It seek to elicit the respondents’ views and feelings about the historical hexagram star of David in the Biafra flag.</p><h2>FINDINGS</h2><p>From the findings of the study, it was revealed that the hexagram star of David is of great importance in tracing the historical roots of Biafra, and Igbo culture. The study also discovered that nation like Israel which shares the hexagram star in their flag will support Biafra restoration.</p><h2>CONCLUSION</h2><p>The study concluded that although it is true that we increasingly become “global citizens,” we also continue to draw upon our national identity to understand ourselves. As new countries continue to be created, including recent addition of an emerging Biafra state, the importance of national symbols in forging national identity should not be discounted. While globalism increases due to technology, economics, and politics, national symbols remain powerful tools in maintaining nation’s corporate identity and historical antecedent . Because people are social creatures who desire a sense of belonging, the nation remains an important basis for identity worldwide.</p><h2>RECOMMENDATIONS</h2><p>The study among others recommend that the modified Biafra flag should be emphatically redesigned with latest 3D technology capable of displaying the star of David in its full form.It also recommends that adequate sensitization should be carried out to educate people on the true reflections of the hexagram star.</p> <br><p></p>
