The History of Nigeria has always been deeply rooted in Religious and tribal warfare and quite frankly the change lies in our hands as the youth of this beloved country. The current insecurity that is going on in Nigeria today as a result of this Boko Haram nonsense to me is just a cry for help by the youths of the Northern parts of Nigeria. Since the 1960s, the South West and South East have continually progressed in terms of education and trade and thus the development can be seen in their respective regions but the northerners instead have turn their back on education and chose to send their kids to the military or just Islamic schools but have failed to get them educated so they can compete with their fellow Nigerian youths from the south. The focus on Islam needs to be reduced because quite frankly this is 2012 and Technology is the order of the day. These youths need to educate them selves and develop their regions instead of fighting everyone for no reason. The Sokoto caliphate and all the emirs up there are stuck in the past and the youths need to show them that they cannot move forward unless they they abide to Western customs like Lagos is currently doing.
Can someone tell me what these guys are fighting for? They say all Christians should leave the North and then the next minute they are fighting the Government. Sounds to me like these guys are just crying for help because they can't compete with the intellectuals and Technocrats down south. The governors up there are also to blame because they cater to Islam way too much when they should be educating the youth and make them innovators. Most of the kids are intelligent but their Islamic scholars won't let them harness their potential because they want to control them for their own gain.
