I'm posting this knowing it may not get much traction, but for those willing to commit to viewing it, much thanks, The civil war known as the Biafran war in Nigeria,shows the difficulty in trying for a unified African state, I wished it weren't so. Before this I've known next to nothing about this conflict, except it was portrayed as just a bunch o tribalist Africans going at it..folks it ran deeper than that,greed and power grab for sure, but also hidden foreign hands had its say in it also, for awhile now I sorta romanticized Nigeria as the nation with the largest economy,the most billionaires in Africa, as the one to raise up Africa, thing is they are still too at odds within themselves to even do that,case in point,Boko Haram in its modern state have deeper roots one cannot simply ignore, pls watch vid, and you can see why.

Yeah tribalism is more a Celt vs Saxon thing (IRA vs Great Britain) Teutons vs Slavs Gauls Angles (20th century Euro Tribal Wars I & II)
