Mike Arnold, a former mayor of Blanco City, Texas, has said that the British government has no interest in Biafra because it refuses to give “Biafrans” reparations of almost $6 trillion.
In a post headlined “Britain’s bill is due,” which was posted on his verified Facebook page, Arnold made the assertion.
An independent Biafra nation may seek reimbursement from Britain for the sum, according to the former mayor, who is known to be sympathetic to the Biafra struggle. He claims that the sum—twice Britain’s yearly GDP—will be the biggest reparations claim in human history.
Declaring that the treatment of the South-East Nigerian population by the British “is a vast, horrific, ongoing evil,” Arnold linked the merger of the southern and northern protectorates in 1914 to what he called Britain’s crime against the Igbo people.
“In 1914, Lord Lugard drew a line around two incompatible civilizations, the Islamic Caliphate of the North and the Christian and traditional peoples of the South, called it Nigeria, and handed it to the Crown,” was part of his remark. No one was questioned. From its inception, the device was intended to maintain administrative control over the Caliphate and the supply of oil to London.
Following the death of tens of thousands of Igbo people in northern pogroms, Britain intervened when the Southeast attempted to depart in 1967. “The only immediate British interest in Nigeria is that the Nigerian economy should be brought back to a condition in which our substantial trade and investment in the country can be further developed, and particularly so we can regain access to important oil installations,” according to their own declassified Foreign Office documents.
He pointed out that 84% of Nigeria’s oil output at the time was under the authority of Shell-BP, which was partially owned by the British government, with two-thirds of that production occurring in Biafran territory.
“So the Nigerian federal military was secretly armed by Harold Wilson’s Labour government,” Arnold continued. Millions of ammunition rounds. machine guns in the hundreds. Thousands of artillery and mortar munitions. aircraft. personnel carriers with armor. While lying about it while in Parliament
Biafra was placed under blockade by Nigeria. Food was unable to enter. The medication was unable to enter. It wasn’t an accident that caused the famine. It was the plan. Wilson rejected MPs’ pleas for him to stop, citing an estimated two million famine deaths.
He quietly consented to provide Nigeria with planes for the first time two days later. Wilson referred to the shocking pictures of skeletal Biafran youngsters as “propaganda.” Three million or more people perished. Children make up the majority of them.
The oil was pocketed by Britain. They have never expressed regret. It was never mentioned in a school textbook. never made a single payment.
Arnold continued by describing how Britain accumulated a $6 trillion debt to the “people of Biafra,” which he claimed an independent Biafra nation could demand as compensation from the British government.
“Oil Revenue, Biafran Territory: Nigeria has earned approximately $600 billion in oil revenue since the 1960s,” he explained, adding that the $6 trillion came from “a calculation built category by category from documented facts.” Biafran territory accounted for two thirds of Shell-BP’s operations. $360 billion at a territorial share of 60%. $2.5 trillion, conservatively adjusted for inflation from 1967 dollars to the present.Wrongful Death, Up to 3 Million People: $100,000 to $500,000 per life is the range of international wrongful death precedents, Holocaust reparations, ICC awards, and comparable genocide settlements. $1.5 trillion, assuming a conservative $500,000 per individual.
“112 Years of the Contraption: The 1914 Amalgamation: Structural Damages.” the establishment of the Caliphate as the governing class. British commercial dominance was safeguarded by the 1960 handover. the continued genocide that is made possible by architecture. Currently, Caribbean countries are requesting $10 trillion in reparations from Britain for slavery. The situation in Nigeria is more current, straightforward, and verifiable. $1 trillion is a conservative estimate.
interference with humanitarian help. An attacker has access to weapons. Add at least $500 billion in compound interest on all of the aforementioned.
The sum is about $6 trillion. twice the yearly GDP of Britain. The biggest claim for compensation in human history. All of it came from British government documents that had been declassified. The words of Harold Wilson. The records of Shell-BP. The admissions made by the Foreign Office
