Biafrans, Time Has Come For Us to Return Home

Biafrans I have a very strong message for you all and this message is to go home, invest, build and develop your lands. It’s time to go home and restore the glory of Biafra. Biafrans have been blessed and empowered by God almighty to dominate every land and place they live. They are strong and mighty, Biafrans are the Israel of Africa. They are a direct decedent of Israel and whatever they do prospers. They go to places they have never been to before and in a pace of 4 to 5 years they are doing great, prospering and dominating. God have made this possible for them and there is nothing any human being on earth can do about it.

And this have always brought envy and hatred towards the Biafran people. People begin to get jealous of them and where there is jealousy, comes hate. It’s not their fault, that they are the most influential, blessed and richest ethic group in Nigeria and in Africa. Biafran’s love to explore, they leave their homes and go to other peoples lands in search of greener pastures and when the get there, they make sure they work very hard to create a better life for themselves. They are very determined, courageous, and they are so blessed.

After the civil war Biafrans lost everything they had, I mean everything. Those that had millions and thousands in the bank before the war were given just £20. £20? Yes, just £20. Its sounds so unbelievable and impossible, but that’s how wicked and cruel the Nigeria government were. After all they lost in the war, families, properties and investments; they only got £20 from the Nigerian government to start over. That little to start over from a war that cost Biafrans everything they had.

I bet the Nigeria government were hoping that will be the end of the Biafran people. When I mean the end, am not talking about the race, which of course they will to put an end to, if given the opportunity, but am talking about their, wealth, prosperity and domination. They thought, they will never rise again after everything they went through. Of course they were right to think like that, after all anybody that got that little after everything they lost, will never hope to reach a greater height again. The Nigerian government and the British government where trying everything they could to make sure they frustrated and discouraged the biafran people into giving up. They promised to rebuild Biafran lands after the war and create a better infrastructure for them, but till this day they never did that. They abandoned every project and stop every work going on to redevelop Biafran lands.

Biafrans desired much more than they got. After all, the war was fought in Biafran land but instead the rebuilding started in the west. The Nigerian government never intended to restore all that was lost to the Biafran people. But to their disappointment and surprise Biafran’s were raising fast after the war. It wasn’t easy but they were getting back on their foot. They were working hard and were determined to succeed again. What happening today Biafran’s are the most blessed prosperous and hardworking people in Nigeria. They are back to who they were; strong, courageous and determined.

But the problem now is that Biafran has abandoned their lands and homes. They are now trapped and pinned, that most of their major investments and assets are now outside the shores of Biafran lands. I thought by now Biafrans would have learnt from the civil war, how the Nigerian government confiscated everything they had and left them with nothing. And now they have made the same mistakes all over again. Biafrans are not to be blamed for this; after all the Nigerian government made sure every development in Biafran lands were halted. The sea port were closed down, no major international airport, no standard hospitals, the roads are very bad, and no bridges. They made sure Biafrans were trapped in other parts of the country. Biafrans, even at that, it’s no excuse of abandoning your homes and leaving it undeveloped.

The Yoruba’s have even threatened to kick you out of their lands and Hausas made sure most you were driven away from their lands. The Nigerian government has been making sure; you all remained trapped and enslaved outside your homelands, so that you can keep developing other parts of the country except your lands. They made sure all your investments, business, properties and wealth are outside the shores of your homelands. And yet you all are doing nothing about it. It’s so sad, to see how well Biafrans have developed every part of Nigeria except their own lands. What a pity!
So Biafrans with all these things happening in Nigeria, don’t you think it’s time to return home? Yes, it’s time to go home and reinvest. After everything you all have done to help develop Nigeria, yet they still hate and despise you. They don’t like to see you prosper and when you prospering, they don’t want you to go home and rebuild your homes. Biafrans you must understand, there is no place like home. The honest truth is that, you Biafrans are slaves in other people’s lands and will continue to be slaves, until you realize the need to go back home and reinvest to build a better future for your generations to come.

You may disagree with me, but when the time comes you will still go back to your roots and it will be a shame, that after everything you have done to help develop other people’s land, that you go home and find your lands so underdeveloped and unstructured. There is nothing wrong in finding greener pasture somewhere else. But when you begin to prosper and succeed there, take your profits back home and invest there. Mark my words, Biafra will come and when it does, it will be wise to have all your investments back home. It’s never too last to start moving them now, but if you choose to remain where you are, that’s your business. Whether you like it or not, BIAFRA HAS COME!
