An Appeal to the International Community for a Peaceful and Just Resolution to the Nigerian Crisis by Ekwenche Research Institute
To the Governments of the World, International Institutions, Human Rights Bodies, and Global Citizens of Conscience:
We, Ekwenche Research Institute a Public certified Human Rights outfit since 1998 having researched and made authentic and accurate and findings hereby endorse as credible all statements made by the human rights organization INTERSOCIETY on the incessant killings of Christians in Nigeria in different regions that include Northern, Western and Eastern Nigeria. Most reports in print, audio of also video from governmental institutions, other independent human rights groups and news agencies of international repute have reported on the genocidal dimensions inherent in the killings of Igbo and other fellow Christians. We have studied and compared their findings with others ; we strongly endorse their recent conclusion which states the results of a carefully planned and executed program of Islamization project and strongly came to the conclusions.
The reports of INTERSOCIETY are in tandem with other reports by internal and external media. Decades of this constant killings have increased in intensity and glaringly the documented proofs of support and funding are found in the public. The publication of INTERSOCIETY are obvious and correct. It is on records by the US and other countries that government of Nigeria brought into the country foreign Fulani killers into the country and subsequently have not shown interest in stamping these killings against Christian’s and Igbo and others who are followers of Christianity religion in accordance to well drawn out plans. These plans were made known to the public by former adherents to Islam during 2011 Christian worshippers conference in the city of Nashville. Ekwenche went to court in Geneva seeking justice for the dead as we seek for redemption on the extra judicial killing of defenseless christians for no reasons come before you with a solemn and heartfelt appeal concerning the present and worsening condition of the Nigerian state.
Nigeria, once envisioned as a beacon of unity and prosperity in Africa, has become a deeply fractured and dysfunctional entity. Following the end of a genocidal war against the people of Biafra in 1970 and in the absence of implementation of promises of the following Reconciliation,Rehabilitation and Reconstruction which has plunged the region into Decades of systemic failure rendering its core institutions incapable of delivering justice, equity, or good governance to its people.
1. A Judiciary Lacking Independence
The Nigerian judiciary, which should serve as the final protector of coandnstitutional order and the rights of citizens, has been deeply compromised. Executive interference, political pressure, and corruption have rendered the courts unable to serve justice without fear or favor. Impunity thrives, citizens seeking redress are too often met with silence or injustice.
2. A Corrupt and Predatory Economic System
Nigeria’s vast wealth—especially its natural resources—has become a curse rather than a blessing. The economy functions primarily for the benefit of a corrupt elite. Transparency is non-existent in major sectors, while millions of citizens live in poverty. Rather than being a tool for development, the state has become a mechanism for economic exploitation and plunder.
3. A Compromised and Ineffective Legislature
It is shown and proven with names that Nigerian government officially brought in terrorists of different types to take towns from indigenous citizens. Facts to the sponsors have been presented for the senators, assembly and judiciary who are serving as the financial sponsors of the criminal jihadists who unilaterally overthrew the constitution of the country thereby imposing Sharia in about 12 to 13 states. We must dismantle these structures or we work with those who have by political process of referendum stand by them Biafara.
The Nigerian National Assembly, rather than acting as a check on executive power or a representative body of the people, has descended into complacency and corruption. Lawmaking has been reduced to a transactional process, disconnected from the pressing needs of the population.
4. An Artificial Union No Longer Tenable
Nigeria’s territorial and political unity—constructed without the genuine consent of its constituent nations—has long outlived its viability. Ethnic, religious, and cultural tensions continue to escalate, fed by structural injustice and unequal power dynamics. Every attempt at meaningful constitutional reform has failed, hijacked by vested interests that benefit from the status quo.
In light of the above, we respectfully call upon the international community to:
● Recognize that the Nigerian crisis is not merely one of bad governance, but of fundamental incompatibility within a forced union.
● Support a peaceful process of self-determination for the various peoples of Nigeria, through internationally monitored referenda or negotiated restructuring.
● Condemn and place pressure on those who continue to use force, state repression, or manipulation to suppress legitimate demands for autonomy and justice.
● Facilitate dialogue among Nigeria’s constituent groups under international mediation, with the goal of a peaceful reconfiguration—whether as a confederation, a federation of truly equal partners, or peaceful separation.
This is not a call for war. It is a call for peace.
We reject violence and seek a future where all people within the current territory of Nigeria can live in dignity—free to determine their own destiny, under governments they freely choose and institutions they can trust.
Nigeria’s future must not be held hostage by a corrupt few. The time has come for the international community to stand with the oppressed, and not with those who exploit them under the pretense of “national unity.”
We ask not for interference, but for facilitation. Not for division through conflict, but for self-determination through peaceful means.
The world stood for the rights of peoples in East Timor, in South Sudan, and in Kosovo. We ask: will you now stand for the peoples of Nigeria?
Respectfully,
