Turn by turn looting

What is so sacrosanct about the entity Nigeria?
Why is it so hard for Nigeria to let go of southeast(Biafra)?
Is this what THOMAS JEFFERSON's word that "the tree of liberty have to be watered with the blood of patriot and tyrant" means and is it what it?
Niether forgeting our differences nor remembering it has help.
Is the Unity of Nigeria on a general(collective) or personal interest?

Emancipationist and the Wail(IPOB)

Oh Lord Lugard, yes, he rob I;
Sold I to the Nigeria system,
Minutes after he took I
From the 1914 amalgamation.
But my hand was made strong
By the struggle of Biafra war.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.

Won't you help to sing
These songs of Biafra freedom?
'Cause all I ever have:
Biafra freedom;
Biafra freedom.

Emancipate yourselves from one Nigeria slavery;
None but we Biafrans can free our minds.
Have no fear for Islamisation,
'Cause Boko Harem ends in the North.
How long shall they kill our conscience ,
While we stand aside and wail? Ooh!
Some say it's just a part one Nigeria:
We've got to fulfill the Unity.
