Posterity, it could be rightly argued, has not really smiled on the Nigeria State regarding its treatment of the people of the defunct Biafran Republic four decades after the civil war. Rhetorically, reconciliation was promised. Bluntly, a seeming opposite was realized. The perturbing pseudo reconciliation and indices of enduring peace have in time past bred movements such as the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra and the Indigenous People of Biafra, in a gasp to either push for a genuine reconciliation or facilitate a peaceful breakaway from the Nigerian State. With data from primary and secondary sources, this work attempts to make meaning and image from dominant phraseology in the IPOB's lexicon. It argues that such line of phrases reflect more than they literally represent on the ideo-philosophical realms of the group posture and as well illuminate the level of virulence and grievance between the Igbo and other groups in Nigeria.
