ABSTRACT
The Nigeria Civil War of 1967 – 1970, unlike other wars across international boundaries, was a war of unification, a war of reintegration (of secession). It was therefore a much more difficult war for the federal military government of Nigeria to prosecute with objectives of unification in mind than war; fought against aggressor on foreign land. The citizens and nationhood was paramount it was a contradiction and a complicate one not easy to resolve. How to fight causing only limited destruction, how to inflict wounds and heal at the same time, how to subdue without fatal and permanent injuries, how to feed and house civilian population without exposing the troops to danger and risk of saboteurs and infiltrators, how to achieve surrender without inflicting permanent or long lasting psychological humiliation.
