Boko Haram 1 | Page 26

Hundreds of schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram Source Evidence The source of this video is from MSNBC with commentator China Okasi. China is reporting on the issue regarding #bringbackourgirls, and how Nigeria failed to bring back the several hundred missing schoolgirls. China offers several facts during the video although, nothing is cited. Set aside the facts, and she is offering many opinion based statements. She makes also doesn’t know how many schoolgirls were kidnapped and states that it was around 200 to 300, but she didn’t know for sure. Motive Although China is commentating about issues surrounding Boko Haram throughout the video, she doesn’t exactly know what is really going on. She is an opinion journalist (Okasi, 2016) that simply states issues and her opinion on those said issues. This suggests her motive is for pure entertainment. Logic When listening to this video, it is clear that China is advocating for the kidnapped schoolgirls as she was born and raised in Nigeria herself. It was clearly presented but it’s all opinion based and there is no logic to what she is presenting. Left Out This video clip would be stronger had the facts been reported vs. opinion. A lot was left out and it was all opinion based rather than why those schoolgirls had not been found. 25 26
