DESPITE the ongoing Igbo genocide, 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 presently), despite the occupation of Biafra by Nigeria since 13 January 1970, despite 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.

Assets

In this 2019 West Africa School Certificate Examination, Chizobam Stephany Ugboaja (Jesuit Memorial College, Igwe Ocha, south Biafra) and Chukwuemeka Favour Alozie (Marist Brothers Juniorate, Uturu, east Biafra) came first and second, respectively, out of the total 1.6 million students examined. Ugboaja scored an “A1” or “distinction” in each of the nine subjects she entered for while Alozie scored eight “A1”s from his own nine subjects. 

IGBO youths constitute one of Africa’s best-developed multidisciplinary humanpower conglomeration of assets. Igbo people can’t wait for the restoration of the independence of Biafra to 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.

Biafra resistance movement pre-empts its return!

Herbert Ekwe-Ekwe

The Biafra freedom movement continues to challenge and override the cardinal tenets that define comparable liberatory trajectories of contemporary history. It has remained fiercely peaceful and resilient despite the scorched-earth savagery of the Nigeria genocidist military and its Boko Haram and Fulani militia allies – the genocidists have murdered 2000 Igbo since October 2015 with scant condemnation from the rest of the world including co-genocidist ally Britain.

USUALLY, a liberation movement “returns home” on the morrow of victory! No, not the Biafra freedom movement which is already emplaced throughout Biafra, as the world observes, setting up structures and processes of restoration-of-independence before formal restoration...  Scholars and students of liberation are gasping to catch up with learning what new breaks or departures this movement is teaching the rest of the world on how to deal with anti-human regimes especially the genocidist caste à la Nigériana.
