Craig Norris and Boko Haram

Boko Haram: "I just could not believe that this was happening in the country from which I came from, because when I left Nigeria there was nothing of this kind. It just didn't seem to make sense, it didn't add up," Oba told Craig Norris on The Morning Edition Friday. "It was mostly shock, disbelief, which then turned into sadness." , according to CBC. "At the time I left, there was nothing like Boko Haram. This is a totally new thing," said Oba, who immigrated to Kitchener-Waterloo in 2001. Local mother Funke Oba says when she first heard that nearly 300 girls were abducted from their high school classrooms in her former homeland of Nigeria, she was in total disbelief. T hree weeks ago, the Islamist militant group Boko Haram abducted almost 300 girls in north-eastern Nigeria and is now threatening to sell the girls into slavery. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
