Chibok girls revel in New way of life in America.

After finding a way to escape from the hands of islamic insurgents, boko
haram, four of the over 200 Nigerian school girls, were taken to the United
States of America, where they are currently being taken care of.

Cosmopolitan magazine’s Abigail Pests, who has been spending some time
with the girls since they arrived the American territory, disclosed in an
interview, that the girls are finding everything in Oregon where they have been
living, absolutely strange and different.

After the traumatic experience of being kidnapped and the risk of escaping
from the terrorists, the girls were very withdrawn and have been undergoing
counseling of different sorts to reinstate them psychologically.

And according to BBC reports, although they are still hoping to see their
friends some day, the girls are beginning to adjust to the new lease of life that
the US presents, despite the fact that they have been unable to reach their
family members as well as their relations, who have been displaced by boko
haram.

Abigail tells the story of how the four girls; Mercy, Sarah, Deborah, and Grace
have adjusted to their new lives.
“It was really hard for them because everything was a reminder for them, that
they had left their families, their relatives and some of them who lost an uncle,
cousins to boko haram killing. It has been difficult to reach their families and
relations, you know telecommunication has been a problem in Nigeria,” she
explained.

One of the girls had jumped off a moving truck to escape from the terrorists
who reportedly disguised as soldiers, a situation which Abigail thinks was a
very big risk to take considering the fact that she could have lost her life or
limbs in the process.
She explained further that the girl have been trying to settle down in the US as
everything seems entirely new to them since they had a really poor
background.

According to her: “It is a wholly new world, everything is new to them. They
grew up in poo rural villages, they had not been educated before. They had not
used a computer before the school gave them i-pads and they told me they
mapped out to take selfies, how to use the facebook, they are learning a whole
lot of stuffs.”

Abigail said that the girls are still nursing the dreams of being reconciled with
their friends whom she says were classmates of the escapees.
Some of the girls who escaped were recently hosted by the United States
Congress.
