  I did not want to mention this as I felt that my emotions would take over  and w ith that said I will only say the below: What is happening in Nigeria sickens me to my stomach. I am so embarrassed and ashamed to be a "man" in Africa .It is appalling to hear such stories and knowing you have a sister and a niece in school makes it even worse. How can someone who is father, a brother, do such a thing when they would never allow such to happen to their daughters or sisters. It is amazing how humans can forget humanity and become such animals. Maybe because I grew up without a father I have also looked at my mother as my Hero, which I can only imagine the feeling that a daughter has for their father as the saying " Daddy's little girl" and to be brutally abducted by the same sex that you regard as a hero is UN-imaginably.  This is my pledge for the campaign that has united the world:  "BRING BACK OUR GIRLS"
