Abstract
ABSTRACTDrawing on Biafra as the most critical project in Igbo nationalism in Nigeria, this article examines the interpretations and appropriations of the Nigeria-Biafra War. It focuses on the meaning and significance of the war, and how contemporary neo-Biafran movements have appropriated and transformed the Biafran project into a basis for political action in their bid to resuscitate Igbo ambitions for self-determination. The article expatiates on the deployment of Biafra as a symbolic marker that captures the realization of an authentic Igbo national spirit, the ultimate act of Igbo self-determination and quest for nationhood in the Nigerian state.
