Abstract:

The alarming rate at which Boko Haram gained popular support belies a deeper historical context that created conditions, along with events in more recent history, in which a spark became the flashpoint of an ensuing wildfire which has spread throughout the northern parts of Nigeria and the Lake Chad Basin region. The confluence of history, ethnic identity, the interplay of religious and political loyalties, socio-economic hardships, and government corruption have all played a part in the story of Boko Haram.
