Biafra will only rise again when the state of Nigeria has been stressed to the point where regional factions develop such as Yoruba, Northern Muslim and Christian Igbo. I belive in the Jos area, there's fighting amongst Muslims and Christians over the election of a Muslim candidate in a heavily Christian state. Muslims are viewed as settlers to the native Christian inhabitants. Finally, the oil wars will be a long-running insurgency for years to come

Crazy: Will Biafra rise again? Also, can you give us some inside information on the current problems in the Jos area, as well as an update on the oil wars?

I agree. NEVER believe anyone from that country who asks you to send them money there! I cannot advise that to people enough

that's a fair point. Poor Nigeria. I wish all the peoples in that nation may find future success

wrt Igbo I was thinking more from the viewpoint of religion, rather than wealth.

I am an Igbo myself and I think it'd be just as corrupt as Nigeria. If Europeans just carved out an Igbo state, it'd be corrupt. If the Igbos created a state themselves, it'd be less corrupt but at least politically unified

Thanks, that is what I am trying to say. Pity when they carved up the colonies they didn't give the Igbo their own country.

some Nigerian cultures like the Igbo value the accumulation of wealth however, corruption, tribalism, religion and other factors weaken Nigeria

1 word CORRUPTION!!!!!!!!! Nigeria is the best in the world at it! starts at the top all the way down to the boy on the steet, until you sort out that you have no future!

Sure, I know most people don't get it. That is why people poured money in to Africa and are surprised that they didn't get wealthier. Or Africans are surprised that when the Europeans dumped their African colonies and went home that they got poorer when people stopped exploiting them. The wealth comes from the political/legal/social/business structures that were developed over the last two hundred years.

no that is wrong, many countries that follow the western society are very poor
