First let me apologize to my readers, for my inability to provide them with something to read for the past 4 months because of some circumstances beyond my control. Let me also make it clear here that I am a born Biafra man and I will support a genuine cause of Biafra any day, any time. In fact if the only solution to get Biafra is for the UN to guarantee me that if I give up my life, the Biafra will get her independence immediately , I will not wast a second to give up my life because my people's freedom is more important to me than my life.
IPOB should understand that you cannot get Biafra on the social media, neither will you get Biafra through street protests. Protesting and talking about Biafra is creating for problem to the Igbo race because igbos are regarded as slave and developers to the northerners and Yoruba's. IPOB have done well by enlighten the whole world about our problems which the world are playing a deaf game. The major problem IPOB has is, they do not have a representative in the national assemble that will sponsor a bill to ask for a referendum for the Biafra people because all our governors, senators and House of Representatives are corrupt and they are scared of probe. Couple with most of them were promised one post or the other by the northerners, Some were promised the presidency, while some senators and e.t.c.
That is the reason why our so called elites never condemn the killing of unarmed Biafra neither do they defend us. So now you can understand why I said you cannot get Biafra easily or without a gun shots because somebody must table it to the floor of the National Assembly to debate it like Britain tabled their case to the European Parliament for a debate wether the British should exit or not. But if nobody is ready to sponsor the bill on the floor of the National Assembly, the only options left is to declared war. Believe me when this happened, all the governors, senator and House of Representatives will wake up from their slumber and face the reality.
I have studied the problem of Nigeria, and I discovered that this country will remain like this until one is ready to face the reality. There are two options left to put Nigeria in order, first is to restructure the country and implement a true federalism for us to have peace, if we really want to be the giant of Africa. Second is either the South East and South South come up with one voice and face the Nigeria government under the control of Hausa/ Fulani and Yoruba in a brutal war, to be able to be free. Or they should remain calm and submit their loyalty to the Hausa/Fulani authorities because every Hausa / Fulani person speaks or understand one thing, which is war and intimidation. And they believe that south east and south south is their place of survival. That is why to drive them out, one needs to do it by force.
Don't forget what Sir Ahmadu Bello in the Parrot Newspaper of October 12, 1950 where he said: “This new nation called Nigeria shall be the enclave of our great grandfather- Usman Dan Fodio. We shall use the minority as willing tools; we shall use those of the South as a conquered territory. Never shall we allow them to gain power.”
And this happened before Nigeria got her independent, and if this is the case, which means the proposed greasing bill or the Herdsmen killings in the South Eastern region is a calculated plan to conquer the South Eastern territory through intimidation . And by also using some few Yorubas to conquer the Southern region and make Nigeria their enclave based on Usman Dan Fodio's ideology.
One thing I hate about my Biafra brethren is their arrogance. The way the insult the northerners and the Yoruba's are too annoying, they called them names. I used to do that but I stopped due to I asked myself a honest question. But in return, the people they regarded as inferior or fools are the one ruling us. Plato's observation "Those who tell the stories also rule the society." The northerners tell the stories and they are the one ruling us and they are good in a long time planning and they often backed it with intimidation to achieve their dreams. That is why in every little provocation, the northerners want war. War is not the best solution to resolve issues, but when there is no room for a peaceful solution to settle issues, war becomes inevitable. The south east and south south should forget being used by the northerners with a peanuts and come out with one voice and defend themselves before it is too late.
To my northern brothers, it is high time all of you understand that 1960's and 21 century are not the same. Forget that you defeated Biafra with the help of the western powers which took you people almost three years, how much more now that the whole world have seen your atrocities couple with that Niger delta and middle belts are not ready to be on your side. if we should go to another civil war, it will not be like 1960's war. Don't forget that igbos are everywhere in the western world which makes it easy for them to finance the war. And know that Niger delta and middle belts will not fall for your cheap propaganda against their Igbo brothers. And the Yoruba's you people thought that you have conquered is only Tinubu's faction which are not the majority in Yoruba land.
In fact to my own opinion, I will say that the northerners are more intelligent than the southerners because of their ability to manipulate the southerners using the minority or better still using the Yorubas to achieve their desires. Although one might say that the southerners are more educated than the northerners but to me, I see most of the so called southern graduates as an "illiterate graduate" because of the manipulations in the academic systems in the Nigeria universities.
The problem of the Biafra people is they like luxurious life that is why wherever he or she finds him or herself, he or she will want to live a comfortable life, making other tribes to envy them and thought that they want to dominates them. No the Igbo tribes don't want to dominate anybody, they are only showing you appreciation by developing your region because they believe in " one Nigeria" but shout Biafra when they felt they are being marginalized. And they also over welcome and show love to strangers because of their Christian beliefs.
In conclusion, I will tell my northern brothers that half bread is better than non, as you have milked the South to develop your region, don't call for war to destroy all you have achieved because you people will not win any war. Restructure the country and allow every region to have control over their resources and pay tax to the federal which the tax will be used to take care of weak states. And this will enable every region compete with each other and develop their region as it was done in the western countries that are advising you wrongly. USA and Britain are not the only strong world power now, other countries are asking question and are seeing how you people are killing the Biafra for no reason.
