Quite contradictory... Biafra is everything that Nigeria isn't so they can't mix. Just like mixing water and oil.

Well people must always criticize even when they have not read the book. As a good author why don't you write a book and tell us how it should be,maybe we might learn.

Just know that with the current system Nigeria is dead at arrival.

Jonathan really loved Nigeria by setting up a confab 2 ensure Nigeria doesn't break up.

If Buhari truely loves Nigeria he knows what to do.

Terry68:
Most people will be dissapointed on why it was coined "We are Biafrans"

It embraces unity irrespective of where state of origin is Paramount.

State of origin should be on default. And let's start seeing others as one.

True! we need to renegotiate this 'Unity'. Or perhaps implement Confab Report.

If the author is a "Nigeriphille" or whatever, then she should be ashamed of herself for hiding behind the heroic efforts of B****ans who were and remain Nigeriaphobic to gain cheap popularity.

A good author wouldn't need to use the magic word Bia***, her writing skills and content of her book would sell her book.

You can't be Nigeria loving and at the same time be a Bia****, no such thing exist. The author might need her head examined.

I keep wondering why Jonathan was not asked to implement the recommendations of his confab.

Sweetlemon:
Oh! So the book's title is actually misleading?

I thought I saw Igbos rejoicing on the launch thread that Atiku and Ezekwesili are supporting Biafra ?

However, secondly, the author admits this will not be easy and concedes that it is indeed possible that “there is nothing sacrosanct about Nigeria” and that “Nigeria will disintegrate unless we collectively do something about it.” [5] Recalling martyred former Attorney-General of the Federation, Bola Ige, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria SAN) whose assassination in his home in 2001 remains unsolved, the author asserts that “there are two basic questions that must be answered by all Nigerians. One, do we want to remain as one country? Two, if the answer is yes, under what conditions?” [6] In his opinion, the country now confronts three options: “either it degenerates into anarchy (Liberia and Somalia) or disintegrates (Yugoslavia and Soviet Union), or the whole nation meets to save itself.”[7] The author concedes that “it might be difficult for Nigeria to disintegrate into ethnic republics” but warns that “the Somalianization” of Nigeria is a “clear and present danger.”[8] Tantalising as this point is, the book stops short of fully developing the threat of “Somalianization” and what it could look like. The ethnic cartography of Nigeria and historic inter-marriage among ethnicities makes it somewhat difficult to sustain the comparison with Somalia which comprises only Somalis. That said, however, the author’s preferred outcome for Nigeria is a National Conference that fully develops the bases for Nigeria’s co-existence.
Part of the reason for Nigeria’s failure in constructing a functional state, thirdly, is our collective tendency towards convenient amnesia. Nigeria, the author argues, “has not engaged with” those that it excludes. [9] According to him:
Nigeria has not engaged with Biafra and there is a lot that is still unresolved about the civil war. But it’s not just Biafra and that tumultuous period of our history. There is a lot that is unresolved about Nigeria as a whole and about many aspects of our existence as a country. Nigeria has not engaged with June 12, just as we have not engaged with Boko Haram, to mention only two of the more recent episodic convulsions that threaten the very foundation of the country. In a sense, the Biafra experience could be a metaphor for the many unresolved problems that confront us as a country.[10]

Victorvexz:

Clown u think every country is perfect? So in ur mind u want Igbo only country? Tell me which country in Africa has only one tribe. Nigeria is not the only country with significant number of Hausa, go to neighboring Cameroon, Niger, Chad and Côte d voire, they are many living peacefully. There is no perfect country on earth, and Nigeria is certainly not prefect
