Ibrahim Abdullahi told ITV News: "It's really gratifying to see how the hashtag has created so much awareness of the abduction and atrocities of the wicked Boko Haram insurgents worldwide."
It all began 14 days ago, one week after the girls were brutally abducted from their school in the village of Chibok.
Ibrahim was in the audience for a speech in Port Harcourt by Obiageli Ezekwesili – a Nigerian former minister who called for the government to take action to "bring back our daughters".
There had already been a large number of tweets calling for the government to #BringBackOurDaughters – but Ibrahim felt "we may all not have daughters but everyone has a girl".
