BIAFRA, THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN


The Biafrans, Igbos, the South, the unifying units, the restructuring and now are a few words that unfold, there are hateful speeches on all sides, the Jewish rabbi Nnamdi Kanu was also mixed. And if I say that all this is the usual noise, I can only be naive, and if I say that it is a serious question, I should still be proved, otherwise I would have been considered naive.

But division, hatred, anguish, "we against them, they and us" are signs that are in the air. The arguments and debates surrounding the Yorubas are ready, or we do not allow them to go, and some say they will radiate the horizon.

However, let me follow this path to strengthen a previous model, and I believe very few have changed. One year there, the Native people of Biafra retained the lawyer Prof. Dr. Göran Sluiter to file a complaint against Nigerian President Buhari before the International Criminal Court. He was charged with filing a criminal complaint against Nigerian President Buhari before the International Criminal Court (ICC), on account of crimes against humanity.

In this period, very little has changed, it is always the same difference; In the traditional media, it is interesting that every day continues to provide new news, either on Biafra as a subject or affiliates, a case for those, and those against, interesting and naturally a fracture among the Igbos themselves, And some who ask that we all thread with caution.

The recent sit-at-home in most of the southeastern states has been successful, the agitations continue, whether forced or voluntarily, reluctantly it is necessary to agree there seems to be an enormous increase in follow-up Of the "cause".

A simple slip in history would show that what many think has begun while occasional security conflicts between a group of inactive minds may soon be treated with tact and diplomacy becomes another BH, and for many students Political history is so easy to see the trend compared to the Niger Delta militants, but this could prove to be worse in the sense that weapons may not be really used. 

The "struggle" of Biafra needs to manage and trust me, it can not be removed from the way it is treated, it can not be restless by the hands, current strong arm tactics will not work, by refusing that there is no follow-up, only Reminds one of the first members of Yusuf Mohammed.

And thinking that the whole drama is the symptom of an episodic disease called marginalization may be false. In the past, I have looked at the rebirth of Biafran as the history of youth today and the challenges reflected by Maduabuchi Dukor, philosophically speaking, "we recognize that the Southeast or Ndigbo is an emerging society, developing this question "identity" is not only omnibus, but also a logical challenge because you are an Igbo or you are not a in this sense, it is difficult for an Igbo to deny that he or she is an Igbo because it would be tantamount to a contradiction Identity does not resolve any contradiction in the logical sense of the concept.

What is the identity of today's Biafra that I dare ask? "Again, the fact that it is existential and encompasses a whole personality presupposes that it is defined by the history, culture, economy, politics and education of people, which logically again implies that the Challenges of youth empowerment at Ndigbo are the challenges of history, culture, economy, politics, leadership and education.

"In the above, the Biafra question was answered who are the Biafrans, where Biafra is it is a challenge of history, culture, economy, politics, leadership and education. Maduabuchi Dukor spoke further: "The issue of youth since the late Biafran and Nigerian war is an unfortunately historically necessary experience that has left Ndigbo as a stamp on both Nigeria, Africa and the world. 

Alienation, economic subjugation, discrimination, political marginalization and consequent psychological dislocation of Ndigbo by successive Nigerian governments until the dawn of the second republic are worse than the spread of colors in the United States now and before ".

In what Professor Mercy Anagbogu of the Orientation and Counseling Department, Nnamdi Azikwe University, Awka, Nigeria, captured in the metaphor of zero empowerment, the Igbo youth is "a black box", a state of psychological mentality, Tabula-rasa and Degeneration and moral, religious and educational economic alienation.

The historical phenomenon of the "black box", of eternity and of darkness is still among the young Ndigbo in this regime and this dispensation. Young people with zero empowerment have no place in Nigeria's political, economic and educational calculation and space.

This scenario has brought a sort of flux where nothing remains and a little the state of nature where wickedness, jealousy, confusion, disrespect and loss of Igbo and family values ​​become the other day.

 The consequences or indicative factors again are negative disposition, ritual organization of money, individualism and lack of enterprise, which are not conducive to the corporate, cultural and political existence of Ndigbo.

Unfortunately, the inability of Ndigbo's leaders to confront and overcome historical, existential, cultural, educational, political and economic challenges has led to the dispersal of Igbo youths in search of livelihoods in the Diaspora ... and One of the many reasons why the definition of Biafra is really difficult.

The Biafra of today can certainly not be the land of erosions, the lands of Rochas, the do of the double speak, and the land that elects a governor while he is in the maximum prisons of Kirikiri, the country where Everyone is a leader, but no direction and direction, envy By many, but not self-confident.

A land where his biggest enemy is himself, a country where his sons and daughters on the one hand are still marginalized, are in every corner, clouds and corners, Nigeria very well one People whose sons continue to happen well in Lagos Do not go and develop 'Alaigbo' but will groan "marginalization".

So the land needs men of goodwill, leadership that must make its way and stop playing third and fourth violins, leadership that is willing to write and teach their children their true story, teach their dialect, culture and values, not Continue to engage in revisionist tendencies. Although it is true that Nigeria needs genuine federalism to thrive, federative units also need leadership to do it well, and the sons and daughters of Ndi-Igbo are ready to take up the challenge: alone Time will tell.
