Thank you for taking ten minutes for CNN STUDENTNEWS. I'm Carl Azuz. It's great to see you.

We are following up on a story we told you about before. It happened in the West African country of Nigeria. Police there say 223 girls are still missing after a terrorist group kidnapped them from their dormitory on April 14. Many Nigerians don't think their government is doing enough to rescue the girls. Hundreds have been protesting in the city of Lagos. Their nation's president says his government would find and free the kidnapped teenagers. Meantime, people around the world are trying to spread the word about this atrocity.

Almost 200 schoolgirls missing for more than two weeks. How did that happen? Nigeria's no stranger to problems with militant groups, but they've never seen something like this before.This militant group, Boko Haram, their name means western education is a sin. They went into a high school filled with girls, took them out and many of them haven't been seen since. Moms,dads, grandparents-villages are going out into force and they are not seeing the Nigerian government, they are not seeing the Nigerian military, they are not seeing the people who they expect to be out there looking for their girls.

The Nigerian armed forces say they will keep on looking for the girls until they find them, but they admit that they are being unindated with information they believe might actually be a ploy to try and destruct them, but the people-they are frustrated, they are upset and many of them feel that they have nowhere else to turn except for social media.

All you have to do is type in a few letters, BRI and immediately, #bring back our girls pops up.Not just Nigerian, but people from America to Australia hoping to get the attention of their governments, maybe they can do something to try and find these girls.

So, I was just looking at the CNN Facebook page and saw Nigerian after Nigerian asking for more attention, pleading to send just another reporter so that these story can be seen by everybody. And that these girls can be found.

You just heard that Boko Haram is the group responsible for the kidnapping. It's a militantIslamist organization with ties to the al Qaeda terrorist group. A video released on Monday shows a man who claims to be Boko Haram's leader. He says he kidnapped the girls, that he plans to sell them and that Western education should end. He then encourages girls to get married instead of getting an education. One student who spoke to CNN says that's not what most of the girls themselves want.

And we need to go to school so that we can be who we want to be, because many girls-if you-if I wish you could talk to many of us, we are going to have their dreams. I want to be a lawyer. I want to be a nurse. And it's very-I think you can get only like 2 percent that will tell you, I just want to marry and just be a mother, just be a housewife.
