United Nations. The whole world is patiently waiting to see whether they will respect the UN’s order or will wear a deaf ear. One good thing is, whether they act or not,another government will make them account for their criminality.
There is not stretching the fact;Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB’s Advocacy for a UN monitored referendum for Biafra is responsible for all these drama and melodrama that is forcing the FGN to dance necked in the public square. Let me state for the umpteenth time;Mazi Kanu and IPOB’s clamour for a referendum for Baifrans have a base in local and international laws.Their quest falls under the globally acceptable principle of SELF-DETERMINATION.
FGN and other pro system ideologue’s attempts of decorating the Baifrans struggle and strugglers for self determination in a felonious regalia do not have a legal nuisance value. And malnourish of logic and syllogism because it was on the same principle that our nationalists fought for our self rule and successfully liquidated colonial rule on 1st October 1960.
The most pettiest dimension of FGN’s take is equating the push for self determination with treason or call to war without providing a convincing nexus between the two.FGN is behaving as if it is not aware that countries like: Crimea;South Sudan;Eritrea;Kosovo were product of contemporary referendums. And Catalans, Scots and Irish are pushing for referendums. Governments of countries that aforementioned referendums occurred and advocacies are on;did not and are not criminalizing or equating them with a call to war. Why is Nigeria one of its kind?
More often,you hear enemies of freedom and liberty spewing bunkum balderdash like;cooperate existence of Nigeria is not negotiable despite rumbling echoes of centrifugalism and centripetalism in the political atmosphere. It is essential for those benefitting from the 1914 political contraption called Nigeria know that no amount of threat and brutality will quench voices and activism questioning the very foundation of the country that consciously made them second class citizens. And placed bars to the height they can attain,politically.
Whether apologists of the lopsided system are cherry or wear stone stone faces,they can’t wished away the compelling realism that Nigeria was mischievously manufactured by U.K.imperialists to advanced their economic and political interest.Because the intent was heinous,every structure crafted was unjust and titanically skewed. To state the truth,devoid of any political correctness,the colonial masters created a semi-apartheid state with our own version of “Boers” to sustain colonial and post colonial political structures.
Now that IPOB and most South East political juggernauts vowed to resist this impunity and attempt to rearrest Kanu,what are the options on FGN’s table? To turn-tail-run or to roll out the tanks against Kanu and his people? Or order for the arrest of every soul that opposed FGN’s dictatorial,irredentist and nepotic move to revoke Kanu’s bail and criminalization of the clamour for a referendum?
The character of President Muhammadu Buhari of today is the same with that of General of 31/12/1983-27/8/1985. The same highhandedness,intransigence,my-way or highway mentality,and sadism is on display. The dictum that said no amount of downpour can wash away spots on the skin of a leopard is at play. His statement that he is a born again democrats during the electioneering campaigns is dissimulative and a bogus votes hunting mantra.
AGF Malami’s memoir is simply a joke stretched too far.
