80 children who were freed from Boko haram camp in Northern Cameroon by Cameroonian soldiers in November 2014 cannot remember their names or where they are from and are yet to be united with their families and loved ones.

According to Christopher Fomunyoh, a director for the US-based National Democratic Institute, the children range from 5-18 years of age and do not speak English, French or any local language.

Mr Fomunyoh in an interview with BBC's Randy Joe Sa'ah in Yaounde, Cameroon said the children had spent so long with their captors and have been indoctrinated into jihadist ideology that they had lost track of who they were.

"They've lost touch with their parents. They've lost touch with people in their villages, they're not able to articulate, to help trace their relationships, they can't even tell you what their names are."he said He said they are now in an orphanage where they are being rehabilitated.

There is a foul play 5-18 years can't remember their names and anything about their Village and Mother under how many years of hostages? Ask and think about that your self. I hope Cameroon are not trying to bring in bad eggs to Nigeria. Sometimes we need to think who is fighting against Nigeria and what is going On. We should be very careful with this so called Neighboring countries saying that they are helping Nigeria,and in fact Northerners should be Separated from Nigeria. Many terrible things will happen if Nigeria failed to put things in other or to divide this Nation.  I am laughing in computer words, www.htt.com.net.org us.au.hp error. shame to the Youths of Nigeria who cannot protest in some issues.

These children are Cameroonians and not Nigerians, I hope their government will take good care of them.
