ITRODUCTION (part one)
In the light of what has been a major problem in nigeria, specifically the north-eastern region that has been engulfed by the menence of Boko Haram terrorism since 2009, which has lead to the destruction of precious lives & properties worth millions. as I try to look at the root-cause of this problem, in as much as the Truth remains that it was(it is) political. the question one needs to ask is ' what has been the factor(s) that has kept this problem lingering or even getting worse for almost a decade' now? as such, I have come to the realization that two key factors are responsible which are

looking at nigeria and the north-eastern region, it is being characterized by high level of poverty, which comes as a result of lack of economic growth, poor health conditions as a result of the lack of medical infrastructures/facilities etc which are also products of bad/ill-educational system that is also related to the psychology of the people towards education, which has for generations lead to their preference of Religion over education. https://academic.oup.com/ojlr/article/3/2/311/1379483.

in next post, I expantiate more on the above and on religion as caterlizing factors to the problem of terrorism in nigeria and particularly in the northeastern region.
