name Biafra and also Philip Effiong from Ibibio was the Vice President. It is an appalling and detestable lie that the riverine kith and kin of the Igbos were forced into Biafra, neither were lands forcefully occupied by the Igbos as peddled by the likes of Nasrullah.
The issue of Igbo supremacy as described by the writer is borne out of envy and jealousy as it is well known that Biafrans are intelligent and enterprising in nature. The republican nature of Biafrans has always pitted them against the feudal system of the Hausa/Fulani. The clamor for the restoration of Biafra is simply for the people of Biafra to be able to develop and put to use their talents which is being constrained in Nigeria and to also be able to practice their culture and beliefs without confrontations from Islamic fundamentalists.
The sinister suggestions given by the writer in curtailing the clamor for the restoration of Biafra is already in play as several military operations like Crocodile Tears, Python Dance, etc have been engaged and Biafra Land is presently under occupation by Hausa/Fulani Muslim stock of the Nigeria armed forces. Remember a government sponsored militant group and pro-Nigeria groups were created to threaten IPOB, also, military checkpoints have continued to increase in Biafra Land. The Nigeria government has tried every strategy in shutting down Biafra Television, Radio Biafra, pro-Biafra websites, blogs and social media accounts. The Nigeria government had also gone ahead to set up and operate barrages of anti-Biafra websites, blogs, social media accounts, radio and television jingles in a bid to dissuade and scuttle the clamor for Biafra.
The Nigeria security forces have continuously abducted, arrested, detained and killed supporters and associates of IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu. The Nigeria Secret Security Service (SSS) has continued to groom and train infiltrators to sabotage the plans of IPOB in its quest for self-determination. It is not surprising that Ebonyi state was excluded from the planned imposition of state of emergency and martial law as it has been subtly colonized by the Hausa/Fulani. The formidability and resoluteness of IPOB have never been dampened even under brutalization by the Nigeria government.
It is sheer show of hatred by the writer to suggest the arrest, detention and prosecution of politicians, political office holders and civil servants who expresses solidarity with pro-Biafra groups while numerous northerners and politicians who are in solidarity with BokoHaram and Fulani herdsmen have not been arrested or prosecuted. It is a shame that a supposedly educated writer will encourage the caging and violent against Indigenous people exercising their right to self-determination which is recognized under international law. I wonder if the writer is oblivious of the fact that the Nigeria government supports the same right for the people of Western Sahara and Palestine.
It is obvious that the writer is in tandem with the Hausa/Fulani oligarchy backed by the British government whose plan is to deliberately cause a crisis in Nigeria so as to perpetrate a military coup to depose Acting President Yemi Osibanjo. I wish to educate and warn that imposing martial law in Biafra Land will result in open confrontation and rebellion from Biafrans which a military dictator will not be able to contain. The youths in Biafra land are posing for an all out war as they have continually been killed on peaceful demonstration by the government forces but they are been held down by the peaceful and diplomatic approach of IPOB. A referendum rather than the imposition of state of emergency is the most civilized approach and the Nigeria government must be warned.
