Nigeria Should Let Biafra Go.- London Suntimes by FireE: 10:25pm On Nov 09, 2015
This article which was
published on London Sun
Times Newspaper on
November 7th, 2015 is
making its rounds on Nigerian
news forums and Social
media. While some see such
article as a possible indicator
of changing attitudes, the
British Government has
remained mute over this
matter. This does not mean
that because Britain was the
colonial administrator of
Nigeria and actually the
originator of forming the
nation called Nigeria by
merging the Northern, and
Southern protectorates, that
the decision on this matter
would be made by Britain. Far
from that.
As in cases before this, the
United Nations plays a greater
role in such situations as was
the case in Southern Sudan
recently. But the fact of the
matter is that Nigerians would
have to make this decision by
themselves. There are
demands for Biafra
independence by IPOB and
MASSOB and othesr, there are
also demands for separation
being pushed by Odua for the
West and even in the Niger
Delta there are building
sentiments on this matter as
well. Some in the north have
called for the formation of
Arewa Republic different from
Boko Haram that wants to
form an Islamic Caliphate in
the northeast region of
Nigeria.
It appears that many
Nigerians are now more open
to this question. Everyone
seems to agree that Nigeria
will not fight any more wars
as was the case from
1967-1970 during the
Nigeria-Biafra war when
estimated 1-2 million lives
perished largely due to
hunger and malnutrition.
Many people particularly older
generation of Nigerians are
still traumatized by that war
fatigue experience. The
immediate trigger and
resurgence of the Biafra
independence was the result
of the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu
which created a rallying cause
for many people particularly in
the South East and South
South regions. Of all these
groups Biafra group seem to
have gone further in this push
for independence than other
groups, and already have
Flags, National colors and even
a National anthem.
