After the Nigerian Civil War, Why is the State Allergic to the Name Biafra?

Click banner for more info

The month of May marks the anniversary of the declaration of independence by Eastern Nigerians from Nigeria, and called their new born nation, Biafra.

Easterners did so following the obvious state-sponsored murder of the people of the East, as they were all branded Igbo: Ijaw, Ibibio, Efik, Ogoja, others. By the count of that period, the population of Nigeria was 60 million and 50,000 Igbo were killed in cold blood.

For those who were alive at this time, it was blood-chilling, inhuman, barbaric, reprobate and harrowing, never to be forgotten period in the life of this fumbling and wobbling country still held together not by common good and mutual love but by a strange and uncommon phenomenon, nameless, but akin to uncivilization. Also unforgettable because it marks the beginning of a shadow Nigeria.

While after Boston Marathon attacks Russian and US intelligence services agreed to cooperate in the spheres of international security and counterterrorism, Tuesday detention of CIA agent Ryan C Fogle, who was sent to Moscow to recruit Russian citizens, seems to prove the contrary: The US is not yet ready to cooperate with Russia.  On April 27 Russia’s President Vladimir Putin said in an interview to the Russian media that Russian special services are already assisting their US counterparts in probing the deadly Boston attacks.

 Interrogation transcript
 "We invited you here for a routine formality that follows the detention by the Federal Security Service (FSB) of people who committed some crime. The case in point is that at 11:30 p.m., this man calling himself a U.S. diplomat phoned an employee and offered him to spy for the United States.
The employee is a trained staff officer engaged in counterterrorist activities in the North Caucasus. After the first call, he rejected the offer. But the man phoned again and insisted that they should meet. He offered him money – 100,000 euro – for espionage. At first, we didn’t believe that this thing could happen. You know well that the FSB is actively assisting in the investigation of the Boston bombings and providing other information that threatens U.S. national security.
