After the government launched the Military campaign, “Operation Python Dance” in September to engage secessionist in the region and the ensuing struggle between the military and IPOB members, not so much has been heard of IPOB.

An extended chat with a couple of Eastern musicians didn’t yield any feedbacks that point to the possibility of Biafra’s continuity. As you may know, anyone who carries out any activity in the name of Biafra is to be considered a terrorist. Eastern singers dread such fate, hence their refusal to make comments on anything Biafra in and out of their songs.

One managed to mutter that Biafra may never be, and so, is not worth dying for. Another said he can only talk Biafra if Biafra succeeds. Finally, a young rapper gave a lengthy speech, but under the strict plea for anonymity. He said;

“I think none of us wants to be associated with something that might affect our possibility to achieve success. Nobody would like to have their chance at personal success hindered by fighting for a cause that might not be successful. Let’s face it, nobody is sure that we will get the Biafra that our fathers fought for, and our youths are struggling to achieve.”
