Two Lies As Biafra Turns 40 9/7/2007

LOl @ EmakaNaija,

The people that were {and still are }agitating for Biafra were Igbos, sure Ojukwu decided to carve up all Ijaw and other minority land into his so called country,  The so called oppressed then flipped into the oppressor, I think they call it the paedophile syndrome.


I could care less who decides to do what, I love my country and I would rather keep it together but if we must part, so be it.

@Afrocynic

Maybe you still do not understand my point. MASSOB agitating for Biafra cannot re-write history. MASSOB or Igbo agitation for Biafra still does not change the simple historic fact that Biafra as known in 1967 was the whole of former Eastern Nigeria. Biafra was led by Ojukwu - fact. Effiong (a non-Igbo) was 2nd in command - fact. I careless about more recent events. No matter how we try, one cannot change the past.

Biafra is long dead now but its ghost could still hunt us if its not buried properly.

@ EmekaNaija, perhaps I did not fully comprehend your point but for me Biafra has always been an Igbo issue and it still remains one, that the second in command to the megalomaniac that is Ojukwu happened to have been a non Igbo is an immaterial fact, as far as I am concerned.

I do however agree with you that the matter has not been fully resolved but this is Nigeria and nothing ever gets fully resolved, so hey,
