The Harsh Reality: The Never-Ending Mass Kidnappings in Northern Nigeria
by Levi Wise Kenneth Catoe Jr.
Nine years after Boko Haram abducted 276 students from a girls school in Chibok, 98 girls are still being held by Boko Haram, and a slew of abductions have taken place since, revealing the utter failure of the Nigerian authorities to learn from the heartbreak of Chibok and, ultimately, to protect children, Amnesty International is saying. As part of the BOSS mission to uncover stories that impact the African Diaspora that go unreported, we chose to dive into this conversation, as well as how it’s been allowed to persist this long. I sat down with an inside source from Nigeria who chose anonymity.
Levi Wise Kenneth Catoe Jr.: Hello how are you?
Anonymous Source: I’m well.
LWC: I have a question for you.
AS: Ok.
LWC: Why are there mass kidnappings plaguing Nigeria currently?
AS: That’s over ten years now and it happens frequently in the Northern part of Nigeria.
LWC: What is it about I’m not familiar with?
AS: It's this terrorist group, disturbing Nigeria for years now. But they're camped in this desert in Nigeria. So they abducted over 400 Chibok school girls killed most of them and got the rest pregnant. The group is called the ‘Boko Haram’. [Note: Boko Haram is usually translated as "Western education is forbidden". "Haram" is from the Arabic حَرَام (ḥarām, "forbidden") and the Hausa word boko (the first vowel is long, the second pronounced in a low tone), meaning "fake", which is used to refer to secular Western education.]
LWC: Are people in your country scared? Are they Black or Middle Eastern Muslim groups? And why does it still plague Nigeria?
AS: They're probably from Chad or Somalia but they're Muslims though and some evil Nigerian politicians are the ones funding them. The government backs them up.
LWC: So, are you scared or are Nigerians living in fear of them?
AS: They're not in Lagos. They are in northern Nigeria and our troops have them under control.
LWC: Oh, ok good to know as far as Lagos.
AS: It got to a stage when they abducted some American tourists. And the American government sent some elite groups to carry out the rescue mission. It was successful though.
LWC: Oh ok, I wasn't familiar until I read about the abductions today; I was under the assumption that this was all recent.
AS: They mainly target the Hausas. It's really deeper than you imagine.
LWC: As far as what the government involvement?
A: Yes, they're protected by most of our corrupt government.
LWC: But the government in northern Nigeria is separate from Lagos, correct right?
AS: Yeah, but the northerners have the highest power in Nigeria.
LWC: OK now I see.
AS: That's one of our biggest problems in the country now. They feel like they own the country. And the Muslims so just imagine how brutal they'll be.
LWC: So the government feels they own the city or the Muslims?
AS: The Muslims do.
LWC: Oh, so in your opinion the Muslims own the country of Nigeria?
AS: Yes, it’s the Muslims that own the government and both Christians and Muslims are doing their very best to destroy the economy of Nigeria.

Latest National and Local Breaking News in Nigeria
In today's fast-paced world, staying updated with the latest news is essential, especially when it comes to national and local breaking news. Nigeria, a country known for its diverse culture, vibrant cities, and complex socio-political landscape, is no stranger to news that captures the attention of its citizens. Let's dive into the significant events making headlines today:
National News:
Political Developments: In a significant political development, the National Assembly has passed a new bill aimed at reforming the electoral process. The bill, which has been in the works for several months, proposes changes to voting procedures, campaign financing, and the role of independent electoral bodies. This move is expected to shape the upcoming elections and potentially enhance the transparency and fairness of Nigeria's democratic processes.
Economic Growth: Nigeria's economy is showing signs of resilience as it records a higher than expected GDP growth rate for the past quarter. This growth is attributed to increased agricultural output, a boost in manufacturing, and steady progress in the technology sector. Analysts are cautiously optimistic about the potential for sustained economic development, but challenges such as inflation and unemployment still require attention.
Security Concerns: On the security front, authorities have successfully carried out a series of raids targeting criminal elements across various regions. These operations have led to the arrest of several individuals involved in organized crime, arms smuggling, and cyberattacks. The government is intensifying efforts to ensure the safety and security of its citizens.
Local News:
Education Initiative: In local news, a grassroots education initiative is gaining traction in a rural community in northern Nigeria. A group of volunteers and educators have come together to establish a community-driven school aimed at providing quality education to children who have limited access to formal schooling. This heartwarming endeavor showcases the power of local communities in driving positive change.
Cultural Festival: Residents of a vibrant southern city are gearing up for an upcoming cultural festival that celebrates the region's rich heritage. The festival will feature traditional music, dance, art, and cuisine, providing a platform for both locals and visitors to immerse themselves in the cultural tapestry of the region.
Infrastructure Upgrade: A long-awaited infrastructure project has been initiated in a bustling urban center. The project, which focuses on upgrading local roads and transportation networks, aims to alleviate traffic congestion and enhance connectivity within the city. This move is expected to have a positive impact on the daily lives of residents and businesses.
In conclusion, today's national and local breaking news Nigeria underscore the dynamic nature of the country. From political reforms and economic growth to grassroots initiatives and cultural celebrations, Nigeria continues to make strides in various domains.
