It has been four weeks since more than 250 Nigerian schoolgirls were abducted from their boarding school. In that month, search efforts for the girls have been largely fruitless, even as media outlets continue to spread their story. It's caught the attention of communities around the world, including many Nigerian-Americans living in the U.S.
On Mother's Day, members of one of the country's largest Nigerian-American communities gathered in Bowie, Md., to lift their voices and protest signs. Janet Aiyegbusi, a hair salon owner and mother of two, organized the rally outside the Redeemed Christian Church of God. In the church parking lot, Temi Bodunrin sold red T-shirts emblazoned with the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls.
Bodunrin says the rally was a way for the group to express its sympathy. "We have to for our kids, for the girls. I'm the mother of three girls, so I can imagine — well, I cannot fathom, start to fathom what the mothers are going through."

we all need to cleanse aour country and our world of the the evil of islam, the koran with evil brain wasingmohammad and all of his evil rants and ravings for all of the weak minded savages.
Nothing new here... they have been collecting data on you for years. The DOT wants to put GPS units on your car to map where you go. Big Brother is here and watching your every move, Believe it! Unfortunately, the current members of the GOP are as bad as the Dems. November is coming.
We really need to start here taking care of our (legal) residents / citizens....before we trapse off to a third-world country and interfere with their problems.....
We have similar issues here - fix them first - then go after credit for helping the world!
How can we cry out "BRING BACK OUR GIRLS," - when they aren't ours to start with?
