History that Deserves to be Remembered :
On this day 28 December 2003, Pyongyang began secret talks with Abuja on strategic defence related issues, and in January 2004 North Korea agreed to share missile technology with Nigeria.

Had this deal goes through, Nigeria would join Libya, Egypt, and Pakistan among countries to have received North Korea's help with missile technology. Sadly Nigeria's VP self sabotaged by leaking the agreement to the media. It would have been less damaging if he said no more.
Rather he went on and on how Nigeria will use this ballistic missile technology for peaceful purposes only, such "peacekeeping".
If the West had chosen to ignore this before, they no longer could. Atiku's statement " to be used for peaceful purposes" suggested implicit guilt"

It's like giving an answer to a question that was not asked. Also
"to be used for peacekeeping"?
Really?
What followed was weeks of threats if Nigeria accepted North Koreas offer. On February 4th Nigeria formally announced it has rejected North Koreas offer.

The Obasanjo/Atiku administration was terrible for the Nigerian military. OBJ's vendetta driven decimation of the military and ceding of Nigerian territory to Cameroon was matched only by his Vice President's Naivety and complete ignorance on the complexities of geopolitics.
