AS I show in
the essay in the following link (http://re-thinkingafrica.blogspot.com/2015/05/blog-post_7.html),
genocidist Nigeria, in 1999, declared 29 May of the year its “democracy day” as an additional tool in its murderous arsenal to deny and erase 29 May 1966, day it and co-genocidist state Britain launched the Igbo genocide, from history and public consciousness. Twenty-nine years earlier, 1970, soon after its end of phases I-III of the genocide (12 January 1970), murdering 3.1 million Igbo people, the genocidists had abolished the teaching of history in its schools as the key feature of this denialist project.

Failed mission
Two reasons account for the génocidaires’ abandonment of their 29 May so-called democracy day on 6 June 2018:
Two reasons account for the génocidaires’ abandonment of their 29 May so-called democracy day on 6 June 2018:
1. The indefatigably resilient tenor of the politics of the
Biafra freedom movement with its heightened, pinpointed focus on the dates of
29 May and 30 May (Heroes Day) on the Biafra calendar, particularly
in these last three years of the jihadist Muhammadu Buhari-led regime, has so
saturated the news cycle every month of May since that it makes nonsense of the
denialist theatrics of Nigeria’s 29 May “democracy day”.
2. The génocidaires high command is currently ravaged by a
grave crisis not seen in at least 30 years, exacerbated, pointedly, by the devastatingly
parallel murder campaigns by the jihadist terrorists Fulani militia and Boko Haram (2 of the 5 deadliest terrorist organisations in the world) in Nigeria’s
northcentral, northeast and the eastcentral Benue valley regions. These terrorists are allied more ideologically to the Fulani wing of the genocidist amalgam led by
Buhari. Olusegun Obasanjo, a Yoruba, but a very influential member of the high
command who crucially supported ex-US President Obama and ex-British Prime
Minister Cameron’s imposition of Buhari as head of regime in March 2015, has informed
Buhari that he won’t now endorse a “continuation” of the latter’s regime beyond
March 2019. It was Obasanjo, as head of regime, who had decreed 29 May as “democracy day” back in 1999. Buhari’s abrogation
of 19 years of regime status placed on this date is therefore an embittered response
to Obasanjo’s decision not to back his post-2019 leadership ambitions.
IN yet
another act in these génocidaires’ bizarre enchantment to the theatre of “democracy
day”-declarations, Buhari, just as Obasanjo, has himself decreed 12 June as the latest Nigeria’s “democracy day” – a desperate, cruedly opportunistic attempt by Buhari to appeal to the wider Yoruba population for support for 2019
as 12 June itself is a day of remembrance in Yoruba history.
