110 DASHING DAPCHI VIRGIN DAMSELS




For the spoils of innocence they strive.
For the rape and ruin of morals they strive.
Insatiable pedophiles,
Honking unquenchable lewdness,
Ripping bare the great tree of morality:
School children's panties soiled
In unholy carnal knowledge.
Adults' phalanges thrust into kiddies' crevices:
110 dashing Dapchi virgin damsels
Taken through rolling hills and ordeals,
10 times Israelites journey,
Through underground routes of forest thickets,
Gracing lewd sexual appetites
In distant hideouts
On the ruins of glory -
Irate molestation.

  1. On 19 February 2018 Boko Haram (roughly translated as "[Western] education is sinful") kinapped 110 schoolgirls from the Government Girls' Science and Technical College in Dapchi, Nigeria, some 275 km (170 mi) northwest of Chibok, where the terrorist group had kidnapped 276 schoolgirls in 2014. In both cases it took the government days to respond and then took little effective action. Four years after Chibok, Boko Haramabout retained possession of about 1/3 of the abductees, and most of the freed girls had been ransomed by the government. However, most of the Dapichi hostages were ransomed on 21 March with warnings that they should not return to school; Leah Sharibu, who refused to convert from Christianity to Islam, was not released.
