Fela Kuti was hunted by Nigeria's Military for being an African first and condemning foolishness, Massob gets arrested just for peaceful protests.
If Boko Haram were not a Northern masterminded phenomenon, would the Nigerian Government handle them differently?

Bokoharam can never be anywhere other than Northern Nigerian oriented. The language is not Tivs, not Idomas, not Igbo and not any other language than Hausa/Fulani. The meaning is worse than militant. It is rebellious, ear-aching, distructive, uncivilised, illiterate, attacking etc etc. Its mere mention is more nauseating than Hitler. Their mothers, fathers, families and children should be wiped out from the earth 'cos they are satanic.

Yes, but if they were to come from another part of the Country, how would they have been handled? Hell, the Civil War is not even important enough to be taught in Class Rooms.
