Generally, Blacks are known to be lazy, timid, cowardly, noisy, dreadful terrorists and illiterates. These are not just notions, Blacks have also proved these perceptions to be true. Blacks' greatest woe is their subjection to greedy and wicked leaders. This too, can be traced to the black man's cowardice towards challenging these evil leaders and his unreadiness to rule his destiny than blame "fate and luck".
Contrary to the above assertion, Britain, in their era of colonization, met a very different breed of Blacks in Biafra; Blacks who challenged their authority, Blacks who do not easily give-in to intimidation, Blacks who believe they can achieve whatever their minds perceive, Blacks who do not see the Whites as demi gods, Blacks who believe their destinies lie in their own hands.

In our bid to restore our nation (Biafra) that was annexed to the Islamic Caliphate (Nigeria) in 1914 by Fredrick Lugard, Britain has aided the Nigerian forces to massacre us. Children were starved to death, women were tortured and raped, young men were killed, communities were bombed, relief centres were air-raided, over 3 million souls lost their lives -just for Britain to retain her control over the people and resources of Biafra.

The war later ended in January 1970 on papers, the killings have continued, the vanquished have strived to survive, properties and monies were siezed. Notwithstanding, Biafrans have risen to dominate the top 20 richest people in Nigeria today. We have proved to be indestructible. Today, we feed the 'victors'.
In recent years, despite several other voices that rose but failed to maintain their stance for Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB), have proved beyond every reasonable doubt that his "Biafra or Death" philosophy is not a jape. He has proved that there is a Black man who cannot sacrifice his freedom and belief on the alter of cheap popularity and wealth. He has proved that Biafra is capable of producing leaders that can transform Africa and Africans.

Nnamdi Kanu was kidnapped on 14 October 2015 by members of the Nigerian Department of States Security Services. Despite court order to release him on bail on 19 October 2015 at the Magistrate Court Abuja and another court order to release him UNCONDITIONALLY on 17 December 2015 at the Federal High Court Abuja by Justice Adeniyi Ademola, the federal government of Nigeria has continued to detain him; thanks to the British government.
Charges have been transformed from one to the other by the federal government of Nigeria, Judges have washed their hands off the case than jail an innocent man (as recommended by Muhammadu Buhari in a media chat), yet Kanu has not shifted grounds. He remains resolute, and the agitation for the restoration of Biafra has grown from strength to strength since his incarceration.

In Nnamdi Kanu's words to Justice Binta Nyako (the judge presiding over his case) at the Federal High Court on Tuesday, 13 December 2016, he condemned the "travesty of justice" by Binta Nyako. He rejected the federal government's plans to conduct a secret trail on his case. In Kanu's words, "Buhari accused me in the public, so my trial must be done in the public. No witness with fake names and address will stand to testify against me."
He further blasted the federal government over killing peaceful protesters (as also reported by Amnesty International) and revealed that the employment of masked witnesses to testify against him is a proof that Nigeria has nothing to convict him of.
These events have further strengthened the belief and trust of all lovers of freedom, friends and supporters of IPOB, that Nnamdi Kanu has not, is not and will never go back in his efforts towards restoring the ancient city of Biafra.
