520			_aABSTRACT The Indigenous People of Biafra, popularly referred to by their acronym, IPOB, have for decades suffered marginalization in the hands of the Nigerian government. Their cry for justice began few years after the country’s independence in 1960 and led to a full-blown war that is regarded as one of the bloodiest civil wars in African history. Even though they were reintegrated into the country after the war, the Igbos have been treated as second tier citizens and have faced deprivation in several sectors of the country, especially in politics and governance. Hence, the reignition of their agitation in 2015. In another case, the neighboring people of Southern Cameroon have struggled to preserve their cultural heritage after years of seeking autonomy and self-governance from the French dominated Republic of Cameroon. This study employed qualitative measures to assess the struggles of IPOB and the Anglophone Cameroons to understand the reasons for the secessionist clamors and the factors responsible for the lack of actualization of their dream. Among other reasons, we observed that internal crisis, strong opposition from the ruling political class, and lack of support for their ideology from the international community hindered the progress of these movements. Furthermore, the study also observed that the lack of a defining stance during conflict and the ambiguity of the OAU Charter limited the organization’s effort and ability to effectively intervene in the internal crisis of its member countries. Keywords: Anglophone problem, Biafra, IPOB, Secession, Self-determination, Separatist
