#BringBackOurGirls: The Picture Story - Hundred Days After

It is now more than a hundred days that innocent schoolgirls were abducted from their school in Chibok in Borno State and they are still in captivity. This post is an imperfect pictorial representation of some of the activities that have trailed the abduction of the girls.
On the night of April 14-April 15, 2014, the girls were abducted and the wailing began...


The Bring Back Our Girls Campaign started:
And then, the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls began with this tweet:
The hashtag Campaign quickly spread all over the world like a wildfire:
Even the Pope joined the campaign:
The campaign was also carried out in other languages

And via other means
The protests also began
Some campaigners were harrassed:
And then, Malala came calling
Before Malala came, support had been pouring in from all over the world... including celebrities:
Students also joined
And even heads of government
And now at the moment, after hundred days of being in captivity, everyone is still hoping for the release of the girls and some are keeping vigil:
My earnest prayer is that the girls will be rescued very soon.
#BringBackOurGirls


P.S: Below are some videos relating to the Chibok abduction.
