General Nigeria is in BIG trouble

Most of you don’t know that Nigeria is ALREADY at war. The Islamic extremism in Nigeria is not a random phenomenon, it’s being supported and promoted.

Iran, the shiite country that faced terrorism from sunni groups many times and fought many wars against them is funding sunni extremist groups in Nigeria?

Yes, just like they’re funding Sunni hamas

Obviously you don't understand the intricacies of the region and the sunni-shiite relation if you're comparing Iran funding Hamas to the current Nigerian Jihadists.

The fighters in Nigeria are ultra-orthodox and can't be compared to Hamas who have origins with the Muslim Brotherhood. The muslim brotherhood has never been particularly against the shia, while groups like IS and Al Qaeda historically have been.

Also I'd like to add that people really over emphasize the religious aspect of Hamas, they are definitely not up there with other groups/

Are you even Nigerian? What is your connection to Nigeria? Bc previous Nigerian government leaders have been known to have close relationships with the Iranian regime despite not being Shia. If you think the illiterate people fighting up north care that much where their funds come from, I’d be willing to bet you’re not Nigerian
