THERE MUST BE BIAFRA

THERE MUST BE BIAFRA

While we mourn the death of our compatriots massacred in cold blood by soldiers from 144 battalion of Islamic Nigeria Army and the controversial trial of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu resumes in Abuja, let us remain optimistic of the eventual outcome of our struggle. Let there be no mistake about our future or any misgiving about the resoluteness of our leader in the restoration of Biafra. We are determined to be free as ordained by God and envisioned by our ancestors. It was Dim Odimegwu Ojukwu who was inspired to prophesy “I see Biafra as the crystallization of the Blackman’s search for identity and recognition. I see Biafra as the starting point of the Blackman’s march to his rightful place under the sun, his march to his destiny, his march to a tomorrow of promises, progress and equal opportunity.

I see Biafra as a symbol of black resistance in a world dominated by narrow national selfish interests and understands inhumanity. I see Biafra as a bastion of the free in an age in which freedom and self determination are conditioned by color of the skin. I see Biafra as a challenge to the color myths of the centuries which relegate the Blackman to the role of a self without brains, without pride, without dignity". He went further to say that "for the acceptance of the Black race, THERE MUST BE BIAFRA" Our mega protests for the freedom of our Leader Nnamdi Kanu and our people world over especially in Biafraland in which Buhari and his Armed forces has massacred our families, a second genocide is resounding worldwide where free men live and worship freedom.

 The European Union in their reply letter to Biafra and Organization of Emerging African States (OEAS) supported a bonafide referendum and recognition of lawfully created republic of Biafra. These same nations of Europe set a pattern and never ruled out bloodshed in the attainment of freedom. Watching his people killed incessantly in the quest for freedom, Charles Dickens wrote" The liberation of freedom must sometimes be quaffed in blood" Buhari has no respect for rule of law. He has even threatened the judiciary with jail and assassination of independent minded judges who refuse his biddings and executive lawlessness. He has arrested those that care to speak up against tyranny and injustice. He has ordered for extermination of indigenous people of Biafra or any protests calling for freedom.

 General Joe Achuzia another major prophet of Biafra was inspired to say concerning the protesters “The war ended 40 years ago, that gives you without much thinking the type of people we are talking about. There were children, half of them were born in Biafra at that time, and their birth certificates say they were Biafran citizen. When the war ended Nigeria did not address this issues, reason being that our counterparts who took it upon themselves to manage the affairs of Rehabilitation Reconstruction and Reconciliation made a terrible mistake. This mistake they took into the situation that existed because most of those born during the three and half years the war was going on were babies with Biafra birth certificates and exited the country as Biafrans. Now they are adults, and as far as they are concerned, WHERE IS BIAFRA?  We need Biafra because in Islamic republic of Nigeria, you must state name,age,citizenship,place of birth etc. And having filled the form, on interview, you are asked to bring your certificate of birth and you produce it that you are born in Biafra,authomatically you are rejected or disqualified.

  How long shall we endure rejection? Why are we forced to remain in Nigeria? We have demonstrated to the whole world that Islamic Nigeria is no longer good for us. It is bad, corruption ridden, bokoharam infested, evil contraption to keep us in perpetual slavery. Keeping us in Nigeria is a punishment from Britain. They know it that Nigeria is a corrosive acid. If army does not kill you, police or navy will kill you. If bokoharam did not kill you, fulani herdsmen, corruption or unpaid salary will kill you. To be a Nigeria is to suffer over fifty different diseases. Freedom from these avoidable deaths is only by total rejection of one Nigeria created by Britain. Where is Biafra?
