		Make no mistake about it, I am not under any obligation to defend anybody, but my candid opinion is predicated on the reality, as a writer with a social responsibility to react to developments affecting him in his society.
		Thus, whether the cry of Igbo marginalisatoin emanated from Ikemba Nnewi or any other disaffected Biafrian soldier, the truth of the matter is that they are not merely crying wolf when there is none.
		Frankly speaking, I cannot say specifically that President Obasanjo hates Igbos, but the reality on the ground in Igbo land, five years after he ascended Aso Rock, is indicative that the Easterners are merely subsisting on crumbs falling from the national cake.

		I hope Nigerian politicians understand that and are willing to apply that in their everyday lives.
		And if other Nigeria tribes do not have confidence in Igboman leading them or if they think Igboman, once given a presidential chance, will actualization the Biafrian dream, then I will say that Nigeria is not for all Nigerians.
		Even though I do not support any war in any form or fashion, I find it very hard to believe that a well educated Igbo man like you will publicly disown your fallen Biafrian men and women, who lost their lives in the war for selfish political gain.

		The Mission proposes, in effect, four steps for the U.S. to take: 1) to play a more active role as a mediator in the negotiations leading to a cease fire and expanded relief.
		However, he did observe that "arriving at some sort of accommodation is made easier by the fact that about four African states have recognized Biafra and France has made gestures that have enhanced Biafra's dignity as a nation." He added that the Biafrians' situation was similar to the Isrealis.
		Both countries are heavily intellectual groups set upon by less educated peoples who have superior numbers.

	The Policy of Containment in the East
		Friction took a Quantum leap at the PDP national convention in 1999 and 2003 where sons and daughters of Jacob [Ibos] sold their brother Joseph [Ekwueme] into slavery for reasons best known to them.

		But before the first PDP convention, there had already been cracks in Iboland that appeared way back in ’79.

	Nigeria - IS BIAFRA ALIVE, DEAD OR ON LIFE SUPPORT?
		Within weeks, southeastern Nigeria was quickly transformed into a killing field and a theater for playing out complex intrigues in which global powers took special interest for obvious reasons.
		Whatever development that existed in major population centers of the secessionist Biafrian territory was systematically destroyed, more than half of the population became refugees while millions died of disease, starvation and overwhelming firepower from air, land and sea.
		The carnage ended abruptly in January 1970 when the military backbone of the Biafran resistance was broken by the more numerous and better supplied federal forces.

		Achebe's goal, which he fully accepts, is to help us reclaim our stories, to help us to understand that our history was rich, and our stories beautiful before our subjugation at the hands of Europe.
		Though he was speaking about Nigeria after the Biafrian War, I think that statement strikes a deep cord in the consciousness of Afrikans and Afrikan Americans alike.
		In order to accept our selves and our beauty, we must also be able to accept our scars.

		Could you extend on the notion of dealing with memory and the nostalgia for a lost past in your work?
		This is essentially coming from my being raised in America after my family fled Nigeria before the start of the Biafrian War.

		Neither the Biafrian War or the ISM (International Solidarity Movement) have anything to do with jihad.
		The Biafran War was a civil war, and a tribal war.
		In ISM and in the Nigerian Civil War there may be/have been some Muslims around but that doesn't make for a jihad.

	Chippla's Weblog - Thoughts on Issues: The Biafra Conundrum
		The funny thing is that I'm not sure anyone has really done a SWOT analysis of having a Biafrian nation.
		If it was an issue involving white and fl, we'll call it racism but I think in this case the problem we have is 'selfishness'.
		I was just thinking Biafrian nation is not the only threat to Nigeria.

		In addition, the ability to manipulate words to evoke contrasting emotions appears to be the only twinkles of light in these otherwise very dark litanies of sorrow.
		employs visual language to portray the gruesome images; "/dismembered penis floating across parted lips/ booted feet growing out of a woman's breast/." The use of the genitalia reinforces the tone of sexual violence inflicted on the Biafrian psyche.
		As monstrous as these pictures look, the persona in the poem does acknowledge the "/grotesque tailed egg broken furred in redseadeath/." These lines run with such an urgency that the severe messages they convey are rendered with the complexity of their meaning.

		In this Civil War, food became a valid weapon as the Nigerian government starved out and caused the deaths of millions of innocent civilians.
		In addition, the massacres of captured Ibo civilians and soldiers is a damning indictment of genocide against the Nigerian government (composed of Northern Nigerian Muslim tribesmen) fronted by Colonel Gowon.
		One realizes he is for the Biafrian government, and the book is structured toward proving the Nigerian government is evil and the Biafrians are good.

		The statement was, however, silent on the allegation of the All-progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) presidential candidate that the plan was to kill him.
		The defunct Biafrian leader said he refused to honour the invitation because "it has come to my notice that the government has detailed people from the Directoriate of Military Intelligence (DMI) to assassinate the leader of MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike and myself."
