		Biafra's brillian juxtaposition of mass-produced plastic food (Jello) with a famous 1970s African famine induced by Western imperialism (Biafra) ignited political debate at a time when the populace had been burnt-out by scandals.
		During the early 1990s, Biafra continued his vigilant campaigns, highlighting the corporate predators and mercantile capitalist mechanisms that cause pandemic crime-poverty cycles, and the resulting inward-focused censorship and free-speech suppressions which are clothed in 'family values' or 'community standards' rhetoric.
		But Biafra's high profile has had its drawbacks: he and the Alternative Tentacles record label have been accused of deserting their DIY roots and punk ethos, desiring more mainstream credibility.

		He does not seem to get the fact behind the Biafra war or understand the bond between the Igboman and his 'Land of the Rising sun.' He failed to reckon that defending Igboland was a choice that many men of fighting age made.
		Biafra did not lose the war because Nigerian forces fought better, but because we fought a combined Anglo-Soviet equipped, Egyptian-assisted force, and a near universal acquiescence to the starvation of our people.
		Therefore, anyone ascribing Biafra's collapse to some untold gallantry (personal or collective) by Yoruba colonels, hausa or Fulani soldiers either fought a different war or wallow in a delusion of serious kind.

		In the hospitals and mortuaries of Biafra, the causes of starvation and death are inscribed in the victims’ records officially ‘The Wilson Syndrome’.
		The demands of General Gowon’s Federal Nigerian government are for the total surrender of Biafra and the total re-organisation of the whole of Nigeria into 12 states one of which would be a truncated ‘Iboland’ without access to the sea.
		If this were so, the recognition of Biafra by Tanzania and Zambia, who (especially the former) are vigorous opponents of white imperialism in Africa, would be very surprising.
