The Biafra war problem in Nigeria🇳🇬

Good morning to you all my friends. My article today is all about the Biafra problem we are having today in Nigeria. This is otherwise called Nigeria civil war. It started in July 6,1967 and lasted till January 15,1970. It was estimated that the war had 200,000 military and civilian casualties from the Nigeria side and 1,000,000 military and civilian casualties in the Biafra side. It was a political conflict caused by the attempted secession of South eastern provinces of Nigeria as self proclaimed. Republic of Nigeria. The conflict was as a result of economic ethnic, cultural and religious tension among the various people's of Nigeria. In the coups and counter coups there were pogroms in the North where soldiers officers and civilian were killed. It was estimated that about 30,000 out of the 13 million people of Igbo region lost their lives. Northerners beheaded numerous Igbo civilian and left the headless corpses on trains to the east for the Igbo to see. This led to a large influx of refuges from the North, about 1.8 million refuges heading to the South east, the refusal of Gowon's government to stop the killing of Igbo civilian by fellow northerners led to increasing anti-Nigerian feelings on the part of the Igbos. Even more surprising was that some of this killings was organized by soldiers.

Owing to the above and other factors, the military governor of the Igbo dominated southeast, colonel Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu citing the northern massacress and electoral fraud, proclaimed with southern parliament the secession of the North eastern Region from Nigeria as a Republic of Biafra, an independent nation on 30 may, 1967.

Although the very young nation had a chronic Shortage of weapons to go to war, it was determined to defend herself. There was much sympathy in Europe and else where, yet only five countries organized the new republic. Following the direction the Nigeria government launched a police action and the war began on 6th July 1967. All things being equal after the fell of Biafra town of owerri on January and Uli on 11th January Odumegwu Ojukwu fled to exile to the republic of voted Ivoire leaving his deputy Philip Effiong to handle the details of the surrender to General Yakubu Gowon of the federal army on 15th January 1970. The war finally ended with that surrender.

Today again Nnamdi Kanu is in tittle to bring back the Biafra in Nigeria . Nnamdi Kanu is facing charges bordering on treasonable felony instituted against him in response to years of the campaign for the independence republic of Biafra. Nnamdi Kanu was arrested and in solidarity with it's detained, IPOB ordered a weekly sit at home exercise across the southern east States. Nigeria is now having sit at home every Monday and Nnamdi Kanu's family had also differed with IPOB on the matter, IPOB called off the order at the behest of Nnamdi Kanu.

But despite the cancellation, commercial activities were still grounded in South East on 5th September 2021. Nnamdi Kanu trial was adjourned till October 21,2021 after the July 26 hearing failed to hold. Everybody is praying for God's intervention in Nigeria. May God help us we Nigeria citizen's.
