BBB: BORNO is BURNING but not BORING (PART 1)

Tears in my eyes!
Sweat on my skin!
Blood on my flesh!
And punctures on my heart!
The recent turns and twists of insurgency in Nigeria is speedily becoming a fiasco and I'm, more than ever, convinced it has both political and religious affiliations but more political than we were ever told. I've seen lots of action films and science fiction movies all painting a virtual world of impossibilities and funny enough I, just like you, have naturally believed without any iota of doubts. If we can grab the reality behind well-orchestrated and professionally directed action films, what makes it so difficult for us to agree with open evidences and logic behind the war which continually tears off the fabric of our nation and our peaceful co-existence?
Probably you never know, that the death and injury toll of this mess and weaponry business called Boko Haram has just surpassed the casualties of the Civil War, Biafran War and every other of their likes combined.
Don't tell me it's not religious, No! Enough of that! The Borno we know used to be so accommodating and hospitable that it naturally got the slogan "Home of PEACE".

It's not the people of Borno that's the problem. They are practically people who lead simple and decent lives but the peace they enjoyed has been torn into pieces, for no just reason. Whoever has been to Maiduguri as a visitor or passer-by, before the strange invasion, can testify to this. It may even interest you to know that a large percentage of students studying in University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) are non-indigenes, mostly Igbo, Yoruba, and Ijaw etc. If the conditions were not favourable, they wouldn't travel so far just to get a college degree. The first time an America president would visit Nigeria was year 2000, during the Olusegun Obasanjo's regime. Of those wonderful spots in Nigeria Bill Clinton was taken to was this same Maiduguri. At this point, I think we need to begin to ask cogent questions which can salvage this predicament. 
If Borno was a boring state, the Nigerian president wouldn't have shown any interest in it not to talk of taking the world's most protected individual then, Bill Clinton, there.
For the records, Borno, Adamawa, Yobe and other Northern states is home for a higher percentage of Nigerian Muslims most of whom became Muslims as part of a societal and parental inheritance. They may not understand as much of the faith than a southwestern Muslim, they may only have the looks. They often confuse themselves and other people with the looks.
The typical Hausa man that I know is one who loves his brothers as himself. He keeps a smiling face, wears perfumed clothing and gives you an extra tip if you speak his language or show some sort of interest in it. 

Watch out for PART TWO.......
