Okay..so im tired of ignoring the drama in this country. This one left a bitter sweet taste on my tongue...terrorism in Nigeria is a laughable probability but then again...isnt this a country where u must never say 'never'? anything can happen. this is just one of those confirmations. So what do u guys think????
Boko Haram ressurects, declares total Jihad
Headlines Aug 14, 2009
The Islamic sect Boko Haram has declared total Jihad in Nigeria, threatening to Islamise the entire nation by force of war.
In a statement dated August 9, 2009 and made available to Vanguard, the sect whose activities led to the lost of hundreds of lives in northern Nigeria recently declared that their leader Yusuf who was killed in controversial circumstances during the crisis, lives forever.
In what looked like a declaration of war on the rest of the nation, the Boko Haram sect said it will unleash terror in Southern Nigeria this August, beginning with the bombing of Lagos, Ibadan, Enugu to make good its words.Vanguard reproduces the statement below as issued by Boko Haram.WE SPEAK AS BOKO HARAMFor the first time since the Killing of Mallam Mohammed Yusuf, our leader, we hereby make the following statements.
1) First of all that Boko Haram does not in any way mean ‘Western Education is A sin’ as the infidel media continue to portray us. Boko Haram actually means ‘Western Civilisation’ is forbidden. The difference is that while the first gives the impression that we are opposed to formal education coming from the West, that is Europe, which is not true, the second affirms our believe in the supremacy of Islamic culture (not Education), for culture is broader, it includes education but not determined by Western Education.
