Boko Haram is the Hasua name for The Congregation of the People of Tradition for Proselytism and Jihad. It is a group and militant organization based in the northeast of Nigeria, north Cameroon and Niger.
Founded by Mohammed Yusuf in 2002, the organization seeks to establish a "pure" Islamic state ruled by sharia, putting a stop to what it deems Westernization. The group is known for attacking Christians, Muslims and government targets, bombing churches, mosques, schools and police stations, and kidnapping western tourists, but has also assassinated members of the Islamic establishment who have condemned their operations over the years. Violence linked to the Boko Haram insurgency has resulted in an estimated 10,000 deaths between 2002 and 2013.
The group exerts influence in the northeastern Nigerian states of Borno, Adamawa, Kaduna, Bauchi, Yobe and Kano. In this region, a state of emergency has been declared. The group does not have a clear structure or evident chain of command. It is reportedly divided into three factions with a splinter group known as Ansaru. The group's main leader is Abubakar Shekau. Its weapons expert, second-in-command and arms manufacturer was Momodu Bama.

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.

What is boko haram?
Boko Haram is an extremist Sunni Islamist organization which has links to al-Qaeda. It is primarily based in Nigeria's predominantly Muslim north (as compared to predominantly Christian, Yoruba, and Indigenous Religious south). As an Islamist organization, they wish to overthrow the moderately secular nature of Nigeria's governmental structure and institute an Islamic State governed by a repressive reading of Islamic Law. They have targeted Christian minorities in the north and have been increasingly brazen in their attacks against Nigerian southerners, such as the kidnapping of 200 schoolgirls from southern Nigeria to be child brides against their will.
