Boko Haram is a Nigerian Islamic group whose name means forbidden education (understood by local Hausa dialect to really mean "Western education [or karatun boko] is a sin"). They are reported to have urged followers in several northern states of Nigeria to attack police stations, prisons and churches and burn down schools in an attempt to enforce extreme Sharia and rid the country of all Western education. It is also reported that the group has ties to Afghanistan. For more information see Wikipedia's article: Boko Haram

  • Although noted for baroque and classical influences, Boko Harum’s philosophy has always included both Soul and the grittier sounds of R&B integrated with subtly poetic lyrics celebrating the lighter side of life and the virtues of unceasing interfaith warfare. Like The Beatles and the Stones before them, they were known for their soothing melding of rhythm and melody, and for the promotion of wholesale slaughter of innocents to usher in world peace. Critics have called their music "derivative" and their message "dangerously deranged" but few have disputed that their emergence from the 60s British music scene was a considerably more positive step for humanity than that of The Bee Gees. With their music out of favour in Europe and America by the early 1980s the group reformed as a touring comedy troupe, literally slaying audiences across the West African region. They took the Mahgreb by storm, becoming the most popular form of entertainment after Mr Bean re-runs and sexual relations with livestock. In 2012 they were nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, an institution they condemned as ungodly after failing to secure induction. By 2013 they had successfully reduced it to rubble through the cunning deployment of fans wearing suicide-flares.
