No country in this world has the right to interfere in the sovereign rights of another sovereign country. What does France and Britain think Nigeria is ? IRAQ. They have the impunity to say they want to send troops to Nigeria, Let them try it and see what happens to them both in military form and traditional form.Nigeria at present is made up of highly educated intelectuals all over the world, people who are both smarter than the frencn or the brits, so let them get the idea of military interference in Nigeria especially out of their minds.This is where the Northerners and Southerners come together to picture this out because it is an insult to the sovereignity of a country especially a country like Nigeria known all over the world
