Nigeria's Kidnapped Children – BBC Africa Eye | Our World documentary


Kidnappers have seized more than a thousand students and staff from schools in a series of raids across northern Nigeria. The wave of abductions has had devastating consequences for the country, which already has the highest number of children out of education anywhere in the world. Parents face extortionate demands in exchange for the freedom…

  1. I think Nigeria needs a New Kidnapping App that puts together all the kidnapping that goes on in the country like Amber Alert in real time. When there is active Kidnapping on the app with Gps location that area can be quickly sealed and investigated. And any victim or eye witness can upload real time video and pictures on the App . So this becomes everyone effort to fight. And it is also time for Nigerian citizens be allowed to own Guns for protection like America make it our constitutional right. And l also think every citizen needs to get six months of free military training. So instead of terrorist hunting people, people will be hunting terrorist. I also think drones can do security scanning of all bushes looking for kidnappers and victims 24,/7. Instead of paying kidnappers Millions l think reward should be offered for identity and locations of kiddnapers and pay them a visit everyday. And when they are caught flog them too. I think reward should be offered for arrest of kidnappers they are the ones that need to be hunted down 24/7. If anybody encounters kiddnapers press a Red button and it automatically sends your location and collects video and audio evidence all at once. Once a Kidnapping in progress confirmed an alert and lock down of 60 mile radius . I also think the Red button on the App can also connect people to police network to file police report with GPS location and video evidence 😁. Kidnappers are like Grass and currently Nigeria is not cutting ✂️ any Kidnapping is to be made a federal crime with new jail system built to house them now a pandemic worse than Covid.

  2. if you dont pay ransoms then the government should send in the military, round up these despicable gangs and destroy them, not sit idly by and do nothing. my heart bleeds for these children and their parents. much love to all the parents and children from australia

  3. El Rufai himself and Buhari Invited them since 2014 because they wanted to take the Government away Ebele Jonathan and Ebele now left Voluntarily but El Rufai told the whole NIGERIA He has gone to give the Bandits some money to stop Kidnapping but they wanted to enjoy that Plenty Money NIGERIA Had.

  4. ‘He knows the pain of losing children’
    Has he lost one yet? No one should say they know or understand the pain unless they have been in that same position.

  5. Nigerian government is not part of the problem, they are the problem. We already know that members of the police force and military are forming alliance with the kidnappers and they divide the loots. God will punish and expose them in time.

  6. It is ok when you said you don't negotiate with criminals, but like Dorothy's father said, the governor needs to do something to prevent kidnapping as well. It is really sad to know that this crime happened in schools where children should be safe. 😞

  7. WTF they dont want family to give them money otherwise they prosecuted you (and anyway they dont have this money), BUT WHAT THE FUCK GOVERNMENT DOING ABOUT IT IN THE OTHER HAND?? Also the kidnappers ask 2 millions dollars to family living in poor area? They cruel AND fuckimg dumb! They watch too many americans movies and think people will magically have this money on the continent. There is no special unti like SWAT in Nigeria..? I thought the economy was good and they was one of the best country in Africa…

  8. So… the police and government is useless is what you are saying… got it.

    Ok, why are the kids sleeping at the school since this is happening? Why are there no guards since this is happening at the school?

    If they not paying ransom, then what are they doing to get the kids back?

  9. We saw it in slavery my ansester was kidnapped an sold by their brother the same thing happening again. They blinded by greed destroying young man who could be the next doctors engineer an lawyer it's really sad.

  10. The CURE for Nigeria and ALL other African countries (especially Black Nations) is to REJECT RELIGIONS OF ALL TYPES and employ CRITICAL THINKING, LOGICAL REASONING AND BASIC SCIENCES.
    You will see the fall of RELIGIOUS CRIMINALS, RELIGIOUS DICTATORS, AUTOCRATS AND ANTI- DEMOCRATIC DESPOTS.

  11. People kids are being kidnapped and the first thing they say is if they negotiate the parents will be prosecuted?? That is so evil, why aren’t they going out and getting those children back

  12. •Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. There is no other intermediary. May Jesus Bless you, trust Him, give your life – and He will take care of it :pray Convert yourself and believe in the Gospel – Romans 10 8-10 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”[a](A) that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9 If you declare(B) with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,”(C) and believe(D) in your heart that God raised him from the dead,(E) you will be saved.(F) 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

  13. Thank you for this documentary. The issue is that the government keeps mobilizing people for NYSC in the north and people have been kidnapped on their way there. If parents are able to afford it they should just send their kids at least to the north central, it seems like a better plan.

  14. Less than 40,000 views! 1st time I was aware, why isn't the world more concerned about this?
    Sadly no one is able to act on this atrocious as the world is crumbling around all civilization.

  15. It is so unfortunate what Nigeria especially the north has turned into due to the gross incompetence of the government. What do you expect from the commoners? When the President is allegedly a terrorist sympathizer

  16. Politician are definitely involved in this matter because they want to play dirty politics and they needs money and protection for future politics All are corrupt. Only children's are suffering and their parents I wish Nigeria would be free as soon as possible this kind of kidnapping and extortion and children leaved like a butterflies ❤🤞🏻
