Simon Ekpa, a pro-Biafra agitator and separatist, has told the United Kingdom’s Monarchy under the leadership of King Charles III that the indigenous people of Biafra should be given a referendum.
Indigenous people of different parts of the world whom the British Crown colonised, exploited, enslaved, killed and stole their resources to develop the British Empire, have been writing to you, justifiably seeking monetary compensation and/or an apology. On the contrary, We, the Indigenous People of Biafra, are neither seeking monetary compensation nor an apology from your empire.
Nigeria is made up of several nation-states, distinct and parallel with dangerous diversity. There is no commonality between the people of the Southern and Northern protectorates. Hence, the Amalgamation was very selfishly and wickedly conceived and implemented without due consideration given to the distinct cultures of each group. This explains why it was hurriedly signed into law without consulting the indigenous people.
We wish to remind you that Biafrans occupy the territories of the Old Eastern Region of Nigeria and are estimated at over 75 million people, some living in Nigeria and others dispersed worldwide. Biafra existed as an independent nation from 1966 to 1970, when Nigeria, Britain and their allies fought Biafra and annexed Biafra into Nigeria in 1970.
The Indigenous People of Biafra insist that because of the gross injustice, human rights abuses, tribal supremacy, fanaticism, ethnocentrism and class bigotry, we are determined to exit Nigeria. In 2016, more than one hundred and sixty Biafran youths were shot down in cold blood at Ngwa High School, Aba. The Army declared Operation Python Dance 1&2, in which they stormed the home of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu , killing over fifty Biafran youths. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu escaped assassination by the whiskers. The Army went to Uzouwani in Enugu State and massacred over one hundred Biafran youths. They did the same at Eheamufu, Izombe and Aguleri.
