Why Nigeria Should Never Drag Igbo Into Another War, Obasanjo Explains

Former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, has warned Nigerians against leading Igbos to another war.

Obasanjo while speaking at his lectures recently, reminded the Yorubas concerning the war of 1967, the civil war. He said the Igbo tribe was defeated because they had nothing then.

According to him, there were few borders then and once the Nigerians captured those states with the borders, the Igbos were sealed in with no hope of getting help from the outside world.

He added that the countries which could assist them also did not quite understand what they were fighting for.

However, in his recent warning, Obasanjo said the Igbos are all over the world and very rich. They can now buy weapons and many other things necessary for the war to be won, he added.
