Fulani Herdsmen/Militia and Boko Haram are one and the same people and the names can be used interchangeable as they are synonyms. Their base station is the north-eastern Nigeria but when one is going on an outstation assignment in Biafra land, the person wears the Herdsmen or Militia uniform. The high remuneration attached to outstation duties is the reason why many of these allied agencies have started extending their murderous services to other corners of Nigeria, including the Oduduwa Republic. When on outstation duties, the DSS personnel spread in all nooks and crannies of our land are always there to provide them with the needed guide and cover since they cannot read maps. Tolerating such killers is a suicidal.
Nigeria is a country where everything is at variance with known norms in the 21st century: the judicial, legislative and executive arms of government trade blames on the policy of corruption; a country that poses threat to human rights; a country that is against self determination and is bent on killing and maiming people who have come out to declare it, etc. It is therefore counter logical and runs against common sense for us to keep on tolerating Nigeria.
The main reason we are on the self determination agitation is the numerous anomalies in Nigeria. Furthermore, self determination is our natural right. We therefore state that nothing will deter us from achieving victory because it is a divine mandate. All we are saying is “GIVE US BIAFRA”.
International communities should take note that we have remained peaceful even in the face of danger and intimidation. Even as Buhari’s killer squads attack us with live bullets and test all forms of chemical weapons on us, we will ever remain resolute and formidable because our cause is divine. In the end, we will win because we are on the path of truth.
