North gives Oby Ezekwesili a technical knock out, as she accuses Buhari's daughter of hijacking her BBOG project idea

The feud between Nigerian former minister of education, who is now the leader of the famous Bring Back Our Girls, BBOG, group, Oby Ezekwesili, takes a new twist as she finally responds to another group being led by President Muhammadu Buhari’s daughter, warning it against the use of the BBOG name for fund raising.

According to information reaching us the Africa Support and Empowerment Initiative, AFRISEI, led by Hadiza Buhari-Bello, had previously overruled accusations of breach of licence by the Bring Back Our Girls, BBOG, group.

According to the group “The Africa Support and Empowerment Initiative has its own defined objectives and that it didn’t need to steal anybody’s ideas to operate in line with its own objectives.”

This is a result of the BBOG’s condemnation of the usage of their writing during the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the Chibok Girls Endowment Project, that occured on Monday in Abuja.

Accordingly, the BBOG placed an urgent request asking the group led by Buhari’s daughter retract and apologise to the BBOG, and advised the masses to reject any move made to link the group to the occasion.

On the contrary, Mrs. Buhari-Bello stated that, AFRISEI did not need to lean on the BBOG to be of service to the Chibok Girls.

Though she extoled the efforts made by the BBOG for all the publicity it made to create a lasting awareness about the predicament of the Chibok school girls, the president’s daughter further said her organisation had broader objectives which goes beyond the Chibok girls.

“Given the size of the problem at hand, the more organisations we have assisting Chibok and other devastated communities, the better for the country,” her group said.

She said, as a charitable organisation, AFRISEI is committed to empowering the youth and the less privileged in the area of job creation and skill acquisition.

“It is also committed to supporting the education of the less privileged students, giving material support to the downtrodden; the internally displaced persons.

“AFRISEI is committed to educating the masses to discourage unhealthy practices such as child trafficking, child abuse, child labour and gender discrimination.”

But Mrs. Ezekwesili responded on Twitter Friday, insisting the BBOG should not be mired in request for donations.

“What’s hard to understand? From the outset in 2014, @BBOG_Nigeria DECIDED that the Movement shall NEVER be mired in DONATIONS. Simple,” she tweeted.

“WE, @BBOG_Nigeria DON’T RAISE FUNDS. If your organization is RAISING FUNDS, don’t call it “BBOG STAKEHOLDERS”. ETHICS matter, not so?

“A people that keep blurring the lines between Good and Bad,” she wrote.
