Abstract
Part Two of the book provides a detailed account of Boko Haram’s declaration of war on the Nigerian state and the process involved-decisions and actions taken to reach the verdict. The first half of the chapter contains further sermons and teachings by Boko Haram leadership- Muhammad Yusuf, Abubakar Shekau and Muhammad Mamman Nur, that establish the ideological fulcrum for Boko Haram’s insurgency. Some of the central points expressed include Boko Haram’s system of religious belief and the origin and concept of a ‘true Muslim’. Particularly, the chapter presents Boko Haram’s position on Western civilisation that earned it the notorious name- Boko Haram (meaning ‘Western education is sin’). As in part one, this chapter documents the events (but mostly internal ramifications and activities) that will set the stage for the next phase of its Jihad- which represents a dramatic shift from Da’wah (preaching) to insurgency.
