While speaking on an interveiw with Al Jazeera Yesterday, Nobel Laureate, Professor, Wole Soyinka, clearly explained his support for Biafran agitators. His words: “I am very much pro- Biafra because I
recognise that the Igbo have been wronged desperately.
They have been brutalised in a way that justifies their feeling that they were not part of the nation. Let me also say this, Biafrans are not entirely innocent in this affair.
They were not, but the unleashing of such venom, such devastation on them as a people, was sufficient to justify their decision not to be part of the nation. I was pro-Biafran in the sense that I felt that they needed justice.”
