Nigeria's kidnap crisis: Twenty-four schoolgirls freed over a week after abduction in Kebbi state

omg can u believe this is still happening in nigeria? these schoolgirls were just 17 & they're still living with the trauma of being abducted... it's so heartbreaking i feel like the gov't should be doing more to keep these kids safe, especially with all the security forces being deployed now. but at the same time, u can't blame the bishop for speaking out about the lack of action... some1 has gotta hold ppl in power accountable

man this is so concerning ... it's like, what's going on in nigeria right now? first it's 24 schoolgirls taken, then over 250 more just last friday... that's like, hundreds of kids gone missing and nobody knows where they are . the government saying they don't have info, but the church is saying they do... it feels so fake to me. bishop bulus dauwa yohanna is right though, the gov needs to step up their game and start taking action . we can't just sit back and watch these kids get taken away from us... something needs to change .

Can't believe these schoolgirls have been through so much already... 24 girls just released after being held captive for nearly a week is still so many! My heart goes out to all the families who are still searching for their loved ones, especially with the numbers of missing kids from St Mary's Catholic boarding school in Niger State that are so high... like over 250! It's not just about the numbers though, it's also about why this is happening. Is it a lack of security? Or maybe more than we think? The government needs to take responsibility and get to the bottom of this ASAP. We need answers on what's going on and how they're gonna make sure these girls are safe...

omg this is so sad i cant even imagine being one of those schoolgirls going through that its like they were just playing and then BAM kidnappers take them away what really gets me is that some ppl are saying if 300 kids are taken but dont know if all of them r still alive it feels like the government isnt doing enough to help these kids or their families president tinubu trying to send in more security tho thats a good move i guess we just gotta keep hoping these kids get rescued soon

Ugh, this is just getting out of hand ! Can't believe we're still seeing these abductions happen every year. I mean, what's going on? Is our government just not doing enough to keep our kids safe? President Tinubu saying more security forces will be deployed, but it feels like a Band-Aid solution . We need real solutions here, not just empty promises.

And the thing that really gets me is how the governor and the bishop are downplaying the numbers of missing children. Like, what's the deal with that? Are they trying to hide something? It feels like we're just being kept in the dark about what's really going on here.

I'm not even going to bring up the whole jihadist thing... it's just so messed up . But seriously, how can we keep our kids safe when there are people out there who don't care? We need action now, not just words .
