Hello everyone, my name is RR ZEUS and I would like you to take the time out to please sign this petition to help make a solid voice be heard that we want justice for the over 250+ young Nigerian school girls that was kidnapped. And that the perpetrators be brought to justice for their malicious and violent acts. LETS TAKE A STAND TOGETHER AND LET OUR OWN GOVERNMENT AND AROUND THE WORLD HEAR THAT WE DEMAND RESCUING AND JUSTICE FOR THOSE YOUNG LADIES!!!

Thank you in advance,


RR ZEUS


(Please read the backdrop story...reported by The AP)


LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — The girls in the school dorm heard the sound of gunshots from a nearby town. So when armed men in uniforms burst in and promised to rescue them, at first they were relieved.


"Don't worry, we're soldiers," one 16-year-old girl recalls them saying. "Nothing is going to happen to you."


The gunmen commanded the hundreds of students at the Chibok Government Girls Secondary School to gather outside. The men went into a storeroom and removed all the food. Then they set fire to the room.

"They ... started shouting, 'Allahu Akhbar,' (God is great)," the 16-year-old student said. "And we knew."


What they knew was chilling: The men were not government soldiers at all. They were members of the ruthless Islamic extremist group called Boko Haram. They kidnapped the entire group of girls and drove them away in pickup trucks into the dense forest.


Three weeks later, 276 girls are still missing. At least two have died of snakebite, and about 20 others are ill, according to an intermediary who is in touch with their captors.



Some of the kidnapped girls have been forced into "marriage" with their Boko Haram abductors, sold for a nominal bride price of $12, according to parents who talked with villagers. Others have been taken across borders to Cameroon and Chad, they said. Their accounts could not be verified, but child marriage is common in northern Nigeria, where it is allowed under Islamic law but not the country's Western-style constitution.


In the meantime, the parents are frantic. Through sobs and jagged gasps for air, the mother of a missing 15-year-old said she had lost confidence in the authorities.


"I am so very sad because the government of Nigeria did not take care of our children and does not now care about our children," said the mother, who spoke on condition of anonymity to protect her daughter. "All we have left is to pray to God to help them and help us."
