I have counted like 20+ post talking about the 1966 conflict and about 50+ mention of it in the main stream media pre-election + post election and majority of them are coming from one region
of the country I assume by now we know the people I'm talking about
Every country at every given time had Thier civil wars even the American civil war was majorly about slavery. Today you don't see anyone libeling the side that supported slavery during election or going to peel off an old wound even Germans and Japanese people are not being and one ethnic group is notorious at it and it's going to go down in history as a big shame to them if they don't make amends.
Nigeria as a case study to illustrate why it's not productive to label one side as the "bad ones" when examining the negative past of a civil war
In the context of Nigeria, the Biafran War (1967-1970) serves as a poignant example. This conflict was marked by deep-seated ethnic and political tensions, which ultimately led to the secession of the southeastern region as the Republic of Biafra. The war resulted in significant loss of life and suffering on both sides.
Labeling one side as the "bad ones" in this situation oversimplifies a highly complex historical event. Several factors, including ethnic divisions, economic disparities, and political grievances, contributed to the conflict. Vilifying one side fails to consider the experiences, perspectives, and grievances of individuals on all sides of the war.
Moreover, such labeling hinders national healing and unity. Nigeria, as a diverse and multi-ethnic nation, has made significant efforts to promote reconciliation and national cohesion since the Biafran War. Focusing on blame rather than understanding and empathy can impede these efforts.
Instead, examining the Nigerian civil war should involve a nuanced approach. It means acknowledging the suffering and injustices faced by people from various ethnic backgrounds, learning from the mistakes made during that period, and working towards a more inclusive, united, and peaceful Nigeria.
In summary, the Nigerian civil war is a poignant example of why it's counterproductive to designate one side as the "bad ones." Understanding the complexities of the conflict, promoting reconciliation, and learning from history are essential steps toward a more harmonious and prosperous future for Nigeria
