Two years ago when Abubakar Shekau, the self-proclaimed leader of Boko Haram appeared in his first Youtube video, he said that the mission of Boko Haram was to take over Nigeria and establish an Islamic Caliphate that would be governed by the tenets of Sharia law. A lot of people laughed, including myself. Why won't we? How can an ill-trained army threaten one of the most powerful black nations on earth? Little did we know that Boko Haram rightly perceived incompetence of the president and the rot in the Nigerian military, and used its perception as a yardstick to predict an eventual success. Today Boko Haram have succeeded in controlling 26 local governments out of the 724 local governments in Nigeria. This is a staggaring 3.5% of Nigerian ruling units! Boko Haram now controls a region that contains a population of about 1.5million people. Out of the 174 countries in the United Nations, at least 24 of them have populations 1.5million and less. What is even striking is that Boko Haram has not only captured territories but, renamed cities!

Just yesterday, Mubi the second largest city in Adamawa state with a population of about 350,000 people was captured by the Haramites and renamed Madinatul Islam. What the world have failed to state is that Boko Haram has made Nigeria nonexistent, because essentially they have created another country. Nigeria cannot exist as Nigeria if part of its territory have been taken, it cannot exist, if the government no longer has control of 1.5 million of its population. It does not exist if the laws being enforced in territories are dictated by people unknown to either the government of Nigeria or the populace in which they effect those laws. It does not exist when we have a foreign army that have driven the Nigerian army and effectively occupies soverifgn territory. It does not exist when there is no Nigerian flag flying in those territories, rather a foreign flag flies there. It does not exist when the Nigerian police, the local government chairman, emirs, and village chiefs are no where to be found. What has essentially happened is that Boko Haram has carved out a country from Nigeria, and the original Nigeria no longer exists as we know it. Even the chief of Defence staff will need permission from Boko Haram to go to his village, which is now under the control of Boko Haram.

Will it remain like this? Certainly not! If we have a president keeps acting a fool to the reality that Nigeria is being taken, then we will certainly have a larger Boko Haram Caliphate in a matter of months. I recall that when the Igbos where persecuted, they attempted to have their own country - Biafra, righfully so after being battared in the country the called their own. The Igbos built tanks, had a large army, were supported by both the United States and Israel, yet the Nigerian Army headed by Yakubu Gowon crushed the rebellion. How Boko Haram has succeeded in making our Army look like frail men is what many do not still understand.

Irrespective of who wins the elections in 2015, Nigeria will be screwed (I will write on why later). However, suffice it to say, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan would not have a Nigeria to rule beyond 2015 if things continue at this rate. PDP and APC should keep playing politics while we loose our country to the Haramites. It is the turn of Mubi, Vintim, Uba and Ashaka today, but tomorrow it may just be you!

Dividing the country is the only solution.

Please don't use my beloved BIAFRA as an example. If not because of saboteurs like you we would have achieved it. But soon we will achieve it again.

The blame game played by our government instead of taking action, benefited d BOKOHARAM more than any.Because division created among Nigerians stops any United action against bokoharam.

ANSWER: Perhaps Nigeria never had a strong Army in the first place. If Biafran Army that was constituted less than 3 months before the explosion of hostilities, and poorly equipped too, could kill more Nigerian soldiers in battle at a ratio of nearly 2:1 even in the face of impossible odds then maybe it's time for Nigeria to stop over-estimating the strength and fighting spirit of NA. Nigerian Army is no different than Nigerian nation - broken, yet irretrievably immersed in self denial and grand delusion of 'One Nation.'



My take on the rest of your article(Note: the article in question is not posted here)

Shekau is not Nigeria's problem, he's only a manifestation of it. I agree we need to eliminate him but at the same time eliminating him will not solve the root-cause of the emergence of men like Shekau or maitasine. Have Nigerians sat down to analyse why a supposedly rich kid like Abdumutalab, the underwear bomber, engaged in such suicidal act? Have we asked ourselves why Nigeria seems to be producing more violent characters than any other African country in this sub-region? There's a root-cause and there ought to be a solution that seeks out the problem starting from the root node. Nigeria's consistent failure to address that has been and will continue to be the reason we lurch from one unknown pillar to another.

When Ebola came everyone knew it was out for all irrespective of one's side of the divide. It was a threat and Nigeria solved it. Maybe the analogy is trivial, but I believe you get it. Contrast that with Nigeria's daily unresolved issues.....We even see each other as threats - Now tell me, under this perpetual mutual suspicion and threat is it possible to comprehensively resolve Nigeria's issues? The answer is a big NO. It does not matter who wins the presidency, Nigeria is doomed as long as it shies away from resolving protracted question on ethnicity and nationhood.

Who are we? where are we going? and do we go as a unit or as units? These and more unresolved issues have kept Nigeria weak and comatose. And as long as they're unresolved, Shekau and many more like him will continue to grace Nigeria's historical/political landscape.

Shekau is not asking what his fathers and leaders never asked for. He wants sharia - his fathers not only wanted it they forced it down the throat of non-muslim northerners. Nigeria did nothing when that atrocious Sharia implementation that negated our constitution was committed - and Shekau was watching. Is it the litany of murders and wholesale massacre and burning of peoples and churches that have gone un-investigated for too long? Shekau has more than enough violent playbook to draw inspiration and knowledge from, and the worst part is that Nigeria never enforced its laws when those playbooks were written. Today Shekau is the caliph of Mubi so I suggest we all stop worrying and enjoy the ride.

To my own understanding. Cramjones is a kid and ALL hausa are animals. Cramjones do you know what is happening in syria, iraq now. Do you see how this moslem just condemn their life in fighting for what will never exist. Shekau renames a town but do not live in the town. At least he should be seen moving around like a king in the territory he is renaming in his dreams and not shooting movies inside the bush

I thought Jonathan was mentioned in the article as the president of Nigeria and not Buhari? Go and get your glasses and reread it again.
And remember what the writer said, when push comes to shove, neither Jonathan nor Buhari will be there for you.

Nigeria exists and will always do... A part of my hand is severed or amputated doesn't mean I've ceased to be a human, just that I'm not whole anymore. It's a matter of time before the annexed territory is recaptured by the NA.
