Late Ooni of Ife's Abobaku Flees to Synagogue Prophet Tb Joshua for deliverance

Biafrans, opted for self-determination after a long period of
heart-searching and after making desperate efforts to save the Federation
of Nigeria from disintegration. More than any other people in the former
Federation, Biafrans contributed their human and material resources to the
cause of national unity. From 1914, when the British amalgamated Northern
and Southern Nigeria, Biafrans began to leave their homeland in large
numbers to settle in several places among the Fulani-Hausa in the North and
the Yoruba in the West. In those areas they opened up new avenues of
commerce and industry and at the same time built new homes and erected
places of worship and institutions of learning. By so doing they came to
acquire a real stake in the progress and well-being of ALL parts of the
country. They regarded themselves as citizens of Nigeria to an extent that
no other group in the country ever did.
Wherever Biafrans sojourned their industry, resourcefulness and drive
marked them out from their neighbours. In the North, particularly, the
distinction was enhanced by religion; for while the majority of the
Fulani-Hausa population were Muslims the Biafrans were and still remain
mostly Christians. In addition, the progress and dynamism of Biafrans
contrasted with the tardiness and conservatism of their neighbours who were
generally unable to achieve the same standards of efficiency and
prosperity. The envy and animosity the Biafrans excited were manifested
periodically, such as in the massacre of Biafrans by Northern Nigerians at
Jos in 1945 and at Kano in 1953.
While Biafrans abroad were thrusting ahead and setting the pace for the
economic development of Nigeria, those in Biafra itself were diligently
exploiting the human and material resources of their homeland. Their ready
acceptance of modern ideas and techniques brought them to the forefront of
economic and political activities. Democratic by tradition, they championed
democratic ideals and at the same time advocated the concept of a united
country. They resolutely opposed the reactionary ideas of the Fulani-Hausa
ruling elite which controlled the North and dominated the Federal
Government. They also resisted the vicious and unscrupulous methods by
which the Northerners sought to perpetuate their hold on the political
strings of Nigeria. It was largely this confrontation between the forces of
progress, represented by Biafrans, and those of reaction, represented by
the Fulani-Hausa which culminated in the Nigerian census crisis of 1963-64,
the Federal election crisis of 1964 and the Western Nigeria election crisis
of 1965 which brought the military to power in January 1966.
During the massacre of 29 May 1966, which was the reaction of the
Fulani-Hausa to Unification Decree No. 34 of the Supreme Military Council,
Biafrans were the sole victims and there was no discrimination with regard
to their individual ethnic origin. The massacre of Biafran army officers
and men by their Northern "comrades-in-arms" on 29 July 1966, and of
Biafran civilians later, followed the same pattern: they were killed only
because they were Biafrans.
Those who survived the pogrom fled back to their homeland disillusioned and
embittered. Their investments in other parts of the Federation had been
destroyed and those whom they held dear had been killed or maimed. The
families in Biafra who received them back shared their grief, and hardly
any family in Biafra escaped the loss of a member or the return of a
destitute relative needing relief. The Northern Assailants showed no sign
of remorse. On the contrary they were jubilant over the expulsion of the
Biafrans in their midst. The Biafrans themselves would never think of going
back to expose themselves to the risk of a repeat of their previous
harrowing experience. Thus the pogrom of 1966 resulted in an irreversible
movement of population.
In spite of all they had suffered during earlier massacres and during the
more recent pogrom, the people of Biafra sought no revenge but strove
strenuously to find a peaceful solution which would keep Nigeria together.
The Northerners, on the contrary, rejected every overture, ignored the
implementation of agreements which had been mutually arrived at, and relied
on their military occupation of Lagos and Western Nigeria to humiliate
Biafrans even further.
Two of these agreements stand out clearly. As far back as 9 August 1966
representatives of the Military Governors and Lt.-Col. Gowon agreed in
Lagos that, inter alia "Immediate steps should be taken to post military
personnel to barracks within their respective regions of origin". It was
generally recognised that tension would be reduced and Biafrans would have
less fear of attending meetings elsewhere in Southern Nigeria if this
measure was taken. The implementation of this agreement was pressed on
numerous occasions from August 1966 until the collapse of the Federation,
but was totally ignored by the Northern "conquerors". Again, after long
persuasion, the military rulers of Northern Nigeria agreed to attend a
conference at Aburi, Ghana, in January 1967. Far-reaching decisions aimed
at restoring the Federation to normalcy were taken at this meeting. As is
now well-known, the Northern military rulers at first repudiated the
decisions as soon as they returned to Lagos but, following further
persuasion both from within and outside Nigeria, proceeded to implement
only a portion of the Aburi decisions. At the same time the Federal
Government contrary to an Aburi decision stopped paying its staff serving
in Biafra, and withheld the Biafran share of Federal revenues.
The protests of Biafrans against the attitude of the North were met with
threats of military subjugation. The proposal that Nigerian military
lenders should meet in the presence of named African heads of States was
spurned. The stoppage of salaries of Biafrans in the Federal public Service
and Corporation compelled the Government of Biafra to pay these salaries in
addition to bearing the financial burden of rehabilitating other refugees
and displaced persons. Then the Lagos Government continued to withhold the
periodic payments and remittances from Federal funds due to the Government
of Biafra, the Biafran Government was forced to take steps to stop the
continued accumulation of debt by the Lagos Government by promulgating the
Revenue Collection Edict. Thereafter, the Lagos Government mounted a
blockade aimed at the economic strangulation of Biafra.
It is this calculated and systematic persecution of Biafrans in the former
Federation of Nigeria that has driven us to seek justice and salvation in
independence. Molested, taunted, hounded, murdered and finally driven away
from other parts of Nigeria, Biafrans have been compelled to acknowledge
that close association with Fulani-Hausa is fraught with disaster. We have
therefore taken up the challenge to our liberty and dedicated ourselves to
the struggle for our survival.
Some well-meaning observers have expressed doubts as to whether the
Republic of Biafra can survive both economically and politically as an
independent, sovereign state. Firstly, they hint that Biafra had been so
tied to the economy of the rest of Nigeria that if the federal links were
severed Biafrans would suffer a fall in their present standard of living.
In the second place they have tried to emphasize that Biafra consists of a
composite group of people who lack the attributes of a nation. Such views
have obviously arisen from an imperfect understanding of Biafra, past and
present.
It is, among other things, in order to enlighten the enquirer and reassure
the waverer that this publication is being issued. In the following pages
the reader will discover the real Biafra, a country which has through the
ages undergone a political as well as an economic transformation resulting
in the emergence of a virile and united nation that is capable of
sustaining itself in the committee of nations.
