I will always maintain that some Elders in Biafra land have to be the most illiterate people in the world and it rings more true for people who are supposedly seen as educated people like the former governor of Akwa Ibom State Obong Victor Atah whom last week I read his objection against the statement made by the president Muhammadu Buhari that Nigerian unity is not negotiable, which I applauded him on his response to President Buhari that the unity of Nigeria is negotiable but, a few days later I also read on Vanguard newspaper same man blabbing and saying Biafra is for the Igbo Biafrans alone. I began to ask my self-critical questions about this statement coming from the man I respected so much, and the question is: does Obong Victor Atah lack full knowledge and history about the Biafra civil war? Secondly, does Obong Victor Atah know who is called General Philip Effiong, the Biafran second in command to General Odimegwu Ojukwu who happen to come from the same state Akwa Ibom? With due respect Sir, Biafra is not Igbo, but Igbo is one of the tribes that makes up Biafra. In case you forget the history, His Royal Highness Chief Frank Opigo Dawai 111, Amananaowei of Angiama, an elder statesman, politician, educationist, a philanthropist and graduate in 1953 became the administrator of Yenegoa Province of Biafra and the commissioner for rural development in 1967.
