Biafra: Facing Down Nigeria's Ghosts by Naijiant(op): 1:18am On Dec 21, 2015
The memory of Biafra, like the memory of the brutality that brought the country into being and the conflict that followed, has become a ghost haunting our country’s pretenses of national unity. From the opinions written today in daily newspapers to the vitriolic comments made by traditional rulers from some ethnic groups, it is clear that many Nigerians still hold ethnic allegiances ahead of any unified nationalism.

Nigeria’s refusal to acknowledge the most divisive part of its history is why the same fears and rivalries that created the climate for the war still fester today. There is a very real risk of history repeating itself.

It is Obvious you did not understand what is written up there.


@post, Op you are on point. If we don't acknowledge those issues that disunite us, achieving a truly United Nigeria will only remain a dream.

Those divisive part of our existence were tagged "No-go-area" during the 2014 national conference. That was one of the conditions before the conference was convened.

How can we working to improve on our strength without acknowledging our weaknesses.
