[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 1323155, member: 1"] [URL='http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2014/5/5/nigeria-protestsboko.html'][B]Anger swells against Nigeria government in response to girl abductions - Al Jazeera[/B][/URL] Three weeks after the kidnapping of close to 300 Nigerian schoolgirls by the armed group Boko Haram, an organic and growing protest movement has put the Abuja government under a microscope and ignited a national debate about whether the Nigerian state can provide adequate protection for its citizens. Reports on Monday suggested that Nigeria’s First Lady, Patience Jonathan, personally intervened against leaders of the protest movement, claiming the demonstrators should be arrested and blame themselves if anything happened to them. The reports were twin PR disasters for President Goodluck Jonathan’s government, which has already been roundly criticized in the aftermath of the abductions for perceived incompetence and foot-dragging in the search to find and return the kidnapped girls.
