Boko Haram: Group calls for renewed efforts to free Leah Sharibu
The Gideon and Funmi Para-Mallam Peace Foundation has urged the international community to step up diplomatic efforts to secure the release of Leah Sharibu, who has now spent seven years in captivity.
Leah Shaibu was among the 110 schoolgirls kidnapped from Dapchi, Yobe State, by the Boko Haram terrorist group on February 19, 2018.
While all the other girls were later released, Leah, at the time of this report, remains in captivity, totaling 2,557 days of her capture.
Speaking in Jalingo, Taraba State, on Wednesday, during the anniversary of her abduction, the foundation’s Executive Director, Gideon Para-Mallam, expressed disappointment over what he described as the silence of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration regarding Leah’s plight.
He urged the government to build on the previous administration’s efforts to secure her release and called on First Lady Oluremi Tinubu to intervene.
“As a mother, she should use every legitimate means to bring Leah home to her parents,” he said.
Para-Mallam also appealed to Leah’s captors, urging them to show mercy and release her.
“It is heartbreaking that Leah is still in captivity while all the other kidnapped Dapchi schoolgirls have been freed,” he lamented.
Drawing a comparison with the case of Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai, Para-Mallam called for a unified effort across religious and ethnic lines to demand Leah’s freedom.
“As the world rallied for Malala, we must also stand up for Leah and ensure she regains her freedom,” he stated.
He reaffirmed the foundation’s commitment to securing Leah’s release and commended individuals, groups, and organizations working tirelessly to support the cause.

“It took me getting married and giving birth to realise marriage benefits men more” — Woman shares emotional thoughts
A woman has stirred serious conversations online after opening up about how marriage and motherhood changed her perspective on life.
In a heartfelt reflection, she said it was only after getting married and giving birth that she began questioning who marriage truly benefits.
According to her, women often carry the heavier load — emotionally, physically, and mentally.
She explained that marriage can make women feel like tools, responsible for cooking, cleaning, caring for the home, and even contributing financially, while still bearing the full weight of pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare.
She questioned why something described as a “blessing” should come with so much pain, stress, sleepless nights, and emotional strain for women.
In her words, childbirth comes with intense pain, followed by years of responsibility that largely fall on the woman, while many men continue life almost unchanged.
She admitted she never strongly pushed for marriage herself and only went along with it after family pressure. It was the lived experience — not theory — that opened her eyes.
While she made it clear that she loves her son deeply and finds joy in him, she said motherhood also forced her to confront uncomfortable truths about expectations placed on women.
