Mazi Nnamdi Kanu The Chosen Leader: Background, References And Biblical View Points
Carefully brooding through the historical lane of events bordering on the Biafra people as a race before, during and after the birth of the now leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu would be a sufficient reason to easily admit that truly, he(Kanu) is the chosen one to lead Biafrans to freedom.
The IPOB Leader was born barely two months into the brutal Nigeria-Biafra genocidal war of 1967-1970. So, since the time of his birth, he has lived to witness how unfortunately painful life in this British establishment(Nigeria) has been for Biafrans. Notice that this cruelty of the Nigerian state against Biafrans was as well what led to the aforementioned genocide.
Nnamdi Kanu has unarguably experienced the worst of Nigeria far more than many individuals actually know. Growing up in Biafra and schooling under the Nigerian educational system until his university level also hugely contributed to his embracing call to fight for a deserving livelihood for Biafrans.
This is the part he aggressively took and it led to his unjust arrest and imprisonment.
When he was eventually released with draconian conditions with the intent to infringe on his fundamental human rights, it did not deter him because this is a general Nigerian experience which he was already familiar with.
Ardent believers of the Holy Bible which is generally accepted in Biafraland as the word of God Almighty, often like to search deep into the Bible and seek God's opinion through prayers when matters needing emotional acceptance and connection arise. They do this before making their conclusion about their moves on any matter.
At this point, these set of Biafrans did their usual to ascertain if they should accept Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as their leader. And they were not disappointed.
Right from times, Biafrans are known to generally follow an autonomous system of governance; therefore making it difficult for them to accept any form of imposed leadership. This can be traced back to 1914, 1929 and the pre-colonial eras. It was noted that colonialists were firmly resisted. And an example of such resistances is the Aba women’s' riot. History has it that even at dagger point, Biafrans still rebelled against slavery and colonisation.
This same resistance measures was also taken against Kanu's claims in the earlier days of his agitations, but finally proved him as the sent leader. Presently, he have full support of the bigger majority of Biafrans(youths and the elderly), who are willingly submitting to him and are ready to die obeying his commands.
The masses trust Kanu unconditionally and the level of support and recognition he has from the South-East of Nigeria especially, is a testament that they have searched their souls and seen the connection, they have prayed to God and He confirmed Kanu to them as their leader and they have pushed and persecuted him(Kanu) to a standstill, but he remained unstoppable.
From the facts above and more other notable ones i did not mention here, I found that Mazi Nnamdi kanu also fulfilled the biblical prophecy of Moses in Deuteronomy 18:15 "The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your fellow tribesmen. You must listen to him. He(Kanu) is the only man that took after Chief Odumuegwu Ojukwu, the eternal leader of Biafra.
Kanu is not just a leader, but a prophet too, whose proves of being a "God-sent" has made both Biafrans and all Africans listen to and follow.
Remember that God doesn't come down from heaven to save people but he always raise a savior for them from their own people. And Biafrans have well understood and acknowledged this.
In conclusion, the IPOB leader has continued to show his commitments to the well being of his people and Africans at large. One of the steps that proves so is his formation of the Eastern Security Network(ESN) to satisfy the people's need for a trustworthy, non racist and non-extortists security network. He formed ESN solely to protect the people from foreign intruders, domestic killers, kidnappers and arsonists.
He(Kanu) makes contacts with the people through radio broadcasts and phone calls during broadcasts, he has their best interest and infact, his interests aligns with the people's. Contrasting this with giving a section of people 150 billion or building rail lines to foreign lands as applicable in Nigeria leaders system of leadership, anyone will agree that the difference is glaringly clear.
Kanu's passion is quite evident and he is leading with zeal. He is fearless, seeks God first and acknowledges his superiority to us mortals. The crowds that attend his rallies all over the world confirm as said in proverbs 29:2 of the Holy Bible, that "the people rejoice when righteousness increase but when a wicked man rules, the people groan.
