  By Professor Babagana Umara Zulum As a father of daughters, I can’t even imagine the pains of having one’s daughter held by terrorists for as long as seven whole years. However, I urge parents, especially anyone with a female child to pause for a while, no matter how brief, to imagine how it might feel to have one’s daughter abducted and held for more than 2,549 days so far. Imagine how parents and relations of these girls have been feeling in each of these days.

No parent can ever lose hope in a missing child and having that hope comes with so much pains of anxiety and depression.

They deserve our continued empathy, our compassion, our support and most importantly, sharing their optimism. As a fa...

Around 20 children were trapped in the blaze,” fire service commander Sidi Mohamed said on public television. “Rescuers set off rapidly and the fire was put out… but the power of the fire was enormous,” he added. “The children were not able to escape.” Public television, citing witnesses, said the fire had broken out at around 4.00 pm (1500 GMT), “when the victims were in class”.
