BHTs have always enjoyed tacit supports from its hundred of thousands of sympathizers in the North which is why any Imam that publicly criticize the group, for its atrocities, is automatically signing his death warrant. Even if BHTs don't necessarily have foot soldiers in that locale.

Take Kano and Kaduna for instance, dozens of Imams have been assassinated by the group's sympathizers. We shouldn't forget the Kano 2014 bombing that saw well over 200 souls lost just because Sanusi Lamido spoke against BHTs.

I can recall the premature explosion that occurred in a built-up area in Kaduna several years ago. The bomb maker, his toddler, wife and some family members died when karma struck them in their home(that doubles as IED making factory. The bomb maker was just a civilian who suddenly decided that he would be making bombs for BHTs. He did succeed in killing hundred of people.

There are homes you will see in the North with glaring anti-west graffitis written on their walls, typical of terrorist organizations. The North fostered and nurtured Boko Haram, especially the fundamentalist Muslim population in Kano, Kaduna, Sokoto and Borno. And the only reason they are screaming blue murder now is because BHTs focuses most of its attacks on Muslims population.

Walahi, if it had been Christian and other minority groups bearing the brunt of this psychoes alone, they wouldn't have given enough hoot.

Not a single sentence in this is wrong IMO. It’s like a simple rule of thumb, an insurgency (any type) cannot exist in an area without being embraced by the local people ! Why is the North West (sokoto and it’s surrounding environs) relatively safe today ? Because the elites came together and rejected this ideology from the start!

We don’t need to fool ourselves here

Terror attack in burkina faso,Ouagadougou capital

Multiple armed attacks are underway in Burkina Faso's capital of Ouagadougou, with one centered on the French embassy, according to a post on the embassy's Facebook page.

"The attack is ongoing at the French embassy and the French Institute," the post said, adding that people should remain "confined" to where they are. The French Institute, a cultural organization, is about a mile away from the embassy.
France's ambassador to Burkina Faso, Xavier Lapdecab, urged people via Twitter to act with "absolute precaution" as the attack is ongoing.
France's special envoy to Africa's Sahel region, Jean-Marc Châtaigner, referred to a "terrorist attack" in a post on Twitter, as he urged people to avoid the city center.
Burkina Faso's national police warned people to move away from areas around the "vicinity of the Prime Ministry -- and the United Nations roundabout."
"The specialized units of the defense and security forces are in action," the force said on its official Facebook page.

he US Embassy in Burkina Faso also warned US citizens to seek shelter amid reports of gunfire.
A tweet from the US Embassy read: "@Usembassyouaga has received reports of gunfire in downtown Ouagadougou. Avoid the area of downtown Ouagadougou. Seek secure shelter. Monitor local media for updates. Check back here for more updates from the embassy." read more https://edition.cnn.com/2018/03/02/africa/burkina-faso-ouagadougou-attack-intl/index.html

U guys have access to the records relating to no of foreign mullahs present in the north during the aforesaid period .

And the influence they exerted on forming the ideology known as BH before being booted out , but unfortunately it was done too late.

Don't look for things that is already visible, look for things that r hidden , only then u will get the real picture.

The fragility of our perception is we see things that we want to see or see things that form the presented narrative. This leads to cognitive trap and hence exploited for misinformation and cover up.


Don't quote the post. Will delete it.

Bros, I did my NYSC in the far north, Mubi in Adamawa state to be precise. I worked my posting there so I could experience things first hand.

Everyone around there either speak Arabic or their local dialect. The only person who speaks English is their Village head. And his English is like that of a Primary 1.
It was hell on earth for me initially.

But after one year of National Service there, I promised myself if it is possible to do NYSC again, I will do it right there 1000 times over.

My point is, pls lets be careful of over simplification

So as to be able to differentiate Stereotype from Fact

this is basically happening because of the wahabi teaching being exported by the saudi,i live in a neighborhood where Somalis refugees reside.even the rich somalis with business and relative abroad,dont educate their child"but not all of them"i have seen mushrooming of madrassa schools in my neighbourhood. the saudis are simply funding chaos

Psychologists called something "Classical Conditioning"
It explains how we form our opinions and believes based on what we are hearing since childhood.

That's why for an average Nigerian from the South, the image that comes to his mind when he hear about a Northerner is that of one rag-head, illiterate, aggressive Hausa speaking and uncivilized man that always have a dagger underneath his shirt.

I was like that too. Until I force my self outa my comfort zone to live among them... And that so far is the best decision of my life.

Lol... Like the Southerners care about whats happening up North.

Sir, if you see half of what I saw during my NYSC up North... You will know that Northerners especially the uneducated ones, are the best Human being in Nigeria.

Bros pls, be careful of Stereotype.

It seems that the light 4×4 APC Nimar proved more efficiency than Humvees in the ops & it's clear that it has been widely circulated with all combat units of #Egyptian army in #Sinai .

You guys are missing something important
Just like the creeks of Niger Delta, bandit areas of zamfara and hinterlands of NE, Poor governance, absences of Govt social facilities, lack of civil authority, degradation of environmental Resources .......

Early members of bokoharam(Taliban) were students learning in Asia,sudan n co
In Borno they got followership by showing the ppl are the negatives if democracy which was visible, it was almost like a popular movement, Youths from secondary- university n does who never entered one joint, after the 2009 offensive, they came back hard on locals their own ppl, what am still trying understand is if the early Taliban that fought in Kano n madara mid 2000s formed ansaru or joined BH

.

To the best of my understanding, that paragraph above by Xbee is an opinion or at best a believe form based on Stereotype.

Recently, the people of Switzerland rejected Muslims from raising Mosque minarets. They said as long as Muslims stay in Switzerland they cant do that and it was backed by Swiss laws and Courts.

Can we call this "is this typical of terrorist organizations" ?

The People of North Korea have a terrible relationship with the West. They show anti West writings, demonstrations and even Military parades... Is this typical of "terrorist organizations" ?

South Africa recently passed anti West law ie "Land Expropriation" is this typical of terrorist organizations?

Same thing goes with Russia... Who came out yesterday to inform the world that they now have a Missile that cannot be intercepted by Western Missile Defence Shields... Is this typical of terrorist organizations too ?

But then, the Muslims in the northern Nigeria who are protecting their religion and culture from Western ideologies... That is typical of terrorist organization.

You are repeating the same nonsense like a broken record. No one is talking about stereotypes here. I have definitely lived in the North than you have since you only went there for your NYSC. I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly. I have made enough quality friends in the North. But that will not blind me to the various anomalies up there.
They marry more than they can afford. Birth litters of children they can't cater for and leave them on the street to become beggars. And most have an unhealthy attitude towards Western education.

Have you ever had an encounter with an almajiri child? Have you seen the filthy abode they call home? Have you seen hitherto superficial wound on their body metastasis just because they lack medical attention? Have you seen them lying on the street barely alive?

I have seen them. Paid them to wash my cloth and do my dishes. And yeah, some of them do have daggers hidden in their pants. I have seen one use a dagger, he retrieved from his loin area, to cut an orange. I was petrified, like who uses a dagger to cut orange?

You may wonder, "are there no educated elite in the North to stop this ticking time bomb?"
Well, there are many of em. Just that they prefer the status quo because it benefit them.

As a Yoruba man now I should "protect" my culture (of tribal marks) from Western ideologies by burning schools(as an agent of the "west",oh the churches! Burn them too(damn agents)
Little research on boko would tell you they started as " alternative to status quo(injustice perpetuated by corrupt elites), later "it is the ideologies of the west that turned our elites and impoverished alike that should be dealt with", what next ancestral lands?

Why are you being a joker sir...

So you mean you have to burn down Churches and Schools before you protect your Yoruba lineage ?

Northerners who's protecting their Religion and Culture by reasonable writings are far different from those misguarded Terrorists who blow up places.

You can protect your heritages without resulting to violence.
