The Founder ACTS Generation, Laila St. Mathew–Daniel has referred to the response of the government to the protesters, over the abduction of 200+ Chibok girls by the Boko Haram sect as very “derogatory and confrontational”.

She noted that if the president could not attend to the protesters, the speakers should have appealed to these protesters rather “the statement is very derogatory, confrontational and demeaning to Nigerians”.

She said the protest is directed to the government because the government is supposed to look after the people. “the protest is directed to the government and the leader of the government is the president, we want to be believe that a lot is being done but there are still bombings, people are killed” she noted.

Speaking on Channels Television’s breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, Mrs. Mathew-Daniel stated that the protest cannot be directed to Boko haram because they don’t rule Nigeria instead it’s the government that Nigerians are asking, “Nigerians are asking the government what is happening, we are not happy, what are you doing about this situation”.

Mrs. Mathew-Daniel noted that today makes it 39 days since the Chibok girls were abducted and nothing has been done, “the international community has come in supposedly but we are not hearing anything instead its today Jos bombings or tomorrow another bombing, please what’s next?” she questioned.

She also called for attention to be drawn to the parents of these girls, adding that there are still killings in the same area and there are reports saying some parents are dead due to the shocking news of their abducted daughters; she therefore stressed that when these girls are out, they should be given psychological therapy.
