At PMQ's today David Cameron said that our money provides for 800 thousand children to be educated, 600 thousand are girls. I don't think they are middle class.
This is a news story that has been covered from the outset by T.V. The problem is not by our lazy news stations, it was and still remains top coverage on Aljazeera, then again that is usually the case for world news as they are a better source of world news than say the BBC. I wondered if and when we would see it on our screens.
They had an interview yesterday, you might be able to find it on internet, with the Nigerian Education Minister who was attending an international convention in Doha. He was so laid back he was almost horizontal. At one point he said the government could not speak to Book Haram as they were 'faceless' . Then later in the interview he said they had been in 'dialogue' with them. If he was is typical of the Nigerian Government then I can imagine they didn't really give a s--t.
I think it was reported at one stage the Nigerian First Lady even said it hadn't happened, I have no confirmation of that point.
We have been offering help but until now Nigeria has refused.
