This is Psy-War of the crudest variety.
THEY'RE RAPING AND SELLING OFF YOUR DAUGHTERS!!!!

"Sir Bob said social media alone would not solve the problem"
Ah, I see - he wants the US to invade. Of course.
And it's not "Sir Bob". It's "Bob Geldof, KBE".
'I hope the girls are alive and are reunited with their parents': Sir Bob Geldof speaks publicly for the first time since Peaches' death as he addresses plight of Nigerian schoolgirl hostages
- Sir Bob said social media alone would not solve the problem
- Celebrities have joined #BringBackOurGirls social media campaign
- Male stars are also uploading images saying: 'Real men don't buy girls'
- Campaign to recover the 276 girls kidnapped from their school in Nigeria
- Girls were kidnapped on April 14 by Islamist militant group Boko Haram
Sir Bob Geldof has spoken publicly for the first time since the death of his daughter Peaches - to address the plight of the Nigerian schoolgirls taken hostage by terrorists.
The Live Aid campaigner told Channel 5 news that he hoped the girls could be returned to their parents - but added that a celebrity campaign currently flooding social media with posts using the hashtag: #BringBackOurGirls, was unlikely to help.
Michelle Obama, Malala Yousafzai, Hillary Clinton, and Amy Poehler are among those lending their support to the social media campaign, which encourages military intervention to recover the girls who were kidnapped from their school by Boko Haram rebels in north-east Nigeria.

But Sir Bob said while people are keen to help, proper counter-terrorism measures now need to be employed.
He said: 'The problem with media like this, is that everyone wants to do something, but sometimes you just can't. There is a great feeling of frustration.
'The U.S., the UK and several EU states, the Russians - they know about counter terrorism.
The inquest opened in Gravesend, Kent, but after a short statement by the police, was adjourned until July.
Sir Bob spoke in a pre-arranged speech to a selected audience just hours after Peaches' death - but this is the first time he has addressed the wider world since the tragedy.
Malala Yousafzai told CNN that the kidnapped girls were her 'sisters'. Angelina Jolie also spoke publicly about the kidnapping, which she called 'unthinkable cruelty and evil'.
Michelle Obama shared a photograph on Twitter of herself holding up a sign reading 'Bring back our girls', accompanied by the caption: 'Our prayers are with the missing Nigerian girls and their families. It's time to #BringBackOurGirls. -mo'
The sign-off 'mo' means that the tweet was written by the First Lady herself and not a staffer.
The campaign refers to the kidnapping of 276 girls from their school in Chibok, north-east Nigeria, on April 14.
The Islamist militant group Boko Haram attacked the school, which had been reopened so that students could take their final exams, despite security concerns.
Most schools in the state had closed due to fear that Boko Haram, which opposes 'Western' education, including the education of girls, would attack.
On the night of April 14, more than 300 girls were kidnapped at gunpoint, but approximately 50 girls escaped by jumping off the back of the trucks as they drove into the Sambisa forest.
Family members of the kidnapped girls formed makeshift search parties and ventured into the forest to find the girls, armed with homemade weapons, but they have not found the girls, whom they now fear have been sold into slavery.
Militant: The leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, vows to sell the hundreds of schoolgirls kidnapped in northern Nigeria for as little as £7 during a video message
It has also emerged that the group had kidnapped another 11 girls from the village of Warabe in Borno yesterday, increasing the international pressure for the extremist group to be stopped and the girls returned.
Nigerian Police are now offering a £300,000 reward to anyone who can help them find the missing children.
Abubakar Shekau, the leader of Boko Haram said he would sell the remaining captives as slaves for as little as £7.
In a video, Shekau declares: 'I abducted your girls. I will sell them in the market, by Allah.'
