I had planned to ask questions on why it is getting curiouser and curiouser as in Alice in Wonderland that Dangote has been exporting crude oil from a far country, the United States while Nigeria exports same product.
On her birthday last week, a pastor close to Leah Sharibu’s family called on the Nigerian government and the international community to end their “unfathomable” and “strange silence” and help secure the young lady’s release. Reverend Para-Mallam highlighted that Ms Sharibu herself “appealed to the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Christian Association of Nigeria to act to rescue her” in a video released six months into her captivity. He went on to call for prayers “that one day Leah will come out of Boko Haram’s captivity”, together with “several other Christian girls”, as well as “Muslims still in captivity against their will”.
The Guardian had in the same 2018 manifested Citizen Leah as its “Person of the Year”. In an accompanying article titled, ‘Leah Sharibu: ‘a goddess of resistance’ the newspaper had written, “… till date, despite President Muhammadu Buhari’s acceptance of our charge to do everything to free her, she has since become the symbol of Nigeria’s refusal to give in to agents of darkness, hell-bent on dividing the country and appropriating a section of the nation’s territory unto themselves.
Indeed, her story teaches her beleaguered nation that even in these seemingly dark, uncertain hours, there is still enough light of courage and character by which to find our way home. Her defiance has thrown up the Boko Haram insurgents for who they are: lily-livered rogues who have neither ideological nor tenable religious convictions.
While 104 of her colleagues were released on March 21, 2018, five of the hapless girls died in captivity. Although, the then Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed announced then that the 104 girls’ release was unconditional, the refusal of the terrorists group to release Leah since then has questioned this view and buttressed some perception that the Federal Government’s negotiations through a back-channel then actually led to the release of the 104 girls.
He too promised to deal with the reproach as quickly as possible. Again, till the present, there has been no update from the NSA’s office on the plight of the unlucky girl. It is incredibly reproachful that Nigeria’s “goddess of resistance to terror” is still being held hostage and the government appears unconcerned about that tragedy – of Leah and the remaining 90 Chibok schoolgirls.
