BOKO HARAM AND HOW NIGERIA MAY COLLAPSE LIKE OTHER AFRICAN EMPIRES

Nigeria is unarguably running with speed on the highway of an inevitable crash if the war against Boko Haram insurgents by the federal government remain as its currently. Boko Hram fanatics who have refused to stop their deadly attacks on the Nigeria state aiming to create an Islamic Republic may surely achieve it as its not new but peculiar to the history of African empires and kingdoms that have existed before now.
