BACKGROUND
The Eastern part of Nigeria is a made up of predominantly Christian population whose way of life is different from their Northern Counterparts that are predominantly Muslims. These two groups of people existed on their own without the interference of the other for thousands of years before the coming of the white men. These diverse entities were amalgamated in 1914 by the then Governor of the colonized Niger Area – Lord Frederick Luggard for the purpose of convenience in the administrative governance of the area. The amalgamation of the North and the South of the Niger-Area came into force and it was Flora Shaw that gave it the name Nigeria, coined from the word – NIGER + AREA.

After the flag independence of Nigeria in 1960, the crop of leaders that took over from the colonial masters in their effort to gain control of the Nation through undue influence gradually planted the seed of nepotism, hatred, and ethnic division among the worst of all, corruption that has continued to cripple Nigeria to date.

Over time, the notion that the Ibos were domineering people gradually degenerated into hatred that caused the massacre of the Easterners in the North in an effort to curb their presumed influence and abilities as they were the most educated and versatile of the people of Nigeria. The unending massacre resulting from greed and nepotism caused the then Governor of Eastern Nigeria – Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu to declare a Republic of Biafra in 1967. The declaration brought a civil war when the Nigeria government under Gen.Yakubu Gowon tried to force the Biafrans back into Nigeria, The war lasted for 3years from 1967 to 1970 before the Biafrans surrendered as a result of starvation ochestrated by British-Nigeria against Biafrans through total blockade of every rout that food may be brought into Biafra land. Over 1.5million children and women perished as a result of using hunger as a weapon of warfare for the first time in the history of the world, introduced by Pa Awolowo, the first Nigerian civilian minister of finance and economy under a military head of state.

MANY YEARS LATER
In order to appeal to the ego of the proud Biafrans, the war was declared no victor and no vanquished, but the actions that followed proved otherwise. The Biafrans to date lost all their properties all over Nigeria, even in their homelands and they were subjected to undue treatment of receiving 20pound in exchange for any amount you must have saved in the bank before the war. It forced them to resign to fate and their only way out became to join one trade or the other and willing out their children as servants. But over the years, they succeeded and became the most popular businessmen in Nigeria.

TODAY
As a result of the flight from Biafra land occasioned by lack of work and conducive livelihood on Biafra lands as a result of government policies which include making it impossible for Biafrans to run any company that can employ up to 100 workers, impossible to import their goods through their closest seaports some 10kilometers to them and instead have to import through Lagos about 800kilomiters away and paying bribes en-rout, to the numerous Nigeria uniformed officials back to their land (Biafra).
These numerous ill treatment caused the rise of stiff oppositions to Nigeria from this area. The first of its kind was from the Niger Delta Area by Ken Saro Wiwa and his kinsmen from Ogoni, but they were all hanged by the Nigerian government under IBB. Then the Niger Delta boys went into militancy to protest the oil spillage that was destroying their lands to date and the government of late Yaradua got wise and gave them amnesty. Other such groups are THE MEND, MASSOB and presently IPOB that is controlled by Nnamdi Kanu.

While the other groups seem to have come only to get money from the federal government, the IPOB has proved to be on a more serious mission to secede from Nigeria. Using Radio Broadcast and very advanced technology to reach the world.
