It’s breaks my heart to see able-bodied men and women marching on the streets of South-Eastern Nigeria agitating for their own country- Biafra. These people should have been at their workplaces. This goes on to depict one of the grievances they have against the Federal Republic of Nigeria- Unemployment.

It gets laughable that a majority of the protesters never experienced the war. (How many of them on the streets are up to 48 years old?) They don't know what a war is like yet, they are gyrating to the tune of the drums of war.

1967-1970 saw Nigeria, especially Eastern Nigeria, ravaged by a war that claimed the lives of more than 1.5 million Nigerians. Some families never recovered after that war. 48 years later, some Nigerians are opening old wounds: they are clamouring for Biafra. This makes one wonder: “Why are they doing this? What do they hope to achieve?”

Sadly, the man that sparked this fire and desire for Biafra, Late Dim Ojukwu, has passed on. But before he crossed over to the other side, he expressly stated:


“... And I will say it to everyone I led proudly the first one. I don't think a second one is necessary. We should have learnt from that first one. Otherwise, the dead would have been to no avail... It would have all been in vain.”


Bearing this in mind, I don't understand why some people from the South-Eastern part of Nigeria want to go for Biafra despite knowing that it could cause a war.
