Is The Uromi (Edo State) Incident A Pretext For Another GENOCIDAL Massacre Of Biafrans By The British And Nigerian Governments? (Part 1)

The impact, role, function, and benefit of internet-birthed social media, especially to Biafrans, remain unquantifiable, unrivalled, unequalled, unparalleled, and unsurpassed.

 

The British Government used a lack of media platforms for Biafrans to manipulate public opinion. Through the instrumentality of the Devil's mouthpiece, @BBCWorld, and their media outlets, along with the British-controlled South Western Nigeria's Lagos-Ibadan expressway brown envelope gutter media, they convinced Nigerians that the NATIONAL REVOLUTION, carried out by young military officers for the benefit of a Yoruba leader, Awolowo, was an IGBO COUP. 

 

This malevolent and malicious fabrication was achievable because of the consistency and repetitive frequency with which the falsehood was disseminated by/from all the available media platforms, especially @BBCWorld, without any challenge or contrary opinion or view made the public believe or accept that the fallacious information about the revolution being an Igbo Coup was factual.

 

It was a lack of media platform or outlet that prevented or impeded Biafrans from reporting or even communicating among themselves the known and impending massacre of Igbos by the rest of Nigerians, especially Northerners, in the name of vengeful response (retaliation) against the Igbos, when Britain, through their @BBCWorld, had incited them enough.

 

The inability of Igbos (Biafrans) to access any media outlet with which to ventilate their views or counter the British/Nigerian devilish propaganda was solely responsible for the continuation of the massacre of Igbos after Britain had compelled Gowon to repudiate (reject) the ABURI ACCORD that had already been signed. 

 

The fact that Igbos (Biafrans) had no access to any media frustrated their efforts to let the world know that Britain was using the cover of the Nigerian Government to commit the WORST DEGREE of genocide in modern times against #Biafrans (Igbos). 

 

It was equally lack of media platform on the side of Biafrans that enabled Britain, through the Nigerian Government, to introduce and sustain all the obnoxious and unscrupulous policies like EXCLUSIVE LIST, Allocation Formula, Quota System, State of Origin, Catchment Area, etc. Remember that it was because of the EXCLUSIVE LIST that the state governments (with Biafra land as the target) could not construct/repair certain roads in their states, generate electricity, operate airlines, build refineries, build/operate airports, railways, seaports, shipping lines, or even create vigilante groups.

 

It was still the inaccessibility of media outlets by Biafrans that made the continuation of the various forms and phases of genocide against Biafrans, like geographical, political, economic, social, and cultural genocide by the British and Nigerian governments, be introduced, flourish, and be sustained.

 

All these were possible because Britain, because of her VESTED INTEREST in Biafra's OIL AND GAS, had/has been using her military, diplomatic, media, and technological might against Biafrans, including applying same to truncate, frustrate, whittle, stifle, suffocate, and extinguish Biafra's #SELF_DETERMINATION project. 

All the above situations have significantly, if not totally, changed because of the availability of internet-born social media.
