Former president Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday blamed ‘inadequate education in the North’ among other factors for the Boko Haram insurgency.
He also cited failure of leadership and unemployment among the internal remote causes of the insurgency as well as the external factor of fall-out from the fall of Gaddafi of Libya which released armed groups he was training to wreak havoc in Nigeria and other parts of Africa.
Obasanjo who was speaking on BBC Focus on Africa programme also described Boko Haram’s demands as ‘unattainable’ because no particular religion can be imposed on Nigeria as a whole.
