Biafra : I Don't Want To Lose My Friends To Biafra- Yoruba Lady Begs Nnamdi Kanu

I Don’t Want To Lose Them!
But, What Do They Want In Biafra?

If, as some people say, the strength to weep at the slightest hurt shows innocence, then, I am one of the most above suspicion Nigerians existing. That Obinna, the guy selling electronic Thingamajigs at the junction will cease to acknowledge the name ‘Nigerian’ anytime soon is disheartening. What of Chief Emeka, who owns that beautiful superstructure somewhere in Lagos, will he go too? Will that Igbo man who owns that great industry answer to biafra anytime soon? What of those nollywood superstars? Will Ramsey Nouah go?Peter Edochie, Chika Ike, Monalisa chinda, RMD, will they all go? Phyno, will you go? P-square, Flavour and Timaya will you guys also go? Oh my own heart! Who is doing this to you? But, Nnamdi Kanu, what is it that you want in Biafra?
The spirit that caused the Civil war of 1967-1970, see what you have done to Nigeria and her offsprings, a spirit that caused the mass murder of over 1million of the most Industrious tribe Nigeria has is indeed wicked. In the dark ages, before amalgamation, this same demon caused different intra-tribal strikes in the then Yoruba land, I remember Kunrunmi, Lisabi Agbongboakala, Fabunmi Oke-Imesi and many other war heroes of the old Yoruba Nation, who will forget the kiriji war?. Even, if I am not scholarly in Igbo and Hausa history, I can beat my chest that such intra-tribal wars were not unfound in those nations before amalgamation.The Aro/Ibiobio war of the 18s and the Hausa/Fulani war that led to the creation of Sokoto caliphate and kano emirate are such examples of blood baths this same spirit caused even before we tied the knot. But this blood-loving spirit, who are you? You who have sucked us dry, what is your name?
I know the spirit, it was/is oppression, it is humiliation, hunger, intimidation, lawlessness, impunity and so-on. They steal our money and leave us battered, they kill our people and leave their bodies rambling, they spend millions, if not billions, on their Children’s weddings, they send us to prisons for stealing pepper and enjoy the luxury of the trillions they abducted, they leave us in the dark while they enjoy uninterrupted power, they eat and waste foods and leave us with empty bellies, so we are hungry and angry. My handsome Nnamdi kanu, Ojukwu saw these things and thought the way out was secession. Now, you can see these things and you want to toe the same path, uncle, you might be wrong. Kanu, our leaders are wicked! That is just the problem even Biafra will not solve, Igbo leaders are wicked, Yoruba leaders are wicked and Hausa leaders our wicked. You who rejected an oil bloc and some other goodies just to free your people must give a listening ear. You may bring about Biafra, but will not be the only one to govern her, so; even after securing Biafra, your people’s fate will still be in the hands of corrupt and wicked Igbo leaders! You think of Political reformation? If it can happen in Biafra, it can happen in Nigeria too. Let us retire this crop of politicians, their wives and children, let us enthrone willing servants who would rather die than see things go bald. Let us make the son of a nobody somebody without knowing anybody. We as a people have the power of votes, let us make use of it to produce responsible leaders! We have them. As a matter of fact, we in Ekiti are doing just that. We are taking our future into our hands, we are getting involved in politics.We are retiring the wicked and enthroning the good, the brilliant and the willing, to hell with Political parties.Mazi, follow this better path and save me the pains of losing my Igbo friends, neighbours, colleagues, brothers, sisters, actors, singers, and lovers to some Biafra, save Igbos the stress of losing their lifetime investments to Nigeria. Mazi, please! . . Ayeni Faith Damilola is a writer, public speaker and eulogist.
