Biafra claims that guitarist East Bay Ray had long expressed displeasure with Alternative Tentacles and with the amount of money he received from them, thus the original incentive for the discovery of the back payments.

East Bay Ray claims he received a fax from Alternative Tentacles purporting Biafra approved the licensing for the game, which Biafra denies happening.

However, Biafra claims the above mentioned licensing deals prove otherwise.

East Bay Ray claims that he has never been consciously influenced by surf music, and attributes the recognizable elements of surf in the Kennedys music to " having grown up in California ," although it could certainly be the influence of Klaus Flouride or Jello Biafra.

Ray authorized and had a production credit for a CD of live Dead Kennedys recordings, Mutiny on the Bay, which Biafra claims is of poor quality.

Biafra claims that he was attacked by a man nicknamed Cretin, who crashed into him while bringing the mosh.

Many volunteer bodies organised blockade-breaking relief flights into Biafra, carrying food, medicines, and sometimes ( according to some claims ) weapons.

Semi-facetiously, Biafra claims that this " new " Dead Kennedys lineup could start a precedent where other former child stars take the place of original lead vocalists in classic punk bands, hypothesizing that Frankie Muniz would front The Misfits, Black Flag's new frontman would be Gary Coleman, and that The Germs would return with Emmanuel Lewis substituting for Darby Crash ( The Germs recently reunited with actor Shane West, who portrays Crash in What We Do Is Secret, as lead singer ).

The band continued to work on songs, with Biafra penning songs such as " Chickenshit Conformist " and " Anarchy for Sale ", which articulated their feelings about the " dumbing down " of punk rock.

The jury and judges also noted, in their words, that Biafra “ lacked credibility ” on the songwriting issue and found from evidence presented by both sides that the songwriting credits were due to the entire band, using a clause in the band's written partnership giving a small share of every Dead Kennedys song royalty directly to the band partnership.

Biafra told an audience at a speaking gig in Trenton, New Jersey, that the remaining Dead Kennedys have licensed their single " Too Drunk to Fuck " to be used in a rape scene in a Robert Rodriguez movie.

The band has released two live albums of archival performances on Manifesto Records: Mutiny on the Bay, compiled from various live shows including a recording from their last show with Biafra in 1986, and Live at the Deaf Club, a recording of a 1979 performance at the Deaf Club in San Francisco which was greeted with more enthusiasm.

From 1999 to the present day, the indigenous people of Biafra have been agitating for independence to revive their ancient country.

In addition, they have revived the Radio Biafra as a powerful media tool to educate their people.

He submitted that what Biafra lost after the war was its sovereignty and not its people and therefore the remnants who were not consumed by the war are still protected under the law to exercise their right to self-determination as indigenous people of Biafra.

In their book, Smallpox and its Eradication, Fenner and colleagues describe how vaccine supply shortages during the Biafra smallpox campaign led to the development of the focal vaccination technique, later adopted worldwide by the World Health Organization, which led to the early and cost effective interruption of smallpox transmission in west Africa and elsewhere.

In fact, by the time recording began, they had already played what would be their last live concert with Jello Biafra and announced their breakup immediately after the record's release.

However, earlier in their career, Biafra, along with the other band members, approved the use of Dead Kennedys ' songs in the major film corporation releases Neighbors, 1981 and Class, 1983, and fairly recently, Biafra himself approved the license to Tony Hawk's video game ( May 5, 1999 Fax from Uli Elser, previous manager of Alternative Tentacles ).

This sometimes resulted in their near-disintegration, such as the attempt by Biafra to secede from Nigeria in 1970, or the continuing demand of the Somali people in the Ogaden region of Ethiopia for complete independence.

According to Biafra, the suit was a result of his refusal to allow " Holiday in Cambodia " to be used in a commercial for Levi's Dockers ; Biafra opposes Levi's due to what he believes are their unfair business practices and sweatshop labor.

He had the planes painted in camouflage colours, fitted with rockets from Matra and proceeded with a band of friends to form a squadron called ' Babies of Biafra ' to strike the air fields from which the federal Nigerian Air Force launched their attacks against the civilian population in Biafra.

Biafra was declared because of Eastern Nigerian sentiment to separate from Nigeria after their members were involved in a series of ethnic clashes with other ethnic groups in other parts of the country.

As war broke out between Biafra and Nigeria ( 1967 — 1970 ), thousands of Igbo migrants in the northern and western parts of Nigeria fled to their native east and Enugu became a destination for these returnees.

Metal Urbain recorded in 2006 their first studio album J ' irai chier dans ton vomi produced by Jello Biafra in San Francisco, a follow up mini-album Crève Salope was issued in 2008.

In 2001, the band reformed without Biafra, who had been in a legal dispute with the remaining members over royalties.

Around the same time, East Bay Ray had tried to pressure the rest of the band to sign to the major record label Polydor Records ; Biafra stated that he was prepared to leave the group if the rest of the band wanted to sign to the label, though East Bay Ray asserts that he recommended against signing with Polydor.

Former band members claimed that Jello Biafra had conspired to pay lower royalty rates to the band members.

Both sides claim they attempted to resolve the matter without legal action, but the ultimately complicated legal dispute ( involving royalties, publishing rights, and a number of other issues ) soon led to the courts, where Biafra was found liable for the royalties after the jury determined that he had committed fraud and malice, and was ordered to pay damages of nearly $ 200, 000, including $ 20, 000 in punitive damages, to the band members.

Biafra had received sole songwriting credit for most Dead Kennedys songs on all released albums for the last 20 years or so without complaints from the band, though a minority of songs had given credit to certain group members or the entire band as a whole, indicating a system designed to reflect the primary composers rather than a regimented system like the Jagger / Richards partnership ; today, most Kennedys reissues list the songwriters as " Biafra, Dead Kennedys ", indicating Biafra's lyrical contributions — which the band doesn't dispute, or else simply as " Dead Kennedys ").

The song never appeared in a Levi's commercial, although in interviews Biafra described the situation surrounding the commercial in detail and was able to give specifics about the advertisement, including the name of the advertising agency that had created the commercial's script.

After initial military gains, the Biafran forces were pushed back and in 1970 Biafra was reabsorbed into Nigeria after an estimated population of 3 million Biafrans including women and children had been killed through the war starvation policy of the Nigerian Government.

After two-and-a-half years of war, during which a million civilians had died in fighting and from famine, Biafran forces agreed to a ceasefire with the Nigerian Federal Military Government ( FMG ), and Biafra was reintegrated into Nigeria.

The currency of Biafra had been the Nigerian pound, until the Bank of Biafra started printing out its own notes, the Biafran pound.

At the beginning of the war Biafra had 3, 000 troops, but at the end of the war the troops totalled 30, 000.

By the spring of 1969, Biafra had assembled five MFI-9Bs in Gabon, calling them " Biafra Babies ".

In 2010, researchers from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and University of Nigeria, Nsukka, showed that Igbos born in Biafra during the years of the famine were of higher risk of suffering from overweight, hypertension and impaired glucose metabolism compared to controls born a short period after the famine had ended.

The band later release fifth album Deviant, which had appearances of drummer John Stanier and Jello Biafra.

The suit claimed that Biafra had failed to pay the band royalties on Dead Kennedys albums.

Ojukwu led the Biafran forces and on the defeat of Biafra in January 1970, and after he had delegated instructions to Philip Effiong he went into exile for 13 years, returning to Nigeria following a pardon.

On 9 January 1970, General Odumegwu-Ojukwu handed over power to his second in command, Chief of General Staff Major-General Philip Effiong, and left for Côte d ' Ivoire, where President Felix Houphöet-Biogny – who had recognised Biafra on 14 May 1968 – granted him political asylum.

He had to get his father's age mates, or near age mates to work with him and for Biafra.
