Boko Haram, an extremist group in Nigeria, opposes Western education because they believe it promotes values and ideologies contrary to their strict interpretation of Islam. They view Western education as a corrupting influence that undermines traditional Islamic teachings and societal norms. The group aims to establish a society governed by their interpretation of Sharia law, rejecting any form of education that does not align with their beliefs. This anti-Western stance is central to their ideology and justifies their violent actions against educational institutions.
Boko Haram is an Islamist militant group based in northeastern Nigeria, officially named "Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'awati wal-Jihad," which translates to "People Committed to the Propagation of the Prophet's Teachings and Jihad." The group's name, "Boko Haram," roughly means "Western education is forbidden," reflecting its opposition to Western influences and education systems. Founded in the early 2000s, Boko Haram seeks to establish an Islamic state governed by strict Sharia law. The group is notorious for its violent insurgency, including bombings, kidnappings, and attacks on civilians and military targets.

There might be a place depending on how the people in charge want your hair and eyes to be and there might be a place where they say no they want brown eyes. In Nigeria, people dont care what type of hair you have they are just looking for whether you are in the Boko Haram squad. What I know is that people are trying to get Boko Haram and others are just asking policemen when Boko Haram would be caught and taken to prison. Anyways back to the question, there are just some places that does not like that but there are some places that allow it so it depends.

The Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria has severely undermined national development by causing widespread insecurity, displacing millions, and disrupting economic activities in affected regions. It has led to significant loss of lives and property, which impedes investment and hinders infrastructure development. Additionally, the conflict has strained government resources and diverted attention from essential social services, such as education and healthcare, further exacerbating poverty and underdevelopment in the region. Ultimately, the ongoing violence continues to stifle Nigeria's potential for growth and stability.
