The Biafra crisis in Nigeria can be linked with which wider question of state building?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The question of colonial borders, ethnic identity, oil resources, and federal balance

The Biafra crisis (1967–70) arose from a secessionist attempt in Nigeria’s Eastern Region. It involved colonial-era boundaries, Igbo identity, control over oil-rich areas, and the distribution of power between the federal government and regions. Therefore, option A best captures the wider state-building challenge. Military modernisation or administrative centralisation alone cannot explain this multi-dimensional conflict. Exam tip: Remember Biafra as a combined case of identity, resources, and federalism.
