About 230 girls are still believed to be missing, prompting widespread criticism of the Nigerian government...

It appears the government of Nigeria isn't going to do jack shit, but then again, I wouldn't expect much from them given their "love" for gay people. Where is the emergency UN Security Council meeting? Sadly, I doubt much will be done.
