As the world celebrate the importance of women in the collective growth of the society, it becomes highly imperative to call for the urgent rescue of our future women, the Dapchi school girls that were kidnapped by the deadly Boko Haram terrorists in Yobe State.

If there is any utmost responsibility and duty of government that must be taken with all manner of seriousness, it is indubitably the security of lives and property and the Nigerian government is not excluded from this indisputable onerous task.

It is saddening and sickening to see our future women spend such a special day, in the den of Boko Haram.

Do we say the Nigerian government has failed to learn from history or do we ascribe the kidnap of these promising future leaders to the complacency of those who are expected to defend us? But then, the question is; who are expected to defend us? Are we going to remain silent and allow our future women to become accidental mothers or a sharp tool of bomb explosion? These and many more questions that should serve as a ringing bell on the mind of every responsible leader and a conscience filled Nigerian.

It is no longer a fable that, rather than show empathy for this great national embarrassment and failure before the comity of nations, our leaders are engrossed in how the return to power is made a realistic dream; when some of the electorates are either crying over the loss of their loved ones or over the disappearance of their hope for tomorrow.

Rather than devise all available strategies to rescue these young ladies, those in authority are enmeshed in argument over whom to blame for the kidnap.

What a sharp contrast to the normal standard of human conscience.

However, the government and stakeholders in the country must be reminded that our women and girls deserve better protection because they emanate from us.

Our failure to defend the female gender amounts to our collective failure as a nation.

All hands must be on deck to ensure the safe return of these future women whose faith are hanging on the air.

The citizens must also free themselves from the normal arms folding practice and join in the rescue mission of our future women whom I think incontrovertibly deserve our support either by giving useful information on their whereabout or through our prayers for their safe return.

Also, the International community must take into cognizance that an act of terror on a nation is an act of terror on the world.

Hence, they must join our dear country Nigeria in bringing back our future women because, they too deserve to be celebrated.
