Over the past couple of years ,there has been evident terrible results of the insurgence of (Arabic: جماعة اهل السنة للدعوة والجهاد‎ Jamāʻat Ahl as-Sunnah lid-daʻwa wal-Jihād) — better known by its Hausa name Boko Haram in Nigeria since it became a recognized sect since 2009.It is estimated that there has been at least 10,000 deaths between 2001 and 2013 and roughly 3,600 killed, including 1,600 civilians between 2009 and 2013.This number is alarming ,however the number of those that have been displaced by the destruction of their houses, buildings, work places and religious centres is mind blowing.

Boko Haram was founded as an indigenous group, turning itself into a Jihad group in 2009. It proposes that interaction with the Western world is forbidden, and also supports opposition to the Muslim establishment and the government of Nigeria.

The members of the group do not interact with the local Muslim population and have carried out assassinations in the past of anyone who criticizes it, including Muslim clerics.

In a 2009 BBC interview, Mohammed Yusuf, then leader of the group, stated his belief that the concept of a spherical Earth is contrary to Islamic teaching and should be rejected, along with Darwinian evolution and the concept of rain originating from water evaporated by the sun. Before his death, Yusuf reiterated the group's objective of changing the current education system and rejecting democracy. Nigerian academic Hussain Zakaria told BBCNews that the controversial cleric had a graduate education, spoke proficient English, lived a lavish lifestyle and drove a Mercedes Benz. Summarily, the main tenets Of Boko Haram are -rejecting democracy, Islamizing Nigeria and also rejecting the western education.
