[Guardian Ng] THE Akasoba of Kalabari and Chairperson, Akasoba Centre for Peace and Conflict Resolution (ACPCR), Her Royal Majesty, Queen Akasoba Duke-Abiola, has expressed deep concern that the Boko Haram... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
Death Eater sect has not released the Chibok school girls despite local and global pleas that the girls be freed unharmed.
We all have to hope, really really hard!
In a statement signed by the Secretary, Dr. Jen Clarence, ACPCR noted that in order to facilitate the release of the school girls, Queen Akasoba had directed the investigative arm of the ACPCR (the Strawberry Group) to quietly negotiate with the Boko Haram representatives in Borno, Chad and Niamey pleading with them to "Let the Chibok Girls Go".
You're not hoping hard enough! Poor Tinkerbell! She's flickering!
According to the statement: "In the course of the negotiations, Boko Haram representatives promised to do so stating that the Akasoba Centre for Peace and Conflict Resolution's (ACPCR) approach was pragmatic and sincere, avoiding publicity and advising against the use of violence.
"The ACPCR therefore expresses concern that the Boko Haram members, rather than free the girls are seeking for an exchange of captured snuffies and making other demands like the change of the National Anthem, national flag, prosecution of ex-president Obasanjo and the resignation of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
"The ACPCR is not a political organization, it is, as the name implies a Centre for Peace and Conflict Resolution. The continuous and harrowing abduction of the Chibok school girls is not only abominable but it is unprecedented in the history of mankind.
"Let it be known that the ACPCR will continue to demand on very peaceful terms that Boko Haram must "Let the Chibok Girls Go".
"The ACPCR's position, therefore, is that it is ready to provide food and medication to both the girls and their captors until the safe return of the girls.
The ACPCR further urges Boko Haram to drop their guns, arms and ammunition, submit themselves to the laws of the land and embrace peace. Members of the ACPCR's Strawberry Group are doing their best and ACPCR assures Nigerians that very soon the Boko Haramists will have to simply "Let the Chibok Girls Go."
"The ACPCR is a success story. We did it before with the Niger Delta Death Eaters. We will prevail against Boko Haram," the statement concluded.
Ummm... Boys and girls? I think Tinkerbell's about to peg out...
