Failure is instructive; the people who really think, learn quite as much from their failures as from their successes. Nigerian government has turned deaf ears to these facts and have decide to even make more mistakes than correction because their system is that of 'give and take' which leads to god fatherism among the so called politicians. 

Wole Soyinka has advised the federal government of Nigeria to allow Biafra to go if they insist on going, saying that what he as a professor sees is too deadly if Nigeria do not allow these Biafrans to leave. Soyinka witnessed what happened in 1967-1970 when Nigeria and her numerous supporters invaded the unprepared Biafra with the aim to crush the entire Biafra in not more than three months, but to their greatest surprise the war lasted as long as three solid years. Sonyinka as an educated man has advised the country to let the Biafrans leave in peace to avoid what will befall Nigeria should Biafra decide to seek their freedom by violence.

Soyinka said that the unity of Nigeria is negotiable, that any group that is not comfortable with being in Nigeria can seek for its self determination as to allow nature have its way. He who wears the shoe knows where it pinches him. Biafra should be allowed to go. Biafra is our home and we the indigenous people of Biafra led by mazi Nnamdi Kanu are ready to go and I believe that Soyinka has seen the seriousness in us. 

Biafra has come to stay.
