Igbo vanguard on the move


Herbert Ekwe-Ekwe

BEGINNING in the early 1930s to October 1960, the Igbo nation played the vanguard role in the campaign for restoration-of-independence to terminate 100 years of the British conquest and occupation of the multiplicity of states and peoples of southwestcentral Africa region which the conqueror regime contemptuously tagged “Nigeria” – the “n*****” area/land, the egregious racist epithet

Britain responded with the genocide of the Igbo and employed its Fulani islamist/jihadist client on the ground, inveterately anti-African who hitherto opposed the restoration-of-independence drive,  and the Fulani’s enduringly loyal pan-African constituent nations’ allies in Nigeria (particularly Yoruba, Jukun, Tiv, Urhobo, Hausa, Edo, Jawara, Nupe, Kanuri, Bachama) to execute this unprecedented mass murder of a people in contemporary Africa history most brazenly. The genocidists slaughtered 3.1 million Igbo or 25 per cent of the Igbo population during the course of 44 months, 29 May 1966-12 January 1970, phases I-III. Tens of thousands of additional Igbo have been murdered subsequently, 13 January 1970-present day, phase-IV, as the genocide continues in its 53rd year.

IGBO PEOPLE have not only survived the genocide but are now in the vanguard to construct Biafra, an African peoples-centred state, that at once effectuates an African people’s control of its destiny not seen for centuries in Africa and the collapse of the Anglo/European World anti-African “Berlin-states” or constellation of EuroConqueror league states dotted across Africa such as that evidently bubonic encampment of doom the British labelled  “Nigeria”.
