Nigeria abducted schoolgirls
May 8^th, 2014 at 8:29pm

Quote:

Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani schoolgirl who survived a shooting by Taliban insurgents, has said the world must not stay silent over the abduction of more than 200 girls in Nigeria.

She told the BBC that "if we remain silent then this will spread, this will happen more and more and more".

The girls were kidnapped more than three weeks ago by Islamist Boko Haram militants in north-east Borno state.

I tell you what.. .if they had a wealth of Oil in Nigeria the US and its allies would have been all over it like stink of sh** ...

they'd have invaded the country for the greater good..

but after three week, all we are now getting is some "strong words" ...

for goodness sake...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_reserves_in_Nigeria

Quote:

, there were 37.2 billion barrels (5.91×109 m3) of proven oil reserves in Nigeria as of 2011, ranking the country as the largest oil producer in Africa and the 11th largest in the world, averaging 2.28 million barrels per day (362×103 m3/d) in 2006. At current rates this would be 45 years of supply if no new oil was found. Pipeline vandalism, kidnappings, and militant takeover of oil facilities have reduced production, which could be increased to 3 million barrels per day (480×103 m3/d) in the absence of such problems. The Nigerian government hopes to increase oil production capacity to 4 Mbbl/d (640×103 m3/d) by 2010. Nigeria is the world’s eighth largest exporter of crude oil and sends 43% of its exports to the United States. Nigeria is heavily dependent on the oil sector, which accounts for 95% of its export revenues

Nigeria's president says Boko Haram's mass abduction of more than 200 schoolgirls will mark a turning point in the battle against the Islamists, as world powers joined the search to rescue the hostages.

President Goodluck Jonathan's administration has struggled to contain Boko Haram's bloody five-year uprising and experts have questioned whether Nigeria can end the violence without help.

'I believe that the kidnap of these girls will be the beginning of the end of terror in Nigeria,' Jonathan on Thursday told delegates at the World Economic Forum, thanking Britain, China, France and the US for their offers of help to rescue the hostages.

The four world powers have pledged varying levels of assistance to track down the girls whose April 14 mass abduction from a school in Chibok in northeastern Borno state has sparked global outrage.

Jonathan's comments echoed those of US President Barack Obama earlier in the week.

Obama said the Chibok kidnappings 'may be the event that helps to mobilise the entire international community to finally do something against this horrendous organisation'.

The abductions have also led to a growing social media campaign with the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls joined by public figures and celebrities.
