The world has moved beyond 1967, when declaration of ethnic independence must be opposed with force. On 18th December 1992, the United Nations adopted resolution 47/135 for the Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities.

All that the Ibos need do is to convene a referendum and take the result to the United Nations. Peacefully, they shall actualize Biafra. I strongly suggest that the Ibos should hold a referendum and settle this Biafra issue once and for all.

Rather than remain in the entity called Nigeria and be at loggerheads with the other ethnic groups, you can have your country. I do not expect Chinua Achebe to correct the wrong impression that he has handed down to his tribe. The only other option, is for the country that was, to become the country that is, if majority of the Ibo people want it so.

If there was a country, you can have it.
