Biafra get ready… you are involved.
Who is fooling who…? Biafrans or Nigerians?

This particular Northern
occasion needs to stir up our emotions. Prior to the atrocities against the
Igbo, on January 29, 1966 and during the course of the massacre in North in
September, October and November 1966. The Hausa’s wanted Igbos go home because
they were geometrical progressing and there was a great violence which
thousands of Igbo were slaughtered in the North; it is impossible to forget
that Igbo men, women and children were taken out of their residence and were
slaughtered. They were mascaraed in places of worship, in the streets, in
market places and in vehicles.
Ojukwu foresaw that the
Northerners were going to advance and carry on the Jihad and kill everybody off
in Eastern Nigeria, he mobilized the Igbos from north back to their home for
security reasons. Biafra fought war against Nigeria without guns and they were
able to kill in thousands if not because of our “egocentric nature”, we would
have won the war. Now, the Igbos have projected a man who fought against them
as their president who rewarded them by making our Son Nnamdi Kanu his first
political prisoner. Yes it was stated that freedom of speech was guaranteed by
Section 22 and Section 39 of Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution as amended and such
right is also enshrined in the Geneva Convention Universal Human Right
Declaration Article 19 when it stated: “Everyone has the right to freedom of
opinion and expression.” Yet Kanu’s case I can’t explain, I am not a Judiciary
but “This incessant harassment and in some cases killing of members of Igbo
organizations must be put to an end “Arrests and harassment of Igbo leaders is
sending a wrong signal and message to young and newer generation of Ndigbo
under 45 who did not witness the genocide and war against people in the South
East.
I know the president is fighting against
corruption but he should bear in mind that in as much as money is in the
Government, he cannot kill corruption. My fellow Biafrans, may we not deprive
ourselves our right, may we not fight against ourselves, let us pray for Biafra
and also Nigeria, because all of us are involved.
