The west wanted colonialism gone, to hide their shame and look better in the eyes of the world they had created.
What did it matter what happened to the people in the colonies? Only that they couldn't in any way be responsible.

The Nigerian Southern Protectorate (Biafra) was honestly doing well for itself

Mainly due to the fact that the Igbos dominated those areas and made large contributions to its industry.

Then Nigeria unified and gained independence, then the Civil war happened, (((Allies))) backing Nigeria, Biafra lost

and things pretty much went downhill from there

I hear Nigeria is "good for africa", was Biafra on a much better path?

People say Nigeria is the "shining beacon" of Africa mainly due to the fact that it's wealth is from oil

Oil that mainly resides on Biafran land.

I was gonna say, most of the wealth seemed in what was Biafran land.

Whenever people think of "I know this one Nigerian guy, he's based"

They're more than likely talking about people of Biafran decent

Either brought over via the Atlantic slave trade, or immigrated to the US

Biafran master race?

In the world? No

In Africa? most likely

Well that's fair.
Wanna go form a Biafran empire?

>Empire

Nah it's a Republic

So was rome.

Biafrans aren't too Imperial

It was really just a merchant's trading nation, a short-lived but successful one

Trade economy's can be mighty fine.
I mean look at the UK.

Yeah exactly

Hence why Biafra could've been Africa's best country.

But yeah, Nigeria is pretty much divided, rest of the Nigerians want unity while it's mainly Biafrans that vote opposite of Nigeria's interest

The issue with multi-culturalism is that there's no way to make sure people will cooperate or integrate.
And then you just have an empire where the subjects can clog up the system.

Nigerian Election 2015: Red = Muslim/Hausas Green = Christian/Biafrans

Is it purely on religious lines or are there deeper issues at play?

Religious, Ethnic and Cultural.

I mean in politics.
What do the red and green politicians support?

Biafrans supported Jonathan who was part of the PDP, their main ideologies are Conservatism, Economic Liberalism (Neo Liberalism) and "Big Tent"

Northerners supported Buhari, of the APC, main ideologies are Social Conservatism, Islamic Law (Sharia), and "Big Tent"

Sounds like a partition/seperatism is probably the best option.
But I don't see nigeria allowing that.

Yeah, hence why they send Nigerian Military personnel to deal with Pro-Biafran advocates

However, Biafrans do recieve support from other countries, they look favourably on Putin, Trump, Israel and Brexit

And in return there are Biafrans living in the US, Europe, Eastern Asia and other places that organize groups to show support.

That's pretty cool.

Is there any real chance of Biafran independence?

Well one of the main nationalist movements, the IPOB have set up an organogram of how the Biafran government will function

Some other nationalist movements are encouraging and setting up local Biafran law enforcement, something similar to AntiCom

Interesting.
I suppose the Nigerian government will do whatever they can to disrupt this?
