BIAFRA WAR: A DECLASSIFIED U.S DOCUMENTS DESCRIBED OJUKWU AS A PLAYBOY, IGBOS AS GIFTED, AGGRESSIVE, WESTERNIZED, WANDERING JEWS

A Declassified U.S document of July 1969 described the Igbos as the wandering Jews of West Africa - ... gifted, aggressive , Westernized; at best envied and resented, but mostly despised by the mass of their neighbors in the Federation.
The document which described Leader of Biafra, Ikemba Odimegwu Ojukwu as as “erstwhile playboy,” said the Igbos “have fought well (by African standards) against heavy odds; their cy:nical public relations use of the starvation has been brilliant.”
The document further revealed that then Senator John Kennedy had proposed a Biafra State akin to the State of Israel that was created in 1948 following the persecution of Jewish people around the world.
The 18page document was written by late Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger to late President Richard Nixon.

I don't understand sef, shey Buhari didn't take a look at the contracts before approving it? Hadi Sirika would have likely gottejna bribe from Ethiopia Air.

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, on Monday f,aulted the agreement the country signed with Ethiopian Airlines on the proposed national carrier, Nigeria Air.

He said it would be “irresponsible“ of the Federal Government to follow through on a deal that gives monopoly of Nigeria’s aviation industry to a foreign entity.

He further disclosed that reports had been submitted on the issue and President Bola Tinubu will determine the next step for the project.

“I cannot preempt my President. I cannot…now we have looked at all the issues and it’s before Mr. President,” Keyamo told State House Correspondents after this week’s Federal Executive Council meeting at the Aso Rick Villa.

The chances of Nigeria’s national carrier, Nigeria Air, beginning operations still hangs in the balance especially as new details about the contract resurfaced Monday.

Six months after an elaborate ceremony on May 26, 2023, to celebrate the arrival of its first aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, the airliner has remained dormant ever since.

Founded in 2018, Nigeria Air’s ownership stakes is divided among Ethiopian Airlines (49 per cent) Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (46 per cent), and the Federal Government (5 per cent)


However, Keyamo revealed that some of the details of the agreement signed with the major stakeholder in the deal, Ethiopian Airlines, required another critical look, in the interest of the nation, citing waivers and the staffing arrangements.

He said, “In the agreement, you are giving tax waivers to Ethiopian Airline coming into Nigeria. They asked for tax waivers for five years and you granted them, to come and compete with your local airline which are paying those heavy taxes.


“How? Do you want to create a monopoly? That’s why when they tell you that we want to crash price by…it’s a lie. It’s robbing Peter to pay Paul.

“The only thing that brings down prices in the commercial world is fair competition.”

He also lamented that the contract sought to cede the appointment of employees at all levels to the Ethiopian investors, a situation he lamented.

“In the agreement, they also made a proposal that they will appoint everybody; top management, everybody Ethiopian, in Nigeria, and we agreed. We agreed!” he emphasised regrettably.

However, Keyamo said all details are before the President for consideration.

“I have heard all kinds of things going on, all kinds of brickbats in the social media, but I cannot preempt my President.

“All the documents, all the reports, everything, we have forwarded to Mr. President, the issues we’ve met on the ground.

“I feel the pulse of Nigerians. Even the National Assembly raised concerns over that, and so many stakeholders. It would have been responsible to close my eyes totally to those concerns. So because of that, we suspended it, to say that let’s just look at all the issues and recommend,” he explained.

Keyamo explained that had the Nigeria Air agreement been implemented, it would have created a monopoly for Ethiopian Air, at the expense of other local airliners.

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) on Monday destroyed 15.7 tonnes of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances seized in Kano State.

The NDLEA Chairman, Brig.-Gen. (RTD) Buba Marwa said the drugs were seized by the state command and Malam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA), Special Area Command, between Oct. 2020 and Oct. 2023.


Marwa, represented by the NDLEA Director-General, Investigation, Mr Samuel Bashir-Gadzama, said during the public burning of the illicit drugs that the action was to prevent the drugs from going back to society.


Also, the state NDLEA Commander, Mr Abubakar Idris-Ahmad, said the 15,193.365 kg of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances destroyed comprised 9,824.098 kg of cannabis sativa and 1.8665 kg of cocaine.

He said others included 4,694.298 kg of psychotropic substances, 9 grams of methamphetamine, 10 kg of barbiturate, and 663 kg of expired drugs.

He said that a total of 528.511 kg of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances were seized from the Aminu Kano International Airport.

“The 528.511 kg of drugs were made up of 169 kg of psychotropic substances, 6 kg of Cannabis sativa, 4.3 kg of cocaine, 5.211 kg of methamphetamine, and 344 kg of khat.

“These substances have been a plague on our society, causing untold harm and devastation to many of our young people,’’ the commander added.

Idris-Ahmad also commended the Kano State Government, judges, other sister security agencies, and non-governmental organizations for their unwavering commitment to the fight against the drug menace.

“We appreciate the Emirate Councils for their unique and effective intervention in insisting on drug tests before appointments,’’ he added.

The commander said that the NDLEA has approved the establishment of Divisional Narcotic Offices in every local government area in Nigeria to enhance the war against drug trade and abuse.

“Let this serve as a warning to those who trade in these destructive substances that there is no hiding place for them in Kano State.

“We will not rest until every corner of this state is free from drugs and every young person can live a life free from the influence of illicit substances,’’ he assured.

Speaking, Gov. Abba Kabir-Yusuf commended the NDLEA and other security agencies in the fight against the drug menace.

Kabir-Yusuf, represented by his Chief of Staff, Mr Shehu Wada-Sagagi, said the majority of illegal drug users in the state were teenagers and assured that the government was ready to contain the situation to make the state better. (NAN)
