As I sat at a salon on thursday, getting a free pedicure and enjoying free lunch from one of the best artistes I have heard, I could hear cleary the conversation that the pedicurists and hairstylists were having. They all shared what they have heard about the kidnapping of over 200 girls school girls in Borno, Nigeria.
The whole twitter community has noticed the trending topic #bringourgirlsback.
People are awaiting response from the officials and nothing has been said so far.
International artistes have also started to notice and have tweeted in support of Nigerian activists. Artistes like Keri Hilson, Mary J Blige and Pierce Morgan have all commented on the issue.
Nollywood's Stella Damasus, also spoke her mind:
#bringourgirlsback
How safe are we? As 2015 elections are approaching
so are the dangers that come with politics. Too much
hypocrisy going on with this abduction. The people
who can really put a stop to this are busy with plans
for 2015.
How come we don't have a "secret extraction unit"
who are properly trained. What about the jobless
graduates roaming the streets looking for work. The
money to be used for creating work and agencies to
help the citizens of the country, is being used for
parties, unnecessary political psA, giving huge sums
of money to heads of industries and departments to
increase votes, buying mansions all over the world,
private jets, ghost contracts and their grand children's
trust funds.
If they are telling me that this is not political, then why
did they not abduct boys in school? How come they
are against western education but they are using
western video equipment to send their message?
How come they are using western ammunition to
commit these crimes? How come they know how to
make bombs? Trust me these people are more
intelligent than most of our graduates. They have
been properly trained. So what is the real deal?
Bring back our girls please. #bringbackourgirls"
