Recently, there has been a renewed struggle for the Republic of Biafra by members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Nigeria and outside the country. Nearly 55years after the Biafran War (July 6, 1967 – January 15, 1970) which almost destroyed the unity of Nigeria, its agitators have refused to give up the struggle due to the continued marginalisation and ill treatments meted out on the people of Biafra.
