So Gowon wrote this letter on 29th July, 1967 to the then British Prime Ministers, Harold Wilson, begging him to tame BBC, Financial Times and the Economist from reporting the true situation in Biafra in exchange for oil supplies as they gave him arms.

All these are important historical facts that ought to be preserved and taught in schools but unfortunately, we are living in a very stupid country full of stupid citizens

What he wished for Igbos is now consuming his people while he is still alive. He wanted BBC and others not to report the genocide against Igbos but today, his people are now facing genocide too and alas, no one is reporting it! Talk about karma.

I have said it times without number, Nigeria will never disintegrate until Britain agreed!

They are getting free oil supplies monthly from Nigeria with the help of the fulani stooge they always planted as head of state.

They will accept Nigeria breakup if the new states will keep supplying them that same barrels of oil.

Those who will quote me wrong here should visit Bonny island and see the number of vessel loading off petroluem, you will be marvelled. Oil vessels are like tiny buildings on the Atlantic ocean facing Bonny island!

When the boys in the creeks strikes during the days of militancy, oil prices in the world market goes up, telling you Nigeria has more oil than being quoted and sold to few who picked the money.

Britain will never allow Nigeria to break but will allow a loose federation between them and Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland.

Nigerian Leaders are too scared of international media censorship the true reason why d Buhari Presidency banned Twitter. When Nnamdi Kanu kept shouting Britain is Biafran's greatest enemy it is for facts like this. The blood can keep flowing as long as Britain's economic interest is guaranteed. Same pattern then playing out now

Meanwhile today, Gowon, Jerry Usani, Danjuma and other middle belt conspirators of the 1960s are all feeling the heat of the outcome of that war as the real power gladiators have long shove them aside and commence a war of annihilation on their people.Even Awo that initiated the food & economic blockade died a bittered man.

The mistake Ikemba made was that he didn’t use the same oil and gas domiciled in Biafra to his advantage! He could have made similar or better offers to Britain, as well as other world powers like the US and the then USSR!

These are what we should be having on the front page so as to expose the evil of the useless generation that couldn't provide just basic amenities but no, it goes against the popular narrative.

Awo was Gowon and Fulani's foot soldier and he is rightly rotting in hell after killing over 3 million innocent Biafran children. It's quite interesting that this new generation of Biafrans is not letting go and we must continue to dig into the archives to bring out more evil things against us like this one.
