A Statement From The Biafra Government In Exile (bgie) on Bombings etc by rover321: 9:55am On Dec 30, 2011
This is a brief excerpt: see source below for full letter.

It is not sufficient for the world nations, the UN and the Vatican to merely issue “condemnations,” no matter how strongly worded, for what must be the umpteenth time, against the incessant calculated bombing of Christian Churches, the killing of Christians, the targeting of Igbo in Northern Nigeria where Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, is also located, by Boko Haram or jihadist Muslim Northern Nigerians any time it pleases them flying any “banner of the month”.

It is equally useless for the Nigerian government and President Jonathan’s administration to continue to issue statement after statement, whether of condolence or of the promise of improved security, or arrest and trial of the perpetrators, mere cruelly empty rhetoric which continues to mock the usual victims.

Nor is it sufficient for Nigerian civilians to declare in their wishful-thinking, idle dreams and uselessly self-righteous preachment to live together in peace and harmony as one country when they all know that such is not possible, that such has never been practicable ever since the British-engineered inception of Nigeria.

It is no longer acceptable for the Igbo to continue their loud and public cry for sympathy as grieving victims after each of these bloody events targeting them, since they have unilaterally chosen to return to unwelcoming, hostile Northern Nigeria, the same scene of the bloody and ferocious ethnic cleansing exercise directed against them in 1966, an operation that has never really stopped, only now taking the shape and form of these one-sided contemporary attacks by Boko Haram, with the same hideous results. All the while, the Igbo delude themselves by pretending that they really belong to the same country, Nigeria, as the Northerners; and that such claimed citizenship would offer them protection, if not by the respect of citizenship by fellow-citizenry, then as the duty of the State of Nigeria.
