Aburi Accord Agreement

9. Another agreement reached on 9 August was the holding of a conference of regional delegations to broadly recommend the future form of political association in Nigeria. The ad hoc constitutional conference met in due form from 12 September to 3 October, when it was suspended for three weeks. At the time of her ascension, she had agreed on a number of issues. But while the conference was still being held, soldiers from the North, with the help of civilians, massacred thousands of Ostrigerians in the north and some even in Lagos, the site of the conference. In exchange for territorial control and in agreement with Russia and Great Britain, Govon and his vandals paid for the conquest of Biafra by barter. This illegal trade led to the loss of the Bakassi Peninsula in Cameroon. The agreement allowed Nigerians to commit total genocide and an attack in a conflict that has starved tens of thousands of infants and children and dramatically overtook and massacred tens of thousands of civilians. «This mutual distrust did not stop after the agreement.

This probably explains, according to Eleazu, that Nigeria became a British colony because of the diplomacy of imperialism, as a matter of choice for one of the peoples who were to be locked in this grid, recognized and managed as a territorial entity called Nigeria (Eleazu, 195:61-71). From the period of its merger in 1914 to independence in 1960 and beyond, the stuttering part of the country was tarnished to survive by a large number of serious conflict problems that moved into civil war between 1967 and 1970.
