Students from all parts of the world gathered to say NO to kidnapping of girls in Nigeria


Students from all over the world meet last week, 10 May 2014, at the two days East African Regional Conference held in Catholic University of East Africa, Nairobi, Kenya to join the #BringBackOurGirls Campaign.


Japheth Omojowa, a Nigerian blogger, socio-economic and political commentator, environmental consultant and social media expert, in the conference emphasizes the need for students to embrace the use of Social Media. 


 The “bring back our girls” campaign using the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls has focused global attention on the plight of over 200 Nigerian school girls kidnapped by the Islamic militant group Boko Haram. Three photos of girls have been posted and re-posted thousands of times, including by the BBC and by the singer Chris Brown (who himself has had issues with anger management and violence against women).
