Description

The Politics of Biafra is a reflection at the importance of history in addressing present realities and the future co-existence of Nigeria’s multi ethnic society. It analyzes the ideological struggles and conflict in Biafra right through the war with Nigeria from 1967-1970, the affect of the war and the relevance of those struggles to the present agitations for a new state of Biafra. On this historical and analytical work, the writer observes that nearly fifty years after the end of the Nigeria-Biafra war in 1970, Nigeria remains confronted with the Biafra predicament. Regardless of its pretensions, Nigeria will sooner or later have to reform its present pseudo federal arrangement to create a more inclusive, equitable and proper federal structure. If not, the country will continue to face epileptic developmental thrusts, militancy within the Niger Delta and a ruinous intensifying clamor for self-determination by disadvantaged ethnic groups, especially the Igbo. Appendix – Three part essay by Professor Chukwuma Soludo.
