Biafra in my arms, while I was crying, others were rejoicing. "Matters Arising".

In 2012, I bought a land in Maitama extension in Abuja and Amuwo Odefin in Lagos. As soon as I started the building, came the Biafra agitations. Looking back at the pick of the Biafra agitations, all I could see was a picture of war. Building collapsing and everything was destroyed. Then I quickly remembered a story about Adolf Hitler, when he said to one of his friend in Austra that the Jewish are prospering, building houses and taking over Europe. Then he concluded by saying that soon there will be war and everything will be destroyed. 

What came into my mind was my uncompleted building in Maitama extension in Abuja and my land in Lagos. Behold, I rushed to Abuja to sell the building only to be offered a peanut because the Alhaji who bought the house from me knew that I was in a desperate move. He saw the fear in my eyes and took advantage of my weakness. When he gave me a Zenith bank cheque, in my mind was look at this fool, he is buying a property that will be destroyed by war soon. 

And I can also feel the same in his mind, he will be saying, look at this foolish Igbo man, I just cheated him and bought his property for not up to what he has spent. Tomorrow they want to occupy other people’s land without developing their region. I lost 20 million from the total money that I have spent on that building including the purchasing of the land. Today, to get a land in the same area will cost you between 70-100 million Naira. Not to talk of the building inside. 

This is the reason why sometimes, I sounded frustrated and aggressive in some of my articles. This is to say that sometimes, you need to be gambler to be able to survive and that is why most of the time, gamblers often survive while some get broke. Had it been that I know that we are not going to go to war with the Nigerian state, I wouldn’t have sold my house for a peanut. I would have been 150 million Naira richer today. But that is life because right now, I’m applying a zero some game to console myself. That was why when our leader announced that our demand has been met, while others were celebrating, I was crying. 

Although, I was upset when I heard the announcement because I wanted a Biafra that will go through another war so that all the buildings in Lagos , Abuja will be destroyed. But as God has chosen the way he wants Biafra to come, I have no command over his wish. Am I angry yes, am I upset yes but one must lose something to gain something and If Biafra comes without a gun shot, I will see my lose as my own part of the sacrifice that I made towards the restoration of Biafra Republic.

When Biafra finally comes, it must be built based on Justice, equality and fairness because it will be degrading and evil for us to have spent all our lives in the western world, only to come back with all the degrees without learning anything that will better the lives of our people so I propose the following

1: There is the need to construct a wall bigger than the Chinese Great Wall to demarcate Biafra and South West/Northern-region. This wall will starts from Benin City and ends in the Northern Region. How will this wall be funded? Well, to my own opinion, It will be based on a collective funding and every citizens of Biafra will contribute in his or her own little way to achieve the building of the wall after he or she has finished his university, by serving the country through building the wall. Which means you will spend 3 months from the one year that you will serve your country in building the Great Wall. 

2: Those who betrayed the Biafra struggles now will not be allowed to have a Biafra passport because they never believed in Biafra but they will be issued a permanent resident card. Which means, they will not leave the country until they die except that they have a Fulani or other country’s passport to be able to travel out of Biafra. 

3: On immigration policy, you can qualify to have a Biafra citizenship only if you are a Christian and your priest or pastors or rabbi must issued a written affidavit testifying that you have been baptised and have been attending church and fulfilling all the church regulators. This policy will be applied to third party/ies. There will be no dual citizens in Biafra land so either you chose Biafra passport or chose the country you hold their citizenship and get a permanent resident status 

4: Accommodation: Every Biafra must be entitled to an accommodation, it is an offence to allow a Biafra citizens to be a homeless person within Biafra Republic. To ends this, there is the need for the government in engage in a mass development of low cost building across the region.

 5: Minimum wages will be 200 dollars or it’s equivalent and it is an offence to pay a Biafra citizens bellow the minimum wages and it is also an offence to own or delay Biafra citizens salary more than 24 hours from the due date. 

6: There will be a resource control, which means whatever you extracted from your land, government is entitled to 20% of the proceeds.

 7: Education must be free, from primary to secondary only if you studied on any of the local languages. You are entitled to a University loan which you will pay back as soon as you have gain employment after your university. 

8: Military: All military must remain in their Barack’s, and if any military wish to go out of his or her Barracks, it is an offence to go out of your Barack’s with your Gun. 

9: Corruption: There will be a capital punishment on embezzlement of public fun, inducement of any kind and bribery. A: those who received bribe of any amount, if they report to the authorities implicating the person who bribed him or her, he or she will be free from any prosecution while the other person will be executed in public. B: He or she will decide how he or she will be killed. There will be an option of the execution either by feeding his or her body to the lion or by chopping off his or her head in the public. C: Receiving of any kind of gift while holding a position that can influence others from carrying their duties or that will lead to a change of approach in your office amounts to corruption 

10: On police, we must have a state police and all states must have control over their police formations. It is an offence for any police officer to have a gun or take their guns outside their police station. 

11: On political party: There shall be two party system, and individual can contest an election without belonging to any party. Sharing of any gift during an election periods amount to inducement which attracts a capital punishment 

12: On Asylum: Asylum can be granted to any individual who is prone to persecution but that individual must show a sign of respecting the culture of their host and must not in any way, I repeat must not in any way try to impose his or her believes or wills to the host community. 

13: On Agriculture: Agriculture will be subsides. 

14: On pharmaceuticals; There shall be a death penalty for any individual that manufactures or import fake drugs. 

15: Underage marriage : It is abomination and offence to perform any kind of marriage between underage girl of below 18 years of age with an adult. 

16: On Judiciary : The Judiciary’s must be independent, and can veto any case in the country. The president has no power to influence the Judiciary or appoint the head of the judiciary, it is an offence which will attracts impeachment if the president or any high rank government officials try to impose or appoint or interfere in the judicial system. 

17: On Journalism and social media, It is an offense to publish any story based on assumptions without any evidence to back up your claims. The offence will attract a 5 years imprisonments or an option of a 1 million dollars or its equivalent to Biafra pounds. 

18: On Maternity leave: A woman who gives birth is entitled to 6 months leaves and upon delivery she will be entitled to 5,000 dollars or equivalent to Biafra pounds. 

19: On witchcraft or occult membership, Anambra people pay attention. It is an offence which attracts a capital punishment to any individual both the third party performing a sacrifice with a human being.

20: Spying: USA, China and Russia pay attention, it is an offence to spy on Biafra government, the offence will attract a capital punishment or an option of 5million dollars or its equivalent to Biafra pounds. At least we will be making cool money from the USA, Russia and Chinese people.

21: Gay and Lesbianism : It is abomination to engage in such act, because it is against our Christian faith and the offence will attract a 10 years in prison or an option of 200,000 dollars or its equivalent to Biafra pounds. Gay people take notes because we must uphold the bible morality teachings in the Land. 

22: Rape: It is an offence to forcefully have sexual contact with someone without his or her consent. The offense is 25 years in imprisonments. The offender will also work on the building of the Great Wall. 

23: Right to live: It is an offense punishable by death if someone intentionally take the life of another. The offender will also work on building the Great Wall before he or she will be hanged. 

24: Health Insurance/Social Security: Every citizen must have a social security code which will help you in getting all the benefits that comes with the full package.

25: House Contract: It is an offence punishable by law to collect any rent more than one month, and it is also punishable if the tenants deformed on the agreement and if the tenants is unable to pay his or her rents, a three months notice will be given to him or her and he or she must leave within that period, failing to do so will attract a 2 years in imprisonments. 

26: On Electricity/Infrastructure: It is the responsibility of the state to provide infrastructure and maintain it, and it is also an offence to allow infrastructure to decay under your watch. Which will attract a 5 years imprisonment.

26: On imports duty: There shall be free duty on goods that cannot be produce or grow in the country and a high tariffs to goods that can be produced locally in order to protect the local industries.

I must make it clear that whatever I'm saying here is based on my imagination, based on my assumptions or my opinion. Yes Biafra in my arms will be brutal but great because we have lost men and women. We have lost innocent souls by those whom we called our leaders, by those whom we have looked up to for helps from them, by those whom we have called upon to protect us. Instead of them to protect us, they have betrayed us and sold us to the Fulani caliphate for a pot of soups, so why won't I revenge on them if I have the power. My idea of revenge will not result in killing them, hell no but they will live but will be stripped off every benefits in their own country. They will never be entitled to have a Biafra passport, but they will be issued a resident card or status.

Dear Yoruba Thugs, “matters arising “

Dear Yoruba Thugs,

Someone wrote, before you start a tribal war the Igbo's, read your history. A certain tribe without preparation or adequate training, held this country in open combat for 3 good years.

That tribe stood against the Hausa + Yoruba + UK + USA + UN + Arab world + Russia + some of African countries and some of EU countries for 3 good years.

That tribe did not yield. Until Awolowo decided to kill over 2 million of their children because he couldn't fight their men, so he decided to starved their children to death.

So before you think you have a right to Lagos, read your history. That tribe ordinarily doesn't like to fight, they like to migrate, settle down and make money. But when you provoke the lion on them, they will fight you. 

They are not in Lagos because Lagos is beautiful or Lagos is conducive for them, they are only in Lagos because Lagos is the only source of importation and these tribesmen are largely traders.

The IGR (Internally Generated Revenue) of Lagos is largest, major thanks to that tribe. They operate and run most of the major markets in Lagos, for example,  Ojo Alaba international Market, Balogun market, Autoparts, Ladipo, Mandilas, Lagos Island and Idumota market.

They build markets, warehouses, houses, estates, etc in that your Lagos. All these they have achieved without any government support even when all their assets were seized and they were made to start  life all over again from 20 pounds with harsh government policies against them.

What have you achieved with 'your' Lagos heritage? You should be grateful! Tinubu and other Yoruba Thugs should stop threatening them and start thanking them. You think Lagos will stand if that tribe leaves?

Funny but let me just tell you something that you all do not know. IPOB with all their agitations, did not disrupt elections in the Biafra Land. But look at your OPC,  they disrupted elections in the Yoruba land.

If IPOB had done half of what your OPC have done, by now. Python dance part 4 and 5 would have started, including state of emergency in the entire Biafra land and people's home will be broken into and people grossly maltreated and killed.

Again,

Dear Yoruba Thugs,

Don't start what you won't live to finish. Read your history. 

In war, everyone bleeds, both the oppressor and the oppressed.

However, those who have been pushed to the wall have nothing to lose! Try it and see how Igbo's will chase your useless Yorubas into the lagoon and destroy your Lagos.

Lunatics !

Kanu's Unanswered Question, "Matters Arising".

Biafra please calm down, I know the moment the news of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu (The Great) broke the internet that he has call-off the election Boycott in the entire Biafra Land. Haters of the IPOB rushed to the social media to accuse him of betrayal or fraud. 

Well, they are entitle to their own opinion because if he turned down all the juicy offer made to him by the Nigeria government while he was/came out of prison, I don't think there is any offer someone can make to him that will entice him. Everybody who does not know Mazi Nnamdi Kanu or who does not believe in the struggle will think the same. 

I know that for him to call-off the election Boycott means that there is something he has gotten but that is what we all are expecting him to tell us. I think that it is very important for all of us to know what was that that made him to call-off the election Boycott in Biafra Land. I'm putting down these questions for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB leadership to come out live on any of the social media to do the needful as he has been doing since because IPOB leadership cannot accused Buhari/Jubril of being a tyrant and in return, the leadership are touring the same tyrannical approach that they have been accusing others in Nigeria. 

We cannot claim to be whiter than snow, only to come out with a black spots on our faces. We need to shame our haters by proving to them that in IPOB, we carry along with everybody in our decisions not like in Nigeria that politician do whatever they like. It is very important for the IPOB leadership to clarify this issues and answer all these unanswered questions that I'm putting up below because I believe that millions of IPOB worldwide will be asking the same question.

 It is also their right to know and also it is important for the IPOB leadership to make it as a matter of urgency to clarify the meaning of calling off the election Boycott because the leadership cannot joke with the people that gave them their mandate to represent them as if the people's opinions are not important. 

If Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has claimed that our request has been met. Then it is very important to answer these simple questions.

1: What was written on the documents that they signed
2: Who signed those documents
3: Who and who were witness
4: What guarantee do we have that those who signed those documents will uphold to it without toring the line of Aburi accords
5: In the event that they defaulted on the agreement, what will be the next line of action.

As soon as you and the leadership of IPOB have answered these simple question, then those who led their lives in this noble course will rest their mind wherever they maybe. But if IPOB leadership refused to answer these question to millions of its followers, then it is very clear to all of us that Nnamdi Kanu is trying to turn to an authoritarian person. 

IPOB leadership must understand this, we are not docile and it is an insult to us to fall for cheap excuses because I might not be grammatically perfect but I'm to educated or enlighten to know what is right and good. For that documents to be absolute, there is the need for all presidential candidates including some international representatives to witness and also have their signatures on the said documents because if it happened that one or two candidates signed the said documents, without the consent of others. Then other candidates have no reason to uphold it because they are not signatory to the said documents. 

And if indeed, all the candidates were involved in signing the said documents, then it has proven beyond doubt that the North are only interest to finish this 4 years and after that, Nigeria can break up peaceful or it has also confirmed to my early claims that an Igbo man cannot rule Nigeria until the country breaks. If this is not the case, then they Northerns have see reason to tour a civilised way of doing things.

4 Main benefits of Boycotting the Presidential Election, Matters arising”

Before I will outline the 4 important main benefits of Biafra boycotting the 2019 presidential general election, let me first correct the notion by the proponents of PVC and to those instigating fear or arguing that boycotting the presidential election will cause more harm than good to the people of Biafra.

First we have been voting for the past 50 years, what have we benefited from our past vote other than renewing and recycling the same politicians without them offering us the basic benefits such as an affordable health insurance/social security, 24 hours electricity, Job creation, good roads and clean water. Which are the basic and easiest thing any government supposed to offer to its citizens.

So the question I want to ask to the proponents of PVC and voting campaigners are; Has any of the past and present government met any of the over mentioned basic needs to the citizens ? Since we have been voting, have our past voting corrected the economic blockage in Biafra land? The answer is no. Have our past voting stopped the customs, police and military road exploitation and blockage in Biafra land? The answer is still no. Have our past voting created job for the youths or bridged the infrastructural decay in our land? The answer is no. So what/why are we rushing to vote the same group of people with different election promises which they have never and will never fulfil until we stop voting them to office.

Our elders says that when the land is bleeding, the red cap chiefs and kings get fats. Those who are asking you to come out to vote are the beneficiary of our miseries. They are those who gets fat while we are suffering. My appeal is simple, lets try something new and see the results. And if we can collectively boycott the presidential election, the outcome or the benefits will be tremendous. For example, 

1: Boycotting the presidential election will give the international community the impression that Biafra are united and have made up their mind to leave and govern themselves.

2: It will give IPOB leadership an international recognition as the mouthpiece of the people of Biafra because they are in control of the people and the land. Which means that as soon as IPOB forms a legitimate government in exile, countries can now negotiate with IPOB's leadership without having any doubt because the Biafra people have collectively chosen their leaders and their representatives. And don't forget that the reason why countries are to skeptical about coming out to support Biafra agitation openly was because they don't want to lose their interest in Nigeria. So when they have found out that Biafra people have chosen their leaders or when they have found out that IPOB has a legitimate government in exile, it will be easy for their representatives to work directly with the Biafra government in exile because their interest is within Biafra land. 

3: It will also correct the impressions the politicians from the Biafra land has that they do not need Biafra people to win an election. If you all will agree with me that the reason why politicians from the Biafra land do not value our people is/was because they believe that they only need the Northerners to win an election and that the North are more important to them than their people because the Northern cabal will always rig an election in their favor without understanding that you can only rig an election if the people participated. 

4: Boycotting the presidential election will minimizes the number of killings and injustice mated on the people of Biafra in a daily basis because after the boycott, the Nigeria government and politicians will adjust to their evil ways. Knowing too well that it is no longer business as usual due to they need your vote to be where they are today. That is why, they often spent 3 years in Abuja and immediately election is approaching, you will see them eating with you. Belief me you, if all Nigeria will boycott the presidential election, their life will change for good because it will send a serious signals to the government that the people are angry with their leadership. Then you will see that no government will want to hold your salary or do anything that will make you to stop voting.

I used to belong to the groups that beliefs that the only way to achieve Biafra is through war until Mazi Nnamdi Kanu changed that my views. And If you all will agree with me that the reason why most people had joined IPOB, was based on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's initial slogans “ Biafra or Death”. Which most people misunderstood the slogans because they thought that there will be war immediately and were disappointed when such did not happen. That was why many members of IPOB left. But I think there is the need to have an adequate preparation to withstand war before rushing into war to avoid making mistake that will spell doom to everyone. 

Understand one thing about me, I'm an amateur writer and I'm not writing for benefits or to survive through blogging. I know how to convert my writing to be a money making blog but that's not my interest now because my interest is just to use my blog's platform to air my views and frustration for people who mistakenly read my blog will know what I belief in. And I'm not following Nnamdi Kanu because I agree with all his ideas or views. He is a smart man and he has a fantastic ideas but his Liberal Ideology is what I cannot buy in because I'm a realists. I'm only following him for no reason order than that he has the interest of the people of Biafra at heart. And he has won my support the moment he was in prison and left without compromising because he has an opportunity to compromise and belong to the Nigeria ruling class to become a multibillionaire. 

You must understand this about me, I'm not praising him for any interest or to seek for his recognition or to be part of IPOB governing body because I was once offered the opportunity to be the local government chairman in my state by a powerful politician from my area but I turned it down and the person he picked, won the election. Off which had it been that I indicated interest, he would have made me the chairman and my political career would have skyrocketed by now. But due to I'm not interest in holding any political office, I turned his offer down. And I have been living in Europe for the past 14 years, and I don't belong to the groups that are suffering in Europe. 

My lifestyle is very simple, if you do good, I will praise you but the moment you started misbehaving, I will criticise you immediately. I don't belong to the groups that believe that they need so much money in their bank account. The best gift anyone can give to his chilren is education not stocking money in a bank for them to misuse it. I was once made a juicy offer by one of the UBS manager in Switzerland, I turned it down because to me, it was a fraudulent deal. So you cannot buy me out with money. The reason everyone are suffering in Nigeria is because people values money than their conscious. That is why we are suffering in the hands of the politicians and the politicians are acting based on our weaknesses because 80% of our problem was directly and indirectly caused by us.

IPOB’s Cassified informations, “matters arising “

OPENING THE EYES OF THE MYOPIC

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) globally, once stated: "If we try to get Biafra the same way others got theirs in the past, we may stay till one thousand years and we will not get Biafra because Biafra will come as last miracle on earth".

Some people are daily ranting and claiming to be the best journalists that Biafra has ever produced and as such, have the mechanisms to get access classified information no matter how complexly concealed. This may not be disputed because I for one, am not one by academic discipline.  I have repeatedly maintained that I am a volunteer Biafran journalist for the restoration of my fatherland via the struggle. I am basically a Christian missionary educationist cum Church administrator by training. I will proudly confine myself to pure church ministry engagements should Biafra regains her full restoration today and get such, bequeathed to my children as a gift of excellence.

With particular reference to the statement of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as earlier referred to, the following questions should be of concern to us, viz:

>> What other ways did sovereign nations of past records toe in realising their independence that are yet unexploited in our methodology?  Such methods that if we fail to apply, will drag for the next one thousand years before Biafra is restored?

* SOUTH SUDAN

Arms conflict which culminated into a United Nations' supervised open ballot referendum that eventually led to their exit from Sudan.

* ISRAEL

Direct open declaration by the Zionist Movement that led to arms conflict. The Israelis got out of the remains of the fallen Ottoman Empire and gained the recognition of international community years after the fierce war with the Arab world.

* ERITREA AND JIBOUTI

Arms conflict that led to direct recognition by the international community. Both regained their freedom from Greater Ethiopia.

* CROATIA

There was an internally organized referendum and proclamation of self sovereignty which culminated into arms conflict. This later, was given recognition by Germany and other European countries. Croatia thereafter, exited the Old Yugoslavia.

* SLOVENIA, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA, KOSOVO

These experienced arms conflict that led to the outright dismemberment of what remained of Yugoslavia after the departure of Croatia. The Serbians subsequently abandoned the nomenclature of Yugoslavia which was the name used to hold down an unwilling people for centuries.

* IRELAND REPUBLIC

Great Britain's approved referendum by open balloting led to the carving out of Ireland Republic from Britain with Northern Ireland yet remaining part of the United Kingdom.

* UKRAINE, BELARUS, GEORGIA, AZERBAIJAN, ETC.

All the fifteenth (15) countries that left the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR), got propelled for dissolution through the instigation of the Western world. This of course triggered off geo-political war between the USSR and the United States of America through her military base in Cuba. USSR was then gradually welding enormous military might comparable to that of Nazi Germany of 1945. This actually led to the final dismemberment of the Old Soviet Union that gave birth to the existing indigenous nations, leaving Russia on her own from the old pack.

The long list of further references of exited countries from their colonial stock cannot be exhausted here. However, the above analysis are exceptional guides on how those nations under review, got their independence. Through the divine mandate upon the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, he pointedly stated: "If we try to get Biafra restored through the way others got theirs, we will not get it in one thousand years".

Referring to the above list, we have noticed:
* Arm conflicts
* United Nations supervised referendum
* Internally organized referendum
* Mother nations' approved open referendum
* Direct open declaration by the agitators
*External instigation by Western countries

Presently, the IPOB as ably led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not contemplating adopting any of the above listed methods but rather, toeing a different path to referendum, devoid of conventional balloting. It is premised on outright boycott of the upcoming Nigerian government organized presidential election which if successfully implemented in line with the restoration effort, will lead to the establishment of a Biafran government with full cabinet and functional portfolios even from exile. The Interim Prime Minister, Provincial Administrators, Legislators, Cabinet and Agencies, will be unveiled. I am convinced that as this unfolds, the international community will be left with no other option than to accord recognition to Biafra as it did to Israel, Croatia, Eritrea, etcetera, who boldly took respective steps to effect their overwhelming desires.

It is difficult to state here however, that if these myopic crop of individuals who are parading themselves as first class journalists really understood the content of the broadcast of the IPOB leader on the 1st of January 2019 or they only allowed the irritation of high-tech farming, road construction, job creation/opportunity  which the yet to be known Briafran Prime Minister and his Cabinet, into morbid facebook yappings. There would not have been any need for this classified information but it's imperative that Biafrans fully understand why they must remain indoors on Saturday 16th February 2019, when the Nigerian government organized presidential election will be taking place. The election must be boycotted in it's entirety.

Concluding, Biafrans need be wary against all these distracting voices coming at this time to divert their attention from obeying the orders of the IPOB leadership. If the presidential election is successfully boycotted across Biafraland, the IPOB Directorate of State will definitely and strategically, unveil the Biafran Government under a choice Prime Minister that will commence work. THIS OF COURSE, WILL BECOME THE DEFINITION OF THE LAST MIRACLE ON EARTH WHICH THE BIAFRAN INDEPENDENCE WILL SIGNIFY.

Let us not allow people, bereft of intelligence gathering and sharing, to deceive us into doing the unproductive. Their only stock in trade is  employing their much touted mechanisms to extract information. We are getting to our destination, fellow Biafrans. Just ensure that you totally boycott the elections and then get ready to witness the after effect of February 16, 2019.
