How we got to where we are today; Major Patrick Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu gave answer in 1966 speech
In 1966, Major Patrick Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu seemed to give us the answer in a speech he made after staging a successful coup. Here is an excerpt from his speech that day:

Do you agree with him?

Analogies between Yugoslavia and the Ukraine
Similarities in the way the Western coalition is handling the Ukrainian crisis that it engendered and brought to the point of savage conflict and the strategies that the same actors pursued in the nineties to lay the foundations for a brutal civil war and stoke the conflict resulting in the destruction of the Former Yugoslavia are being closely analyzed by Russian experts.

It enables you, within broad limits, to anticipate his moves and to devise effective countermeasures.

Nigeria’s military launched ground and air offensives against Boko Haram to recapture the northeastern town of Michika that fell to the jihadist militants over the weekend, witnesses said on Wednesday.
