Biafra-Britain relations: Abstract, Saturday 13 July 2019

Herbert Ekwe-Ekwe

THERE IS DEFINITELY no subject in these past 53 years, i.e., since the 29 May 1966 Anglo-Nigeria launch date of the Igbo genocide, this foundational genocide of post-(European)conquest Africa, in which the critical institutions of the British state including, particularly, political establishment,  academia, media, oil industry, the church, have all converged, unproblematically, to support as the perpetration of the Igbo genocide. For Britain, this genocide to destroy Igbo people, one of Africa’s most talented and enterprising peoples, is its envisaged path, in the post 1939-1945 war epoch, to control the lives and fortunes of African peoples ad infinitum. Igbo independence is therefore anathema to Britain (http://re-thinkingafrica.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/herbert-ekwe-ekwe-conquerors-concord-in.html). Without this British central role in the execution of the genocide, the field/on-the-ground Fulani islamist/jihadist-led génocidaires in Nigeria, this brazenly indolent and sleazy anti-African peoples’ grouping immanently obsequious to the diktats of its bature overlords, cannot continue to commit this crime against humanity much longer – definitely, not beyond a few weeks. The restoration of Igbo independence will surely inaugurate a strategic reordering of Biafra-Britain relations across the board which will have far-reaching consequences on the rest of the African World and elsewhere.
