Naturally I, like any other same Igbo person, am a supporter of the independent nation/state of Biafra. But at the same time, knowing Nigerians and knowing that Igbos aren't unique in this regard, I'm wondering if/when that independence is achieved, whether there will be constitutional guarantees of equal rights for women, gender minorities/LGBT+ people, religious minorities, criminals and disabled people, etc. Because socially/culturally/economically those are things that Nigeria as a state already lacks. And so if Biafra achieve it's independence but doesn't actually try to be better than Nigeria in those regards, what exactly will have been accomplished lmao

Another 105 civilians from the Christian Mwagaful community, were murdered in Nigeria by Alfonja Jihadi Fulani militias who are ethnic cleansing Nigeria of its Christians in the state of Plateau and elsewhere. The UN and the world is ignoring Islamic Jihad in Nigeria.
This follows the news of 300 deaths during targeted attacks on Christian villages in Plateau State on Christmas Eve.
"40,000 Nigerians have been slaughtered and 3 million displaced. Why no protests?"
There are no protests because the victims are the wrong victims, and the perpetrators are the wrong perpetrators.
A report from Makurdi Diocese’s Foundation for Justice, Development and Peace has revealed there were 119 militant attacks targeting predominantly Christian communities in one state alone in 2023.
Islamists also murdered 414 people and injured, raped or kidnapped almost 100 more in Benue State last year.
The former Muslim President of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari is Fulani. He orchestrated the Biafra massacre that resulted in the deaths mostly by starvation of some two million Christian Biafrans, after Biafra attempted to break away from Muslim controlled northern Nigeria.

Dr. Philip Emeagwali is the Inventor of the World's Fastest Computer.
Popularly called the "Bill Gates of Africa", the Famous African Inventor from Onitsha, Anambra State, was born in Akure, Ondo State.
Like many African schoolchildren, he dropped out of school at age 14 because his father could no longer afford to train him in school.
Even after dropping out of school, his father didn't give up on his son. He continued teaching him at home. It was recorded that everyday, his father made Emeagwali performed mental exercises such as solving 100 math problems in one hour.
Fifteen months after Emeagwali's high school education began, the Nigerian Civil War broke out. Him and his family fled to the eastern part of the country and he was surprisingly drafted into the Biafran Army.
Tumblr media
Emeagwali's family lived in a refugee camp until the war ended in 1970. More than half a million Biafrans died of starvation.
He didn't give up on his dreams, he studied hard and got scholarship to Oregon State University when he was 17 where he obtained a BS in mathematics. He also earned three other degrees – a Ph.D. in Scientific computing from the University of Michigan and two Masters degrees from George Washington University.
In his words, "My focus is not on solving nature's deeper mysteries. It is on using nature's deeper mysteries to solve important societal problems."

On this day... - April 2nd
On this day Led Zeppelin performed:
+ 1969 : Top Rank Suite Club in Cardiff, UK
Tumblr media
“The Progressive Blues Night at the Top Rank was in aid of the Biafran Relief Organisation. Unfortunately only 450 people turned up to watch and the charity event actually lost money to the tune of £100. However those who did go were treated to a technically brilliant performance. […] The show continued in the same pompous rock-god vein until How Many More Times. This 15 minute epic was meant to be the evening’s highpoint showcasing Page’s incredible guitar skills. However an engineer accidentally activated the revolving stage causing jack plugs to be wrenched from their sockets whilst others were snapped off completely. The gig ended at that precise moment.” – by Anthony Brockway
+ 1970 : Civic Center in Charleston, West Virginia, USA
Tumblr media
“Led Zeppelin brought the frustrated Charleston rock community sweet release at the Civic Center Thursday night in a brilliant, bombastic contemporary blues recital. Everything came together. The five thousand freaks were hungry. […] Led Zeppelin took full advantage of an extended program to fully elaborate on their varied, blues-based repertoire.” – by Ray Brack, Charleston Newspaper
+ 1973 : Centre Sportif in Saint-Ouen, Paris, France

Going forward, I'm going to be covering the funeral of The Queen like normal.
It's a big public spectacle in which fashion will be front and center, of course I fucking am.
But I'm going to be doing it with full recognition of the legacy of colonialism and brutality that the British monarchy represents. Those who today are still affected by colonial crimes of the past have no obligation to mourn or respect their colonizers.
On a personal note, I'm using the opportunity to learn more about the colonial events that privileged Westerners like myself are rarely educated about, and I encourage others to do the same. Learn about the partition of India. Learn about Canadian residential schools. Learn about the Mau Mau Rebellion. Learn about the Malayan Emergency. Learn about The Troubles in Ireland. Learn about the Biafran genocide. To make the world better in the future, we have to learn about the mistakes of the past.

🇳🇬 nigerian dorcas meadowes bc I'm nigerian and I say so: 🇳🇬
- was born (1960) and raised in nigeria until she and her family left to england due to the biafran war (1967).
- is fluent in igbo, and when she speaks english she still has a slight accent.
- incorporates old nigerian spirituality into her magic, making her magic stronger and unrecognizable to british wizards (maybe part of the reason voldemort was intimidated by her 👀)
- smuggles in/has her parents send nigerian foods (jollof rice, fried plantain, fufu, suya etc.) to hogwarts and has her friends try them to see their reactions. I think they'd all pretty much like everything that she brought in but evan ESPECIALLY loves it. like he always begs her to bring more food and when she does he always clears the plate in 2 seconds flat.
- on the topic of plantains, I also hc mary as jamaican and I imagine she and dorcas always get in heated debates on whether it's pronounced plan-TAYN (dorcas) or plan-TIN (mary).
- sometimes when she's in a good mood she'll play igbo highlife music and dance along, and marlene is absolutely smitten when she watches. if the song has words, dorcas translates them from igbo to english for anyone else listening who doesn't understand.
