it is a good thing when history is not forgotten.
now , the question is what do we do withat history and what lessons have we learned from that history? i am a nigerian with a mixed heritage between yoruba and benin. i cannot imagine myself beng an igbo and the suffering i would suffered in that period of unrest in nigerian history. and i think that yoruba and igbos should formed a unit against the hausas...in the north.
but, having said that ...i don't think that any country would have allowed part of her country to break-away peacefully..no matter how noble the cause. if there was a biafran- republic, which would include the people from delta region, and remember the delta has the largest oil reserve in nigeria. do you think the igbos would allow them to break away peacefully..if they decide to do so for whatever reason?
