Introduction
Recently, there came to be an upsurge on the demand by the Igbos for a sovereign nation. It is not like this call for the Republic of Biafra is new, it has been there since the 1960s and even culminated into the civil way which lasted for three years. Many Igbos have pitched tenth with certain factions of the divide, what I would like to call ‘ndi kwe na ndi ekweghi’; that is those who believe in the indissolubility of Nigeria and those who are die hard supporters of the Biafran cause. There is still a third group, the disinterested observers who are keen on leaving their lives much like the stoics and who would naturally fit in to any side when the need for that arises.
