Speaking to Vanguard, Adokiye Kyrian, who goes by the stage name ADOKIYE and fronts the charitable foundation #ADOCHANGE, spoke of her wishes to ''offer herself'' if it saw the safe return of the children who were taken by the Islamist group from the Nigerian village of Chibok more than two months ago.
''This is 11pm in the night and do you know what I am thinking about? Those little girls, where they are and what could be happening to them,'' she said. ''It is just unfair. They are too young. I wish I could offer myself in exchange.
''They are between 12 and 15 years old, for Christ sake. I am older and more experience. Even if 10 to 12 men have to take me every night, I don't care. Just release these girls and let them go back to their parents.''
The singer and state peace ambassador for youth group Imo has previously suggested she would be willing to offer up her virginity for a price – a private jet for her mother.
''At 23, looking hot and rather willing with her liberated personality, her fans found it hard to believe, but Adokiye said it is true and that whoever wants her virginity should be prepared to buy her mother the private jet she long promised her,'' Vanguard reported.
The singer's suggestion follows unconfirmed reports that another 60 girls and 30 boys were taken from their families on Tuesday.
Many on social media have praised Adokiye for her offer, while others have expressed dismay the up and coming star is using the tragedy as a publicity stunt.

This latest campaign to call for the release of the young victims follows a social media campaign established by US First Lady Michelle Obama who tweeted a photo with the hashtag "#BringBackOurGirls" last month, which has since gone viral.
