The Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970).Nigeria became independent in 1960. In 1967, it was rich, diverse and full of potential. Then it suddenly started tearing itself apart. It took this brutal war to reveal that borders alone cannot create a nation, identity and unity must come first.Freedom without cohesion is fragile.
