The 200 Nigerian schoolgirls that were kidnapped back in April 2014 have been married off, according to Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau

With the most recent attacks on the people of Nigeria, many have asked about the 200 Nigerian girls kidnapped last April from Chibok …Whatever happened to the #BringBackOurGirls campaign? Well according to the Associated Press video of the leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau said that there has been no cease-fire in Nigeria, and that no agreement had been made to free the girls. He also announced that the girls had all been converted to Islam and married off, squashing any hopes that the girls would come home at all.

The issue of the girls is long forgotten because I have long ago married them off. They have now memorized two chapters of the Quran.

This tragic abduction attracted international outrage, with demands that Boko Haram free the girls via hashtags, and celebrities with signs on red carpets that read #BringBackOurGirls; yet the campaign seems to have ceased. The Nigerian government and military’s failure to secure their release has brought criticism that President Goodluck Jonathan isn’t doing anything to help the victims. The President claims because of the delicacy of the tragedy, any moves they make have to be strategic. So in other words, it’s just as likely that we can expect the Nigerian girls will return home, as much as we can expect Biggie Smalls return to Hip Hop.
