I spotted this piece in one of my WhatsApp groups and want your opinions on it. The title reads “MARK MY WORDS; WAR WILL SOON BREAK OUT IN NIGERIA – Olusegun Obasanjo. Read the whole article and share your thoughts in the comment section. Another civil war in Nigeria has become imminent and inevitable.

The just-concluded Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential primaries, which ought to be a trending story in the media, seem to have been eclipsed by a more worrisome development that happens to be the conspiratorial plot to draft former President Goodluck Jonathan into the race to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) which had hitherto sacked Jonathan from Aso Rock, in 2015.
