Chibo Abduction: Education is programmed to fail - CAN Leader

When he released the list of abducted Chibok girls last week, Evangelist Matthew Owojaiye, caused more than a stir. The Kaduna-based founder of Food for the Total Man Ministry spoke with newsmen on why he released the list and the insurgency challenges in the north. Sunday Oguntola was there. Excerpts:

Last Sunday, you jolted the nation by releasing names of some of the abducted girls. Let’s start by asking you why?

Actually some people are even saying nobody was abducted, as if the story was cooked up. Can you imagine that? If your daughter was abducted and there is no trace three weeks after, how will you feel? Then someone comes to say there was no abduction. And that it was only from one local government that the girls on the list came from, just Chibok local government. That is where the school is located. Other people from other places sent their children to the school. We couldn't get their names because we had no way to.

Is that why you had only 180 names of the kidnapped girls on the list?

Yes, you are very right. There were more girls kidnapped but only the ones from Chibok local government could be traced. So, it is just a partial list for just Chibok girls. Two, they knew that Chibok local government is 90% percent Christian. Why didn't the abductors go to other boarding schools in Borno State that are still running?

Ugandan President: Boko Haram 'Ideologically Bankrupt' - Nigeria Government Must Not Negotiate With Them

The Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni speaks out on the activities of the Boko Haram Islamist Jihadist, saying that there is no any reason why Nigeria Government should negotiate with the terrorist who are hell bent in attacking the innocent and defenseless citizens in the country's North-Eastern states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa.

According to him, there is no point trying to negotiate with Boko Haram militants, as they are "ideologically bankrupt" and must be defeated, President Museveni has said on a live BBC programe yesterday.


His comments came as the leader of the Islamist group threatened to "sell" more than 230 girls seized from their school, in Borno, Nigeria, on 14 April. It has also been reported that eight more girls between the ages of 12 and 15 were kidnapped in north eastern Nigeria on Sunday night.
