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.
