May 26 2020 | The Biafra Restoration Voice
In 1960, Nigeria gained political independence from
Britain. Six years later, the Muslim Fulanis and Hausa in northern Nigeria
began massacring the Christian Igbos in the region as a result of the Military
coup organised by young Military Majors from different regions of Nigeria. Their
mission was to have a United Nigeria, devoid of ethnic and religious bigotry,
they saw the politicians of the first republic as very corrupt and responsible
for the division among the ethnic nationalities in Nigeria. Using Ethnicity and
religion as tool of division especially during electioneering campaigns.
The whole coup was erroneously labelled an Igbo coup,
because those who supposed to kill Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo and host of
other Politicians failed in their own part of the deal. Chukwuma Nzeogwu an
Igbo man from Okpanam in the present-day Delta state was able to assassinate Sardauna
of Sokoto in what appears like a suicide mission with his troupe as was agreed
by all the coup plotters including those from Northern region. The announcement
by BBC Hausa service, was the only thing needed to set the entire Country on fire,
the coup was seditiously labelled an Igbo coup by BBC, which triggered the
already bottled anger of North against their presumed domineering Igbo race.
The result was the butchering of over Five Thousand
Biafrans in Kano alone in one day, men, women, children including pregnant
women were hunted down and their stomach ripped open to make sure the baby was
killed first before the mother was slaughtered.
This pogrom prompted tens of thousands of Igbos to flee
to the east, where their people were the dominant ethnic group. The Igbos
doubted that Nigeria’s oppressive military government would allow them to
develop, or even survive, so on May 30, 1967, Lieutenant Colonel Odumegwu
Ojukwu and other non-Igbo speaking representatives of the area, established the
Republic of Biafra, comprising several states of the southern part of Nigeria.
It is also important to note here that the killing of the
Igbos in the Northern Nigeria did not start with the 1966 Coup of the young
Majors. Our people have always been used by the rest of the country as
sacrificial lamb.
The 1956 Kano riot was a case in the memory of all the
students of history. This was a case where Northern leaders were booed in the
streets of Lagos for rejecting a bill in floor of the federal house of assembly
submitted by Anthony Enahoro, calling for the independence of Nigeria from
Britain. The Northern Politicians went back to the North to call for the
killing of the Igbos in the Northern part of Nigeria leaving the Yorubas that
caused the problem. This made the Oba of Lagos to go and show his appreciation
to Emir of Kano for sparing the lives of the Yorubas who were the real culprits
in the streets of Lagos.
So, as we remember our Heroes and Heroines today, let us
continue to tell our stories by ourselves before they distort the story to
change the narratives, to suit their insatiable goal of eternal domination of the
land of our inheritance.
Our fathers and mothers were indeed heroes and heroines,
they saw the future and rightly judged that we have no future in a union that
promotes mediocrity over meritocracy, a union that promotes religious and
ethnic bigotry above development and achievement, a union that value life of
animals above the sacred life of human beings created in the image of Elohim. A
union where your fellow countrymen see your existence as a threat to their life
and religion.
They declared for a holy nation of Biafra, where
fundamental human right will be respected, where life will be treated as sacred,
they did not only declare a Nation, they gave their lives to defend it. They
fought gallantly for three years against the kingdom of darkness, Britain,
Germany and Russian, Egypt, Saudi Arabia etc, will never forget the three years
of war in our land. The Northern Caliphate knew the war did not end, they knew
Biafra was not defeated that is why the war is still on in our land, that is why
we have So many military and police checkpoints in our land more than anywhere
in the world. That is why we have so many Fulani terrorist migrating into our
land for their final onslaught.
I salute you our Heroes and Heroines, you fought a good
and just fight, after over 50 years, the world still hears the cry for freedom
louder than ever not only from Biafrans but from all the oppressed people of
the zoo Nigeria.
Indeed, you have been vindicated, your sacrifice was duly
accepted by Elohim, which is a sign of victory for His people; the children of
Biafra. I salute you Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu, Philip Effiong, Colonel Achuzie
(Hannibal) Corporal Nwafor, Corporal Nwawo and all who gave their lives for
this struggle, all the charity organisations, the Christian Missions, Bruce
Mayrock whose sacrifice changed the minds of the Western world towards Biafra
genocide, the Charitas, all foreigners who assisted various ways to preserve
the children of God, the list is endless.
On this great day, we celebrate you all. Those children
who were starved to death by Yakubu Gowon, Obafemi Awolowo, Britain and her
allies. Your blood has been crying to Elohim for vengeance, that is why Nigeria
has remained Irredeemable not minding all the help she receives from outside
world.
I salute all those who have resurrected the Biafra spirit
of the modern-day agitation, those who gave their wisdom, their time, money and
their lives to this struggle, your sacrifices will never be in vain, you all
have your reward from Elohim.
Special Honour to His Royal Majesty, Igwe and Lolo Israel
Okwu Kanu, the Royal family that Elohim used to give us a worthy son; Mazi
Nnamdi Kanu, the fallen Heroes and Heroines of Operation Python dance 1, 2and 3,
Crocodile Smile 1,2 and 3, all the fallen heroes of 30th May 2015 and 2016,
those massacred in Aba, Igweocha, Nkpor, Head bridge Onitsha, Asaba etc. Your
reward is great in heaven, and your sacrifices have been our strength and fuel,
fuelling this struggle.
My respect goes to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu the leader of IPOB,
his deputy Uche Mefor and all the members of IPOB, all the freedom fighters
including those on social media night and day. Uncovering the lies of the enemy.
The ever-faithful boss of TBRV; Her Excellency Oluchi Christy Enyinnaya and her
crew of TBRV writers for their tenacity and resilience, we must continue. For
our salvation is nearer now, then when we first believed.
Biafra is already
here.
Adieu our Great Heroes and Heroines.
We shall meet to part no more.
