What happened to the Chibok girls? BBC Africa


Ten years ago 276 Nigerian school girls were abducted by Islamist group by Boko Haram from their school in Chibok, a town in the north-east of Nigeria. The kidnap caused international uproar and sparked a nation-wide campaign. But it would be two years before the first girl managed to escape. She and the others who followed were promised…

  1. Nigeria as a country is a joke and horror story. Repentant Boko Haram members have been rewarded with integration into the society, govt jobs and taxpayer allowance, while their victims have been held in captivity in deplorable conditions & not allowed to reintegrate. How can this make sense???

  2. Amina is a beautiful person. I pray she gets the help she needs. She is a survivor. I'm proud of her. She has to pit her own recovery aside to take of the child that was forced on her. Only God knows what she has gone through.

    There should be a go fund me to help. I will personally donate to this course. I'm so tired of watching my people in misery.

  3. Yall should calm down, Islam doesn't teach this nonsense, its dumb extremist groups, polititians and root of all problems 🥁 MEN and their ego so leave Islam alone

  4. Thank you Yemisi Adegoke for being the voice of these Brave Chibok Girls and for keeping this story alive with such compassion and integrity, and for asking the dificult and important questions that need to be addressed. It was so inspirational to hear Amina, a beautiful young woman, who nobaly has been able to not dwell on the anger she understandably feels when thinking of the injustices she suffered from all parties, but to focus on her daughter and building a life where both can thrive. xXx

  5. The US has the guts to call African Countries Shit holes, yet they aid and abate politicians do the corruption! There's no other way around it that the Nigerian government is paying 450 Million Naira to a US college! Why?

  6. I dont think their govt will do much. They are too busy looting the country and these girls are nothing but an inconvenience to them. And its interesting how a captive said she was treated better by the kidnappers, than her own govt. But then nigeria doesnt have a real govt, more a gang of overlords who will quite happily accept side cash from multinationals to keep their own citizens, silenced.

    Nigeria is not a country btw. It is a British enterprise called the royal niger company that entraps magnificent kingdoms and empires. That happened because back in the 1800s, the British had a brain fart, and they unilaterally declared nigeria, a country. It wasnt the smartest idea, but thats typical dumb ass poms for ya!!

  7. So sad for country like ours, where corruption have eaten all nooks and crannies of governance. There is no piety, empathy and care for the less privileged. May we one day witness good leadership in Nigeria that will turn around this bad reputations.

  8. Please Send This Video To Michelle O …. Let Her Explain What She Did Not Do And Now This Is The Result Of What She Did! She Shares Blame In The Suffering Of Those Who Escaped And Those Who Will Never Likely Be Free!

  9. So is the minister implying that the money should have been given to the girls and their parents instead of them going the school? I don't understand.

    But remember, not every victim is a victim regardless of their story
