Photo of the day: Signing away your FUTURE! Harold Wilson and Alfred Diete-Spiff during the Biafran War

It was all about oil: Harold Wilson and Alfred Diete-Spiff during the Biafran War
British Prime Minister,Harold Wilson and 26yr-old first Rivers State governor,Alfred Diete-Spiff in Rivers State,in 1969. 

Today the people of then Rivers State are lamenting of marginalisation and environment devasted by oil and gas exploitation. Their future was signed away long ago in 1967.
The British Government supplied over 70% the arms used to defeat Biafra. It was all about oil and gas. The lives of Biafrans did not matter to them.
