Article Title: The Religious Extremism Of 'Boko Haram' Insurgents In Nigeria: A Philosophical Inquest
by Dr. Abiodun Moses, Jinadu

Abstract:
The paper examined “Boko Haram” as an insurgent group which has unleashed terror, wrecked havoc and brought upheavals to the territorial integrity of Nigeria as a country. The Islamic sect popularly called “Boko Haram” has become a threat to Nigeria and her economy. It also examined the untold economic, social and political hardship this cankerworm had wrecked on the lives of the people. The paper gave an insight into the evolution of “Boko Haram” from the ethical, religious, political and psychological points of view. Various literatures and opinions of people were reviewed. The critical and analytical methods were employed in the course of writing this paper. However, some suggestions were made on how this ugly development could be curtailed by not allowing it to escalate to civil war among the various ethnic groups of Nigeria. The paper concluded by stressing and emphasizing on the revitalization and re-orientation of the mindsets of these insurgents in order to put a stop to their dastardly acts.
