Armed men abduct children at Catholic school in Nigeria days after previous kidnapping

this is so sad the kids can't even go to school in peace anymore they need our help & support in getting them back safe we all have to come together as a global community to make a difference these kidnappings are not just about the kids, it's also about us, the people who care for their future

Another day, another school kid snatched from their books . What's going on in this country? Can't these people see we're all human beings?! The system is supposed to protect the vulnerable not profit from them. I'm so tired of hearing excuses and blaming each other for these heinous crimes. It's time for some real action

It's just another example of how lax security measures can lead to catastrophic consequences . I mean, come on, St. Mary's School knew they were taking risks reopening despite intel warnings? And now, 52 kids are gone... it's just heartbreaking . The stats are wild too - over 1,500 students abducted since the Chibok incident... what's going on in Nigeria?!

And let's not forget about the hypocrisy from Trump here . Threatening sanctions over Lagos if they don't protect Christians? It sounds like a case of "do as I say, not as you do" . And Nigeria's response to these allegations is to call themselves a "God-fearing country"? That's just laughable... isn't that supposed to be the government's job to protect its citizens, regardless of their faith?!

Anyway, back to the issue at hand - the Nigerian government needs to step up its game when it comes to school security and protecting its children . These kids are just innocent victims in a complex web of corruption and violence... no more excuses!

This kidnapping wave in Nigeria is absolutely devastating . I mean, 52 schoolchildren taken hostage? That's just heartbreaking. The government has to do something about this ASAP . It's not like they haven't had warnings before, you know? Like the secretary to the Niger state government said that St. Mary's School ignored intel warnings and still reopened... it's just ridiculous.

And can we talk about how this relates to Lagos being under scrutiny from the Trump admin? I mean, I get why the US is concerned about Christian communities in Nigeria, but shouldn't they be focusing on solving the root cause of these kidnappings instead of threatening sanctions? It's like, hello, help us find a solution!

And honestly, it's just so frustrating that this has been going on for years now. 1,500+ students abducted... what even is the number anymore? I just want to see some real progress and action taken by the government. This is getting old, fam

this is just getting out of hand... I mean, can't these schools be more proactive about security? like, we know there's been intel warnings, but do they really have to reopen without proper clearance? it's not just the kids who are at risk, it's also the staff and the community.

and don't even get me started on these gangs targeting schools for ransom... it's so sad that people feel like this is a way to make money off innocent lives . meanwhile, the Nigerian government is trying to reassure us that everything is fine, but at what cost? I just want all those kids back home safe and sound, ASAP!
