Women to stage one-million march in Abuja over abducted girls

Nigerian women would on Wednesday April 30th in Abuja stage a one-million-women march tagged "Free our girls" to press for the release of the schoolgirls that were abducted from Girls Government college in Chibok, Borno state on Monday April 14th.
 
The call for the protest was made during an emergency meeting put together by the Borno state first lady, Hajia Nana Kashim Shettima, yesterday. Coordinator of the protest Prof. Hauwa Abdu Biu said the march is expected to involve every woman in the country.
"The last time, we were in black but this time around the colour for the Abuja rally is red; so we should all be prepared and mobilize ourselves for the rally”, she said
Earlier on at the meeting, the first lady amids sobs called on all women to join in efforts to free the abducted girls and also called on wives of heads of Security agents, some of whom were present at the meeting to help plead with their spouses to intensify their efforts in the search for the girls 
"I want to use this opportunity to appeal to wives of security chiefs at the national and state levels to mount pressures on their spouses to intensify effort to rescue our dear children. However, I feel it is necessary to call on all women in Borno to come up with their resolutions and harmonize them. Let us all put our differences aside irrespective of our faith, or ethnicity, let us all join hands together to rescue these girls, I know that we can do it, Almighty Allah is with us, He knows our intention. I am sure for now we are not on our own, I am happy to inform you that the wife of the president called me two days ago, I believe that she is also with us, let us all join hands together irrespective of political affiliations.” she said
Meanwhile, Director of Defence Information, Maj-Gen Chris Olukolade says the military is getting closer to the Boko Haram base where the girls are being kept. He said this yesterday during a tour with journalist to some of Boko Haram bases where the military has been able to dismantle.
"The bases we visited are part of the responses to the terrorist offensive and that is an achievement; the military had moved close to where the insurgents are. It shows that the military had taken over the land. The morale of the soldiers was high, and we are expecting to see more successes from the troops” he said.

They should be marching to their state goverment house not abuja, what is the role of the state governor first among other functions,is he not the chief security officer of the state. Why go far .

These women should stop this silly action..This is not robbery act is abduction as those animals called boko haram are using those girls as shields..Any force to rescue those kids will be very tragic and fatal...They should allow the security agents to work out plans and free those kids unhurt..I believe these women are been use by some politicians...

the march should have commenced in Bornu state then to Abuja then to the defense headquarters then to the villa

Angie said...

The girls will be released, but, not because of their march.
Prophet TB Joshua said 'God has spoken that the girls will be rescued, some have escaped already but are yet to come out of the forest, they'll then pinpoint where they were kept, for the rest to be rescued'. The military or whatever have to plan the rescue mission strategically...

JO said...

Pray tell what is "silly" about women protesting and asking for the girls to be freed??? Your statement is insentitive. The military is doing what it knows best, yes, but should the parents and mothers stop putting pressure on the government and military??? Most DEFINITELY NOT!!!!!

Good luck to them

Wonderful idea. Standing ovation for this protest. It resonates so deeply with me. The power of women to change situations is amazing. I enjoin all women, regardless of religion or ethnicity to join them. If you are not in Nigeria, please join them in prayers and goodwill.

May God help our country and the innocent girls who have been abducted. May HE continue to watch over all of us and our loved ones, even as we partner with HIM in actions, words and thoughts. To all the ladies involved in this march, fear not! Your little acts of protests will cause enormous positive changes. May God bless all your efforts.

Everybody is bumping the government to help rescue our girls but no one is acknowledging the fact that our girls could lose their lives if force is applied.

There is a saying "when the corpse isn't yours, one tends to think it's just a stick".
Shey when this same BH was killing Christians (including mothers and daughters), madam 1st Lady you didn't know how to organise 1million woman march.
Now the corpses are yours, you know what it feels like abi......
All the same I pray for the safe release of all these girls, only God knows what kind of things they have been through, over the past 3weeks. Kai
