A-List actresses, Mercy
Johnson, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde and Stephanie Linus Idahosa, have joined other well-meaning Nigerians and the world at large in condemning the kidnap of over 234 Chibok Secondary School girls by the Boko Haram insurgents.
Speaking in an interview with the press recently, Mercy Johnson noted that, “sometimes, our realities remind us of the pains of others. My reality as a mother is that I get to see my daughter every day, while the reality of the mothers of the Chibok girls is that they don’t even know where they are.”
She called on all well meaning Nigerians to come together and help their mothers who have been in pain for more than two weeks and make it a reality for them to see their children again.
The A-List actress stressed that insurgence by Boko Haram  is not a war against select group of people, but a war against all well meaning mothers in Nigeria as injustice to one is injustice to all. She said the mothers should arise, the men who love them should stand by their right hand and the children who adore them on their left and do all we can in our spheres of influence to ensure that the children come back home safe so that the mothers can smile again.
Mercy Johnson also appealed to the soldiers and other security operatives not the be demoralized, but to fight hard not to allow this evil people for once think that they can get away with this because if they ever get away with this, we will not be able to sleep with our eyes closed and that includes the soldiers, their wives and children.
Nollywood’s diva and producer, Stephanie Linus and the gorgeous actress cum singer, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, have also joined the list of celebrities calling for the release of the kidnapped Chibok school girls. These super actresses who are equally married to their loving husband expressed their dismay in the release of the girls. Stephanie in her various social media noted that, “we all deserve the right to be protected and we must continue to demand for change and value for our lives as Nigerians, praying for positive feed back and the safety of our girls.”
While Omotola stated “That “ there is so much they are not telling you… So much politicking with peoples’ lives and destinies, what a wicked world, there is no more time for fake “I belong” behaviours. This is war! War on our freedom and sanity . Now is the time to think selfless and act. We are not fighting aliens, humanity is at war with itself, power, money, fame, greed. If you won’t fight for yourself fight for your loved ones.”
