Boko Haram, an islamic terrorist group that prohibits any sort of Western assimilation for Muslims, is prominent in Nigeria. Forbidding the wearing of t-shirts, participating in politics, or a secular education, Boko Haram has proved deadly in the region. Often bombing schools and communities, the group is responsible for hundreds, if not thousands, of deaths.
Boko Haram, much like ISIS, relies on recruiting within schools. They control many non-Western education centers within Nigeria. Children are more easily persuaded, which strengthens Boko Haram numbers.
