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.

History can't be buried!

Europeans keeps using us to play chess..
the moment we begin to realize that European countries only interfere in problems for financial and economic gain the better.
no friend in political and business is what we all know but the moment we realise that there's also no friend in economic gains and growth, the better.
Sorry for those calling for foreign support to their problems. the moment you can give something tangible in return that's when your problem becomes temporarily solved. they never do something for free..

Sovereign state my foot! Nigeria is a common dominion. He was literally begging them cap in hand and promising them oil he never owned in exchange for weapons. Not to talk of the ones given to them by the soviets. Yet, they couldnt do much with it against Biafran army. No wonder armed groups are decimating them now.

Zombies think shouting "south south" on oil matters will erase history.

Wonder why they banned history? They don't want you to known it was Britain that fought the war for them. Sadly, their number one citizen still depend on them for medical check-up after 54yrs.
