Nigerians in US rally against Boko Haram

    Hundreds of Nigerians in Chicago in the U.S. on Saturday held a solidarity rally, demanding that the terror group, Boko Haram, unconditionally release the schoolgirls abducted in Chibok, Borno.
Over 200 girls were abducted from their school in Chibok on April 14. The Nigerians, during the rally, also demanded greater U.S. support for the Federal Government in its war against Boko Haram.
    The rally titled #unitedagainstbokoHaram: #bringbackourgirls was also organised in Atlanta, Dallas, Greenville SC, Los Angeles, New York, Washington DC, Windsor Canada and Belmopan Belize. Participants at the rally carried placards with inscriptions such as “Nigeria needs support to fight terrorism’’ and “Stop Boko Haram’’.
Other placards read “Obama, please help stop Boko Haram’’ and “we love the girls, bring them home’’, among others.
       I'm happy to see events like this. It might not be much but we should all contribute in our little ways to make the world a better place.
I must also express my anger that these innocent girls, after all said and done haven't been brought back to their families. I constantly imagine the agony their parents must be going through. We have also received disturbing reports of the girls been raped, trafficked and shot. It is all to horrifying! #BringBackOurGirls
