THE BUTCHERING OF BIAFRANS IN NIGERIA
By Ifeanyi Chijioke
For Family Writers
A woman was wailing beside me, I sought the cause of her tears but saw nothing on her trail. Then I saw a Samsung galaxy phone in her hand, she was watching a video from the internet. I turned curiously to enquire more about the video and she said “Come and see how human being is being butchered, what kind of country is this and what kind of hatred is this?"
I took time to start watching with her but then her phone lost power “Oh! Battery" she shouted. I was inquisitive to watch the full video but could not get the chance. Later on, my phone rang and it was a call from London, Ifeanyi Efobi just called to confirm if I received a video he sent over my whatsapp. I confirmed it with a weak voice, I had just finished watching the video, I could not watch it to the end but I have seen it was the Fulani herdsmen terrorists atrocities in Enugu where Biafrans were attacked.
I was down and shattered, I felt like life has lost its meaning and Nigeria worth not a country. “Something must really be done before we all die. Should there be a reprisal, our people with this high sensitivity to this atrocity will destroy the contraption called Nigeria and every living thing therein.
But I strongly believe Biafra is the solution and it is high time we restored Biafra". I couldn't sleep up till this moment and I am not sure of ever sleeping. There is a horror alien to me and to my people " Biafra" we cannot be Hausa/Fulani or Yoruba. We are Biafra with high sense of value for human life, even while taking a man's life, he still deserves honour because no one can give life.
