".
Could you please tell me where this "unbiased objectivity" is living? It will be a wonderful thing to make its acquaintance.

Dear Toyin
You say you want to be a serious academic Biafranist. This will require unbiased objectivity on your part. To begin with, you will have to locate, identify and be honest about the lens through which you are coming to study Biafra, understand your own personal story or personal relationship in the context of Biafra, and thoroughly study relevant matters pertaining to Biafra from all perspectives or all sides. Anything otherwise would be biased. You would also need to examine the post war period up to at least 1979 when the Abandoned Properties Act was approved.

In that case, I would concentrate on three periods:(1) ante-bellum: 1965, 1966 (what immediately led to the war)(2) bellum: 1967, 1968 (how the war was fought)(3) post-bellum: 1969, 1970 (the war was practically over in early 1969; its immediate aftermath began then)The rest is really commentary.And there you have it.Bolaji AlukoOn Mon, Oct 29, 2012 at 6:15 PM, OLUWATOYIN ADEPOJU <toyinvincentadepoju@gmail.com> wrote:
