THE REAL HƐRƐM WORKERS OF NIGERIA

They are now generally known by the appellation "Ɓoko Haram". But in practical reality this noun is much less true of them than it is of the others who call it.
The biggest practitioners of hɛrɛm here, those who are constantly turning Nigeria's wine into sewage, are almost exclusively found among the so-called educated people of Nigeria. They are the ones who make Europe-born book-learning here to appear to be only a process of sharpening one's talents for use in crime.
But for a few exceptions, this would just be an unmitigated fact. Independability, rat-mentality (a house rat never produces what it needs; it always steals them). Nothing is sacred. Even pensioneers' pensions. Though it's somewhat a retribution; some of the pensioneers actively partook in building this uncompromisingly corrupt complex that is now, in their turn, denying them their merits.

Two parties competing at hɛrɛm: the gov'ments and the un-islamic jihadists are not opposing forces. The two are working in the same direction. In short, they are unco-operatively co-operating. They hunt each other not as much because of their differentness as because of their similarity. The governments with only the difference (legitimacy) of a faint constitutionality make sure that people suffer and perish unnecessarily. What else are the book- tabooists making sure of?

And that's the pitiably unfortunate part of it all: that they'll go the nigerian way: succeeding or failing without establishing any definable concept; or any procedure for practicing some concept.
Why? Because so many of them are drug addicts; always intoxicated!
Might it be that their apparent braveries are mere by-products of the vagaries of intoxicants and intoxication? The very hɛrɛms they claim to be fighting against have become their mainstay!
