  P.K Baidoo, trust me, Boko Haram will never gain any root in Ghana. Ghana is rather sitting on a tribalism time bomb. If we can wean ourselves off the tribalism radar, we will get to the promise land. Look at how polarized our body politics is. Everything in Ghana hinges on tribalism which is very bad. The elites have sensed that and they are using that to their advantage which is very bad. There is no time in our history that our economy had absorbed all unemployed hands but as you pointed out, the rate of unemployment had reached a critical point but it seems our leaders (if we have any) do not care.
  
  As we speak, if you are not an NDC carrying card member or do not come from some particular regions, the chances of getting employment is very remote.
  
  Some of the social vices that will be rampant due to high unemployment is armed robbery, sakawa, 419 or anything that people will do to survive but the acts of Boko Haram in Ghana is very remote.

  pls, your analysis are valid but i fail to understand why the attacks of Boko haram are not targeted at the leaders and officials whom you accused of corruption and embezzlement. Mr.Baidoo, can you explain why their(Boko Haram) real name is Ahlil Sunna Wal Jamai Lil Da'wata Wal Jihad? Again, i find it untenable why their mission is to establish an islamic state in Borno State. As to whether they are in Ghana or not depends on our brothers and sisters in the islamic religion. Because every good moslem believes in the Qu'ran and can be easily influence by a single Boko Haram member to join in the their crusade. Since the Qu'ran is explicit in chapers 4, 5, and 9 on the subject. For the curious mind, refer to Qu'ran 5:51, 5:80, 9:5, 9:29-30. etc. etc. Every body must be very careful.
