Kidnapped school girls.

On April 15th 2014,  about 276 girls (according to media sources) were taken away from their hostels by Nigeria's own terrorist group Boko Haram. Weeks after the abduction of these girls, the Nigerian government did nothing. It took a couple of hashtags and social media involvement to get the word out to the rest of the world.
I mentioned on one of my Facebook status that if these girls were from Spain, or Mexico or a non African nation, trust me the news would have hit all the news stations in the world. But it took 2 weeks after the abduction for the rest of the world to join in the search of these girls.
Sad as it may look, when the missing Malaysian airline went missing, in less than 24 hours investigations began, and the search also began. There were around 200 passengers on that airline and around 200 black 15 to 18 year old girls. 
Unfortunately,  the Nigerian government lacks the skill to fight terrorism (lacks all other skills). This is a big one for the president Goodluck Jonathan.  I hope they get prepared for events like this in the future.  (I doubt)
