23-year-old Nigerian pop singer Adokiye has taken social media by storm after sge stated that she is willing to sleep with 10-12 Boko Haram members and lose her virginity in the process in exchange for the return of hundreds of kidnapped schoolgirls. 

 

The singer, who is also a peace ambassador, told Imo State Nigerian newpaper Vanguard: "This is 11pm in the night and do you know what I am thinking about? Those little girls, where they are and what could be happening to them. 

 

"It is just unfair. They are too young. I wish I could offer myself in exchange.

 

"They are between 12 and 15 year old girls for Christ sake. I am older and more experienced. Even if 10 to 12 men have to take me every night, I don’t care. Just release these girls and let them go back to their parents."

 

The singer’s offer has met a mixed reaction, with some citing her bravery and potential self-sacrifice while others saw it as a publicity stunt and addition to the problem.

 

Twitter user Singhatul2014 said the offer was 'very touching' and that Adokiye should be given a Nobel Peace Prize.
