Parents of the 219 schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram terrorists from Government Secondary School, Chibok in Chibok local government area of Borno State had fresh memories of their daughters with majority emotionally desperate to reunite with their children. The girls were kidnapped two years ago after a midnight attack on the school hostel.

The day before April 14, 2015, very few people- even in Nigeria- had ever heard of Chibok before. Chibok, a Local Government Area in Borno State, Nigeria, located in the south of the state with headquarters in the town of Chibok, has an area of 1,350 km² and a population of 66,105 at the 2006 census.

Just imagine. Imagine, that, in 2010, at the height of the contestation for power, between the leadership of the Northern Political Leaders Forum, NPLF, a wing of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the fledgling Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, there was a consensus on how to deal with members of the Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad, which, in English, means, “People Committed to the Propagation of the Prophet’s Teachings and Jihad”, and otherwise known as Boko Haram!

The 14th of April has become a day that the failure of leadership and governance in Nigeria led to the disappearance of 276 students of Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok in Borno State. Today is exactly 731 days or two years since Boko Haram terrorists walked into the school in the dead of the night and took away final year students waiting to complete their final exams.

A would-be suicide bomber who was arrested in Cameroon is not one of the more than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped nearly two years ago from the northeast Nigerian town of Chibok, a non-profit announced on Wednesday.
