Last year’s brazen abduction of hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls by the Islamist extremist group Boko Haram sparked the #BringBackOurGirls campaign and ignited outrage on social media. Almost all of the kidnapped schoolgirls from the town of Chibok remain captives today, but other Boko Haram victims are escaping, emerging from the forests of northeastern Nigeria traumatized and, in some cases, impregnated by their former captors.
The victims are being met with medical care and assistance from an assortment of NGOs, but now a group of U.S. Religious Left officials are calling for the Obama Administration to end a ban on taxpayer-funded abortions in order to terminate the pregnancies.
“Now as women in Syria, Iraq, Nigeria and many other un-named places have been subjected to systematic sexual abuse, rape and forced marriages, religious leaders in the United States are responding to the moral imperative of our faith traditions by calling for action on behalf of women and girls raped in war,” declared the Rev. Harry Knox, President of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice (RCRC), a group that advocates for unrestricted abortion.
RCRC has long received most of its financial support from secular philanthropies that seek to expand access to abortion, but the group counts denominations like the Episcopal Church and unofficial church caucus groups like Catholics for Choice among its affiliates, all providing a veneer of religious approval for abortion-on-demand.

Stuart Bowen once said; “what’s occurred is that an insidious insurgency, an incessant has repeatedly assaulted the crucial infrastructure targets, reducing outputs”.
Thus, the overall development of a state influences, and Nigeria as a country has been adversely impacted by insurgency.

Thus, the Boko Haram insurgency Nigeria is currently faced which has shown that Nigeria is prone to terrorism and terrorist attacks.
Second, the revenue that will be used to carry out other huge developments in the nation will be used for the purchase of equipments, topnotch arms, weapons, machineries and
the likes which will aid the tackling of the insurgency in the state.
