We all think Boko Haram is a terrorist group but that's only one way to look at it. One man's meat is another man's poison or better still let me say, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. I have no reason to support Boko Haram but let's analyze, shall we?
Boko Haram means Western education is a taboo if I'm correct, but I don't see them bombing the ministry of education, I mean, if you strongly believe western education is a taboo, why not attack those in charge of the educational policies of the country, just saying though. How would you expect me to be convinced that western education is a taboo if you still use the Internet, telephones, bombs, and guns? Aren't you supposed to be fighting with sticks and stones? Or don't you know all these things are the products of western education?
As if that isn't bad enough, kidnapping innocent children, turning some of them into suicide bombers, some also into sex slaves, and they still don't wanna release these kids, are they not done proving their point?? What exactly is the point they're trying to prove, I guess we're still trying to figure it out.
We've been made to believe that Boko Haram has the support of some politicians,so? Most terrorist groups have that. In fact, their operations can't be successful without some sort of strong back up. Some say their intentions their intentions are politically motivated while some say it's religiously motivated but I don't know what to think. A terrorist group is supposed to come out to the public or government and make their demands known so what do they want?
If Boko Haram is a freedom fighting group, what are they trying to be liberated from? We thought they wanted an end to GEJ's regime and now it's over, can we have the girls back already or what again?
They want schools to be eradicated or is it that they want only Arabic to be taught in school, I doubt it because when last I checked, not all Boko Haram members are Muslims and Hausas, there are Igbos and Yorubas amongst them and this just proves that it's not tribal. You want freedom? From what exactly? The West? If you don't want western education, why not exempt you and your generations from it instead of killing innocent people?
I hope Boko Haram has the audacity to tell us as soon as possible what it is they really want and let's settle this on a round table not on the battlefield, maybe when that time comes, we can truly know if they're terrorists or freedom fighters.
I don't know exactly when Boko Haram started their operations because frankly I'm not a big fan of them and their operations. I hate violence but then I believe that if it should be used as a means to achieving anything at all, it should be the last resort.
What I know about terrorists is that they want their voices to be heard and how can it be heard? It's through the public stunts they pull which include bombing of random places, kidnapping random children and all sorts. They're more direct sometimes in their approach by for instance, kidnapping one of the relatives of a prominent individual in the society say a politician just to make sure whoever they're directing it at knows what's at stake if their demands are not met.

The fact that they are fighting against western education is the beginning of their stupidity. Who does that? Who fight against nature or his own development.
Its because they lack education that's why they can be bent or used.
