WHY WE WANT BIAFRA THE LAST TESTAMENT
Fraternal greetings to all. On behalf of the Indigenous People of Biafra trapped in the Nigeria state; the Biafra Rangers (BR), want to alert the International Community on the plight and horrible human rights degradation and deprivation being meted on Biafrans by Nigeria’s successive governments and peoples. Aside earlier submissions to this August body by a late erstwhile Biafra leader, Prince Longinus Orjiakoh (Bless his Soul), we want to inform this body that the Nigerian state have remained adamant to the plight of our people sojourning in the Northern part of Nigeria; whose lives are constantly been cut- short and businesses worth billions of naira destroyed by rampaging murderous gang called Boko Haram; masquerading in the garb of religion. Suffice it to say that many families of Biafrans residing in the north of Nigeria, have lost most of their families through spates of Boko Haram bombings; the terrorist group is now targeting establishments and money-spinning businesses of Biafrans over there (EMAB Plaza, Abuja for instance), and residential quarters of Biafrans in the north of Nigeria. The most infuriating aspect is that the government (both federal & states), have refused to release the bodies of those killed, to their families for a decent burial, claiming lamely that doing so may cause reprisals in the Eastern states by Biafrans. Those who sustained various degrees of injuries as a result of the bomb attacks are now at the mercy of God, languishing in pains and deprivation at various hospitals in the north of Nigeria, as against promises and assurances of the federal government to take care of them and the hospital bills. The problem of Biafra if not addressed, will forever remain a scar in the conscience of Europeans. We make this statement without malice and grudges to any nation or people, rather as a result of history. We make this statement based on history. Apart from individual, organization and state exploration and expedition of Africa as recorded, history as written by Europeans did state of partition of Africa at a certain conference somewhere in Berlin. This partition did record the allotment of African lands and people to different Europe states, “Today there is no comprehensive record of the Africans Europe met, the Africans Europe granted independence and the present day Africa”, particularly Nigeria. The contemporary political development in Africa stress on the need to revisit Berlin to reassess the Africa Europe met the land and people with a view of fashioning their independence according to the land and people. The history of slavery is old- fashioned, the story of colonialism has been overtaken by events; the issue of the moment is domestic colonialism. In Nigeria for instance the issdxue is the restoration of ancient landmarks and boundaries; restoration of peoples; sovereignty and independence and Europe holds the ace. Globally, we in Biafra are often delighted to hear and observe discussions on climate change/ global warming, human trafficking, global peace, endangered species, etc. is it not amazing that even animals outside Africa have Animal Rights. They are protected by law, but back home in Nigeria, particularly the occupied territory of Biafra, Human Right is a luxury. Here we talk of life not right, The world must move from classifying endangered animal species to endangered humanity. Today global contemporary discussion has continued to evade one salient factor which is peculiar to Nigeria ie, “Domestic Colonialism”. Domestic colonialism can be defined as the domination/ marginalization of one tribe by another. At this point I will want to state that the views of anti- Biafra people differ from our real position. Sometimes people are fed with wrong impression that our agitation is all about oil/ resource control; no we are aware that no nation particularly our part of the world controls their economy talk-less of their resources. We are also aware that even human resources needs proper direction before effective result can be achieved. Our struggle is about our life as a people, it is about our survival. Personally, I subscribe to the unity of all black man, while growing up, I see blackness as a symbol of unity, but today, I believe that independence of different races being lumped together against their will as a people will never build a stronger Africa. Many Biafrans have given the better part of their lives to Nigeria development; we have sojourned outside our region against our will because the Nigeria economy is designed to draw us out of our region. We have built network and bridges of cooperation in Nigeria, yet we are not wanted. Recently Nigeria celebrated 53 years of nationhood and barely a year away from centenary of her amalgamation, yet the social, economic, political, cultural and religious values of several nationalities trapped in Nigeria have virtually refused to blend. Our people, appreciates the efforts of Europe in terms of aids, assistance and other humanitarian gestures, but we strongly believe that Europe should revisit Berlin Conference to restore landmarks and boundaries.

Typical Awusa/Fulani/Alumajiri/Bokoharam liar. IPOB are God fearing people. They're not like the Terrorist and Paedophile in chief.

well spoken. Nigeria is a fraud. The Hausa fulani is holding Nigeria to ransom. If Yorubas can not speak for fear of being killed, Igbos will continue to fight for their rights.

We know yorubas are waiting for the Igbos for their own freedom.

The egg is almost broken

Again Igbos are obsessed with Yorubas.

Are Yorubas done with their perpetual ass-licking job as to warrant such worthy attention?

The fear of Igbo domination is not a new fear and comes up even when there are no bases for it. There had not been an occasion when the Igbo dominated Nigeria or any part of Nigerian political or economic segment. NCNC was a political party that had significant Igbo membership but was not dominated by the Igbo, not in the sense of Yoruba in Action Group or Hausa/Fulani in NPC. There was powerful Yoruba presence in NCNC and with the alliance with NEPU significant Northern presence. One could not say the same for AG/UMBC alliance. Before the Civil War the Federal Government and Civil Service had significant Igbo presence but not a dominant position; not any more than the Yoruba or Hausa/Fulani.

Even after one had classified all Easterners as Igbo.

Even in Eastern Nigeria the dominant role was not true. There was a non Igbo government leader in Eastern Nigeria . There was never a non Yoruba leader in the West even though Midwestern Nigerians had minorities. There was never a non Hausa/Fulani Government Leader in the North even though there are many minority ethnic groups in the region.

Why are the Igbo so feared?

On the other hand there were many occasions when the Igbo had been marginalized. In the first 30 years after the Civil War there were no Igbo of any worthwhile rank in the Nigerian Armed Forces or police. Few headed any powerful ministries, or parastatals, or headed the civil services. The economy is now dominated by the Yoruba/Hausa/Fulani oligarchy and no one is complaining. After the indigenization decree nearly 60% of Nigerian economy was in the hands of Yoruba and there was no word from the Igbo or other Nigerians about domination. A review of the Federal Government foreign indebtedness from 1960-2007 shows that the East, especially the SE, was very poorly served.

But all Nigerians paid for and are paying the loans.

The only part of Nigerian life one would find Igbo domination is in the number of Nigerians who live outside their states of origin. There are more Igbo in this case than any other ethnic group. But these people moved on their own, are often engaged in petty trading or practicing some kind of trade funded by their sweat. There is no government handout involved and they do not work for any government.

Why should anybody be envious?

This essay was prompted by the insidious attacks on Chief of Staff Ihejirika. This writer had written in the past that non political appointments ought to be based solely on merits while political appointments would try to take into consideration the national character concept. I still hold this belief. But analyzing the recent army promotions and deployments, one sees that the national character concepts was very much in evidence. Could it be that in this instance the marginalization of the Igbo was not as obvious as in the past and therefore people are afraid that the Igbo might come back?
