This is quite easy. Since they won't be able to achieve their objective through violence, they should join southerners in calling for a plebiscite. This way, the part of Nigeria that wants to become an Islamic republic can do so without any unnecessary war.

i have seen attention whores

but Boko Haram are masters of attention bitching

+1. But they want the entire country Islamisized, probably. Having Sharia in their own states I guess is not enough for them.

On a related note, if naija splits, we'll have a bit of a problem on our hands. All those Christian groups in Northern Nigeria will have to be evacuated wholesale, no? I don't like the odds of them surviving in what will probably become a fundamentalist Islamic state.

Maybe some sort of population swapping will be necessary.

Like we care what they want.

We just need to buy nuff otapiapia to fumigate the fvckers.

They come from Niger, so we might need to show that godforsaken strip of desert a thing or two about military might. We need to capture a few dozen of their villages (rocks, goats and all) until the swear to keep their useless indegenes from crossing the border to pollute Nigeria.

dem dey craze abi dem never hear of freedom of worship before?

Gbam. First positive thought that came from Aigbofa. You see how one can improve if he/she lets go of tribalism. 5 stars.

Agreed, that is one brilliant mind that is dulled by ethnic bigotry; most of NL's bigots are dunces he shouldn't be rolling with. Its a shame really.
