On this very eve of ofe nsala day – Anambra region, southwest Biafra

Herbert Ekwe-Ekwe

Tomorrow, Saturday 18 November 2017: Stay home … Stay home … Stay home …

1. Stay home with your loved ones and keep away from the roads and streets now taken over by the Hausa-Fulani/islamist-led genocidist Nigeria military/Fulani militia adjunct. The génocidaires have effectively deployed a battle group throughout the Anambra region to continue its murderous mission in history, begun 200 years ago when it departed its Futa Djallon homeland in northwest Africa: terror, conquests, occupations, expropriations, decadence, genocide… They, not Europe, not the United States, not any extracontinental imperialism, constitute, currently, the principal retrograde agent of underdevelopment across the stretches of northcentral Africa.

2. Stay home with your loved ones and enjoy a scrumptious ofe nsala dinner. Writing recently in The National (20 September 2017), Dave McEwan Hill discusses the “strongly democratic … meritocracy … and sturdy self relian[t] Igbo … ambitious, imaginative and hard-working …” Hill is of course reflecting on the salient features that characterise Igbo national life, shaped by over 1000 years of history of republican democracy. In fact the planned Igbo boycott of tomorrow’s fraudulent Nigeria génocidaires’ run election in Anambra is acutely demonstrable of this attribute of Igbo democratic history.

3. Stay home with your loved ones tomorrow, Saturday 18 November – be wise, as usual, just as you stayed home on 30 May 2017 with such phenomenal political consequences advancing the march of the Biafra freedom movement.

4. The restoration of the independence of Biafra is unstoppable.

Two important dates in this week’s Biafra calendar: Chinua Achebe’s birthday, Ofe nsala day

Herbert Ekwe-Ekwe

Dates

1. Thursday 16 November 2017: Chinua Achebe’s birthday – commemorating the 87th birthday of one of Biafra’s preeminent intellectuals and Father of African Literature

(Father of African Literature)

2. Saturday 18 November 2017: Ofe nsala day – the Biafra freedom movement’s organised day of mass boycott of Hausa-Fulani/islamist-led genocidist Nigeria’s occupation regime-“election” in Biafra’s Anambra southwest region.

It should be noted that this lead grouping of the occupation which is arranging the Anambra election chimera has no tradition of democratic discourse or engagement whatsoever in its brutish history of terror, conquests, occupations, expropriations, decadence, genocide… At the end of such an exercise in the past, it usually appoints the individual/“party” that it reckons will enable it to police its occupation of Biafra more ruthlessly.

(Nnamdi Kanu: ... leader of Indigenous People of Biafra and freedom broadcaster, Radio Biafra)

THIS IS precisely why the Biafra freedom movement insists on a referendum, nothing else including the occupation’s bogus elections, to democratically secure the next crucial phase of the restoration-of-independence process. It has therefore called on the Anambra population to instead stay firmly home with loved ones throughout this day and enjoy a delicious dinner and don’t partake in the desperate occupation’s strategy to prolong its murderous stay***** which is now clearly unsustainable.

*****INDEED in these past two years of the Muhammadu Buhari regime, beginning in November 2015, the Nigeria genocidist military and its Fulani militia adjunct have murdered over 2000 Biafrans in scorched-earth campaigns across the country – marking it one of the bloodiest stretches during the course of phase IV (launched on 13 January 1970, following phases I-III, 29 May 1966-12 January 1970, when Nigeria and co-genocidist Britain murdered 3.1 million Biafrans or 25 per cent of the Igbo population) of the Igbo genocide in which tens of thousands of Biafrans have been murdered. Since 14 September 2017, the genocidists have murdered hundreds of Biafrans including the attack on the family home of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, when scores of Kanu’s relatives and friends were murdered. Scores of others are still unaccounted for. The whereabouts of Kanu himself and parents are still unknown since these bombardments. None of the regimes in the administrative regions of Biafra, essentially quisling-of-the-occupation, has condemned any of these spates of 24 months of slaughtering of their own people.
