Indigenous people of Biafra Communique on the Fulani Herdsmen Invasion of Biafraland

9 May 2016 IUC admin 706 Comments
viii.   Demand that any national cow production policy in Nigeria should start from the rehabilitation of the war destroyed Eastern Nigerian cattle industry as Ademola Raji had promised on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria. Our type of ‘settled-cow’; civilized Ehi, should be adopted by the Fulani to allow them settle down in their own homeland.
 
ix.        The Nimbo people knew armed enemies were at their gates, yet were unable to defend themselves. Instead they waited, forlornly, for the protection of a State that is unable or unwilling to protect them. The lesson of hapless Nimbo is the lesson of Bosnia that suffered genocide in failed Yugoslavia.  Those in a failing or failed State who are unable to defend themselves should expect genocide, pogrom or enslavement. The Igbo nation and indigenous peoples of Nigeria must learn this lesson and live by it.
 
x.           Only a tree fails to react when foretold of its own cut-down. Self-defense is a normal reaction of the living. Invasions have consequences. Our people and communities should defend themselves from invaders and drive them as far away as possible for our long term safety and survival.
 
Finally, as the elders say “The patient is bound to die whose doctor and poisoner are one!” The present situation in Nigeria in which those who traditionally seek to oppress others control the instruments for the protection of all is unhealthy. Nigeria must become, urgently, reordered.  Particularly all indigenous peoples of Nigeria must be accorded their internationally recognized rights to self-determination. This will allow them to enter into viable Nation-State associations that will protect their lives, land and culture, while realizing the synergy inherent in larger politico-economic entities, which some people advocate. Ignorant people confuse the right to self-determination with automatic secession, without factoring in the well-being of people into their thinking. It must be stated here; for the records that the Igbo people of Eastern Nigeria; at home and in the Diaspora, created the very idea of pan-Africanism and are its chief proponents. Those who are pretending to be ‘national unifiers’ within the current Nigerian anti-African Berlin State neither love Nigeria nor Africa, but themselves and their foreign masters. We seek a unified Africa; and large African States in freedom and justice for all, including for ourselves.
