The haunting tragedy of a Nigeria...

BRITAIN creates a predatory estate it calls Nigeria, a name cavalierly concocted from one of the derivatives from the racist, dehumanising pan-European-created “n” epithet with edited part of word “area” added on to emphasise the conquered African peoples’ domicility, and employs an equally predatory and expansionist but African-based Hausa-Fulani/islamists originally from Futa Djallon highlands in contemporary Guinea-Conakry, 1500 miles from the west, to murder indigenous Igbo people at will to keep the estate in business in perpetuity. For the Igbo, the resistance and overcoming from nïgériana is undoubtedly existential; they are clearly the authors of their freedom which, thankfully, 51 years later, is on the cards. Igbo freedom from this haematophagous monster is the great African story of this century.
