Another Militant Group Trying to "Unify" Nigeria

This has gotten to the point that I am beyond irritated. These militant groups that are popping out of various corners of Nigeria have been talking about unifying the country or trying to impose extremists views on everyone. What really makes my skin crawl are those groups that kill in the name of God.

The Boko Haram movement, an extremist Islamic sect, which means "non-Islamic education is sacrilege" in Hausa, has killed many in northeastern Nigeria (including other Muslims and Muslim clerics). A story came out today on aol.com focusing on this group and how they have murdered 13 lawmen in the past three months.

Along with them, we have people in the oil-rich southeastern region of Nigeria killing people to make a point. I'm sorry, but your point has not been made. Instead you have cost money, time, and most importantly, lives of your fellow citizens.
