What/who is Biafra?!

        What i think? I Think Biafra is the love child of frustration and hope, a need to not be inconsequential  any longer. I think Biafra was birthed to solidify a hope in an identity so strong that whilst we would forever  mourn the lives of our sisters and brothers lost to the "Nigerians" we would have the strength to forge on. Who are the Nigerians? Am i not a Nigerian? Haha. There have been agitations nationwide for the secession of Nigeria, for the re-creation of Biafra, but do we really understand what/who Biafra is? A half of a yellow sun signifying the emergence of a new dawn, a clear morning for renewed strength to pick up from sisters and brothers cut in their prime from enemy bullets. Biafra is a nation founded on a need to satiate placeless minds, to foster a sense of belonging; but then i ask myself is this "sense of belonging' ethnocentricity  in disguise?". Is Biafra a child born of the need to dominate and exclude or a need to own and belong? If nothing else is sure the sentence 'Biafra was conceived on the lost souls of our people ruthlessly massacred in the north in the early 60's" is. By our doing one way or the other we lost Biafra before we got her, if we are to create a living, thriving Biafra we must swear to take care of her like we would anything dear to us. we would lead to serve, not loot, ptotect not harm.
