Washington Post slams GEJ for using the #bringback hashtag for campaign

Below is what Washington Postwrote about president Jonathan's
supporters using the #bringback hashtag for his campaign
It was the social media campaign of the year. #BringBackOurGirls awoke
the world to the ravages of Boko Haram, an al-Qaeda-linked terror
group in Nigeria, and the plight of the millions of people who live in
the midst of their insurgency. At the heart of the message were
hundreds of missing schoolgirls, abducted in April from the remote
village of Chibok by Boko Haram fighters, who vowed to make them into
slaves. Continue...

The #BringBackOurGirls hashtag channeled both sympathy from abroad and
local outrage and concern in Nigeria, with many angry at the
government of President Goodluck Jonathan for being unable to free the
captured women.

But four months later, the girls have yet to be brought back despite
the efforts of the Nigerian military as well as U.S. counter-terrorism
forces deployed in neighboring Chad.
More than 200 girls remain missing in suspected Boko Haram captivity.
Others have perished from snakebite, illness and deprivation in the wild.

Boko Haram itself has continued its slaughter this summer, and seized
more territory in the country's restive northeast. Over the weekend,
it stormed towns along Nigeria's border with Cameroon, killing dozens
of innocents.

Nigerian forces are now fighting Boko Haram in pitched battles around
Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, the main hotbed of Boko Haram's
operations.
The U.N. reports that at least 1.5 million people have been displaced
by the conflict since Jonathan's government declared a state of
emergency in May.

But the gravity of the moment hasn't stopped some in Nigeria from
appropriating the tragic hashtag for rather cynical purposes. Banners
emerged in the capital Abuja over the weekend showing Jonathan
alongside a new slogan: #BringBackGoodluck2015. The campaign appears
to be the work of supporters of the president, keen for his reelection
in presidential polls next February. It's not clear whether Jonathan
has officially endorsed the new hashtag, but its seeming ubiquity
suggests that he is not opposed to it.
