The reticence of Britain over the recurrent massacres of Christians in Nigeria under the directive of the current dictator of Nigeria, General Muhammad Buhari, has been christened the silence heard around the world. In this regard, it is quite heartening to learn of the condemnation of the terrorist activities of the so-called Nigeria military officers in Southeastern Nigeria by the President of the European Union Commission, Mr. Jean-Claude Junker a few days ago. But the question everyone is asking is whether the Queen of England, the de facto leader of imperial Britain, enabled this state-sponsored terrorism in Africa to protect her investments on the continent.

Before I get to the specifics about the Queen of England, let me provide a historical perspective for the reader. For the past 100 years, Britain has enforced a single-agenda foreign policy objective in Nigeria: exploit Nigeria’s natural resources for the use of the British Crown. During the colonial era, Nigerians were taxed into penury, and the collective earnings of these hardworking indigenes were routed to Britain to power the engines of British industrial revolution. In one instance in 1929, protesting market women were rounded up and massacred by British officers in Southeastern Nigeria, under the directive of the British Crown.
Between 1967 and 1970, Britain supervised the largest pogrom on African soil during the Nigerian-Biafran civil war when more than 2 million Biafrans perished from starvation, relentless bombardments, endless massacres and economic blockade of the entire Southeastern region. What was most frightening was that the Command and Control Center for the Nigerian war effort was based in London, England, not in Lagos, Nigeria.
British officers were calling in relentless attacks from London and their empire minions in Nigeria led by an illiterate dictator, General Yakubu Gowon, were chomping at the bits to carry out their ferocious orders to slaughter the Biafrans. They were falling over themselves to reach the next fleeing pregnant woman to slice open her belly! This callous disdain for human life was so repugnant that John Lennon, the rock star returned his MBE to the Queen of England in 1969; Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple renounced his Christian faith in 1968 over the horrific images of starving and dying children all over Biafra; and a young Columbia University student, Bruce Mayrock, set himself ablaze in front of the United Nations building in New York and burnt himself to death in protest against the British-supervised pogrom in Africa in 1969.
In the run-up to this week’s massacre in Southeastern Nigeria by the empire minions of Britain masquerading as Nigeria soldiers, the British ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Paul Arkwright, on April 5th, 2017 delivered an unsolicited public ‘lecture’ entitled, “Brexit: Lessons, Challenges, and Opportunities for Nigeria,” in the Muslim part of Northern Nigeria, sending a loud dog whistle to the Muslims to ensure that the agitation for a referendum by the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, was violently put down. Why in the world would the ambassador be discussing the downsides of Brexit in northern Nigeria, as opposed to taking his message to his countrymen and women in England?
Following this bizarre ‘lecture’, the governors of the Muslim states of northern Nigeria, which are mostly under Sharia rule, flew to England for a secret meeting with their British colonial masters where they received their marching orders. On the heels of the meeting in England, on June 6th 2017, a group of nondescript, paid agents and freeloaders calling themselves Arewa youths, acting under the auspices of the governors of the Muslim states of Northern Nigeria, sent out a hate-filled declaration demanding that the me
