what are the possibilities of cessation of southern Nigeria from the Nigerian state in the light of brexit and neo nationalist global politics?
Not to undermine the political agitation of modern day neo-Biafra struggle, i personally believe a civil war is unlikely, not that it might not occur but in a democratic system, although Nigeria, as a nation state democratic system is still developing which lacks the capability and capacity of a highly developed democratic institutions but however, democracy comes with lots of diplomacy, debate and free will to criticize the government. So therefore, it be more of mere agitation, struggle to bring Nigeria to negotiating table of Biafra, to be treated more fairly, and possible produce next President or Vice President of Nigeria to calm them down. The Civil War in 1967 was made possible, easily because it was under military regime, which view all oppositions as a direct threat but in a democratic system oppositions are necessary evil, although one might argue with them but they have to be allowed to voice their frustration, and in some cases won over by making policies compatible with them.
Just my opinion, not seen any research yet in this area, it be great if you do your research, so one can read. Thanks.
Many thanks, Daniel for the helpful insights, but the problem here is the difficulty the allege to have in voicing their agitation and the violent approaches by the Nigerian security forces(as documented by Amnesty International) at dissuading the neo-Biafran groups
Alright i understand the point which you taking your argument, that why i would like to read your research project once you done but i still believe a more peaceful stand would lead to a lasting solution, like granting the Biafra's president or vice-president position, just like it was done to Niger Delta. And they became more silent.
Daniel, Exactly.Thank you so very much for your enlightening analysis
