Jump To Comment: 5 4 3 2 1The US will use these groups, there is also the example of the Baluchi group in Iran who make Boko look like moderates.
But Nigeria has a population of 150 million, 50% christian, 50% muslim. The north is predominantly muslim and the south is christian. I really don't see how civil war and the consequent disruption of oil supplies suits the imperialist agenda. They can't use proxies to take over a country with 150 million people nor do they have the millions of troops which would be required to occupy it.
Sometimes a mad group is just that but in this case its possible that they are being manipulated by internal forces, the muslim north felt it was their turn to elect a president.

Its also worth noting that some of the policies approved by the IMF are causing major trouble in Nigeria
Nigeria fuel strike brings country to a halt
Yusuf Tuggar, former member of House of Representatives: ''It is not acceptable, the majority of Nigerians are living on less than $2 a day''
A general strike in Nigeria over the elimination of a fuel subsidy has brought the country to a standstill.
Shops, offices, schools and petrol stations around the country closed on the first day of an indefinite strike.

No doubt Boko Haram has been active for years, but if the CIA \ Mossad considers them useful, then they will find themselves armed and funded - just as the Islamic extremists in Libya and Syria have. I dont think a stable Nigeria suits the Africom agenda in Africa at all. Indeed, Africom recently held a military exercise to test its response to Nigeria becoming a Libya or Syria scenario. Why do that, if there are not already plans to make it happen?
I agree with most of what you say, however the Boko Haram have been active for years in Nigeria. Heres a collection od reports going back to July 2009:http://www.forteantimes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38323
I don't think even the US would plunge Nigeria into civil war just because of a few disagreements with the IMF. Successive Nigerian administrations have and continue to cooperate with Imperialism and the US maintains bases in the country. The Brits may have an SAS Unit permanently based in Nigeria.
Its clear that the overall strategy, at this point, is to turn the Arab \ Israeli conflict into the Sunni \ Shia conflict. But, that will not be quite enough for the Israelis. The next step will be to foster a general Muslim Vs Christian war, in which Israel will be able to fit nicely under the wing of the Christian armies. We see this beginning already in Syria, with the demand of the rebels that all Christians should be expelled from Syria. We see it in Nigeria. It is no accident that the bombings of Christian churches happened just as the Nigerian government started showing signs of independent thought, i.e. a shocking rejection of IMF dictats. Whatever people may think of the Syrian government, don't make the mistake that many made on Libya. We must support the Syrian state in its efforts to defeat this CIA \ Mossad insurrection. The only war Muslims have to fight is the war against the apartheid Israeli state. Christians, and also Jews, should support the Muslims in this just fight. The Western Left was duped on Libya. It's time to wake up.
I think the Russians are sending a strong message to NATO. In more news 11 more Syrian troops have been killed, this according to the "opposition". It was hardly unarmed civilians who did this.
In another development, a Russian naval flotilla aircraft led by an aircraft carrier docked in the Syrian port of Tartus.
The carrier group is due to spend six days in Tartus, where Russia has a naval base dating back to Soviet times.
