Nigerian pop singer and UN Peace Ambassador Peace Adokiye has caused a
social media storm and has also caught the attention of international
news agencies-Daily Mail and Independent for offering her virginity to
Islamic militants Boko Haram in exchange for the return of hundreds of
kidknapped schoolgirls.
The 23-year-old musician and actress from the country’s Imo State, told
Vanguard, “It is just unfair. They are too young. I wish I could offer
myself in exchange.They are between 12 and 15 year old girls for Christ
sake. I am older and more experienced. Even if 10 to 12 men have to take
me every night, I don’t care. Just release these girls and let them go
back to their parents.”
Her comments received a mixed reaction via social media. Some fans
praised her offer as “brave” and branded her a “hero” and some others
have tongue lashed her too.
