Herbert Ekwe-Ekwe(For Biafra: ... Uzo Egonu, Exodus [1970])
BESIDES ALL the lead-countries involved in the Igbo genocide which have apparently had or still appear to have their comeuppance as a result, we demonstrate forthwith that each lead-personage and a number of others involved in perpetuating this heinous crime against humanity has had their life/life’s vital interests impacted upon quite devastatingly for their roles in the genocide and in some examples have undergone a spectacular collapse.
We start with the so graphically dramatic case of Olusegun Obasanjo, one of the most viciously hate-ridden Igbophobists of the Igbo genocide on the ground assemblage in Nigeria, who the perceptive sociologist and criminologist Biko Agozino aptly reminds us of in his “Why Obasanjo may be heading to hell”, http://massliteracy.blogspot.com.br/2013/08/why-obasanjo-may-be-heading-to-hell.html –accessed 18 December 2014).
1. Olusegun Obasanjo (Genocidist commander, south Biafra, who ordered the shooting down of an international Red Cross DC-7 relief-carrying aircraft to the blockaded and bombarded Biafrans near Eket, south Biafra, on 5 June 1969; for an update on this fellow, see, for instance, daughter Iyabo Obasanjo’s December 2013 open letter to her father, http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/12/iyabo-obasanjo-writes-father-says-dear-daddy-dont-nigeria/ – accessed 18 December 2013)
2. Murtala Muhammed (genocidist commander, northwestcentral Biafra and commander of brigade that carried out the 7 October 1967 mass execution of hundreds of Igbo boys and men at Asaba, west Oshimili River, Oshimili Delta, Biafra)(Olusegun Obasanjo: ... obusonjo genocidist commander, south Biafra)
3. Harold Wilson (British prime minister, architect of Igbo genocide from his London offices and home, 3ooo miles away from Biafra, who embarked on the
Igbo genocide with the recorded death decree target of a half “a million
dead Biafrans” [see Roger Morris, Uncertain
Greatness: Henry Kissinger and American Foreign Policy, London and New
York: Quartet Books, 1977, p. 122], representing 4.2 per cent of the Igbo population at this time, realises
6-9 months after, 12 January 1970, that his co-Nigerian genocidists on the
ground of lead-Fulani and Yoruba and Edo and Jukun and Urhobo and Bachama
and Hausa and Tiv and Nupe nations have instead murdered 3.1 million Igbo
people – 2.6 million more than his dreadful tally desire or 25 per cent of the total
Igbo population; definitely, the Nigerians have handsomely obliged their
“massa” Harold Wilson’s Igbo death commission... A much perversely delighted Harold Wilson soon after recalls in his memoirs,
published in 1971, that the Nigerian military expended more small arms
ammunition in its campaign to achieve this envisaged annihilative goal in
Biafra than the amount used by the British armed forces “during
the whole” of the 1939-1945 war [see Harold Wilson, Labour
Government, 1964-1970: A Personal Record, London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1971, p. 630, added emphasis])
4. Ibrahim Taiwo (parallel commander of genocidist brigade that carried out the 7 October 1967 mass execution of hundreds of Igbo boys and men at Asaba, west Oshimili River, Oshimili Delta, Biafra)(Harold Wilson: “would accept a half million dead Biafrans if that was what it took...”)
5. Leonid Brezhnev
6. Abdel Gamal Nasser
7. Adesanya Maja Adekunle (On the ground genocidist trooper “boy-boy” Adesanya Maja
Adekunle who was engaged in the slaughter theater in south Biafra in
1968 was so enthralled by his “massa” Harold Wilson’s notorious directive that he
publicly reminded the world, in a news conference attended largely by British
and other foreign correspondents, of the definitive goal of
this genocide: “We shoot at everything that
moves [in Igboland, and when our forces march into the centre of I[g]bo territory, we shoot
at everything, even at things that don’t move” (The Economist, London, 24 August 1968).

8. Yakubu Gowon (head of genocidist-prosecuting regime, Lagos, Nigeria)
9. Hosni Mubarak (Former commander, Egyptian air force [and later head of regime until swept away by the mass Egypt’s uprising, February 2011] whose squadrons of pilots, loaned to the genocidists, flew Soviet-built MiGs from the then East Germany [GDR] and engaged in the cowardly carpet bombings of Biafran markets, hospitals, city centres, churches, shrines, children’s playgrounds, villages, farms throughout the duration of the genocide)

10. Tony Enaharo (genocidist roving envoy)
12. Ahmadou Ahidjo (head of regime, Cameroon)
14. Obafemi Awolowo (chief genocidist “theorist”, head of finance ministry, and deputy head of genocidist prosecuting junta who desperately craved to be post-genocide head of regime, Nigeria, and desperately failed)
(Obafemi Awolowo: ... génocidaires’ “theorist”, accounts’ sequestrator, £20.00-enforcer)
15. Gbadamosi King (genocidist air force pilot who shot down the international Red Cross DC-7 relief-bearing aircraft over the skies of south Biafra, 5 June 1969)
16. Muhammadu Shuwa (genocidist commander, north and northcentral Biafra)
17. Hafez al-Assad (head of regime, Syria, father of Bashar al-Assad)
18. Illiya Bisalla (genocidist commander, northcentral Biafra)
19. Sekou Toure (head of regime, Guinea-Conakry)
20. Houari Boumedienne (head of regime, Algeria)
21. Diallo Telli (Stridently anti-Igbo Fulani Guinea-Conakry official who was virulently opposed to discussing the Igbo genocide at any forums of the Organisation of African Unity where he was secretary general during the period. Telli was executed six years after the genocide in his Guinea state by head of regime Sekou Toure for “involvement” in a Fulani-coup attempt to seize power in Conakry.
22. Ismail al-Azhari (head of regime, the Sudan)
23. Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (king of Saudi Arabia, 1964-1975)
24. Allison Akene Ayida (author of the tellingly ironic title, Rise and fall of Nigeria, 1990, co-principal secretary, genocidist-prosecuting regime)
(Allison Ayida: Rise and Fall of Nigeria [(1990] – tellingly ironical for a book title on Nigeria written by none other than Ayida, given the author’s notorious role in the Igbo genocide)
25. David Cameron (Former British prime minister who, with US President Obama, imposed Muhammadu Buhari, one of the vilest Nigerian genocidist operatives throughout these 50 years of the Igbo genocide, as head of Nigeria regime, March 2015 [since taking power, the Buhari regime’s military and other genocidist assets, true to type, have murdered hundreds of Igbo across occupied Biafra without any condemnation by the Cameron government]; Cameron resigned his prime minister’s position precipitously on 13 July 2016 after losing the “Brexit” referendum on British membership of the European Union)
(David Cameron: ... imposes genocidist operative Buhari as head of Nigeria regime in March 2015 ... precipitous resignation as British prime minister in July 2016 after British majority electorate votes to leave the EU in a referendum against Cameron’s own political goal of “EU-remain”)
26. Hillary Clinton (Former US secretary of state, Obama administration, January 2009-January 2013 – remained unrelentingly adamant, throughout her tenure, of not designating the islamist, northcentral/northeast-based insurgent organisation, Boko Haram, a terrorist organisation despite the latter’s murder of thousands of African peoples, overwhelmingly Igbo, during the period [it wouldn’t be until November 2013 that the US declared Boko Haram “terrorist” because Washington judged the group was “{now} develop{ing} links with other {islamists} such as al-Qaeda … to wage a global jihad”]; on 8 November 2016, contrary to overwhelming opinion poll indicators and leading pundits’ analyses and predictions, Clinton received a crushing defeat in the US presidential election by anti-establishment rival candidate Donald Trump – Clinton had run her campaign on a political platform billed largely on the continuation of the cardinal policies of the Obama presidency which includes its unflinching support for the Nigeria genocidist regime)
(Hillary Clinton:... unrelenting adamance ... crushing defeat)
27. Barack Hussein Obama (US President who, with David Cameron, former British prime minister, imposed Muhammadu Buhari, one of the vilest Nigerian genocidist operatives during these 50 years of the Igbo genocide, as head of Nigeria regime, March 2015 [since taking power, the Buhari regime’s military and other genocidist assets, true to type, have murdered hundreds of Igbo people across occupied Biafra without any condemnation by the Obama administration]; Obama is the first African-descent president of the US republic in 233 years of existence and his unflinching support for an African-led genocidist regime in Africa waging a genocide against an African people is surely an unconscionably abhorrent tragedy of his presidential legacy)
29. Muhammadu Buhari (Genocidist operative in the Nigeria military – right from the launch of the Igbo genocide on Sunday 29 May 1966 and during the Nigerian expansive trail of the mass slaughter of Igbo military and civilians alike in north and west Nigeria regions from 29 July 1966-5 July 1967 to encapsulate phases I-II of the genocide timeframe. During phase-III of the genocide, the invasion of Biafra, 6 July 1967-12 January 1970, Muhammadu Buhari was commander of a genocidist corps in north and northcentral Biafra, slaughtering to the hilt. Nigeria murdered 3.1 million Igbo people during these three phases of the genocide. As from 13 January 1970, beginning of phase-IV of the genocide, Buhari has adhered rigidly to or overseen the Nigeria regime’s blanket policy of non-development of occupied Biafra, the regime’s aggressive degradation of socioeconomic life in Biafra, and the regime’s exponential expropriation of the rich oil reserves of Biafra. Biafran assets looted by the occupation stand at US$1000 billion. This monstrously programmed pillaging of the wealthlands of Biafra since January 1970 by Fulani-led islamist jihadist Nigeria and their pan-African constituent nations allies particularly Yoruba, Edo, Jukun, Urhobo, Bachama, Nupe, Tiv, Jarawa, has nothing comparable in African history. Finally, since 13 January 1970, Buhari has exhibited a calculated, deafening silence over the course of the murder of additional tens of thousands of Igbo people across Nigeria but especially in his north Nigeria homeland by regime forces/allied forces including those massacred by the Boko Haram terrorist organisation, which he and other islamist jihadists in the region inaugurated as their grand fulanisation and islamisation of Nigeria. Since his imposition as Nigeria's head of regime in March 2015 by ex-US President Barack Hussein Obama and ex-British Prime Minister David Cameron, Muhammadu Buhari’s regime with his adjunct-genocidist Boko Haram and Fulani militia allies (two of the five deadliest terrorists organisations in the world presently [see Institute for Economics & Peace, “Global Terror Index 2015”, http://economicsandpeace.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Global-Terrorism-Index-2015.pdf , accessed 17 November 2015]) have murdered 3000 Igbo people in occupied Biafra. These murders have continued unabated.)(Barack Hussein Obama:... imposes genocidist operative Buhari ... unconscionable abhorrent tragedy of a presidential legacy)
28. Fulani islamist/jihadist, virulently anti-African grouping from Futa Djallon highlands, northwestcentral Africa, 1000 miles from their occupied north Nigeria, who have led this genocide for the past 53 years with their very loyal pan-African constituent allies especially Yoruba, Jukun, Edo, Hausa, Urhobo,Bachama, Nupe, Kanuri, have expansively murdered and murdered and murdered Igbo most monstrously that there appears, apparently, no remaining new regions of savagery to explore to deploy in this march. Or are there?
Be marooned in this quagmire or seek freedom by abandoning 53 years of Igbo genocide
EACH AND EVERYONE of these latter African peoples or nations must now know that it is trapped in the mephistophelian quagmire of British-created hotchpotch Nigeria precisely for committing this heinous crime of genocide against Igbo people, for murdering 3.1 million Igbo people in a frenzy during 44 months, Sunday 29 May 1966-12 January 1970, phases I-III, and then extending this odyssey of death by murdering tens of thousands of additional Igbo between 13 January 1970 and the present day. Each is assured that it will remain in there hopelessly indefinitely unless it, itself, abandons its half a century preoccupation to contribute its quota to wish to destroy one of Africa’s most talented, innovative and hardworking peoples. Each of these peoples must know that it has failed woefully to effectuate this goal of destroying Igbo people. No one can and will destroy the Igbo. The Igbo will ever remain triumphant. Unmistakably. There is no meaningful progress for Yoruba, Jukun, Edo, Hausa, Urhobo, Bachama, Nupe, except each, individually, as a people abandons its current genocidal march on Igbo people. Anyone of them ready to accept this move forward should contact, at once, the representatives of the Biafra freedom movement and discuss the terms of such a turning point of intent. These must include full reparations on the millions of the Igbo they have murdered in half a century, the billions of US dollars worth of legendary Igbo wealth they have plundered and transferred to their homelands, and the breathtaking vandalism of the dismantling of Igbo socioeconomics. Now is the time for this dash to alternative path to redemptive justice.(Nigeria: mephistophelian quagmire)
IF EVER there were any doubts, the evidence from the history of the Igbo genocide, so far, demonstrates the contrary, so clearly as illustrated above with regards to the range of fates of states and individuals involved in the genocide, as particularly the references show on Sekou Toure’s reprehensible execution of raving anti-Igboist Diallo Telli, the collapse of the Soviet Union, occuring within a decade of the death of Leonid Brezhnev, the unravelling of the state of Britain, the architect of the genocide, contemporaneously as the world has not known it in the past 300 years, underpinned by the staggeringly indescribable humiliation that this country has been subjected by key states and officials in the European Union over the former’s quest to leave the EU following a successful referendum, and Barack Hussein Obama’s appalling presidential legacy – namely, that no one, no agency, murders 3.1 million Igbo children, women and men and additional tens of thousands of Igbo in this foundational genocide of post-(European)conquest
Biafra restoration of Igbo independence
AS THE WORLD watches intensely, the now 50 million Igbo survivors of the genocide are individually and collectively involved in the current historic campaign for the restoration of their independence and justice... And Biafra will achieve this freedom and justice.
