The Biafrans Are Not And Have Never Been "Indigenous People." by MalcoImX: 5:14pm On Jul 19, 2017 |
The right to self-determination is a right recognized by natural law and nearly all international conventions and entities. But it is not right for certain groups to lay claim to what they're not in order to exercise this mandate. The 'Indigenous' People of Biafra ('I'POB) is the worst case in this misapplication. // Some would say being indigenous means being native to a place. But this is being literal, and by this definition, all tribes in Nigeria, or anywhere else could lay claim to being indigenous people. The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), as the choice of words show has clearly avoided this hole as against Nnamdi Kanu's 'I'ndigenous' People of Biafra ('I'POB). // It is very insensitive to the suffering of the indigenous people of the world for the Biafrans (or any Igbo) to use their plights to secure their political ambitions. In fact, it is very wicked and fraudulent The Biafrans are not, and have not been classified under any international conventions or by the indigenous peoples of the world as "indigenous people." // The Biafrans therefore, and by extension any Igbo, cannot lay claim to being "indigenous people." The indigenous people will be such like the Pygmies of central Africa; the Australian Aborigines; the Yanomami and other tribes of the Brazilian Amazon; the Chactows, the Cherokees, Tomahawks, the Mohicans, the Nebraskans, the Idahoans, the Sioux and all other native American Indians. They are mostly subjugated, threatened, and with subsistent, underdeveloped economies. They usually are protected and cared for by national and international organizations because of their vulnerabilities. In fact, this has to be, because they may face extinction if left to their own resources. It is selfishness and fraudulent for the Igbo, with well-developed economies (at least by Third World standards) to lay claims to this status. It is a mockery and insensitivity of the highest order for the Nigerian Igbo to even aspire to such. The only people in Nigeria that come close to such are the Ogonis, or any other to be discovered whose economy will be just about that of hunting and gathering. // Below is a list of Indigenous Peoples of Africa, as compiled by reputable researchers and institutions. The Igbos are not there, and it is clear fraud to appropriate the term. // Acholi: Uganda Afar: Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia Agaw: Ethiopia Akisho: Ethiopia Anuak: Ethiopia Beja: Eritrea Berta: Ethiopia Bilen: Eritrea Borana: Ethiopia Daasanach: Ethiopia Alur: Uganda Ambo: Zambia Ankole: Uganda Antalote: Comoros Aushi: Zambia Aweer: Kenya Babongo: Gabon Baganda: Uganda Bahima/Ankole: Uganda, Rwanda Bagisu: Uganda Bagwere: Uganda Bakiga: Uganda Bakonjo: Uganda Basoga: Uganda Batoro: Uganda Bemba: Zambia Betsileo: Madagascar Bisa: Zambia Bunyoro: Uganda Cafre: Comoros Chagga: Tanzania Chewa: Malawi Chikunda: Zambia Chokwe: Mozambique, Zambia Chopi: Mozambique Cishinga: Zambia Gova: Zambia Hadzabe: Tanzania Haya: Tanzania Hehe: Tanzania Hutu: Burundi, Rwanda Ila: Zambia Inamwanga: Zambia Iteso: Uganda Iwa: Zambia Jopadhola: Uganda Kabende: Zambia Kalenjin: Kenya Kamba: Kenya Kaonde: Zambia Karamojong: Uganda Kikuyu: Kenya Kisii: Kenya Kosa: Zambia Kunda: Zambia Kwandi: Zambia Kwandu: Zambia Kwangwa: Zambia Lala: Zambia Lamba: Zambia Lango: Uganda Lenje: Zambia Leya: Zambia Lima: Zambia Liyuwa: Zambia Lomwe: Malawi Lozi: Zambia Luano: Zambia Lucazi: Zambia Lugbara: Uganda Luhya: Kenya Lumbu: Zambia Lunda: Zambia Lundwe: Zambia Lungu: Zambia Luo: Kenya, Tanzania Luvale: Zambia Luunda: Zambia Maasai: Kenya and Tanzania Makoa: Comoros Makoma: Zambia Makonde: Mozambique Makua: Mozambique Mambwe: Zambia Manyika: Mozambique Mashasha: Zambia Mashi: Zambia Mbowe: Zambia Mbukushu: Zambia Mbumi: Zambia Mbunda: Zambia Mbwela: Zambia Merina: Madagascar Meru: Kenya Mukulu: Zambia Mulonga: Zambia Munyoyaya: Kenya Ndau: Mozambique Ndembu: Zambia Ng'umbo: Zambia Ngonde: Malawi Ngoni: Malawi Nguni: Mozambique Nkoya: Zambia Nsenga: Zambia Nyakyusa: Tanzania Nyamwezi: Tanzania Nyanja: Malawi, Zambia Nyengo: Zambia Nyiha: Zambia Ogiek: Kenya Oimatsaha: Comoros Pare: Tanzania Rundi: Uganda Rwanda: Uganda Sakalava: Comoros Seba: Zambia Sena: Malawi, Mozambique Senga: Zambia Sengwer: Kenya Shangana: Mozambique Shanjo: Zambia Shila: Zambia Shona: Mozambique Simaa: Zambia Soli: Zambia Subiya: Zambia Sukuma: Tanzania Swaka: Zambia Swahili: East Africa & bordering regions Tabwa: Zambia Tambo: Zambia Toka: Zambia Totela: Zambia Tumbuka: Malawi, Zambia Tonga: Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia Tutsi: Burundi, Rwanda Twa (Pygmy): Congo & bordering regions Unga: Zambia Wandya: Zambia Watha: Kenya Yao: Malawi, Mozambique Yiaku/Yaaku: Kenya Yombe: Zambia Zulu: South Africa & bordering regions Dorze: Ethiopia Gumuz: Ethiopia Gurage: Ethiopia Hamar: Ethiopia Hedareb: Eritrea Jeberti: Ethiopia Kichepo: Ethiopia Kunama: Eritrea Me'en: Ethiopia Mursi: Ethiopia Nara: Eritrea Nuer: Ethiopia Nyangatom: Ethiopia Oromo: Ethiopia Qemant: Ethiopia Rashaida: Eritrea Rer Bare: Ethiopia Saho: Eritrea Shanqella: Ethiopia Sidama: Ethiopia Silt'e: Ethiopia & bordering regions Suri: Ethiopia Tigre: Eritrea Tigray (Tigrinya): Ethiopia & ordering regions Welayta: Ethiopia Zay: Ethiopia Berber (Amazigh): Maghreb & bordering regions Dinka: South Sudan Egyptians: (Egypt) Haratin: Morocco, Mauritania Nuba: Sudan Nubians: Egypt, Sudan Nuer: South Sudan Shilluk: South Sudan Bushmen: Kalahari & bordering regions Khoikhoi: South Africa Namaqua: South Africa Baka: Congo & bordering regions Balengue: Equatorial Guinea Benga: Equatorial Guinea Bubi people: Bioko Island, Eq.

The word "indigenous" in 'I'POB is a deliberate misuse to hoodwink the gullible into recruiting and expansion of Kanu's criminal enterprise. Kanu's lack of remorse and inability to make amends will contiguously inflict upon him human and natural haunts, especially by the ancestors and ghosts of the Indigenous people. These people being physically and spiritually close to nature have the most potent ghosts, spirits, shamans, Voodoos. Only a being blocked from friendly admonishings will ride on the back of their sufferings. // PHOTOS 1. An indigenous woman: Ethiopia 2. Native American: USA 3. The Yanomami: Brazil 4.
