Chibok Girls Assaprogopwa Aaron

Chibok Girls They were young, saintly, pretty, ambitious and full of life in addition to having very promising futures respectively and even collectively. In addition to being beautiful, innocent and young; they had more importantly demonstrated great strength and doggedness even in the face of adversity. They were bold and daring enough to venture against festering odds and dehumanizing norms against their gender and worst still coming from a region where the girl-child education is still particularly not only frowned at but is also traditionally viewed as antisocial and in some instances even antireligious. Amongst the 'Chibok Girls' is an extra-ordinary character, one carrying the burden of a huge prophecy from the gods, a prophecy that was perhaps too heavy for her young shoulders. Her name is Maryam. Obviously, there is so much that is yet unknown about the now globally renowned 'Chibok Girls' apart from the fact that they were abducted and are still in the captivity of their terrorist abductors. Perhaps if only the world has got even a clue into the individual and collective lives and times of the 'Chibok Girls' before the abduction, that just might go a long way into not only unraveling the mystery of the whereabouts or fate of the girls as the case may be but better still teach us some vital lessons on who we truly are as a people and a nation. This book therefore ultimately seeks to unravel a miniature representation of our individuality and responsibilities as a people and a society, of our leadership and above all our nation -Nigeria; for in the mystery, misery and adversity of the still missing 'Chibok Girls', the dilemma of the 'Nigerian state and her people' is depicted. Perhaps and just perhaps, this book might provide some insights into the whereabouts of the Chibok Girls. Chibok Girls is a truly inspiring and thought-provoking story that is worth reading, you would see.
