the longest and most gruesome in contemporary history, executed on the ground in
Biafra by the Nigeria military and its duo-terrorist adjuncts Fulani militia
and Boko Haram (2 of the 5 deadliest terrorist organisations in the world

Nigeria’s state of siege imposed over all of Biafra since 13 January 1970,
despite Britain’s instrumentalist coordinating role of this genocide by
successive governments since Harold Wilson’s in May 1966, very hardworking
Igbo students have consistently exercised a stellar performance over Nigerian
students in all key categories of the education enterprise – from infant/primary to
university/other tertiary.

open up continents of creativity and transformation for its young people that will have tremendous impact across the African World and the rest of humanity.
