CNN's Isha Sesay Grills Nigeria's Ambassador To US, Prof. Ade Adefuye

CNN has been my best news station for the past few days now because the total focus has been on Nigeria, and rightly so.

In local parlance, the saying goes thus: "It is only a good friend that will have the courage to tell you that you have a smelly mouth."

The same can not be applied in Nigeria because if you tell someone his/her mouth is smelling, you stand the risk of offending such person.

I'm so happy the international community is telling us our mouths are smelling.

And this couldn't have come at a better time when Nigeria is hosting the World Economic Forum in Abuja admist high security tension.

The issue of the missing Chibok girls started like child's play. Everyone didn't read meaning into it up until the United Nations and the United States started talking about the seriousness of abduction of school girls as a serious international crime.

The World Economic Forum has been overshadowed by the issue of abduction, and trust CNN's correspondent, Isha Sesay, she has been speaking with every relevant person at the Forum.

Just some few minutes ago, she had a chat with the Nigerian Ambassador to the United States, Professor Ade Adefuye and asked him what the government is doing as regards to securing the release of the girls, he says he couldn't divulge that information on air.

Isha also told him that this whole insurgency could have been avoided had the government not been negligent in their duties to the northern part of Nigeria, but Prof. Adefuye replied with a very disappointing remark that the problem of the north east has been there prior to the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.

I thought to myself, what a response! The previous administration is responsible for all this?

Why then are you in power if you end up blaming the previous administration.

Also ever since this issue became this publicised, why haven't heads rolled? No one has been sacked, nor queried.

No one knows for a certainty, the actual number of girls kidnapped.

If this were Lagos, maybe this issue would have been handled properly.

Without doubt, this whole issue has brought serious embarrassment to the Nigerian government.

I won't say much though. It is my prayer that these girls are released on time.

And trust CNN, they won't stop focussing on Nigeria, as long as the US is involved.
