摘要

From all indications Ojukwu's Ahiara Declaration (1969) was created as a visionary document given its proto-revolutionary and socialist pretensions. Possibly, the idea was to use it as a utopia to fire the imagination of beleaguered Biafrans and thus sustain their perseverance to ultimate victory in the Nigerian civil war. This paper contends that rather than achieve this apparently intended aim, the Declaration became a table-turning argument that produced the unintended effect of demoralising a critical segment of the population, that is, the elite, by inducing a despondent mass psychological state that hastened, among other factors, the Biafran loss of the war. This is so because the unstated aim of the Declaration appears to be the exculpation of the leader and the leadership of blame for either initiating or badly prosecuting a calamitous war. Hence the juggling of essential words and phrases that could initiate critical debate on the war and the deployment of essentialist, human-rights and religion-based arguments in a bid to create a persecution complex in the people who, in consequence, would then see themselves as victims of a global conspiracy rather than their own misadventure.View full textDownload full textKeywordsOjukwu, Ahiara Declaration , war, rhetoric, elite, socialist; kairos Related var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/14725843.2011.530449
