#BBB NEWS| Chibok Girls: Unnumbered, Unnamed … Un-remembered By Ayo Obe

Thursday the 27th of August 2015 marks 500 days since the abduction of 276 schoolgirls from the Government Secondary School at Chibok in Borno State.

Among those whose main reactions to the tragedy has been to calculate the political impact on them, or those whom they support, there has been bewilderment and bafflement, anger and scepticism over the fact that Nigerians and others have continued to register their determination that these girls will not join the ranks of the unnamed, unnumbered or unremembered. 

Every day since April 30th 2014 a group of Nigerians have staged a sit out in Abuja or taken other actions in support of the demand to BRING BACK OUR GIRLS!  In Lagos, the demand has been re-echoed every week at Speak Out Saturday.  Indeed, all over the country and outside it, Nigerians and other concerned people have registered the same demand.  In the US Congress, some lawmakers wear red every Wednesday to ensure that our Chibok girls do not fade from memory.
