A frequent guest on this program "Bullet Points", Abayomi Azikwe,
editor of the Pan-African News Wire, discusses the current political,
economic and security situation in the West African state of Nigeria.
Navid Nasr, the host, queries Azikiwe on the socio-economic and
historical context of the present crises involving the war against
Boko Haram. Since 2009, the Federal Republic of Nigeria has been
battling the sect which claims that it is opposed to western education
in its interpretation of Islam.
Nonetheless, Islamic scholars say that the Boko Haram sect does not
reflect the believes of Muslims in Nigeria and around the world. The
kidnapping of over 270 school girls have thrust the group into the
world's spotlight.
Azikiwe says that the Boko Haram problem cannot be viewed outside the
unresolved post-colonial regional divisions inside the country,
Africa's most populous. He raises questions about the proclamation of
Nigeria having the largest economy in Africa when there is still mass
poverty, joblessness and burgeoning class divisions inside the
country.
The Pan-African News Wire says that the re-basing of Gross Domestic
Product figures for Nigeria by the West coupled with the growing Boko
Haram crisis will only provide a rationale for imperialist
intervention in the oil-rich state, the largest exporter from Africa
into the U.S. of sweet crude.
