When Boko Haram first formed, their actions were nonviolent. Their main goal was to “purify Islam in northern Nigeria” (Iyekekpolo 2016:2218). From March 2015 to August 2016, the group was aligned with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.[20][21] Since the current insurgency started in 2009, Boko Haram has killed tens of thousands and displaced 2.3 million from their homes[22] and was ranked as the world's deadliest terror group by the Global Terrorism Index in 2015 spigelm19 https://padlet.com/volka19/3vptmjjypbia/wish/291256697 2018-10-10 14:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/volka19/3vptmjjypbia/wish/291256697 Visas are issued the most to young students who are applying to colleges. volka19 https://padlet.com/volka19/3vptmjjypbia/wish/291256750 2018-10-10 14:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/volka19/3vptmjjypbia/wish/291256750 they are no longer allowing people in, in cases of needed asylum. more people are turned away. volka19 https://padlet.com/volka19/3vptmjjypbia/wish/291257429 2018-10-10 14:13:35 UTC https://padlet.com/volka19/3vptmjjypbia/wish/291257429 In the local Hausa dialect, Boko Haram means "Western education is forbidden." spigelm19 https://padlet.com/volka19/3vptmjjypbia/wish/291259087 2018-10-10 14:15:48 UTC https://padlet.com/volka19/3vptmjjypbia/wish/291259087 Boko Haram militants mainly inhabit areas in the northern states of Nigeria, specifically Yobe, Kano, Bauchi, Borno and Kaduna. spigelm19 https://padlet.com/volka19/3vptmjjypbia/wish/291261789 2018-10-10 14:19:19 UTC https://padlet.com/volka19/3vptmjjypbia/wish/291261789 Boko Haram does not engage in Nigeria's political system out of an adherence to a fundamentalist form of Islam, which forbids participation unless the system is based on Sharia, or Islamic law. spigelm19 https://padlet.com/volka19/3vptmjjypbia/wish/291262113 2018-10-10 14:19:43 UTC https://padlet.com/volka19/3vptmjjypbia/wish/291262113 Thousands of people have died over the past few years in communal attacks led by the Islamic State-aligned Boko Haram.Separatist aspirations have also been growing and the imposition of Islamic law in several northern states has embedded divisions and caused thousands of Christians to flee.Nigeria's insecurity has added to its economic woes, hindering foreign investment. The former British colony is one of the world's largest oil producers, but few Nigerians, including those in oil-producing areas, have benefited. spigelm19 https://padlet.com/volka19/3vptmjjypbia/wish/291264537 2018-10-10 14:22:51 UTC https://padlet.com/volka19/3vptmjjypbia/wish/291264537 Nigeria has made progress since its return to democracy in 1999. But a political system crippled by corruption and dogged by ethnic tensions threatens to derail the country from its path toward good governance. spigelm19 https://padlet.com/volka19/3vptmjjypbia/wish/291267408 2018-10-10 14:26:18 UTC https://padlet.com/volka19/3vptmjjypbia/wish/291267408 Like the United States, Brazil, and India, Nigeria is structured as a federation, a structure it inherited from its British colonial rulers. It has thirty-six states, one federal territory, and 774 municipalities (plus Abuja). Yet power resides in the central government, which controls most of the country’s revenues and resources. A 2005 constitutional review attempted to address the controversy over revenue sharing and the tenure of the president and state governors, but ended without progress after the introduction of an amendment that was widely seen as a political move to extend Obasanjo’s time in office by two years. spigelm19 https://padlet.com/volka19/3vptmjjypbia/wish/291269320 2018-10-10 14:28:28 UTC https://padlet.com/volka19/3vptmjjypbia/wish/291269320 Nigeria ranks has Africa's largest producer of oil and the sixth largest oil producing country in the world.
