Eli,you’ve painted it so beautifully such that, I almost not just for once but through the entire post felt I was reading the narrative of the exact happenings two years ago.God bless you for giving us a moment to relive the sad moments and of course having to feel for ourselves through the reading. This is more than fictitious charlie!

In reply to Harry. Yo thanks for reading. We really appear helpless but i think for the fact that our govts have allowed it to happen over and over again pays little tribute to the 'memory' of these girls. It is like we don't care that they are gone and we don't care that others cld be kidnapped too.

Another good one, bruv. Terrific. The description, vivid; diction, even better. It’s now become hackneyed to voice how disgusted we are by what these terrorists are doing to fellow humans in the name of religion. We’re vulnerable, bruh, so vulnerable. And those girls who were abducted…hmm…it looks like we’ve forgotten about them but the real question is: what can you and I do? We can only pray that one of these days, the last number on their days is counted.

You really did capture the essence of the event from 2 years ago. Even though fictional, Its not farfetched and I believe this well thought through and beautifully penned piece is necessary in these crazy times!

In reply to victoryosaretin. Yo thank you very much for reading. Exactly what I wanted to do with this story: bring the girls back into the news. There are so many others there in the grips of these terrorists. Hhmm

Wooooooow, just wow. Very detailed and beautifully written. The sad part is that somewhere in Nigeria, this is a young girl’s reality. No matter how i want to think about it, the trauma they are going through is unimaginable. What can we do? I guess keep praying but it’s almost like they have been forgotten or the incident never even happened.
Talking about boko haram, how does strapping a bomb to oneself and killing thousands glorify God? Like how? I’m also guessing the death of thousands is now a justifiable as long as General Abubakar gets to sleep with 7 virgins in his after life. God help us.

I have a piece on this subject matter and would be very glad if you give it a read. Would tweet the link at you. More grace!
