The president in a recent statement affirmed that Nigeria will remain an indivisible entity.
Almost fifty years ago, the civil war which lasted more than two years shortened the lives of more than one million Nigerians, rendered children homeless and wives became widows before it ended. It took Nigerians several years to recover from the loss of the civil war.
Early last month, protesters numbering over 5000 took to the streets of Port Harcout chanting war songs, demanding for the creation of sovereign state of Biafra and the release of their leader, Kanu Nnamdi, who was arrested by the DSS weeks ago.
A Biafran activist said: “We want secession or we are ready to burn down the whole country. We will continue to disturb in all the Biafran states until justice is made to our demand for secession”
Boko Haram also started out as an insignificant group before spreading out to neighboring countries .Nigeria has been under the threat and attack of the Boko Haram terrorist group for more than five years and with military and international intervention, little has been done to curb their excesses, and now with the recent vigorous agitation and protest for Biafra nation across the country, will the president still be able to hold the nation together in one piece?
