Political Theory

Political Theory concepts are anchored on many indices which determine political activities the world over. On such concepts is based is the ideology of zoning.Of course the idea of zoning is predicated on the multiplicity of ethnic groups that constitute the human environment. This again is consonance with Federal system of government that is most suitable a nation that is made up of many ethnic groups or races. And this is aimed at giving everybody an equal opportunity to participate in the governance of that state. Democracy as we have the legacy from the Greeks is government of the people by the people and for the people. Based on the above premise zoning becomes the best option for pushing tentacles of government to reach every section of the state or nation. To the major ethnic group in any political situation, zoning may not go down well because of the nature of human beings who believe in the winner takes all. But being fair to all means that political offices be so distributed so as to accommodate all.The principle of democracy espouses this ideology for the good and improvement of man. It is this principle that has been fostering the needed unity in different parts of the world including Nigeria

The Biafra Aftermath

The quest to realize the Republic of Biafra has come a long way. The primary reason for that quest is to maintain peaceful coexistence with our Nigerian neighbours. And the misunderstanding of the actual reasonms for that quest led to the thirty .month civil war with its attendant bloodshed,the aim of which on the Nigerian side is to end the the Biafran dream. Unfortunately the conditions that triggered off the Nigerian Civil war is still with us today even attracting International attention.The level of terrorism in Nigeria today is nauseating and has negated whatever good intentions those who frustrated the Biafran cause might have. It is an irony of history that what the Igbo people wanted to prevent some 43 years ago by declaring their own independent state was still happening today in Nigeria and that with reckless abandon. In the court of moral justice are all the people who vehemently opposed the Biafran Idependence only to witness the level of terrrorism unknown in Nigeria of the sixties. Be that as it may peaceful coexistence is what we preach after the demise of Biafra some 43 years but that peace has remained elusive because those who are bent on terror do not want to hear. But we are begging them to lay down their arms becauise the nation cannot make any meaningful growth without peace. And moreover foreign investors cannot come here to establish their industries and companies in an atmosphere charged with terrorist activities. We therefore enjoin all gadiators and perpetrators of this evil called terrrorism to sheathe their swords because Nigeria as a nation has come to be .And it will not pay any body any good dividend to continue to destabilse the nation through terrorist activities. In summary we want to state categorically that Biafra fought a just cause to end man's inhumanity to man.But the world so Biafra then as not doing the right thing and hence the encpsulation of Biafra by their unbridled support to the Nigeria side of the conflict.And the peace Biafra has wanted to maintain by embarking on that conflict was thwarted by Nigeria and her supporters.Therefore peace remains elusive in the country many years after the civil war.
