The Nigerian government is currently negotiating the release of 83 more girls, but many do not want to return home to Chibok, a small and conservative Christian area in mainly Muslim northern Nigeria. 
 
The girls that refuse to leave are said to be too ashamed to return home because they were forced to marry the terrorists and have their babies. 
 
One father of a freed girl, Emos Lawal, said his daughter was "praying that they let the rest of them have the chance to come out."

It is reported that some of the girls may be suffering from Stockholm syndrome, where they identify with and feel affection for their captors. 
 
Pogu Bitrus, the leader and spokesman for the released girls, said they were separated into two groups during their captivity where they were given the choice of joining the extremists, embracing Islam, or becoming slaves. 
 
The girls who were freed are said to be the group that rejected Islam and Boko Haram. The released girls also said they never saw the girls who chose to marry their captors again. 
 
Bitrus says that the released girls should be educated abroad due to the stigmas they will face in Nigeria. 
 
At least 20 of the girls are being educated in the United States.
