On Monday, Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau (pictured), not only claimed responsibility for the abduction of girls who attended Government Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State, Nigeria, but he also brazenly threatened to sell them to the “marketplace,” according to the Associated Press.

Reportedly beginning with a number of Boko Haram shooters releasing bullets from rifles and shouting, “Allahu akbar (God is great),” the hour-long video featured Shekau allegedly saying, “I abducted your girls. By Allah, I will sell them in the marketplace.”
An unnamed intermediary claims that Boko Haram now wants to negotiate ransoms for the girls, which are numbered at 267, according to the AP.

In addition, the intermediary says that some of the girls are ill, while others have reportedly died of snake bites.
“An intermediary who has said Boko Haram is ready to negotiate ransoms for the girls also said two of the girls have died of snakebite and about 20 are ill. He said Christians among the girls have been forced to convert to Islam. The man, an Islamic scholar, spoke on condition of anonymity because his position is sensitive.
Meanwhile, with each day that passes, the Nigerian government appears increasingly incompetent and/or negligent in securing the students.
On Sunday, Nigeria’s First Lady, Patience Jonathan, reportedly added to negative perceptions when she allegedly ordered the arrest of two leaders of protests over the weekend. And to add insult to injury, Jonathan, according to those arrested, questioned the validity of the abduction, while accusing the protestors of belonging to Boko Haram, which infamously means “Western education is sinful.”
As the news broke about the First Lady’s dubious stance, her office swiftly denied the reports, but Saratu Angus Ndirpaya and Naomi Mutah Nyadar reportedly told a different tale, claiming that they were taken to a police station for their protests. According to Ndirpaya, while she was soon released, fellow leader Nyadar remains imprisoned.
It will be three weeks tomorrow since more than 200 teen girls were abducted from their school. More recent reports indicate that not all of the students were enrolled at GSS due to testing that caused other students from surrounding schools to go to the school for the exams.
Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has been harshly criticized for his perceived negligence of the issue, spurring desperate parents and concerned citizens to take retrieving their daughters in to their own hands. When that wasn’t fruitful, though, due to a lack of state and federal support, they protested with a number of marches that were picked up by online media and social media, spurring protests around the world over the weekend.

ill buy them all back and give them to their parents.
Wish I had the money to buy these girls back n give them back to their mothers,terrible,absolutely terrible
This story, from the moment I read it days ago, has weighed heavily on my heart and mind. Im infuriated! I am so MAD that I cannot find wordsto express just how mad I really am. I realize that the US cannot police the world, we do have the right and this country and their culture put little value on the lives of their women. I think what infuriates me the most, is the helplessness the families feel. The militants are armed and dangerous while the parents are unarmed and have no way to fight against these evil beasts. Our government has armed militants before and I pray that we, the US, are in no way responsible for arming this group and therefore indirectly contributing to this mass kidnapping of these young girls. I wish I could arm every one of of those parents and allow the militants to then speak so boldly with a stricken father and outraged mother armed and staring at them. These men make me sick, this government makes me sick for standing by and allowing this, even assisting with. Selling your own beautiful futures for pennies and lust. They should all be castrated.

Do the Boston Marathon 'bombing' or Sandy Hook school "shooting' propaganda publicity stunts ring a bell?
EXCERPTED FROM THE ARTICLE:
911 was clearly a false flag operation designed to destroy the US constitution and to make sure bank policy was US law. Few Americans realize it, but as a result of 911 the United States invoked martial law, and we continue to be under the burden of martial law to this day.
The kidnapping of 276 children in Nigeria is clearly a false flag operation. As we have the tools to figure out what happened and why. Here is what I want to say about that; the children will not be found. The entire planet is under 24 hour satellite surveillance. Kidnapping 276 children would require from twenty to thirty trucks traveling a long distance over open highway. There is absolutely no way the intelligence communities who operate those satellites do not know what happened.
So why the mystery?
The kidnapping of those children had nothing at all to do with Islamic Fundamentalism. What the media calls right wing fundamental Islam is a manifestation of Al-Qaeda. In Arabic Al-Qaeda means the list. The original Al-Queda was a list of ethnic groups in Afghanistan the CIA could hire to fight the Russians.
The global elite generates most of its capital from drugs, prostitution, illegal gun sales and child sex slavery. This money is then used to create a monopoly in energy and food resources. I believe the kidnapping of 276 Nigeria girls is a false flag operation designed to trigger a civil war.
I pray that I am wrong.
The reason I make this judgment is this; atrocities against children have been going on in Nigeria for as long as I have been traveling there over the past thirty years. What is different this time is that the atrocities are being covered by the media in the US. Oil companies in league with military contractors own the media in the US. They only present news that works to their benefit.
Afro com which is the name of US troops in Africa is poised and ready to stop any revolution that occurs in opposition to global bank policy in Africa. The strategy is to trigger a revolution before the revolution can become organized and effective to insure the crushing defeat of the opposition. The reporting of the kidnapping in Nigeria is designed to set the stage for the justification of an invasion.
This insanity must stop.
