OPEN LETTER TO THE RUSSIAN PRESIDENT, VLADIMIR PUTIN

Mr. President,

It is my pleasure to write to you in respect of my beloved nation Biafra and her lovely and peaceful citizens. As Biafrans, we are good people with good heart, smart and brave, industrious and productive.
But before I proceed, I would want to congratulate you on your success and achievements in the Syrian campaign, also I must commend your great work in defending and protecting the Christian community and your efforts in making the world a safer and better place.

Sir, with all due respect I want to bring to your notice the marginalisation and persecution Biafrans are facing everyday in Nigeria. Biafrans have been suffering and facing brutal and severe persecutions from the Islamic Nigerian government ever since the British forcefully joined us together with Nigeria, in an unforgivable and illegal amalgamation in 1914 by the British for one reason only ”to control the resources" that comes out from our land.

I want to use this opportunity to let you know that the British economy have been living off the resources they are sucking out from Biafraland for free using the blood thirsty Islamic Nigerian politicians as puppets to rule and control everything coming from our land and denying us our rights as a people, this degradation and marginalisation of Biafrans has been going on since the amalgamation in 1914 and recently they have resumed an agenda to forcefully islamize and convert us into Muslims by occupying our lands, kidnapping and raping our women, killing our men, as you know recently the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu is currently being illegally detained by the dubious Nigerian government and have defiantly refused to release him despite two Court rulings ordering his unconditional release.

In 1945 thousands of Biafrans were massacred in the northern part of Nigeria by Hausa/Fulani Islamists. During the three years civil war from 1967-1970, millions of Biafrans were murdered mostly women and children. The killings never stopped even after the war, we have remained victims of murder and persecution in this contraption called Nigeria.
We are not the same people with the Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba in the Nigeria, we do not speak the same language, we do not practice the same religion neither do we share the same culture or tradition, we are not in any way connected as a people we are born Christians and they are Muslims, majority of which are Jihadist extremists and this have made it difficult for us to live together as one just because the British government wants it so, against our wish.

This is an abominable act and we are standing up and saying no more, we have the right to self-determination, we have the right to decide and direct our future by ourselves.
Sir, allow me to bring to your knowledge, the advantages and benefits the Russian economy and her citizens stands to gain from an independent Biafran State.

Economic Advantage: The Russian Federation as a whole stands to gain a lot economically from an independent Biafran state through bilateral trades. Biafra as a nation with over 60 million population is richly blessed with lots of natural resources ranging from crude oil to coal and steel and so on, mind you we have the best crude oil in the world known as “Bonny light crude” which has the lowest sulphur concentration of 0.14% and a water content volume of 0.2% Vol Max and Acid number of 0.39% Max, which makes it easier to refine and give more end products including AGO, DPK and LNG more than the “Brent Crude.”

Also, we are very hardworking and innovative people, there is a long lists of possible products that can be imported and exported in and out of Biafraland, ranging from agricultural products to technology especially now that an economic sanction embargo is currently in place on Russia by the West.
Geo-political Advantage: Russia as a super power needs an independent Biafran State to increase her worldwide influence especially in Africa.
In fact let it be known to you that the West dreads an independent Biafra because she would grow to become a great nation and a liberation tool for the emancipation of the entire Africa.

The United Kingdom will fall in no time when Biafra rises, this is already a known fact and that is the reason why they will never support an independent Biafran state. Security Advantage: Nigeria is one of the most corrupt countries in the world, filled with fraudsters and the current President Muhamadu Buhari who has in recent times openly came out to sympathise with the Boko Haram terrorists. Nigeria is home to two of the world's deadliest terrorist organisations “Boko Haram and the Fulani Herdsmen” both are of the same origin and from the Northern region where the present President originally hails from.

We “Biafrans” are Christians and peaceful people and so if Russia supports Biafra in her quest to regain her independence, we will together crush the Nigerian Islamic terrorists and its affiliates “ISIS” which has proven to be a threat to the world's security. This will further more guarantee the security of the Russian federation. Also, we are ready to join any Russia-led economic and security bloc which will furthermore strengthen the ties between both countries.
Besides let it be known to you that if a second civil war is allowed to erupt again between Biafra and Nigeria, there will be a worldwide instability and more migrant's problems will arise uncontrollably.
Therefore, it is imperative that you use your power as the President to push for the release of our leader Nnamdi Kanu and support for an independent Biafran State.
