The special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on Niger Delta Kingsley Kuku, Friday, accused Northeast leaders of lying over the actual number girls abducted by the Boko Haram sect few months back. Kuku, who doubles as Chairman, Presidential Amnesty Programme, noted that the Americans have used their Drones to conduct search for over one month without finding the abducted girls. The presidential aide stated this while delivering a lecture entitled “Challenging Current Security Issues For National Transformation: The Way Forward”, at the 10th Convocation ceremony of the Benson Idahosa University, Benin City.
According to him, North-East leaders had failed to find a lasting solution to the insecurity challenges in the region.
He recalled that during the militancy era in the Niger Delta and the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) struggle in the West, Niger Delta and Yoruba leaders met with leaders of the groups and stopped the crises in their various areas, wondering why it had been difficult for Northern leaders to stop the Boko Haram insurgency.
His words: “Look at the issue of Chibok girls: they said they were 273 writing Physics, all the girls in one common village called Chibok. I am from Ondo State and our only resources is education. Let us think well, I am not saying that there are no Chibok girls. But in your own village where education is revered, since 1970, have you really seen 50 girls writing Physics in one day? Let us think about it, 273 girls writing Physics; that means there is need for science in Nigeria.
“I used to join the protest ‘Boko Haram release our girls’ but I got home and thought about it. The next thing America started abusing us, they even made American First lady to join the protest but later she stopped. And Americans came and started complaining that we don’t have equipment to search for the girls, then the President said okay please come and help us.
“They roamed the airspace and for over one month Drones were used but they could not find one girl. And I replied Senator Mccain, who was describing our President as one guy, and I told him, ‘your country came but could not find traces of these girls for one month so what are you saying?’ I said, please America come back and find these girls for us, you are our father. They said they could not wait again and they left.
“And as at that time, the government of Russia made a statement on the internet that they will not waste time to join in this dream journey and that if Nigeria was serious and the international community wanted the truth that they should see what exactly was happening in the premises of the government of Borno State. People underplayed that statement but the whole world came and the girls are yet to be found.
“In Abia State today, the highest enrollment for WAEC, we assessed Umuahia which is the capital, we did not go to a community like my community, we did not find 70 students enrolling for Physics in a school but in Chibok, a community, I first heard in my life when this incident happened, we saw 273. Then you can see the gimmick, they will come up to say seven came out, they escaped.
“After two weeks they said another seven ran out of the bush. And the first lady of this country tried to move into the matter, Nigerians started abusing her that she was not a mother. We like abusing First ladies in this country, now she has kept quiet, go to the internet, they have started complaining that she is not talking again. Then when she speaks they will say she talks too much.”
I have been reporting on latest news from Nigeria for almost 10 years now. I report on every possible news area I come across, but always ensure my reports are compiled with dignity and fact to uphold my personal values and duty as a journalist

Yes i feel your words. It is good that the truth is coming out and this will be an eye opener to some Nigerians who does not know anything about the deadly plans of the north to take over power by force. At least some touts who used to abuse the president will know that Chibok abduction is nothing but scam. Meanwhile, the northern fools have killed so many Nigerians just simply because they need power at all cost. President Good luck Jonathan will lead Nigeria again come 2015 or else there will be disintegration. The country will be divided if the north does not want peace. End of Discussion. HRH.

Bring back our girls# If the Chibok case is fake why did GEJ say he knew where they were? Why did we allow foreigners enter our country in order to search for them? Where did BH see the picture of over 200 girls they release. According to Yahoo news of a werks back before ebola wahala America showed a footage of over 200 girls around sambiza area. Who are those girls? I now know for sure that all the SAs and SSA of GEJ need to go back to Politics 101 bcos they are not helping him at all. If he comes back in 2015 it will be due to the fact that ordinary Nigeria wants him back, all his advisers are just after their stomack they cannot see beyond their potbellies. Nigeria as the gaint of Africa, how are we benefitting from that fact? The bh has annexed part of northeast and put their flag there, is that a lie also? NAOWA northeast branch blocked the barracks and refused their husbànds participate in the fight against the bh bcos of high level sabotage in the military operations in the NE.I tell you young officers are dying dailly, all bcos some people refuse to do their work. Recently over 100 young boys were kidnapped in NE and Chad was able to rescue over 50 of them. Is that a lie also? It is very easy to become a hero in Nigeria - just do your work and everybody will praise you.

Kingsley Kuku and others should stop playing politics with the lives of these young kids …..I am wondering if he’ll be saying the same had the children of top politicians were kidnapped. Kuku is nothing but a mouth-piece for the government. He does not even have any proof
Just yesterday as reported by BBC: Chadian soldiers 'rescue 85 Nigerians from Boko Haram' http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-28824379 What is our government doing? Nothing but needs $1 Billion
