Dr Oby Ezekwesili donates $10k prize money to Chibok girls

Former Minister of Education and one of the conveners of the Bring Back Our Girls group, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili has donated $10,000 to the missing Chibok girls. The money was a prize she was given by the Queen of Sweden, Silvia Renate, who recognized and awarded 10 people from around the world who advocate for Childs right. Dr Ezekwesili decided to donate her prize to the Chbok girls.

Confirming her donation, the Chairman of the Chibok community in Abuja, Tsambido Hosea-Abana said her donation has been credited into the Chibok community account
"I can confirm that this money has entered the designed account. We had about N1.1 million donated by people to assist in rehabilitating these girls when they are returned. I am also appealing to Nigerians to donate to the course of rebuilding the schools in Chibok as saome of these schools have been destroyed when the Boko Haram attacked the area.”he said

My people before building the school, why dont we find the girls then we build when the area is more save for them.OR what if after building they comeback what happen then. pls they should stop looking for unnecessary place to spend the money and use it wisely. let get BokoHaram out first.

Rebuilding the schools? The boko haram scourge is still very much present. If they are rebuilt the environment still won't be safe. And I hope all the money being donated is actually intact.

Money to rehabilitate the girls when they are returned!!! This is foolishness!! I'm sure this 'bring back our girls' stuff is now business

Unknown said...

Someone out there will end up eating this money because as of now we don't even know if the chibok girls are alive or not! So sad

nice of her

Mayoms said...

LOOOL WHICH GIRLS?

I've gathered y'all here today to tell you that Asari Dokubo was right. There are NO missing Chibok girls. I must commend Borno governor and his cohorts for pulling off this plan perfectly. Oby Ezekwesili didn't donate any money to anybody because nobody is missing.

Anonymous said...

Most she announce it?

Subomi said...

That's very kind of her. We are waiting for the return of the girls. pastor Bakare said they'll be back this year

Unknown said...

She should go and rebuild the dilapidated schools in her village first, after all, Charity begins at Home.
