What about Leah Sharibu?

Have we all forgotten about her?
Leah Sharibu is a fifteen year old girl that was among the 110 students of the Government Science and Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe State that was abducted by Boko Haram terrorists on February 19th last year, she was 14 as at that time. When other girls were released in March last year by the terrorists, only Leah was left behind because she refused to renounce her faith as a Christian. Her Parents(Nathaniel Sharibu and Rebecca Sharibu) weeped profusely when they heard of the news, they begged the Federal government to do something about it. Today is exactly one year that Leah Sharibu was abducted and nothing is heard about her.
Many others were abducted before her and after her that are still yet to be released. This terrorists are violating the rights of our fellow teenagers, their right to life, education, right to freedom of religion and lots more. Therefore, I beg all Nigerians to pray about the release of Leah Sharibu and other girls like her. Also, I urge the Federal government of Nigeria to endeavor to fulfill their promise in rescuing Leah Sharibu and other girls like her.

NEPA

Dark nights, hot days: You soil our fun and ruin our plays The fridge is warm, the stove is cold Hunger in the house is strong and bold You come and go, you go and come Unsure, unstable, like a dizzy bum A bright surge now, then a yellow candle Our darkest fears you hardly kindle Sweat at work, sweat in the homes In churches and mosques and their towers and domes Factories go without a hum The cost of your darkness is a pretty sum Our books unread, homework undone Though we stay awake till the dark, dark dawn Nepa, oh NEPA Some say you rhyme with 'leper' In your dark we grope And it's hard to cope By Niyi Osundare
