GOOD WORK.AND ONE DAY THE OJUKWU PROPHESY WILL COME TO PASS.
“As I have said before, and I repeat, the war we are fighting is an imperialist war, waged by Britain and Russia in an unholy alliance and with the tacit acquiescence of the United States, and fought by proxy.”

“I see Biafra as a bastion of the free in an age in which freedom and self-determination are conditioned by the color of the skin. I would go further to say that for the acceptance of the black race, there must be a Biafra. If this Biafra is stifled, then perhaps in the future another will emerge.”

– Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu (Radio Biafra broadcasts; November/December; 1968)

Hi All:

I am specifically interested in the specific provenance and/or exact date of the Biafran folk art piece that you include in your website. Is this piece attributed to a specific individual? Where might I find more information about the artist?

Thanks,

Well written! In all my years of listening to different versions of this story of the Biafran/Nigerian civil war, i’ve just seen one piece that looks very analytically coherent to a large extent. But one thing that borders my mind about this write-up is that there was no mention of the actual catalyst that precipitated that war; such as the 1966 or 1967 ethnic genocide carried out by the North against the people of the East of the Niger, who resided in the Northern part of the country. The Western world especially the Britain & United states, i guess were only being irrational/cunning/greedy/selfish and self serving when they decided to kill the vision of a people who are self-determined to survive, and to contribute to the development of the world’s socio-economic and political landscape through the use of their God given intellects. “Let it be known to the world that by denying the survival of that rising sun of yesterday, the western world have actually retarded the warmth of full sun of tomorrow for the African continent”…

Will, an excellent article. I had an Igbo friend from Port Harcourt; he had no love for the Nigerians. At the same time, it’s obvious why Nigeria wanted to keep Biafra, even at the cost of war. Oil was even then essential. Today, who got the aid would depend on who promised the oil companies more.
