#bringbackourgirls protest holds in abuja.

Protesters calling for the release of 21
schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram
militants are now set
 to mark the six-month anniversary of their abduction with a march on the presidency.

Members of the Bring Back Our Girls campaign were planning to walk to President Goodluck Jonathan's official residence in Abuja to keep up the pressure on the government to bring the missing teenagers home. The march is the culmination of a series of events in the
past week, including a candlelit vigil, to keep the fate of the girls in the public eye, as media coverage and on- line interest wanes.

 It will interest you to know that at a point funeral rites was contemplated by the elders in chibok for these missing chibok girls resulting from the long overdue time they've been away in the hands of the deadly Boko Haram group.


Parents have run the gamut of emotions in the last six months, from initial hope to despair and back again.

But the discovery of a girl last month... who was kidnapped by Boko Haram in January, brought a renewed hope that indeed with more efforts these girls would be found.

Campaigns still running

The girls' initial weeks in captivity sparked a frenzy of media coverage and interest on-line, where the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls trended on Twitter and was retweeted the world over.
Bring Back Our Girls campaigners have since held regular marches in Abuja, even as global attention shifted elsewhere and foreign missions involved in the search grew frustrated at the lack of progress.
