These explaination videos are by far my favorite type of videos you guys upload. Just wish you did more of them and they where a few minutes longer! I find these international political themed videos great. Its nice to hear about whats going on in the world from someone with no bias. Just straight factual information in a entertaining, informative, well made package!! Keep up the good work!!!

Hrithik Bagade:

Work towards eradicating poverty.. you need food, clothing, shelter, health and education.. not religion

AnyOtherNamePlease:

As someone born and raised in the failing multicultural country of South Africa, I have no idea why the West would want to embrace this ideal when it just inevitably leads to social conflict?

aiman hatim:

The question is where they got the weapons?

gueime abicho:

Aziz mana

¯\_(ツ)_/¯:

*somaliland video next please*

Ayodel Dele:

Im sorry to say but as a Nigerian this video is quite misleading... Anyways now in 2017 and 2018 the government prominently northern for instance 82 of president Buhari’s 100 appointments were of northerners and the government has actually shunned the South East

Billy Jeans:

Lerzoos Lercoos:

I'm an ignorant I thought that terrorist were only in the middle east

_cashboat:

Okkkk so my mom always told me hausa guys are chill and not as agressive as igbo people

Anyanwu Silas:

Mr Vox, you know nothing about Nigeria and boko haram

That guy outside your window:

2020 update : boko haram has been pushed out of the country and now they only operate on the border of Borno and Chad(Another West African Country), IDP's have returned to their homes and the only state where they still have a minor presence is Borno(Because it borders another African country)

The Avion:

I thought it was Christians.

ancientmodern andtomorrow:

It's on record that buhari and some northern leaders created bokoharam, this is a fact the northern Nigerians can't deny, bokoharam is their political tool, all these their pretense and propaganda will not help them

t0n0k0:

How is Buhari a former dictator, this is his first term as president, no?

MAD MAXIMUS:

i wonder how these people get their weapons, hmmm.

Boqor radio:

if you see a conflict zone then the people are in NOT in charge of their AFFAIRS! FULL STOP ! develop regions EQUALLY

Olaf Heraldsson:

Rather than rotating the presidency, why not just split the country. I understand it's a bad precedent to just split things up at every chance, but it seems worth while in this case.

james mandeville:

boko no harem

Boogster Su:

Who should we blame for growing Boko Haram? America, or the UK?

Mohammed Abdul Aziz:

If there are militants then it has to be you the Media. Know noting but defamations. Let me teach you about words militant and Islam which you know noting about. The religion of Islam has no militant.The word militant has to do with military.

Jaron Balfour:

But nigerians say christianity mash up the land

ALLIS WELL mxo:

The empire is greeting more money that time, black people mara

AMN O-Jay:

For some odd reason, I feel that a European is behind all of this.

Zlane:

Terrorist wins

Matt Gasparro:

3 seconds in this guy cant even pronounce Islamist

Singh Charan:

Real reason for the Boko Haram existence is forced conversion of northern Nigerian muslims to christianity by christian missionary.
Boko haram attacks the christian villages, schools and hospitals.

Also the rights of locals have taken away, making them join terrorist groups as Boko haram. When people are forced to live in such dire conditions such things tend to happen.

Corrupt governments have least interest in resolving such issues.

Sad story of our world, Evil rules the world...........

Zach Mahassine:

Hey. I work with a company that was wondering about licensing part of this clip for something we were working on. I haven't been able to get through to anyone. Might you be able to help me?

zion empire:

When will humans strip themself from the evils of religion and love each other .

Slade Haroldson:

Britain should have kept the Christian's one side and muslims one side, at least if u wanna colonize do it right for fk sakes

Obi117kh:

Hmmm....wherever there is Islam, there’s death. Strange coincidence.

Kester Eleke:

Nigerian Zoning wasn't between Muslims and Christians, but between Geo-political zones, regardless of the individual's religion.

Michael Rees:

"the islamist group terrorising *northwest Africa's largest democracy"

Bolensgoldrush:

I love Boko Harum my favourite of his was whiter shade of pale

ruzzell907:

Why I recommend secular countries in Europe to ban Islam. No more mosques ans Islamic centers, because time and time again, they've been proven to be breeding grounds for extremism. I'm not saying ban people of the Islamic faith from entering the country, not at all.

Anon Ymous:

First!

Darkツ GOLDEN:

I am a muslim and i am not a terrorist

AZ Independent:

Most people do not realize that these so-called radical islamist are just following the Quran to a T and those that do not are apostates, so don't let them deceive you when they say that they are perverting the religion because it's a lie. That's exactly why they murder their own

Emcee Squared:

Boko Haram is not real Islam and does not represent true muslims. True muslims follow the prophet Muhamed (pbuh) who was the perfect man and only killed bad people.
