BIAFRA - The Real Issues
Many Nigerians sometimes believe that Biafra should not be independent. Some of the reasons are things like, we have integrated or the nation is developing. This is a selfish and unrealistic view of the issues on ground.
The only problem with the Biafran question is the oil. Without the oil today, there will be no reason to co-exist because the people are different completely. The fulani for example are more than willing to murder, kill maim and destroy.It is in fact in Northerners to kill naturally while appearing gentle and subservient whereas the South is a bit more aggressive, ambitious and not blood thirsty.
This remarkable difference is seen in the way each side conducts themselves. While the North is feudal and believes that God has already made the blackman a slave to oyibo, the South believes that they can develop and be like the oyibos.However, the oyibos on their own discovered that the Hausa/Fulani are very violent and figured they will very easily serve as a weapon to maintain their control of Nigeria in return for Nigeria's natural resources.It was from coal those days to Lime stone and today oil.
First we must note that Biafra existed long before the entity called Nigeria today. Below is an 1851 Map of Africa showing Biafra.
THE OIL QUESTION:
It is on record that the North had planned "ARABA" in the 60's but were remote controlled by the British to change their decision on the premise that the North is poor and stands to lose. Please let us bring common sense to work here.
The British figured that with mediocre in power, the following will be possible
1. No alternative source of foreign exchange income will come to Nigeria
2. Violence will be used to suppress any voice that comes up with reason
3. Sustain a divide and rule in the old eastern region so that the British and other allies can still have oil
These would explain why Nigeria has international oil companies operating with impunity and their list include: Shell, Chevron, Agip, Exxon-Mobil, Schlumberger, Total, Halliburton, Julius Berger etc.

THE OIL QUESTION:
It is on record that the North had planned "ARABA" in the 60's but were remote controlled by the British to change their decision on the premise that the North is poor and stands to lose. Please let us bring common sense to work here.
- The British ran Nigeria prior to Independence without oil and the nation did very well
- The British are known to have interests in Zimbabwe, a land locked country with no oil or natural resources per se ---Why do you think the British interest is?
One question that the North has failed to ask itself is this "If oil was important for our survival, how come Biafra did not survive?
BRITISH FRAUD:
The British are masters in Divide and Rule and obviously figured that inciting Northerners with oil would be an easy way to have the oil. Does this not tell you why they persuaded the North not to leave the union?
Apparently, contrary to what you the reader might be thinking in terms of oil based economy, the North does not need oil to survive and the Zimbabwe case also shows they do not need the ocean to survive either.
The British figured that with mediocre in power, the following will be possible
1. No alternative source of foreign exchange income will come to Nigeria
2. Violence will be used to suppress any voice that comes up with reason
3. Sustain a divide and rule in the old eastern region so that the British and other allies can still have oil
These would explain why Nigeria has international oil companies operating with impunity and their list include: Shell, Chevron, Agip, Exxon-Mobil, Schlumberger, Total, Halliburton, Julius Berger etc.
After the civil war orchestrated, incited and facilitated by the British, they handed down to their Hausa/Fulani slaves some techniques they could use in subjugating their fellow blacks. They were guided by the British to create a mediocre Federalism to suppress the people of the old eastern region collectively referred to as "Igbo". Please note that to the people in Lagos and the North, every Southerner that is not Yoruba is "Omo Ibo" or "Yamiri" to Northerners.It is important to note that "Igbo" in this write-up refers to every Southerner that is neither Yoruba nor Benin because ideally the Northerners understanding of "Igbo" is that you are from the South and Not Yoruba or Benin.If you the reader is from such areas as well, check if you are not called "Omo Ibo" in Lagos and not called "Yamiri" in the North even after your explanation.This is why other minorities try at every opportunity to deny being being Igbo even when no one asked them and typically you see same from Sunday Oliseh who is the new national team coach and in this scenario, no one asked him whether he was Igbo or not but unconsciously he had to because he understands the marginalization of Igbos very well.
Imagine being Igbo in a country like this or being mistaken as Igbo knowing the challenge of being black in the first place, coming from the poorest region in the World(west Africa) and how you would feel living in such a country.
STATE CREATIONS AND THE IGBOS
State creations in the South are not created for viability or ethnic identity but for "divide and rule" with "divide and steal" ideas from the British using the Northerners who have refused to understand that the British are only using them to subjugate their fellow blacks out of their belief that blacks are without brains.
This was why the first states were created by Gowon to handle the divide and rule ideology that also embedded in many Southerners the division they experienced during the war.
LANDLOCK PHILOSOPHY
One the tactics deployed by the Nigerian authorities under Gowon with heavy British guidance during the war was Air, Land and see blockade of the Biafran territory. The goal was to prevent access to arms, foreign exchange, food and even diplomacy. However the philosophy needed to be sustained after the war and considering that the northerners are mere stooges to the British, their reasoning remains along the same path and line. For nearly fifty years, the blockade has not only been sustained but every effort has been put in place to ensure the landlock philosophy is achieved.You will notice that Northerners at every point do all they can to suggest, insist that the Biafra region is only the Igbos and the South Eastern states but because they rarely dwell on facts, they forget that maps of Africa from 1800's showed the Biafra region on the map and long before the British contraption called Nigeria.Even in the Biafran republic of 1967-1970, the other head of state of Biafra was Phillip Effiong who incidentally was not Igbo. Also the name Biafra was suggested as a new name for the old Eastern Region of Nigeria by an Ijaw man apparently because it existed even before Nigeria as they could have easily answered Republic of Eastern Nigeria.It is along the same Philosophy that the mediocrity resulted in a cardinal point that is not in any map or compass in the world "South South" region to create a separate identity for one group in order to have a divide.
However, in the Nigeria geo-political system, they coined a so called South-South region which carved out a portion, jumped over another to add a different area and call it South-South while the region in between is still South East.Looking at the map below (ref:http://article.sapub.org/10.5923.j.economics.20120205.01.html), look at the blue area, can you explain why the South East Region is circled by the South South? Any reason why the South East does not continue to the end? This is the mediocrity in the Northern game of divide and rule without asking is there a better way we ca do this?In a different area of this blog, we shall explain how the North could have handled it without the obvious mediocrity and still benefit better. Only that they a brainwashed by the British with a very high level of Igbophobia that is only curable through the British as well.
EDUCATION QUOTA AND CUT OFF MARKS
During the period of the civil war, the old Eastern region experienced the worst form of man's inhumanity to man. The British understood what it meant to provide blacks with guns and bombs and set them to kill themselves. Schools were bombed, market places were bombed, churches were bombed and the British helped them sustain an air land and see blockade on the Biafran territory(This is the price of having a bad brother). This meant that schools were closed for the three years the war lasted.
However, after the war, the old Biafran region was seen as a war booty and divided among-st the Hausa Fulani and the Yorubas that fought the war. They subsequently introduced a system that made it more difficult for Igbos to gain university admission or access to the so called Federal Unity Schools. Please note that no form of rehabilitation or reparation was paid to the victims of the war but instead the Government instead robbed the war victims of their houses and their money.This was done with the wicked and hypocritical Obasanjo as a facilitator. Despite all these, the Northerners demonstrated against University admissions which they felt favoured the South more than them. It is important to note that Northerners depend more on perception than on facts--they believe that if the Government said a family had more children than another it becomes correct even if in actual facts there were more children in the other family.
Below is a typical Cut of Points for unity Schools by State.
| State | Male | Female | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Abia | 130 | 130 | |
| Adamawa | 62 | 62 | |
| Akwa-Ibom | 123 | 123 | |
| Anambra | 139 | 139 | |
| Bauchi | 35 | 35 | |
| Bayelsa | 72 | 72 | |
| Benue | 111 | 111 | |
| Borno | 45 | 45 | |
| Cross-Rivers | 97 | 97 | |
| Delta | 131 | 131 | |
| Ebonyi | 112 | 112 | |
| Edo | 127 | 127 | |
| Ekiti | 119 | 119 | |
| Enugu | 134 | 134 | |
| Gombe | 58 | 58 | |
| Imo | 138 | 138 | |
| Jigawa | 44 | 44 | |
| Kaduna | 91 | 91 | |
| Kano | 67 | 67 | |
| Kastina | 60 | 60 | |
| Kebbi | 9 | 9 | |
| Kogi | 119 | 119 | |
| Kwara | 123 | 123 | |
| Lagos | 133 | 133 | |
| Nassarawa | 58 | 58 | |
| Niger | 93 | 93 | |
| Ogun | 131 | 131 | |
| Ondo | 126 | 126 | |
| Osun | 127 | 127 | |
| Oyo | 127 | 127 | |
| Plateau | 97 | 97 | |
| Rivers | 118 | 118 | |
| Sokoto | 9 | 9 | |
| Taraba | 3 | 3 | |
| Yobe | 2 | 2 | |
| Zamfara | 4 | 2 | |
| FCT Abuja | 90 | 90 |
From the above, you will notice that the Igbo states have a higher cut off mark. States like Imo, Anambra,Enugu, Abia and Ebonyi are the blue portion marked as SE in the map above. They have the highest concentration of a consistent group. Notice also the cut off for Akwa-Ibom state is also high because of the Philip Effiong factor. If you the reader is not from Nigeria, it is important to point out that this disparity is not guided by accurate statistics but "Igbophobia" and the civil war Factor. General Effiong was the last President of Biafra during the war and happens to be from the old Cross-River state(2 states-Akwa-Ibom and Cross River state today). The Northerners who were more "lie servy" and complete British slaves use every avenue available to them to witchhunt, suppress and enslave anyone with a perceived sentiment for rule of law and equity. Example:Kano state claims to have a population of 9.3 Million while Imo state has a population of 3.9 Million all according to the fraudulent Nigerian statistics. However, their justification to the quota on the surface is that "they are educationally disadvantaged". To understand how imbecilic their argument of being educationally disadvantaged is:
Look at two states like Imo and Abia -Bot used to be one state and allocated a population of 3.9 and 2.8 million respectively, no one except themselves can understand what criteria they used to say Abia is more educationally disadvantaged than Imo.Enugu and Anambra were also in the same same state and infact the whole of the SE/SS were once the same region. You now wonder what statistics they used to come up with the mediocre fraud.
In summary, if you were Igbo and had a way to say you are from Bayelsa or Jigawa to gain admission, you will have to do so hence some Igbos change their names in order not to experience the hausa/Fulani subjugation and oppression of "Igbos".Just in case you wonder why we had said people from the entire old eastern region were seen as Igbos, and then turn to say its only applicable to Igbos --it is because they based their lies and propaganda on Igbo originally and this was why one of the warlord during the civil war had these to say
“I want see no Red Cross, no Caritas, no World Council of Churches, no pope, no missionary, and no United Nations Delegation. I want to prevent even one Igbo from having even one piece to eat before their capitulation. We shoot at everything that moves and when our troops march into the center of Igbo territory, we shoot at everything even a things that don’t move”—Benjamin Adekunle
The above statement would give you the reader an idea about the level of hatred in a war that was incited by the British who not only created the contraption called Nigeria but also incited the Northerners to war by saying "If they left the fraudulent Nigerian union, it means only them will take the oil and incidentally, oil is the British target"
Do you know that despite statements like the above, there was no war criminal, and no punishment for such. Interestingly also, the Igbos and people of the old Eastrn region are not allowed to even remember those who died in the war.They are forbidden from even mentioning Biafra as those who do are threatened with death as well as treason charges by those from the educationally disadvantaged region. This is how bad it has been for the Igbos and their South South neighbours especially Akwa-Ibom axes because those areas believe in justice, equity enterprise and competition. Unfortunately, the North does not believe in competition but are feudal believing that slaves are created by God to be slaves while others are created to be kings.This belief explains the Northern sheepish belief in British friendship which has left them poorer than any other region in sub-saharan African.
NORTHERN SUBJUGATION AND LACK OF DIRECTION
The people of the old Eastern region not withstanding the set-back of the British engineered war using the Northerners have similar life patterns. They are autonomous as a people as there was no record of any group subjugating or conquering the other until Nigeria came. However, their autonomy were meddled with by the Nigerian system and the Hausa/Fulani deployed the lies they are know for. Some of the lies they used were
1. Igbos conquered you before and now we have liberated you - they successfully sold this crap to the Ikwerre axes who started singing the same sing song. They however forgot that in some of their claims like Igbos changed the names of our villages to their own, they forgot theirs were unique as every Igbo speaking area differed from each other. They could not point at which Igbo region could have conquered them and changed their name to things that were different from all other areas. Example: Some of them claimed that Igbos changed Ovinda to Obinna and they could not answer why no other Igbo speaking area had Ovunda in their own lexicon.The interesting part of their self deceit is the fact that some educated ones are the champions of the fraud.
However, people in the old eastern region saw Nigeria as more or less a ceiling preventing them from development for example: In the fraudulent Nigeria system-their are sea ports in Warri, Rivers and Akwa-Ibom areas but these are not functioning. Imports are handled from Lagos and they now have to ship from Lagos to mostly the South Eastern area which is another show of how inhuman the Hausa/Fulani's are as a people. It also explains why despite heavy dependence on loots government money -the North is the least competitive region requiring politics and Government intervention to even go to school or go for pilgrimage to mecca. There is no successful Northern author, inventor or such things alike but all their prominent men and women are made by Government money or carrier. Here is a list of people from Hausa/Fulani and almost all of them were government made millionaires.
You may follow this link to Wikipedia for a list of hausa people and check through to see that a region with the highest population produced the least number of sportsmen, Academicians, Inventors, Entertainers but violently imposes its stagnant ideology and sub-servitude to British mindset on everyone else.
However, they produced the underwear bomber whose father is the number 2 above and introduced Sharia banking from a region whose contribution to humanity is violence and bloodshed as well fraudulent politics.
The Hausas are closely mixed with the Fulani who conquered them and both are integrated and interwoven with same violent mindset and see leadership as an opportunity to loot, steal and apportion everything possible for selfish reasons. This explains why it is easy for them to be used by the British against their fellow blacks. Below is a list of notable Fulanis and all you will see will be political positions which unfortunately they usually abuse for selfish reason.Note that Dangote is the richest black man in the world today but still his wealth is political in the sense that competitors are politically banned to give him an advantage Example: In his cement Business Ibeto cement was banned for Dangote.
OIL AND GAS
The oil and Gas in the Delta region of Nigeria formerly Biafra land is the only reason Nigeria exists today. The British figured that the best way to access the oil would be to use the blood thirsty Hausa/Fulani ethnic who can kill at the slightest threat to oil flow. Interestingly, numerous lies were told against the Igbos in a typical divide and rule manipulation, orchestrated by the British but delivered through the Hausa Fulani.This explains the Map and divisions you saw as the Hausa/Fulani and their allies put in every effort to ensure that the Igbos are somehow divided and separated from any other sub-igbo group or the so called minorities. The key plot in the charade is to ensure that the igbos have no access to the see and this was what created the ownership debates of Portharcourt and the Ikwerres denial of being a sub Igbo group. The fight here remains two pronged -Prevent any access to the Sea and also ensure that oil derivation is attributed more to their mediocre cardinal point called South-South region.It is important to note that Portharcourt was called Igweocha before the whiteman renamed it to Portharcourt. All the fraud and charade are handled by the Hausa/Fulani with advanced British guidance. This explains why they made sure Saro-Wiwa was killed the moment it appeared like he was going to open peoples eyes to the Hausa/Fulani greed and injustice.
HAUSA/FULANI AND A LACK OF DIRECTION
One thing about the Nigerian state is that only the few oppressors and marauders from the Hausa/Fulani extraction consider Nigeria as good and developing. Yes, because they enjoy the good of the land without really working for it but sustaining their domination with violence and bloodshed. The Hausa/Fulani slaughtered and killed themselves simply because a Southerner that did not handpick became President. In the many years the Hausa-Fulani ruled every institution or establishment that made Nigeria a state collapsed. Let us look at the examples. As at the time the white-man left and Nigeria became Independent, most institutions and state establishments were functioning.However, the Hausa/Fulani believes more in perception than in facts, example - the believe that when you employ a Doctor who was allowed to graduate on compassionate grounds with probably the lowest Grade Point Average known to man, it is the same thing as employing one that made a first class, above all If the government announces that the doctor was employed on merit, then it actually means "He was employed on merit". There definition of merit is more of lip service than of excellence.This explains why the North has been Academically backward from independence till date. You will probably have difficulty finding an Hausa/Fulani author, inventor, Entertainer or some form of exceptional human exhibit that you can point at. Their understanding of leadership is using it to occupy positions of authority even if they know nothing about how the place works and they also do not understand equity.
This attitude of the Hausa/Fulani led to the collapse of all institutions of the Nigerian state and we list them below.
1. Nigerian Railway Co-operation
2. Nigerian Airways
3. Nigeria Telecommunications
4. Nigeria Postal Service
5. Nigeria Ports Authority
The obvious lack of direction makes the agitation for Biafra run stronger because there are no jobs considering that almost all government institutions are dead. For some reason anyway, the Hausa/Fulani tries to convince everyone that the problem is more of who we are than with them and their reason is that if that was not the case, some states should have done better than their own states.
The argument however is defeated by their inability to allow changes that can usher in progress simply because they are being remote controlled by the British because an average Hausa/Fulani sees the British as God.
ORIGINS OF THE SO-CALLED MINORITIES
One thing the Hausa/Fulani has as a virtue or vice is their ability to tell lies and sway perception. They are able to "make you perceive" anything the way it suits them. One simple way to look at it was their ability to get the Igbos in Rivers to deny being Igbo. Please make no mistake because Igbos here refer to the entire Easter region as at then because that was how they were perceived.Ideally when an average Northerner says Igbo, it means any Southerner that is not Yoruba and partly Benin. If you doubt, when you in Lagos today and you are not Yoruba or Hausa - you are called "Omo Ibo" now think about how it could have been in 1960's when there was only one road from Lagos to the East.Now look at what Black scorpion said here
"I want to see no Red Cross, no Caritas, no World Council of Churches, no Pope, no missionary and no UN delegation. I want to prevent even one Ibo from having even one piece to eat before their capitulation. We shoot at everything that moves and when our troops march into the centre of Ibo territory, we shoot at everything even at things that do not move......."
The above statement from the Late Adekunle AKA Black Scorpion shows that he saw the war as against Igbo than against the former territory of the entire Easter region. You will recall that during the British engineered starvation of the Biafrans, Adekunle was approached to allow some aid and food get to some people who were not Igbos but he replied "There may be Igbos among them" this shows how deep the hatred was and subsequently forced those who could to deny being Igbo.
It was based on the terror unleashed on the old Eastern region that everyone started re-writing their history and claiming to have come from Benin. Now you the reader, think about it -if the Benin kingdom was about 3 Million(hope we are right) and all other minorities from the SE/SS are from there, is it not then interesting that Igbo population of three or four times that of Benin now has no one coming from the Igbos? This denial is as a result of the terror witnessed during and after the war. If this was not the case, how come the old Eastern region was also quite "peaceful" before the war?
Is it not very interesting that Portharcourt for example with an Igbo name "Igwe Ocha" was renamed Portharcourt and people are now convinced that Portharcourt is the real name whereas it was the name given to it by the British imperialists.
Following this trend of denials - one wonders how a people that came from Benin does not have real commonality with the Benin they came from.
Some example(Please note that we appreciate the intermingling of cultures)
The names of God in Nigerian Languages
Igbo - Olisa bi n’igwé, Chukwu, Chukwu okike Abiama(God the creator or God of Abraham)Chi, Chineke, Obasi bi n’igwé
Itshekiri - Oritse - God
Urhobo - Oghene
Ijaw - Egbesu
Benin/Edo - Osa
Yoruba - Oluwa, Olorun
Ibibio - Chuku, Abassi
Efik - Abassi
Hausa/Fulani - Allah (We do not know the Hausa Fulani indigenous name for God)
Is it not interesting how Northerners were able to sway perception and inspire Igbo hatred from nowhere? It goes a long way to show that if the Hausa/Fulani told you that you were dead, you will believe them to a point that you will start preparing your own burial.
IMMIGRATION
Another curious part of the Nigerian nation is the immigration pattern. While the people of the old Eastern region are somehow forced to migrate away from their homelands. You will notice a large number of people of the old Eastern region outside their homes than the Northerners---you are forced to wonder or ask why?
The Hausa/Fulanis were able to convince the so called Minorities who existed as city states in the entire region long before the coming of the subtle British that they all came from Benin. Think about it --Itshekiri came from Benin, Ijaw came from Benin, Urhobo came from Benin, Ikwerre came from Benin and the Igbos fell from heaven yet, the Igbos have striking similarities with these minorities than both the Yorubas and the old Benin kingdom. Interestingly, their women tie two-piece wrapper regarded as a symbol of modesty in the olden days. The God of the Igbos also looked similar to that of the Igbos and moreover, both sides existed peacefully in the old Eastern region before the British Proxy war using the ravaging Northeners of Hausa/Fulani.
Today more
- Ikwerre people live outside the Ikwerre home land than Northerners
- Efik/Ibibio people live outside their homeland than the Hausa/Fulanis
- Itshekiri people live outside their homeland than the Hausa/Fulani
- Igbo people live outside their homeland than he Hausa Fulani
-Yet the Hausa/Fulani claim they are more in number than anyone else.It does therefore appear that in conjunction with the British, every effort is being put to force people of the old Eastern region out of their home land even as they are indigenous ethnic groups.
SELF-DETERMINATION
Self determination is an enshrined property of the United Nations. However, the United Nations is a tooth Bulldog as far as the five world powers are involved. This explains why the self determination agitation from the late Ken Saro-Wiwa resulted in his death and because the British and Americans had a hand in it, the only price Nigeria paid was suspension from the common wealth. Compare this action to the decision of the US/UK to the following
1. Refusing to buy Nigerian oil during the administration of Goodluck Jonathan and resuming as soon as he left office
2. Refusing to allow Nigeria procure weapons to combat Boko Haram
3. Refusing to share intelligence with Nigeria in the search of the alleged abducted Chibok girls
To better understand the hypocrisy in the British and the UN body, look at the video below

The death of an environmental activist attracted expulsion from the Common Wealth but oil continued to flow to power the industries of the owners of Shell, Chevron, Agip, Schlumberger, Exxon-Mobil, etc. Contrary to the belief that oil is required for Nigeria to survive, remember that they stopped buying the oil under GEJ and the country did not collapse? Unfortunately, the British and their allies saw in Hausa/Fulani's are people with no objective or goals in life outside taking more wives and lazying about. This weapon has been deployed by The British, using the Northern Hausa/Fulani to achieve "Divide and steal" while the North unfortunately enjoy "Divide and rule" while the British enjoys the oil, the Hausa/Fulani enjoy Laziness and lack of development. This among other things make any agitation for self determination from anyone of the old Eastern region to be met with violence by the Hausa/Fulanis.
The people of the old Eastern region are subjugated and not allowed to agitate for any form of self determination and any form of it is violently suppressed with strong support and guidance of the British.
