Nobody is calling for their rescue or giving unrealistic deadline for their release because no Nigerian election is coming up in those places. This is an asymmetrical war with terror. Now, Boko Haram was reported to have "Married off the Chibok Girls".
It seems to some of us that "Comfort Women" (Kidnapping of hapless women and girls) is a key part of Islamic fundamentalism's ideology and our press are celebrating them like heroes.
As a press man since my university days close to 35 years ago, my journalistic training was to report the news and not force my views on the readers. They now bring people like Isha Sessay (unfortunately, herself a former victim of armed terror and women violation) to come here and pontificate as if fighting terror is a cake walk.
Back to ISIS or ISIL, they they are the ideological mentors of Boko Haram. Their suicide bombers are also waiting to meet 72 black-eyed virgins (somebody correct me please) at the other end, after suicide bombing innocent people.

Is that not the thinking of a depraved mind? So, "Comfort Women" are part of the sweeteners of their barbarism and then our media are here celebrating barbarism. The logical thing here, if Boko Haram propaganda that the Chibok Girls have in their words been married off is to be believed, is that they must be with their new terrorist "husbands".
Do we know where these "husbands" live? Then some politician comes around to grandstand about rescue. Rescue from where? Some people appear to know more about Boko Haram than Nigerians are being told. They speak very authoritatively about the terrorists like they are the "dog handlers" or "snake charmers".
We need to get serious and stop this celebration of evil because it suits our political preferences.
