[size=18pt]Birth of A monster[/size]

Mohamed Yusuf is widely accepted to be the original leader of the proscribed militant Islamic group commonly referred to as Boko Haram.

What most of you are not aware of is the original composition of Yusuf's inner circle which were drawn not from the vast population of poor ignorant masses in the north but from very educated young men of privileged background.

What most of you also are not aware of is that the radicalization of these young men did not begin with Yusuf or in some rundown Madrasah that dots northern Nigeria but in lecture halls in universities across northern Nigeria. They came to Yusuf because they could identify with his own very radical message.

The group gots it's nick name Boko Haram for its opposition of western styled education and mainly because the group was composed of young privileged and highly educated young men who turned their back on the world preferring a return to classical medieval Islamic society. Public destruction of certificates was done to woo more young men into their fold.

The group unsurprisingly continued to enjoy wide spread support among young northerners because of the energetic, vibrant and new perspective they offered. Within a short time, the group started to draw negative critism fom the old established clerics who not only frowned about their radical views but saw their own popularity wane in the midst of younger Muslims who preferred what Yusuf had to offer.

This critism will lead to both false and truthful allegations by the clerics to the authorities on the extent of the radicalization Yusuf was offering the youth. The security apparatus then swung in to investigate the activities of Yusuf and his group and severally he was "invited" to the police station to clarify issues. This only made Yusuf more popular among the youth and gave him an air of fighting the established order. The north was witnessing its first ever revolutionary character.

Yusuf sensing the new twist to his personality and movement will capitalize on his new found fame and status by pumping up the rhetoric even further. This is when the crooked politicians got to notice this young charismatic man. His popularity they (politicians) thought, could be used to their advantage and before long Yusuf added another feather to his influence and ego. With Politicians patronizing Yusuf and soliciting for his support base, things were bound to get to his head.

Here was this young man of humble background and limited education surrounded by children of the elite and the poor masses at his beck and call now getting visits from prominent local, state, regional and national political figures.

Before long the politicians began to use Yusuf's supporters to carry out violent attacks on their opponents for a fee paid to Yusuf off course.
This only made Yusuf more notorious with the security agents. But anytime he or any of his members were picked up both their highly placed political associates and the influential relatives of his Lieutenants swung into action to spring him out of custody.

Before long Yusuf built an air of impunity for himself and his members since they were always let go Scott free after any of their violent skirmishes within Borno. It didn't take long for concerned individuals to petition the DSS about Yusuf and before long he was picked up during the second tenure of Obasanjo and was held for a long period by the DSS. This was the time Yusuf met Asari in detention.

But eventually, Yusuf was released back into society and his aura had taken up legendary status.
This is a man that even the federal government could not convict.
From here on, grand delusions of grandeur began to set in and Yusuf thought he had everything at is disposal to take out the Nigerian state.

We thus, cannot exclude the influences of Yusuf's inner circle and their connections to the corridor of power in our polity in incubating the monster boko haram.

This goes to show that the Boko Haram insurgency has its roots in the northern oligarchy.

Abdulmutalab is a good example of how a young privileged and educated northern youth can become radicalized.

This is were the maitassine movement differs completely with that of Boko Haram.

The maitassine movement was drawn from the poor dredges of northern Nigeria. The maitassine movement was effectively dealt with because the northern oligarchy saw it as a revolutionary movement ( which it was) challenging their authority and dominance and as such this was why the group was completely isolated and summarily destroyed.

The case with Boko Haram is different as the group is intertwined with the northern oligarchy.

Mayweather' and Pacquiao
Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather will put boxing back on the cultural map for at least one glittering night on Saturday, AFP reports.
Other bouts have been called “Fight of the Century” but in a sport that once made regular front-page news it has been years since one so captured the imagination of people who are not boxing fans.
“This is the biggest fight in boxing history,” Mayweather declared this week in a spurt of hyperbole befitting the occasion.
The welterweight clash at MGM Grand in Las Vegas is a hot topic on social media.
The massive interest has been fuelled by the big financial figures surrounding the fight: revenue perhaps reaching $400m and pay-per-view purchases surging towards three million; gate receipts of $70m; all adding up to what could be $200m for Mayweather and over $100m for Pacquiao.
Mayweather, 38, puts his WBC and WBA titles on the line and Pacquiao, 36, defends his WBO belt. The fight should be an intriguing clash of styles between men of contrasting personalities.
Pacquiao, a southpaw who has held “world” titles in eight weight divisions, is an aggressive southpaw, famous for fighting toe-to-toe and one of the hardest punchers in the division.
If any fighter can neutralise his attack it is the elusive Mayweather, a consummate craftsman with vast ring know-how and the patience to use it.
Mayweather has beaten eight southpaws, including Zab Judah. He has proved his ability to make mid-fight adjustments.
The American is known for a defensive style that critics say could be boring, but Pacquiao and his trainer, Freddie Roach, expect him to try to make the most of his size advantage by engaging early in search of a knockout.
Leonard Ellerbe, head of Mayweather Promotions, says, “Floyd is going to try to take Manny Pacquiao’s head off. You can count on that. Mayweather is looking to finish him off.”
But Mayweather has scored just one knockout since 2007. That was in 2001 when he put down Victor Ortiz in a controversial quick start.
Sugar Ray Leonard, an Olympic gold medallist and five-division professional world champion, says the fight is all about legacies. “It’s about history; a fight to make your palms sweat.”
Meanwhile, Mayweather says he is going to come out swinging and be the aggressor early against Pacquiao.
“I am going to approach it in a very, very aggressive way and go out there and press the attack early,” Mayweather said on the NBA on TNT.
“Of course I would love to win by knockout. I am pretty sure he is going to come at me extremely strong.
“I am facing one of the best fighters I have ever faced.”
Las Vegas authorities could take the rare step of barring traffic from the gambling hub’s famous Strip as they brace the massive crowds expected to descend on Sin City for the fight.
The bout at is sold out and hotels are overflowing with guests as between 150,000 to 200,000 people are expected to pour into the desert city for the showdown being billed as the “Fight of the Century”.
“We have handled events like this before where we had to shut down the Strip,” Erik Newman, Deputy Fire Chief of Clark County Fire Department told AFP. “What we are preparing for is the NBA all-star game in 2007.”
