Even among elites in capital cities in the north, television and Internet use are not prevalent. In the south, on the other hand, evening TV audiences have surpassed evening radio listening.

Boko Haram Leader - Abubakar Shekau gives
Northern Nigeria Hausa People a Bad Name

Abubakar Shekau is the leader of the militant Islamist group Boko Haram, which has carried out a series of deadly attacks across northern Nigeria.

The leader of the militant Islamist group Boko Haram is said to be a fearless loner, a complex, paradoxical man - part intellectual, part gangster.

Popularly known as Imam or leader by his followers, Abubakar Muhammad Shekau was born in Shekau village in Nigeria's north-eastern state of Yobe.

Some say he is 35 or 36 as of 2015, others that he may be 43 - the uncertainty adds to the myths surrounding Nigeria's most wanted man.
