When that day comes, I believe that the inaugural speech by the leader the people shall elect will start with the words ‘We’re Going Home and Welcome Home’.
In the words of Dr Martin Luther King Jr ‘I have a dream that one day Biafra shall be a free, independent nation’ with her boarders secured and her people safe and secure in the land which the Lord our God gave us.
However, at this present moment in time, duty calls. Duty calls for all Biafrans in and outside our home land to rally for the final push to freedom, as we leave behind wasted years of suffering, unproductivity, marginalisation, hatred, nepotism, victimisation and for millions death, in the hands of regressive and oppressive leadership of the artificial state of Nigeria; Created by the British colonial powers for the benefit of the British and their minority Fulani friends.
I am mindful to keep this first corner short, so I close by re-emphasising that Biafrans have that inalienable right to self-determination as enshrined in the United Nations Charter. The right to choose where they want to belong politically, to associate freely and to worship freely without fear of harassment and attack.
The British people exercised that right in a referendum to exit the European Union in 2016, the Scottish people also in an Independent referendum in 2014. As Britain negotiated terms of their exit from the EU the issue of Gibraltar was discussed with Spain. British representative for Gibraltar emphasised that the people of Gibraltar have the right to decided where they want to belong, either remain British Territory or switch to a Spanish one.
In the same vain as the people of Gibraltar, the people of Biafra also have the right to decide whether to be part of Nigeria or exit from Nigeria and be an independent, free nation.
So, all Biafrans must know that the restoration project is right, worthy and holy. Therefore we should embrace it, work for it, prepare for it and at last deliver a peaceful, productive and prosperous nation where all people control their resources, determine their economic direction and how to police and secure their local communities and provinces without undue interference from Central Administration.
So come on, arise and let’s go and restore Biafra and build a nation where all will be happy and proud.
