So when I first heard about the Biafra saga I thought 'this has got be a joke'. We are finally at the stage where the world is taking us seriously, Nigerians finally have faith in their government, it finally looks like we are on our way to achieving our true potential, everything is falling into place and then this nonsense. I thought it would fizzle out in a few weeks but months down the line and it's still going on.This dude from nowhere comes to start rocking the boat because Goodluck lost in a free and fair election? There is no justification for this now other than the fact that Nnamdi Kanu, like many other noise makers before him, believes that if he rocks the boat hard enough the government will pay him off to shut him up. This in my opinion is not that different to terrorism. Because they are creating chaos, tension and confusion, disrupting the economy and people are loosing their lives as a result. If he wants his own country so badly then he should his current supporters, find a plot of land somewhere and name is Biafra.
Also perhaps it's about time the story of Biafra is incorporated into our school curriculum so that the coming generation know the truth and it doesn't seem like the government is hiding something.
