Biafra: If They Can't Guarantee Our Freedom, They Can't Give Restructuring, “Handshake Across The Niger,” A De Javu Of Judas Ischariot's Kiss

On 11th of January, 2018, the pan Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze-Ndigbo and its Yoruba counterpart, Afenifere, along with the Middle-Belt ethnic groups in Nigeria, converged in Enugu in an alliance, to discuss the politically deceiving term "restructuring'' which has since last year, become one of the most burning issues in Nigeria. It now appears this term always rear its head whenever Nigerian politicians sense that the people have deserted them. They have embraced this restructuring saga as a political remedy to apply whenever the music changes negatively.

Sorry to say this, you must be a compound idiot not to see this concert by the political elders of the Nigerian government as a scam to keep their people in the wilderness forever. There is nothing to gain from leaders and elders who had such a monumental gathering but couldn't attach much prompt action and meaning for over hundreds of their people that died by the sharp daggers and Ak-47 rifles of rampaging Fulani herdsmen few days ago.

These breed of elders cum leaders have lost the beacon of hope to any sensible youth. They in toto, are initiated and baptised in the evil ocean of "destruction'' not "restructure'' to the extent that they have lost the feeling of looking back at their spoils. They are all in the same truck of deceit and evil agenda which have always been the hallmark of Nigerian politics from the cradle.

One would have thought that one of the core objectives of the gathering was to discuss and map out practical ways to bring to a dead end, the menace of the failed-to-acknowledge terrorist group generally referred as Fulani herdsmen. My question to those who continually prove themselves to be incapable of discerning the truth; those who sheepishly believe in the spiteful words of the elders of doom, how many times has the call for restructuring hit a dead end in Nigeria? Magret Ekpo went and failed, Boro also failed, Ken Saro-Wiwa died in the process and Ojukwu's attempt metamorphosed into a full-blown bloody war. Even Nigerian politicians know beyond every reasonable doubt that this cannot work.

Reasons abound. Going by the conditions of fiscal and true restructuring (federalism), you will see that the whole problems of the Eastern region; the reason they clamour for a separate nation, will be solved outrightly. When they are allowed to have their own separate police and army force, there would be no one on the road masquerading as a security officer, extorting money from them. By so doing, the most dangerous form of marginalisation which they have been lamenting on, including economic blockade, will disappear like an apparition. Even the entire international seaports and airports under blockade by the federal government will start functioning. The likes of Innoson Motors, lbeto Cement, etc, will be left to excel without any torment or witch-hunt. What about the oil sector? Hmm! Restructuring is the same as freedom and the northerners understand that and will never allow restructuring to see the light of the day.

If Nigeria is restructured today, within three years, the north will be the one seeking for freedom from Nigeria, not Biafrans and then freedom would be as peaceful as anything you can imagine because both resources and power would be much in abundance in the east. The politicians understand this and they are using it against the Biafran citizens to give them endless hope in order to make them abandon the Biafra project which is the epic solution to their problems.

I want to make use of this opportunity to appeal in plain words, to the people of the old Eastern region called Biafra to embark on self-education. Use your tongue to count your teeth. For how long will IPOB keep on educating their people? Reason with your senses and give yourselves the necessary advice needed. Remember, these elders are the evil angels who have come to hijack the people's fight to freedom. Just as in the Bible, the Israelites were instructed to look up to the snake if they want to be saved, so also is Yahweh telling us again to look up to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB in order to be saved.

Remember and never ever forget. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is 400 years old because he is the prophecy of 400 years ago by Prophet Nostradamus; the man who saw the future. In this our time, the word of 400 years ago is made fresh in him through He who sent him.
