Security fears rise in Nigeria after more than 300 schoolchildren kidnapped

I'm so worried about what's happening in Nigeria... these mass abductions are just too much. It's not fair that 303 students and teachers are being held hostage like this. The fact that schools have been shut down as a precaution is just another example of how the government is struggling to cope.

I think it's amazing that US officials are stepping in to put pressure on the Nigerian government to take action. We need leaders who care about their citizens and will do everything in their power to keep them safe. But it's also frustrating because we know what's happening - the bandit gangs have been causing chaos for years, and the government needs to get its act together.

I feel so bad for the families of the kidnapped kids... how are they going to cope with this? The president canceling international engagements to focus on resolving the situation is a good start, but we need concrete action soon.

omg what's going on with nigeria i feel so bad for those kids being taken away like that u think the gov is just not doing enough to keep people safe? i mean it's always a big deal when ppl are kidnapped but this one's crazy 300+ students! and what about the ones who r still held captive? does anyone even know where they r?

i was just talking to my friend about nigeria earlier and she told me about all these attacks on schools and stuff. i feel like we should be doing more to help them out, but at the same time, how do u even stop someone from kidnapping kids? anyway, it's crazy and i hope they can get those kids back safe and sound
