I'm expecting to see what #IAmNorth and Arewa Twitter responses would be to Buhari on Leah Sharibu's child birth.

I want to see if they'll justify this since child marriage is a norm in the North.

You received the ambassador while Leah Sharibu was tortured and forced to renounce Christianity and raped till she got pregnant for a terrorist leader. You have daughters Aisha but you never for one day stood up to demand for Leah Sharibu's release. https://t.co/O6alQvi54Q

On this Leah Sharibu issue, let's call a spade a spade. The government FAILED! Which one is "we failed her as a nation"? Call out the government for their failure and stop making it sound mild by saying "we" failed her. what should the ordinary citizen have done?

#BokoHaram abducted Leah Sharibu sometime ago, forced her to denounce Christ, married her off forcefully, raped her continually, and now she's given birth…
…And as always Nigeria is silent like nothing ever happened…

Nigeria is really a failed state 😢 pic.twitter.com/9rKjJoA9RY
