SALUTE! TO ALL OUR BIAFRA HEROES AND HEROIN

Am writing this with great joy yet with sadness in my heart, Joy that it’s a wonderful privilege to be still alive because of the sacrifice and love our Heroes and Heroin made for our sake, because without their willing hearts and undying love for Biafra, to lay down their lives for their fellow brothers, sisters, sons and daughters, I won't be here writing. It’s also of great sadness because many of our Hero's and Heroin were taken from us wrongfully, painfully and discriminatorily by the British-Nigeria government. Many of our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons and draughts were shot at, raped and suffocated. Going to back to the Nigeria-Biafra civil war, many will recall how the Nigeria government through Gowon, tried to exterminate Biafrans from the surface of the earth, they tried to do the unthinkable, by trying to erase a race. How wicked and evil of them! But thank God for our Hero's and Heroin, who gave their lives to make sure we their children live to see today.
They sacrificed all they had to make sure their next generation lived to fight another day. We thank them with all our hearts and we know that God almighty will reward them greatly, Biafra and Biafrans will never forget them. Now looking back Fifty years after the Nigeria-Biafra war was fought, the same old story still continues. Biafrans are still slaughtered and murdered by the Nigeria government now under the command of another tyrant Buhari. After the illegal arrest of Nnamdi Kanu the leader of the Indigenous people of Biafran, many Biafrans have protested and called for the release of their faithful, loving and committed leader, but what did this unarmed protesters IPOB get in return? A bullet in their heads and stomach by the Nigeria Armed Forces, Many of our Heroes and Heroin, were shot dead on the streets, some in the bushes, while some other where raped, strangled, suffocated and burnt alive. Over 2500 indigenous people of Biafra have been publicly and secretly killed since the arrest of Nnamdi kanu under the government of the former military leader Mohammadu Buhari not less that 7months he came into power as a so-called democratic leader.
Just recently in Aba, many of our brothers and sisters, who went for a gathering and praying in a National high school in Aba on the 10th of February, were surrounded by the Nigeria armed forces. The Nigeria armed forces who knew that these people were harmless and innocent still opened fire on them killing over 30 of them and injuring 45 in the process. Also on the 19th of that same February a mass grave was uncovered in Aba, with bodies of over 19 IPOB found in a pit. This is wickedness of the highest order but I won't relent or give up on Biafra, even if it means me laying down my life for Biafra, I will gladly do it. My Heroes and Heroin, have taught that Biafra is stronger than any cause on earth, they have given their lives for the freedom of their people, they have died so that we can live and continuing fighting for Biafra, they left their families, homes, comfort, wives, husbands, properties, wealth and willingly gave their lives for the continuity of the Biafra movement, please I ask for greater love is than this? How many people can boldly and openly say they are willing to die for Nigeria? How many? Cowards! And yet the barbaric tyrant Buhari still goes about killing innocent Biafrans. We Biafrans will not give up, we will not relent, we will never stop our fight for Biafra.
We will make our Heroes and Heroin proud, because without them we won't be here. We the Indigenous people of Biafra, salute our Hero's and Heroin, and we promise that for them we must have Biafra! Their Names won't be forgotten but will be ascribe on the foundation of Biafra. Their families will never be forgotten when Biafra comes, instead they will be elevated above all because their sons and daughters gave their lives so that Biafra may live. Salute to them all, its Biafra or Death!
