I found this in the NY Times today. We really need to get ahead of this, and not leave it to the incompetence called the Federal Government in Nigeria today. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/26/world/africa/in-northern-nigeria-boko-haram-stirs-fear-and-sympathy.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1 |

Let these Northerners have their Sharia state like Afghanistan while the more progressive South can advance and become a world power. |

Every citizen appears aware of the glaring contrast between his or her own life and those of the elite. Hopefully our greedy, ruling elites will become aware before it's too late, before they become Lunch. . . Having said that, even the North cannot afford this accommodation they are giving to Boko Haram murderers, this can only lead to more pain and destruction for all. . |

“They’ve built cells in Kano,” said Paul Lubeck, a northern Nigeria expert at the University of California, Santa Cruz. “They have much deeper networks in Kano than anybody ever assumed. My position is, this is a remarkably successful insurrection, more than anybody ever could have thought.” “God has already positioned us to follow his rule,” said one of the men, 25. “At any time, we can gain victory. Because God will give it to us.” This is absolutely dangerous, I see nothing good coming out of this deep and illogical mixture of blind ideological religious faith and politics. Unfortunately the people managing Nigeria don't seem like they know how to fix this. Amnesty will not work, throwing money at them will not work like it did temporarily in the Niger Delta. We will have to have a serious conversation about restructuring this country along more egalitarian lines to fix this. Maybe ultimately allow them to find their own path in a new nation or be here on totally new terms. |

Nigeria's current leadership is either too ignorant or too chicken to take necessary action to put down this looming disaster once and for all. Nero fiddles while Rome Burns Kilode?!: |

@@@ “[size=28pt]People are supporting them[/size] because the government is cheating them,” said Mohammed Ghali, the imam at the mosque where the two Boko Haram members pray. Imam Ghali is known as an intermediary between the militants and the authorities, and while open backing for the group can put almost anyone in the cross hairs of the Nigerian security services, there appears to be no shortage of Boko Haram supporters here. once again the question keep swing up so alj boko harem tell us the truth plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz mu de fuckers arewa haka rep wouldnt work with so much dinasuars looming all over the place oya osadebe give me num 7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaAiHrCfUGI |

Interesting article. Nigeria faces a lot of challenges, and I don't think it is very likely to survive all of them. |

"But the fate of Alhaji Muhammadu suggests otherwise. He was fatally shot on Feb. 9 as he walked along a sandy alley to his cinder-block home. His son said that his father had alerted the police to a bosom-trapped car in the neighborhood, several days before the shooting." As a connoisseur of jugs, bosoms, Bristols and hooters, I am intrigued by this concept of a "Bosom-Trapped" car. Can someone please enlighten me as to how this idea of a Bosom-Trapped car is put into practice ? |

^ Its just the over zealous Nairaland spambot at work. I think the word there was b[i]oob[/i]y trapped. Or something like that. @ topic I don't think the Nigerian government fully appreciates the nature and threat that BH represents. There appears to be a hurry to categorize this problem as a political one. The ideological and religious undertones that drive BH members will also not be totally eliminated by a military solution, see how the USA is faring with Al-Qeada. Many northerners appear to sympathize with the terrorist movement on some level and till this fact is addressed holistically this problem will be with us for a long time. |

Is kano so underpoliced? There should be thousands of informants on the payroll to alert the necessary agencies. How can two boko haramists chill and give an interview in broad daylight? |
