With the current insecurity in the country and the incessants
attack by the Boko Haram sects. There’s been different opinions as to
when there’ll be an end to these sects.
A behavioural analyst, Olokode, however has written from Ibadan sharing his opinion on why Boko Haram may never end.

Truth is bitter. The piece I am set to write already gives me a
foretaste of bitterness. A signal of the sure surge of fury, resentment
and provocation its caption is likely to provoke in most readers, at
least, at first sight. This seemingly pessimistic and, probably,
outwardly ill-wishing title may even, compel some, in a rage of
rashness, to cast me off as a Boko Haram apologist or even an outright
Boko Haramite. Whatever name you call me, I patriotically acquiesce.
And, before I get crucified, let me quickly reiterate that my seeming
hopelessness came from the naked dehumanisation of the masses I sighted
as this overloaded six-passenger bus snaked its way through some
city-based ‘villages’ on a domestic journey. Nothing in all I saw, left
and right, suggested the presence of a government, monarchy or
leadership of any sort that cared for the basic human needs that would
ensure that natural humans get nurtured into social humans.
The adage, man is a product of his environment, thus, asked me a
painful rhetorical question: Can these hostile-living conditions produce
socially-responsible masses filled with blood of love for fellow
citizens of ‘strange’ origin, religion, education and exposure?
