The Award winning Gospel singer Erica Campbell [Mary Mary] has joined the campaign for the rescue of 234 Missing Nigerian girls.
It was like yesterday, but to be honest with you, it's now been two weeks since 234 girls from a Nigerian boarding school were kidnapped by armed terrorists.
The singer who posted several messages on her Instagram page to show her support for the missing girls, says...
"We spent all weekend talking about Donald Sterling, did anybody
see anything about the 234 Nigerian girls that are missing in the news?? Whenever ignorance takes over the news there is always something important being ignored… #mythoughts.
Guys, on April 16 hundreds of schoolgirls between 16 and 18 years old disappeared from the town of Chibok, Nigeria. At the time, it was believed that the terrorist group Boko Haram drove the girls into Sambisa Forest, a known criminal stronghold. But new reports indicate that the missing girls may have been transported further out than expected, even outside the country.
One of the Chibok community leader, Pogo Bitrus, said and I quote:
"Some of them have been taken across Lake Chad and some have been ferried across the border into parts of Cameroon,"
Residents of the area reported that many of the girls had been married off to the insurgents in mass ceremonies, while others were sold off as cooks or sex slaves.
"It's a medieval kind of slavery," Bitrus added.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of these girls and we pray that they will be rescued unharmed.

We can only pray that God will bring these girls back home. I've joined the campaign to contribute my own quoter.
Pls Boko guys #BringBackOurGirls *angry*
My thought is this: if we are really saying these 234 girls were sold to other nations at least they are not babies. Am sure one of the would have spoken out from whereevr they sold her to and they would be tracable. Am saying one out of 234 girls would have seen a means of communications if its true they were sold to other nations.
So are we saying boarding house is not safe again?
