I
have never seen Nnamdi Kanu and neither have I ever talked with him
before his arrest or before being a Biafran activist; he never convinced
me to be an activist neither was I lobbied. I don’t know the leadership
of IPOB and neither do I know anything about how IPOB is funded because
Nnamdi Kanu prohibited any fund from people in Biafra land.
I
was only made to understand that for coming from the Old Eastern region
‘territory’, I am IPOB, and I have an equal right with anybody as IPOB.
For the purpose of discipline and order; I was also told that Radio
Biafra gives command and control. Indeed, this is why there are
discipline, orderliness and law-abiding character.
I
trust Nnamdi Kanu to restore Biafra because Chukwuokikeabiama
determined he does it. IPOB has broken too many world records, risked
everything, and there are no one or people that can be compared to IPOB
when it comes to Biafra restoration project. IPOB has made me feel
satisfied; I can see the victory for Biafra/ if I don’t grab this sure
win within range, I can’t recover to start all over again.
Anybody
might want to be a career freedom fighter, but with Nnamdi Kanu, I see a
man that mean business. This is my last fight, and I have made up my
mind to die forever or live forever; the last man that would command me
is Nnamdi Kanu, and if he ever goes like Uwuzurike which is highly
impossible, I will forbid and oppose any future call for Biafra.
I
today decide to write to Nnamdi Kanu in a particular way because I can
now see the desperation of Nigerian Government and some masked men
struggling and working day and night to push Nnamdi Kanu or force him
into negotiation with Nigerian Government. Some of these men are poised
to exchange Biafra for wealth and other things but see him as a
stumbling block, his mantra ‘Biafra or nothing-death’ is a significant
threat. Not death for him alone but death for everybody (2nd civil war)
and the people of Biafra who die or live at his command.
They
are very much aware that he controls and commands the entire people of
Biafra and getting Nnamdi Kanu means getting the whole people of Biafra.
As I write to you-Mazi Nnamdi Kanu; I know they have brought everything
before you and pleading that you should accept it. I was even called by
one of the men pressing for you to negotiate with Nigerian government.
He told me that he would join Nigerian Government to fight Biafra
restoration as you turn down offers. As much as I can assume; there is
powerful lobby and plea as you keep rejecting them, they keep coming.
I
was a vibrant youth during the days of Uwazurike, and my mother went
out during an individual one million man match for him. I never stepped
my foot anywhere for him because I didn’t have a clear vision of where
he was going. We lost few people who tried to disarm security men on
Uwazurike’s orders and my cousin’s mother even told me he would make her
minister of women affairs; I wondered how a market woman who did not
finish her secondary education before she was snapped up by her husband
would be a minister; for that promise, she left her children to go
hungry and paid into Uwuzurike’s account- money for the struggle and all
he needed.
The
people of Biafra came out en-mass to fight for Biafra with him but in
the end; he only came as a disappointment. Today you have rejected our
money but asked for determination to restore our nation which we are
showing and to the last drop of our blood shall we remain determined.
Your decision to die for us took our heart away; we don’t only love you
but crazy about our love for you.
When
MASSOB members started harassing people for either wearing Biafran
bangles or wearing Biafran caps; I knew that was what it was going to
result to; Biafra was a business venture for Uwuzurike and everybody
learnt the trade and followed him. Then like Nollywood film, security
men was disarmed and barracks created; each barrack bringing returns to
Oga’s office.
While
Uwazurike drove around with government plate number; the people were
ordered to use Biafran plate number; everything was a sham and a scam.
Biafra was already dying until he was arrested and when he negotiated
and got released due to there was nobody to fight for him; that became
the end of Biafra, and he strangled the dream.
Then
the barracks he created that bring the return to him turned a criminal
hideout; Uwazurike led our people into kidnapping, land grabbing and all
sorts of criminalities; that was all he could offer us and as a result,
our population died immensely. Not that they died was the issue, they
all died in vain and had those gallant men waited until today; their
death would have restored Biafra. Today, you have not only disciplined
the people of Biafra to be law-abiding; you have also taught us being
wither than white and knowing no corruption; which is your watch-word.
I completely lost hope in Biafra; who ever told me I would have one day
passionately embrace Biafra after what I saw with Uwazurike, I would
spit on the person and make a burnt sacrifice for God to avert it.
Today; I see myself not only fighting for Biafra but ready to give up my
life in your footsteps; I have embraced Biafra that I nurse no other
dream but Biafra.
Nnamdi
Kanu, as you see, I have no other future, and I am worthless without
Biafra because my essence of living is Biafra, I don’t know what you did
to me that made me love Biafra more than gold and my life. I had only
followed your footsteps because when you chose death and prison; I am
only doing after you. I never knew you could pick Biafra from the gutter
Uwazurike left it and washed it to make it bright and attractive once
more. I never knew somebody could convince our people again to fight for
Biafra after what Uwazurike did to us; I was one of those people that
said it is over. Even the first time I heard your voice on radio Biafra;
I walked away and said so Uwazurike is still alive but when I gave you
attention; your contagious voice held me, and I forgot everything
Uwazurike did to our people to once more fight for Biafra.
Nnamdi
Kanu, this fight is the last I will ever fight, and if you are
defeated, I will kindly forbid Biafra even in future. If you die; I
swear that I will also give my life for Biafra and hence you continue to
be strong; I will continue to do anything, protest and agitate under
command. I will even be the first to be recruited as a soldier (forfeit
journalism) that would fight for Biafra if we are forced into violence
and as your continued detention is going to cause the crisis,
I
will be in the front as the crisis is executed. I am poised and
fanatical about Biafra just as you. You have taught me to be resolute
and fearless and that I have taken. For a year and three months, I
listened to you on radio Biafra; I must tell you the truth; I sometimes
doubt certain things you said. You said that is Biafra or nothing; you
stated that it is either Biafran flag is raised, or you are lowered to
the grave. I doubted your voice to give away your life knowing that as a
Crown Prince and a wealthy man; the earth is heaven and who would leave
heaven for hell?
You
have not only lived everything you said and defined what leadership is
all about; you go first, and I follow. You have decided to languish in
prison while you are pleased to come out via negotiation. You have
chosen to lose everything for the sake of Biafra and why won’t I do
same; you are not like every leader I used to know, who would order the
people around; you always stay in the front to make your orders. There
is a form of agreement before you began this quest; that you will never
fail us, and we shall never fail you.
We
are resolute and with this letter I wish to make it clear that we have
never prevaricated or had a thought of stopping half way. We are with
you to the end, and nothing, not even negotiation or the plans by FG
will deter us from this quest. Don’t stress yourself over your continued
detention; we understand you are suffering for us; we know you could
die for us, and one thing that is certain is you will come out
triumphant. What is still stalling full blown crisis is because we are
hopeful ECOWAS court would do justice; if you are not released very
soon, we will lay down our lives for you because you are the symbol of
Biafra. We believe that Biafra is in Kuje prison and whatsoever we do
because of you is done for Biafra.
They
told me that they would do everything to make you accept negotiation
and some people are already savouring for the money they would get out
if any negotiation. They told me that you are stubborn and that they
would fight against Biafra restoration to show you that they control
things. They said you did not inform them before restoring Biafra; they
stated that they want to be involved even though they are gluttons and
octogenarians that can’t be trusted with Biafra restoration project.
They
told me that there is a way to restore Biafra and that they have a
strategy. What strategy? They are cowards who can’t do anything but
cowardly submit to Nigeria and are envious of you. You have to remember
the Nostradamus prophecy, ‘a Prince will rise at the trigger of Africa,
and he shall be the envy of many’. I heard of TRIPOB and I laughed, they
are dangerous and really out to stop Biafra, don’t bother because
Biafran youths are already waiting to settle them, and they said they
are not aware if you are alive or dead, and I see they want to cross the
line this time around. How can I know more than you when you have
already predicted everything happening today?
Finally,
I want to state without mincing words that if IPOB under radio Biafra
that you lead fails to restore Biafra; no other class can do it on this
planet earth. You are the last hope, and you have brought Biafra so
close than we imagined. They are desperately fighting because they are
aware Biafra is here, and this fight against Biafra that has never been
this desperate is a testimony.
I
know you cannot go the way of Uwazurike because you have come a long
way to go back. But should you fail to restore Biafra today; I will
never fight for Biafra again in the future and will oppose Biafra
anywhere I hear or see it. While I trust Chukwuokikeabiama to use you as
a willing tool, Ifeanyi Chijioke also trusts your tenacity to overcome
temptations like Yahshua did.
