They\u2019ve gone as far as kidnapping children, burning down villages, and going on killing sprees. Their motive is to create an islamic state out of Nigeria, but they do not have many supporters. They\u2019re very successful because Nigeria is incapable of handling them; lack of funds, and corruptness by some of the generals are a few reasons of why the Boko Haram haven\u2019t been stamped out yet.

All in all, the Boko Haram remain because Buhari\u2019s generals are corrupt, funds are not great for the nigerian forces, and neither are their strategic plans dealing with insurgency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Since Mohammed Yusuf\u2019s death in 2009, Boko Haram has launched a violent campaign against the state of Nigeria.
