HEAR ME: BIAFRA IS WHAT NIGERIA IS SUFFERING .
Yes Biafra is the problem of Nigeria, because everything that is wrong in Nigeria is the ramifications of the Biafran struggle.
From 1945 when the first crisis and the killing of the igbos or people from the Eastern region started in Jo's, Nigeria has never stopped killing the igbos or people from the east till date.
Injustice, tribalism, religious fanatism, nepotism and corruption is the problem of Nigeria. From the amalgamation date till today, Nigeria had never been one country. Not because we can not live together as one, but because the leaders had perfected. Tribalism, religion, and corruption as tools of governce, this is the problem of Nigeria.
There is no Nigerian, yes you heard me right, there is no Nigerian. We have igbo , Yoruba, Hausa, Tiv, ijaw persons etc, before being a Nigerian. Not because we are all tribalistic no, but because there is no sense of patriotism that unites us to the country Nigeria. The leaders of the country started playing ethnic politics, as if that is not enough they added religion to the already charged atmosphere. And Nigeria died in every individual, because everybody is identified to what makes him or her proud. There is nothing anybody is proud of as a Nigerian, no matter your tribe. I have seen in other countries where people express their love for their countries, with emotions and devotion. But I have never seen a Nigerian with this emotional display, the only time you can see this kind of emotion, is during sports and after that everybody goes his own way. The Nigerian population are not the problem, because I can tell you that among Nigerians. We love ourselves, I have friends across the country, in fact I think that if I visit every part of the country today, I will not sleep in hotels because my friends will consider it insult or act of disrespect for me to sleep in hotel instead of their houses. The problem with the country is that the leaders has perfected the acts of turning the ingenious ones against their fellow citizens. In exchange for peanuts, as is the situation in any society where there is hunger a poor and hungry citizen is ready to do anything for a meal. Poverty is the reason the elites is prospering in Nigeria, they had succeeded in impoverishing the masses. To extent that these masses actually think that their conditions are caused by the devil. This is why places of worships are feeled to the brim, they are looking for answers to their problems. Without knowing that, their problems are caused by the people in government not the devil or God.
When you analyse what the Biafrans are going through in Nigeria today, you will agree with me that Biafra is the true example of all the problems in Nigeria.
As somebody from the Eastern region, there are some positions you can never occupy in Nigeria, no matter how qualified you are for the position. There is no working seaports , in Eastern region, because the government closed them dowm. If you pay $3000 dollars to ship container from China to Nigeria, after clearance. You will pay up to the same amount or even more to transport them down to the east. And in the process of transporting it, you will meet hundreds of police, customs, in fact all the security agencies has checking points on the road to the east. You will be forced to pay some certain amount of money, for a container that was duly cleared at the seaport. It is undisputed fact that the numbers of security checking points is higher than the number, put together for the rest of the country even though that the Eastern region occupy the smallest land in the country.
Going in and out of the country, whether through land or air boarder is among the toughest task you can imagine, because ones they see your name you are in for a big deal. At the end all they are interested is, how much they are able to squeeze out from you because they believe that you are a business person, as such you have too much money to throw around. Employments into federal agencies or ministries is a dream for many from the east, even when you are employed, you must go through hell to be promoted. There are various cases of people from the east who had to change their names, to get employment or recruitment into federal agencies. The south easterners are the only people who contributes the highest in the development of any area, they are doing businesses. In fact they consider the area as their homes, this is why they buy land and build houses all over the places they are living. Unlike other tibes in Nigeria, but even at this that their property is not safe. They are targeted and told in a clear terms that these their properties is not theirs, in their own country. The quota system in Nigeria only works in admitions into higher institutions, that is if you are from the South and scored 250 marks, somebody from the North will get admission before with 80 marks. Because they are considered educational disadvantaged, even though that they have the same materials, teachers and opportunities if not better than you. But when it comes for employments people from the south who are more educated according to the system, are not given the same opportunity to get the employment. Even though the same quota system applies, the ill educated from the north's are given preferences. This is the reason that the majority of northern persons who are living outside Nigeria are those working with the government.
After the genocide, which was committed against the easterners, the federal government. Seized all the money of easterners and only gave them 20 pounds, irrespective of how much you may have had in the bank before the war. There had never been any reparation in the East after the war, unlike what is obtained today in the North. Where the government is actually paying people for killing ordinary Nigerians, the government is spending huge sums of money. In reparations in the North, not minding the facts that these destructions are caused by the northerners themselves. International airports in the whole Eastern region, are through governments actions or inactions not working. As such if you are coming in or going out of the country through the airports. You must either go to Abuja or Lagos thereby incurring extra cost. Not minding the fact that people from the Eastern region are 60 % of international travellers in Nigeria. People from the Eastern region are killed all over the country and nothing is done, it seems that this has become normal way of life in the country.
For these above but not limited to them, is the reason I stand among my people restoration of Biafra,to restore Biafra is the best way to honour those. Who out of honour for prestige, human dignity and justice. Fought and died in the Biafran genocide between 1967 to 1970, To restore Biafra is best way to honour those who had died in all the senseless attacks against people from the Eastern region from 1945 in Jo's till today. Your sacrifice, your courage, your resolve to stand up against evil, has humbled my spirit, your deaths are sacrifices that will never be forgotten. And also I want to tell you that the situations you fought for has not changed, instead it has become worst. But that spirit that led you to fight and die has never left us, we will honour your spirits by getting that wish you fought and died for.
