How foolish will i be to strap a bomb to myself and go blow up my igbo brothers ??

Why should some people from a tribe i wouldn't mention, who have produced like 5 Nigerian President and are still poverty stricken restort to bombing their own people ??

The igbos ran away long time ago

You must be so dumb if you don't know that 100% of the people they bomb are their own people

They should at least take the bombing to Lagos, Onitsha, Aba, Cross River, Rivers state to show me that they ain't the dumbest people on earth

OK
Why are you feeding the Public with LIES? The same lies that APC and their Apologists fed the Populace with in 2014/2015 electioneering to vote them (APC) into Power. Now they are in Power and it is obviously cleared that APC is a party of LIARS, DECEIVERS and PROPAGANDISTS. Those pcitures and info you posted were pre-election LIES used to deceived people but till today BOKO HARAM members are still BOMBING, KILLING and MAIMING innocents souls (though 'technically defeated' according to your Min. of LIES nay Info). Or will you say GEJ is the one still funding BOKOHARAM even after leaviing Office? Will it be right to say BUHARI is the one funding the BOKO HARAM now? Despite being the Grand Patron of Miyetti Allah Cattle Rearers, BUHARI is yet to accused by anyone of sponsoring Killer- FULANI HERDSMEN (though he had turned a blind eye to their nefarious activities). STOP this your evil propaganda and info. Even if you are being paid to do it, can't you 'use your tongue to count your teeth'?

The Rise, Fall, and Rise Again of Boko Haram

[img]http://hir.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/BH-Car-Bombing.jpg[/img]

A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF BOKO HARAM

The West African state of Nigeria, currently considered Africa’s largest economy, has, in the north-east of the country, been under sustained attack by an armed, radical Islamist movement, until recently known as Boko Haram. “Boko Haram” is the popular name for the “Sunni Community for the Propagation of the Prophet’s Teaching and Jihad.” The birth and growth of Boko Haram was—and has been—shaped by a combination of covert foreign interference, poor governance, corruption, infrastructure neglect, extreme poverty, and the rapid rise of a fundamentalist Wahhabi theological system that opposes the generally tolerant Islam practiced by the traditional northern Nigerian establishment.

However, Boko Haram has exploited the loss of hope to influence and bolster its forces. It shows no interest in actually governing, developing the economy or improving the standard of living of those living under its ‘rule.’ Instead, having pledged its allegiance to the Middle Eastern terror group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL), it recently rebranded itself as the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP). It has made—and continues to make—extensive use of ISIL’s social media assets and remains known as “Boko Haram” to most West Africans.

Claiming that it is fighting to abolish western culture and impose its own brand of Sharia law on its ‘subjects,’ it has overtaken ISIL as the world’s bloodiest and most vicious terrorist movement, spreading its campaign across regional borders. It is currently being hunted by a five-country coalition consisting of Nigeria, Benin, Cameroon, Chad, and Niger, and supposedly supported by the United States, the United Kingdom, and France. However, this has not deterred Boko Haram from carrying out its actions of indiscriminate suicide bombings, mass kidnappings, and massacres against the local populace in north-eastern Nigeria and its neighbors.

By late-2014 the government of President Goodluck Jonathan was facing a crisis as the largely foreign-trained Nigerian army units that faced Boko Haram had consistently failed to halt the terror movement’s offensives and had developed a reputation for fleeing the battlefield while abandoning their equipment. The impact on the morale of both the nation and the armed forces as well as the sustained terror and murder facing the local population in north-eastern Nigeria forced the government to take drastic action. It was the failure of the army—along with the US’ refusal to sell much needed military equipment to Nigeria—that ultimately resulted in President Goodluck Jonathan telling the US military trainers to leave Nigeria.

FUELING AND EXPLOITING BOKO HARAM

The Balkanization of Africa has long been a strategic aim of several foreign powers. As Zbigniew Brzezinski, a US foreign policy theoretician and top adviser to US President Barack Obama stated, a divided and warring Nigeria ultimately serves the interests of the United States. These interests are primarily focused on “protecting access to hydrocarbons and other strategic resources which Africa has in abundance, a task which includes ensuring against the vulnerability of those natural riches and ensuring that no other interested third parties, such as China, India, Japan, or Russia, obtain monopolies or preferential treatment.” (Nile Bowie, CIA Covert Ops in Nigeria: Fertile Ground for US Sponsored Balkanization Global Research, 11 April 2012)

It can be argued that the focused drive to Balkanize oil-rich African states commenced with the Western-engineered and led collapse of Libya under the guise of bringing about ‘democracy’ and ‘freedom.’ Chaos instead of democracy arrived and it gave Boko Haram a substantial boost as the floodgates opened on the large Libyan military arms depots, many of which—using traditional trade routes—found their way to Nigeria’s Boko Haram. Nigerian Islamists fighting to effect regime change in Libya, and who had been supportive of the Western intervention in Libya, also began returning home to Nigeria, armed with experience in terror actions. If anything, Libya served as an encouragement to returning Boko Haram terrorists who viewed themselves as ‘victorious’ in their quest to topple Libya’s leader, Colonel Muammar Qaddafi.

Despite the atrocities committed by Boko Haram, it was reported that “covert financial support as well as military training has been channeled to Boko Haram by two of America’s staunchest allies: Saudi Arabia and the UK.” It was only on 13 November 2013 that the United States reluctantly declared Boko Haram a terrorist organization. Furthermore, Boko Haram has close ties to two Al-Qaeda affiliated organizations, namely Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) and the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG). Both of these organizations were covertly supported by Western intelligence organizations and NATO forces during the war to effect regime-change in Libya.

More recently, Boko Haram has reached out to the Islamist group in Central African Republic known as Seleka as well as to Al-Shabaab in Somalia and the Islamist Allied Defence Force in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Whereas the initial intention of the United States and its allies in supporting Boko Haram may have been to destabilize Nigeria, trigger sectarian divisions and violence, and then rush in to ‘save’ Nigeria under the banner of military assistance and humanitarian aid, reality has dictated otherwise.

Boko Haram has continued to spread its tentacles of terror and has engulfed an entire region in conflict, and killed, maimed, kidnapped, and displaced thousands of people. It has additionally worked at spreading its influence and expanding its arc of instability across an entire region.
CONTRACTING A PMC

In mid-April 2014, Boko Haram staged a mass school kidnapping in the town of Chibok in Borno State. Although some of the school girls managed to escape, a total of 219 girls—eventually referred to as the ‘Chibok girls’—were taken hostage. This resulted in an international outcry and numerous ‘save the girls’ campaigns, but little concrete action was taken other than empty rhetoric.

Despite United States and United Kingdom intelligence services knowing where the missing girls were being kept, this intelligence was not shared with the Nigerians, as the West did not trust the Nigerian troops it had trained to conduct a rescue operation. All attempts by the Nigerian army to locate and rescue the girls failed—despite US training and support—and Boko Haram grew in reputation and confidence.

Everyone must rule, the tale of the black man when among themselves. Ooo we Igbos must rule or we want Biafra; Ooo we Yourobas done tire we want Odudowa. Next, people start to draw ridiculous maps porporting to be of thire proposed new nation. The funny thing is that I look at these maps and my tribe in Delta state is in one instance added to part of Odudowa (or whatever)in another instance part of Biafra then another time part of Greater Delta Republic. And all the while these things are drawn by individuals representing folks that are on a great sulk because they feel that thire tribesmen have been denied position of helmsman of Nigeria, never mind that states can fulfil any tribal nationalism. But the point is that not ones do all these great sulkers consider that if we folks of the smaller tribes (that never hope to touch national power) adopt the same position as them, the question mark that now hangs over Nigeria will also hang over thire Biafra, Odudowa,Delta Republic and so on. They forget that we minor tribes people too are black men capable of doing as black men do, which is refuse to set aside personal gains for the greater good of all.
