A CALL ON THE UNITED NATIONS, ECOWAS, AND AFRICAN UNION TO LIVE UP TO THEIR MANDATE

A CALL ON  THE  UNITED  NATIONS, ECOWAS, AND  AFRICAN  UNION TO LIVE UP  TO  THEIR  MANDATE

8th May 2017

 He was an American. Bruce Mayrock. Born on the 6th of May 1949, 68 years ago, yet for the love of humanity and Biafrans, he sacrificed his life at the tender age of twenty.

 Many youths at that time were in the prime of youthful exuberance and boyish escapades, but this young man in the bid to draw attention to the ongoing genocide against Biafrans set himself ablaze in front of United Nations office, pleading earnestly that they save the lives of millions of  Biafran children, women, and men being massacred by the Nigerian evil state and their British ally. He was a very compassionate young American who never had any contact with Africa, nor with Biafrans whom, he died for.

 He aroused such emotions, yet after all these years, United Nations, Ecowas, African Union, have not done anything to address the plight of the bastardized Biafrans in Nigeria for which this young man died?

 Again, the occasion has arisen to correct past mistakes done to the indigenous people of Biafra, and the struggle as led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and avert future misdeeds. Yet, the world powers are still looking the other way. So we ask, why is it so? Why are they turning blind eyes when injustice and crime against humanity is being perpetrated against the innocent and helpless people?

 Why did they allow Brexit, for the British government to leave the European union? Currently, Scotland is agitating for a second referendum, yet Biafrans are not allowed to exercise their right to self-determination? Why was Cremea also granted the referendum that led her exit out of Ukraine?

 How, and why is the  Biafran self-determination bid tagged by BBC as secession? Why is the British exit from the EU or the Scotland move to be an independent state not termed secession? We are asking these question because it amounts to a great injustice to Biafra's peaceful demand of her legal rights. There is no difference between what Biafrans are asking for and what Scotland and Creamea asked for and got.

 Biafra predates Nigeria, and there is no justification in a white man coming all the way from Europe to create a nation by forcefully amalgamating people of diverse culture and value system.  How can a white European be the foundation of a black African race?

 Nigeria is a concoction brewed under deceit and fraud. This is an ill-conceived union and is not and has never been acceptable by our people. Little wonder, she is characterized by corruption, perdition, suppression and all degrees of oppression.

 We will continue to resist this forced marriage until the world sees the reason to dissolve it for good. This concoction is not working instead, it bequeaths pain, penury, and persecution to her unfortunate occupants. We want out!

 After all these years that Biafrans have been subjected to all manner of ethnic cleansing and genocide, we assume that you, the United Nations, ECOWAS, African Union are blind, deaf and dumb to the events happening around you. Biafrans have for a certainty brought the truth to the limelight; to your door steps, exposing the hidden history of our plight in this God forsaken contraption of evil Britain called Nigeria.

 All we are requesting, therefore, is that you set the stage for justice. Honor our request for a referendum as was given Britain in the EU and to Scotland. Give us a platform to make our choice. You promulgated the charter on the rights of the Indigenous Peoples to self-determination, why do you allow Africans to kill each other before implementing the law you passed.

 If you actually believe in your charter, do practice what you preach!
