to juicer stories, the initial frenzy and concern shown by the entertainment world has passed away, and majority of Nigerians have, as usual, accepted this fate and moved on!

The question is : if it was your sister, would you move on and forget about her? If it were your daughter, would you accept it as fate and go on with life?
I am sure you wouldn't! And so you shouldn't!
You shouldn't forget these girls, we shouldn't. 

The easiest thing you can do is pray sincerely for them; you can do more by supporting those that have decided to keep the campaign alive!
These are the least we can do, but I believe that 1 in every 10 Nigerian can do more. Will you?
