Jonathan, is Nigeria's most viewed non-music footage ever on popular
online video site, YouTube, the site's owner, Google, announced
Thursday.
The video, published in 2014 by Channels TV, showed Mrs. Jonathan
breaking down at a meeting over the abduction of about 276 schoolgirls
by Boko Haram insurgents in Chibok, Borno State, in a dramatic display
of emotion that drew global attention.
The meeting was the First Lady's first public acknowledgement of the
Chibok abduction, one of Boko Haram's mass kidnapping that shocked the
world.
Addressing a group of women, and the principal of the secondary school
where the girls were seized, Mrs. Jonathan launched into what seemed a
stagy show of grief, scolding the principal for her handling of the
insurgents' attack.
She questioned why the principal hesitated to honour her invitation
for a meeting in Abuja, and the circumstances of the kidnap.
With not satisfactory response from the principal, the Frist Lady
exploded, "All these blood you people are shedding, there is God o,
there is God o, God…o….Chai, there is God o," she lamented repeatedly
before dabbing tears from her eyes with a handkerchief.
Mrs. Jonathan's outburst was also transcribed to imitate her
inflection as, "All these blood you people are sharing, diaris God o,
diaris God oooo, all this bloods you are sharing, chai, chai, chai
diaris God oooh".
The video drew wide attention across the world, at a time the
international community was fixed on how the Nigerian government was
responding to the abduction.
The girls remain in captivity more than a year after.
The video ranking was released by Google on Thursday as YouTube
celebrates its 10th year anniversary.

non-music and advert categories.
