In this essay we will take time to clarify some areas that seem
to confuse some people in the on-going Biafra separatist movement in Nigeria Biafra has undergone some transformations. These changes
seem to have created a sort of mixed messages in the minds of both observers
and participants. So, at this point it is really important that we try to
clarify some of the seemingly ambiguous aspects of the movement.
It is a fact that for some of the participants, those involved in
the struggle, many are finding it difficult to come to terms and accept the
obvious realities of these changes when they seem to go against some of their
assumed or preconceived notions of what the struggle should be about. This is
understandable. But in spite of the genuine appreciation of the position of
these colleagues it will be foolish if we should ignore the prevailing obvious
new realities and facts as they concern the movement. We can only ask that such
individuals will be humble enough to find the sincerity and courage to
acknowledge these truths and incontestable facts when they are revealed to them.
