The first sentence on which I presuppose the whole edifice is built, sticks in the eye : re - "But is not Biafra the way you characterized it recently in this forum in your debate with IBK more like a blood ancestral movement bound together by language and culture and we live in a globalized cosmopolitan society as you acknowledged just now?"
Even globally speaking, I hope that you and Samuel don't regard Biafra as merely " a tiny enclave" , even if you may regard the Brexit secessionist British Isles or Merry England as a "tiny enclave". With regard to Biafra or any other "tiny" entity ( relatively speaking – relative to the poetic cosmos ) as my mother used to tell me , " despise not the day of little things"
Thinking of what some people refer to as another "tiny enclave" ( Israel) " a blood ancestral movement bound together by language and culture" and her role in history, even if Hebrew is not as widely spoken despite the world outreach of Christianity and Islam which acknowledge and lay claims to the role of the Holy Hebrew Language Prophets
This was published yesterday : The Palestinians and Their Allies Should Know the Truth About the Nazis
(1)One important issue the advocates of "mother tongue" do not address is the relevance of a "mother tongue" spoken only in a very tiny enclave in this era of globalization.(2)The majority dwells in frivolities, that is why the minority rules.(c) Chidi Anthony Opara#2018Quotes
