It has been one year and eight months. The Chibok girls are still at-large. There have been two or three sets of girls paraded in the media but not a single parent has come out to shout "Hallelujah" or Allahu akbar" for getting his or her daughter/s back! The Boko Haram militants are inflicting mayhem on the populace each and every passing day. Those girls (most likely rape victims who are now underage mothers behind the veil of slavery and forced religious conversion) are still languishing somewhere a few hundred miles or less from the homes they had always known. Shouldn't it be time to find them - in whatever forms they are, and bring a closure to the most blatant public embarrassment our nation has endured in its recent history?
Anybody home?
