About 230 girls are still believed to be missing, prompting widespread criticism of the Nigerian government...
...In the video, Abubakar Shekau said the girls should not have been in school in the first place, but rather should get married.
"God instructed me to sell them, they are his properties and I will carry out his instructions," he said.... MORE

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.

They don't eat pork because for Boko Haram it would be cannibalism.

Their only goals are to brainwash and terrorize Innocent people. Poor kids, I hope somebody can rescue them. No doubt Crazy Leader will sell them into slavery.
