One Of The 219 Abducted Chibok Girls Miraculously Found, She’s In Trauma – Oby Ezekwesili



Barely 24 hours after the emotions of Nigerians where raised and later dashed over reports that some of the school girls abducted from Government Girls Secondary Chibok in Borno state had been freed, a report that turned out to be false, it has emerged that one of the ?girls have miraculously escaped from their abductors.

Former World Bank Vice President, Mrs Oby Ezekwesili, who incidentally is one of the leaders of the #BringBackOurGirls movement, a group that has in the last 4 months advocated for government action to secure the release of the girls confirmed the development via her twitter handle ·on Wednesday.
According to Madam Oby as she is fondly called, the girl she simply identified as Susan was miraculously found in the bush by locals who then took her to Yola.
“After the emotional upheaval of yesterday’s dashed hope, today came with the FACTUAL RETURN of ONE of OUR 219 . She’s in trauma,” Madam Oby tweeted.
She added that, “OUR 1 , miraculously found in a bush by locals & returned today is confirmed by ChibokParents with her in Yola. INCREDIBLE!”
“It is hard to comprehend the return of Susan who is yet incoherent. The locals that found her took her to Mubi Police & now moved to Yola.”
She said the return of the girl has been confirmed by Chibok parents who are with her in Yola.
Madam Oby said she hoped that Security/Military would handle the return of Susan in a way that will help us to learn more in the next couple of days.
“One hopes that Our Security/Military would approach Susan’s return in a way that helps us learn more in the next couple of days.”
She also expressed optimism that Susan’s return is an indication that the rest of the 219 Chibok girls will return.
“The eternal optimist that I am makes me see the return of Susan as a GOOD SIGN for the rest of our 219 ChibokDaughters. They SHALL RETURN!!”

The unprecedented global COVID-19 pandemic is changing the face of human society and its systems, from healthcare to education, consumption patterns, the world of work, value systems, political regimes and legal systems. The condition was first reported in Nigeria in February 2020, and within a few weeks of its onset, we had entered the community transmission phase. Today, there are more than 16,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 across 35 States and the FCT, and over 400 deaths and counting. How Nigeria recovers from the effects of the infection will depend on the innovations we are willing to introduce and the reforms we are committed to implementing in the various sectors of our society.

Why We Must Implement Diaspora Voting System By Hon. Alex Obi-Osuala

Image
Diaspora votes must count in Nigeria. This is my position/opinion. If not because of the dubious nature of the officials in the government of Nigeria, one does not see any reason why Nigerians in Diaspora shouldn’t be voting as done in most countries of the world. Their votes would have been making a great difference, and give them a sense of belonging and participation in the affairs of the nation.
