Young Virgins For Sale In Maiduguri! (a satire)

Over 200 girls, stolen, hidden!

It's almost three weeks now and each day that passes chips at our hope, as we pray that our young girls kidnapped from Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno state are found.

Many people have lost faith in the government because our leaders, but for a few, act like thy are unperturbed and our security forces seem to be perplexed.

Now, the abductors have threatened to sell the girls, young innocent teenagers, sold into marriage or slavery!

Just yesterday, Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, in a chilling video says he will sell them "like goods in the market."

I share with you my poem:

VIRGINS FOR SALE IN MAIGUGURI

At night thieves stole our pretty ones!

Faceless cowards with spitting guns

...

Government is looking, parents weeping

Army is shooting, the people hoping

Young girls groan in Sambisa den

Locked by beasts in goat pens

Lost in ignorance they steal our women

ADVERTISEMENT

And – proudly, they claim to be men

Now, seeking knowledge is a taboo

To the wise they give a boo(m)!

Come buy a wife, it'll cost you nothing

He who finds a wife finds a good thing

Virgins on sale! Interested? Hurry!

I wait for you in dusty Maiduguri!
