Olatomiwami: We don't need any alliance with the west. We can tackle our problem head on. My problem is that Afonja won't remain Neutral they would come against us by supporting the north. If there is anybody that needs alliance to face the entire North alone, it's South-West, and not South-East. |

The Republic of Biafra : Resolution by the Eastern Region Consultative Assembly. We, the Chiefs, Elders and Representatives of Eastern Nigeria, gathered at this Joint meeting of the Advisory Committee of Chiefs and Elders and the Consultative Assembly do solemnly declare as follows: Whereas we have been in the vanguard of the national movement for the building of a strong, united and prosperous Nigeria where no man will be oppressed and have devoted our efforts, talents and resources to this end; Whereas we cherish certain inalienable human rights and state obligations such as the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness; the right to acquire, possess and defend property; the provision of security; and the establishment of good and just government based on the consent of the governed; Whereas in practical demonstration of these beliefs, our people settled in other parts of Nigeria, served their country in many capacities, and contributed immensely to the growth and development of Nigeria; Whereas we are living witnesses of injustices and atrocities committed against Eastern Nigeria, among which are the premeditated murder of over 30,000 of our innocent men, women and children by Northern Nigerians, the calculated destruction of the property of our sons and daughters, the shameless conversion of two million Eastern Nigerians into refugees in their own country, all this without remorse; Whereas in consequence of these and other acts of discrimination and injustice, we have painfully realized that the Federation of Nigeria has failed, and has given us no protection; Whereas in spite of these facts, the Government and people of Eastern Nigeria have persisted in their efforts to find a practical and just solution that would preserve the continued existence of Nigeria as one corporate unit and restore peace and confidence as demonstrated by the initiative of our Military Governor in getting all the military leaders together at Aburi, Ghana; Whereas the hopes which the Aburi Agreement engendered have proved to be misplaced and have been destroyed by a series of acts of bad faith and distortions and finally by a refusal on the part of the >Lagos Government= to implement these and other Agreements notwithstanding the fact that they were freely and voluntarily entered into; Whereas the Federation of Nigeria has forfeited any claim to our allegiance by these acts and by the economic, political and diplomatic sanctions imposed against us by the so-called Federal Government; And whereas the object of government is the good of the governed and the will of the people its ultimate sanction; Now, therefore, in consideration of these and other facts and injustices, we, the Chiefs, Elders and Representatives of all the Twenty Provinces of Eastern Nigeria, assembled in this Joint Meeting of the Advisory Committee of Chiefs and Elders and the Consultative Assembly, at Enugu this 27th day of May, 1967, we hereby solemnly: a. Mandate His Excellency Lt. Col. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, Military Governor of Eastern Nigeria, to declare at the earliest practicable date Eastern Nigeria a free, sovereign and independent sate by the name and title of the Republic of Biafra. B. Resolve that the new Republic of Biafra shall have the full and absolute powers of a sovereign state, and shall establish commerce, levy war, conclude peace, enter into diplomatic relations, and carry out, as of right, other sovereign responsibilities. C. Direct that the Republic of Biafra may enter into arrangement with any sovereign unit or units in what remains of Nigeria or in any part of African desirous of association with us for the purpose of running a common services organization and for the establishment of economic ties. D. Recommend that the Republic of Biafra should become a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the Organization of African Unity and the United Nations Organization. E. Recommend the adoption of a Federal Constitution based on the new provincial units. F. Re-affirm His Excellency's assurance of protection for the persons, properties and businesses of foreign nationals in our territory. G. Declare our unqualified confidence in the Military Governor of Eastern Nigeria, Lt. Col. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, and assure him of our unreserved support for the way and manner he has handled the crisis in the country. So help us God. compiled by Nowa Omoigui https://www.dawodu.com/erca.htm |

And what will the South South gain from fighting a war with the Igbos? What do you have to offer? Do you have oil? Do you have sea? You and your illiterate people need to stop fooling yourselves, if the South South wanted to join Biafra we would have joined the Biafran agitation a long time ago. You're on your own. Count us out. |
