Fragmentation, Gerrymandering, And Balkanization of Biafra Land
While baying for vengeance, filled with fury of humiliation and thirst for the acquisition and perpetual possession of Biafra land as eternal inheritance, Britain began to cut the land of Biafra into pieces, for their desired eternal possession and unending benefits.
~Equatorial Guinea (Fernando Po)
The rich Island of Equatorial Guinea, due to its isolation and vulnerability, became one of the early casualties of European conquistadorial adventures. Because they saw how separated the island was, and how an important determinant it could constitute in economic calculations, they severed the place, as a different country altogether, notwithstanding the fact that it was just a part of the Biafran nation (Igbo land).
~South Western Cameroon (Ambazonia)
South Western Cameroon used to be part of Eastern Nigeria, until recently. Remember that we have reminded the world that the reason for the WW1 and WW2 was mainly for the establishment of superiority in who would possess and controls the enormous African resources. With Germany defeated and relegated, Britain which "inherited" Germany's African assets, had the opportunity of further exerting vengeance on Biafra by cutting off Ambazonia from Eastern Nigeria.
~North Central Nigeria (Benue_Platue)
When Europe, particularly Britain, saw the great force the Igbos constituted, and the colossal advantage being unified gave them, they continued the process of cutting Igbo land further and further. In the case of Benue_Platue, Britain saw that the vast land called the North was more like a desert, with almost no human habitation.
Having programmed to skew every political and economic advantage in favour of the North, as a tool for the control of the contraption they just concocted in their so-called amalgamation, they cut a large chunk of Igbo land, and gifted the North. This was not just to boost the population of the north, and conversely dwindle that of Biafra, but equally, and most importantly, to reduce the geographical spread of Igbo land. Therefore, today, in Kogi, Benue, and Plateau states, you don't just have Igbos named Okeke, Ifeanyi, Chukwuma, Ngozi, etc, but you equally have those who are Igbos with identity crisis, resulting from decades of cultural torture and coercion.
~Midwestern Nigeria (Bendel, that is, Edo, Delta)
In order to advance and probably consolidate what Britain must have considered a major subtle victory over the Biafran nation (Igbos) through AMALGAMATION, they set the boundary of Igboland from Ubani (ỤBA ANI, endless Land, Bayelsa, Brass), to River Niger.
The rest of that land, which is more in size and other ramifications than over ten countries in Europe, and sometimes more in size than a combination of some European countries, is no longer part of Igbo territory, but because it is across River Niger, it is now Yoruba land in Western region. Therefore, the whole stretch of Igboland that includes today's Edo, Delta, and parts of Ondo State, occupied by Ijaw, is no longer Biafra, but Oduduwa.
It was this part of the Western region that was later, through a plebiscite, created as the Midwestern Region of Nigeria, though the Ijaw part of Ondo State is still counted as YORUBA land today. From creation of Midwestern region, that part of Biafra land has been butchered further as the present Edo and Delta States, with high tendencies of identity crisis, resulting from many accumulated psychological bombardments.
Don't ever forget that Britain was able to ascertain and identify these Biafrans after extensive research and analysis of their homogeneity, cultural similarities or identity, commonality in value system and traditional practices, which include, but not limited to one-week four Market days, same traditional worship, tying of two-piece wrapper by married women, and other traditional practices and prohibitions.
Minorities
Having successfully carved out the peripheral parts of Biafra (Igbo nation), the British, still filled with vindictiveness, went further to the coastal regions of #Biafra, to instigate and entrench enmity between them (coastal regions) and their kinsmen in the upland parts.
This they did by CLASSIFYING them (from coastal regions) as MINORITIES, and started pointing out to them how they are in danger in their different-dialect-speaking kinsmen in the upland, with whom they have been sharing everything in common since creation, but are safe with them, the plunderers and exploitative parasites, who came from thousands of kilometres away. Britain even set up one commission called Willink's Commission, "to Protect the Interest of the so-called Minorities in the East".
Note that in the East, there were/are, only Igbos of various dialectal differences, whom the British, for their devilish agenda, called ETHNIC groups. They are not ethnic groups. They are merely tribes (dialectal variations of the Great Igbo nation).
But in the Western and Northern Regions, there were/are clearly a myriad of ethnic groups that not only appeared physically distinctive, but equally distinguishable in all other ramifications. Britain did not establish any commission to protect the interests of THESE VAST MINORITIES in the Northern and Western Regions of Nigeria.
It can be seen, and safely ascertained, that the aim of all these British shenanigans had/has been to entrench, and forcefully, if not viciously, drive their satanic DIVIDE AND RULE agenda, with which they had penetrated any nation that they ever wanted to destroy. This strategy was very effective in the past, up to the recent past, because of inaccessibility to media.
But presently, because of the internet-birthed social media, many of those archaic strategies don't always yield those desired results, as many of them are exposed and shot down at conception.
