Kissinger's description aptly portrays the Christian Igbos and their experience in Nigeria. Over the years, the Igbos have been the victims of numerous massacres, that they have lost count. Most of the violence directed against the Igbos have been state sponsored. One can say that the Igbos knew how to spell “state sponsored terrorism” before the rest of the world did. The state sponsored terrorism directed against the Igbos in 1966, led to the declaration of the Republic of Biafra by the Igbos and subsequent civil war. Over two million Igb...

THE SUCCESS AND FAILURE OF DEMOCRACY IN NIGERIA “ Democracy is the government of the people by the people and for the people” Nigeria was liberated from British colonial rule in 1960.

In the prevailing circumstances after Independence, a sound and farsighted constitutional basis seemed to have been laid, and our founding fathers were able to inspire in Nigerians a sense of national awareness by speaking collectively of the possibility of a great nation where ethnic pluralism and cultural diversity would constitute a source of strength rather than weakness. It was also expected that the federal plan would liberate the potentials of the constituent uni...
