This is to notify all Indigenous People of Biafra in the case between Biafra and Nigeria in Suit No FHC/OW/CS/192/2013 that the Secretariat of the Customary Government of Indigenous People of Biafra is now open at Enugu to organize the people as directed by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2016 to vote in a referendum to have their State of Biafra within the Nigerian State just like Scotland within the Great Britain.

THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF OUR REGIONAL GOVERNMENT
The People seeking for Independence must be properly organized to speak with one voice It is our legal argument in Court which the Nigerian lawyers could not impugn that what the Biafrans lost after the war was their sovereignty and not their indigenous identity as a people since they were not annihilated as Rome annihilated Carthage; that they have the right of self-determination to organize and govern themselves as a people living in Nigeria until they regain their sovereignty.
We further argued that upon the loss of their sovereignty, all the laws made by the Biafran Parliament ceased to exist but their Native Customary Laws have remained in force protected under Section 315 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as Existing Laws in force before Nigeria was created just as the Sharia Law is protected by the same Constitution.
We challenge all the people who oppose our Customary Government to join issues with us and meet us in Court.
The date for the commissioning of the Customary Government officials to be announced soon
