President Muhammadu Buhari’s support for an independent Palestini­an State forced Israel to formally recognize the agitation by the Indigenous Peoples of Bi­afra (IPOB) for the creation of an independent State of Biafra, an Arab diplomat has disclosed.

The diplomat told The AU­THORITY at the weekend that Buhari’s pledge to help “our brothers and sisters in Pal­estine” attain independence greatly angered the Israeli gov­ernment.

Buhari had in a visit last year to Qatar, promised the Emir (Head of State) Tamim Bin Hammad Al-Thani, that “we will stand side by side with you, until our brothers and sisters in Palestine achieve their desired objectives (independence).”

According to the diplomat, “Buhari’s meddling in the Israe­li-Palestanian crisis was largely unnecessary”.

The envoy pointed out that “while Buhari keeps address­ing Palestinians as ‘our broth­ers and sisters,’ majority of Mus

lim countries like Senegal have since softpedaled on their sup­port for Palestinians.”

He continued: “It was not for nothing that Prime Minis­ter Benjamin Netanyahu chose to recognize Biafra at a very im­portant ceremony like the Hol­ocaust memorial, last April.”

“At the memorial, Netanya­hu chided the world for keep­ing quiet and standing aside and did not prevent genocide or mass murder in Biafra, Cam­bodia, Rwanda, Sudan and also in Syria.”

He observed, “Netanyahu is the first Head of State of a First World country to describe the 1967-1970 war against Biafra as genocide.”

“The Israeli PM’s presence at the 51st ECOWAS summit in Liberia, the first by any Israeli leader to Africa, and the first by any non-African Head of State, coupled with the promise of a $1 billion solar power project for the region, was tailored to teach Nigeria a bitter lesson,” stressed the envoy.

He noted that Nigeria’s ab­sence at the “very important” re­gional summit may have been orchestrated to avoid the em­barrassment the very large Is­raeli delegation would have caused the country.

The envoy said: “ECOW­AS countries have a combined population of about 350 mil­lion, of which Nigeria, which suffers tremendous power def­icit, has about 180 million or more than half of the total pop­ulation. Clearly, one would have expected such solar power plant to be sited in Nigeria, but Israel chose Liberia apparently to snub Nigeria.”

He added that Israel’s bid for reinstatement as an observer in the African Union (AU) would further injure Nigeria’s interests.

“Perhaps Nigeria should pay greater attention to Netanyahu’s forecast at the ECOWAS sum­mit that ‘Israel is coming to Af­rica and Africa is coming to Is­rael”, advised. The envoy.

He expressed fears that with Nigeria’s decision to withhold funding of the ECOWAS may have come a whittling down of the country’s dominance in the sub-region.

“Nigeria’s influence in ECO­WAS is at its lowest ebb. The country used to be the big­gest financier of ECOWAS, but stopped funding the body the moment Buhari came into power. Nigeria’s indebtedness now hovers around $700,000. What did you expect? The oth­er member countries are now forced to look elsewhere, and don’t be surprised if non-Afri­can countiries like Israel come in handy,” opined the diplomat.

He cited the recent decision of Morocco, a northern African country, to join ECOWAS as a pointer to the belief that certain countries can’t wait to take over Nigeria’s leadership role in West Africa.

“I fear that like Israel, Mo­rocco may have a diplomatic axe to grind with Nigeria after your president (Buhari) open­ly declared support for the in­dependence of Western Sahara just a few months after hosting King Mohammed VI in Abuja”.

”I don’t know the shape of your country’s foreign policy. Your president goes about can­vassing support for people who seek self determination in Isra­el and Morocco, yet rolls out the tanks on Nigerians who express the same sentiments.

Get this straight.


NO COUNTRY in the world is in support of any Biafra.

Doing so will put their diplomatic relationship with the Federal Republic of Nigeria at risk.


The flags you see all over the countries are the flags of Igbo migrants there that supports the Biafran agenda.


When you people talk of countries and their support, it only makes you look very very stupeed.

That is how some f00lish illiterates tore their Nigerian Passport with the hope of travelling with Biafran Passport. They have gone to collect another Naija passport codedly.

Buhari intentionally came to mess up this country. It will take decades for Nigeria to erase the embarrassments and enmity that long throat ape have caused to nation.

How can Morocco join ECOWAS? This one weak me

It's a fact bro, Morocco actually has applied to join the ECOWAS. I think you can google it.

Truly buhari has made a mess of everything he puts his hand into.



Morocco and Isreal are coming to West Africa to displace Nigeria as Big Brother.



Who else don't want Buhari to come back like me

Good

The government of Israel and Turkey support the independence of Biafra

These two countries has been confirmed

Others may join

Some people keep doubting the truth to make themselves happy but I ask myself what will they gain when the chips comes down

Buhari is the main reason Israel and Turkey recognize Biafra.

but what is even wrong with buhari , how can you be all over the place encouraging secession in other countries yet fighting against it in your own country . nothing about that man makes sense.
