An American rights advocate Mike Arnold claims Britain is silent over the agitations for the actualisation of Biafra because it will be over $6 trillion in reparations.

He claimed that the British have earned lots of money from the South East since 1960 through Shell BP’s operations. Arnold said: “Nigeria has earned approximately $600 billion in oil revenue since the 1960s from Biafran territory. “Two-thirds of Shell-BP’s operations were in Biafran territory. At 60 per cent territorial share was $360 billion.

Adjusted for inflation from 1967 dollars to today, conservatively $2.5 trillion.” He added: “Wrongful Death: Up to 3 million people were killed in Biafra, which amounts to holocaust reparations, ICC awards, comparable genocide settlements, range from $100,000 to $500,000 per life.

‘At a conservative $500,000 per person amounts to $1.5 trillion. “Obstruction of humanitarian aid. Arms supply to an aggressor. Compounding interest on all of the above — add $500 billion minimum.

“A free Biafra, or any legitimate successor government representing the South East, would have full legal standing to file this claim before the International Court of Justice, which is exactly why the British don’t want anyone talking about Biafra.”

The former mayor of Blanco, Texas, traced Britain’s alleged insensitivity to Biafra’s marginalisation to the time of Prime Minister Harold Wilson after Lugard’s amalgamation of 1914, describing it as a deliberate strategy to protect British economic interest as stated by their own declassified Foreign Office documents.
