“Recognizing Ethno-National communities is done AFTER a series of Referendums. It applies everywhere self determination is claimed – from the Turkish entity in Northern Cyprus to East Timor, South Sudan, Darfur Czechoslovakia, the former Soviet Republics, the former Yugoslavia with Bosnia, Kosovo, the Serpska Republica, Biafra, Quebec and more. Self-determination final decision is reserved to the people not the elites”
– Dr Walid Phares, Biafra Franchise Lobbyist. (Screenshot below, 4 Feb 2026)
As controversy raged about Nigeria’s botched $9m Lobby efforts in Washington to deny or suppress ongoing Genocide in Nigeria, dishonest Merchants of the Rogue Biafra Franchise saw an opportunity for fundraising for their scam enterprise and so, capitalizing on the $9m figure of Nigeria which translates to $750,000-per-month lobby contract, (in comparison with the paltry $60,000-per-month lobby contract claimed by the Biafra Franchise), the criminals went on a fundraising binge to match or surpass Nigeria’s Lobby purse of $9m.
It was in that setting and in the fundraising that ensued, that the Biafra Merchants engaged one Dr Walid Phares as their new lobbyist and guide for “how Biafra will come”.
The introductory quote in this article was an X-post by the said Dr Walid Phares to outline the prerequisites of Self-Determination to new clients, – the Biafra seekers.
When the blind leads the blind, the result is the disaster and miserably embarrassing buffoonery currently masquerading as “Biafra Restoration”.
These postulations made by Walid Phares in his capacity as the new pathfinder for the rogue Biafra Franchise spell out the prequalifying prerequisite of being a distinct Ethno-National group, for entities seeking Self-Determination and the series of Referendums required to aggregate the Ethno-National constituents of a clearly delineated geopolitical territory, into the bloc that could go to terminal Referendum.
These should now make it clear to the ignorant Biafra seekers that no Referendum is anywhere in the making as Biafra is not an ethno-national entity; nor have the ignoramuses leading the Restoration charade, undertaken the tedious consultations required in a multi-ethnic setting such as Nigeria or even just Eastern Nigeria, to set the basis for the series of local Referendums required to approach the terminal Referendum.
If the simple questions:
“Referendum for
-which territory?
-which people? and on
-what question?”
were put to the Restorers of Phantom Biafra today, they will have no meaningful answer to present.
Who will explain to the semi-literate and dishonest deplorables leading the Biafra Restoration scam and commotion that their Biafra is not an Ethno-national group and therefore does not qualify by itself for the remedy of self-determination referendum?
The Biafra agitation groups will now learn the hard way from the consequences of the arrogant refusal of their dishonest and ignorant arrowheads to pay attention and understand the 8-Point Strategy of the LNC which already deployed the pre-qualifying steps toward self-determination referendums for the peoples of the Lower Niger (i.e., Ethno-national groups of the erstwhile Eastern and Midwestern Regions of Nigeria, and others on the other Alliance Territory Blocs of NINAS).
