SAN FRANCISCO, September 10, (THEWILL) – Some Christian women in Nigeria, under the aegis of Women’s Wing of Christian Council of Nigeria, WOWICCN, on Friday described the 2014 abduction of over 200 female students of Government Secondary School, in Chibok, Borno State by Boko Haram insurgents as “a big scam.”
Addressing journalists during the organisation’s 2nd biennial national convention in Abuja, themed: “Women-Goodly Heritage”, National President of WOWICCN, Rev. Mrs. Omatsola Williams said aaaasome people are now using the #BBOG campaign to promote themselves and their pockets.
The group then warned proponents of the campaign for the release of the Chibok girls to retreat, saying “Nigerians should not toy with Nigerians because before they know it, women will arise and they will see the other side of women.”
According to Williams, “For me, I don’t believe that there is (any kidnapping of) Chibok girls. We should not use the lives of people to play ‘Jambo’ (game) at all. Some people are using this to make money. How thick is the Sambisa forest that (military) people cannot penetrate? Food for thought; when you come to Niger Delta area, there is no secret. Nigerians should not toil with Nigerians because before they know it, women will arise and they will see the other side of women.”
Speaking on the current economic situation in Nigeria, she declared that it was high time “we all returned to the drawing board and make use of “our God-given talents.”
The WOWICCN President said that the country had a lot of opportunities if well harnessed, which could turn around the fortune of the people for the better.
“Let all of us go back to the drawing board and forget about oil. Nigeria is a blessed country, a fertile land that has a lot of opportunities to tap. We have forgotten, even the talents given to us, we don’t want to use it. Now is the time, the era of white-collar jobs is over,” she declared.
