Nigeria's Boko Haram pledges allegiance to Islamic State

15. If by fucked up

You mean corruption and poverty then yes, but what we have now in Boko Haram with violence and fear which is new to Nigeria. I grew up poor to middle class in the 90s in Nigeria and I thought life was wonderful. I went to a good government school, I was well fed and protected living in a house with 2 wonderful parents, hung out with friends and played lots of soccer in my spare time

Nigeria was OK for a long long time, the problem is the Wahhabi (or salafi) strain of Islam that was exported in the 90s by US best gulf ally. Its started slow with Saudi back politicians implementing sharia law on everybody in those states where they achieved victory and then the graduates from those islamic schools started trying to change society. Also the weapons attained from the ill advised Libyan war did not help. This is stuff is a new level of fucked up that I have never seen in my lifetime.
