FG rules out ransom for abducted pupils

Click banner for more info

The Presidency has ruled out negotiating the release of the schoolgirls abducted from Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State. While claiming responsibility for the April 14 abduction recently, leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, had threatened to sell off the over 200 girls.  The statement was seen as a discreet way of asking for ransom from the government for the release of the girls.

But the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, in an exclusive interview with our correspondent on Friday said the government would not pay a ransom or engage in any form of sale of human beings.  Abati said no amount of provocation would push the government to engage in any act that was connected to slavery. He said, “The Federal Government is not going to engage in any form of selling human beings. The sale of any human being is an assault on the dignity of that human being.

“Slavery is one of the major crimes against humanity in the UN Conventions. There will be no amount of provocation that will push the Federal Government of Nigeria to engage in anything that is remotely associated to the promotion of slavery.
“The position of the Federal Government is that even if Boko Haram goes ahead with its threat to sell human beings, whoever buys such human beings will be held culpable for promoting slavery.

 Genevieve Nnaji was on CNN today talking about the missing Chibok girls, and she was very articulate. Some of what she said below and what Omo Oodua reader's reply...

"As celebrities, we thought it was our responsibility to shed light and bring to the forefront this inhumane act."

"For me I think it will be unfair to say they (the federal govt) were slow to react because nobody knew whether they reacted or not. The thing is we we weren't told, we didn't know if they were aware of the situation or not. The major problem we had was the lack of communication. We just wanted them to react to us. Now we can see things being put in place, now we can see effort being made and that will be credited to the noise that's been made, the campaigning that's been made around the world. We are grateful for all the attention." 

CNN: Does she welcome foreign support?

"This has been going on way too long and there's no shame asking for help and in taking it. The truth is, terrorism is not only our problem, it's not a continent problem, it's a global issue and we all have to come together to help it because at the end of the day this is a breach of human rights and it sgouls concern each and everyone of us.

Ogun State: The Bleeding Rocks

When Adesola (not real name) gained admission to study Accounting at Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ogun state in 2010 her joy knew no bounds. The last two years have been challenging for the family. Right after she finished her secondary school education in 2008 she lost her father to the cold hands of death and the responsibility to cater for her needs and that of her only brother was automatically placed on her mother. Even though things were not so bad for the family as the income for sustenance was being generated from the medium sized stationery store built by the father few months before his death, the fear of placing the whole responsibility on her mum and the unending accusation and counter accusation from family members especially from her paternal linage on the possibility of her mother being responsible for the death of her father was unbearable and traumatic. So even though she was offered admission in 2009, she deferred.
