Biafra : I’m in Biafra struggle for my children, grandchildren — 75-year-old agitator

Image result for I’m in Biafra struggle for my children, grandchildren — 75-year-old agitator
I can’t run because of anything or from anything. It is better for the person chasing me to come and kill me; I won’t run. I can’t run while I’m on this Biafra land.  I’m not into this struggle for myself; I’m doing this for my children and grandchildren. We must be free because they have enslaved us enough. And I don’t think it is proper for a normal human being to be a slave to another.
For your information, they all support this cause. How many of them are graduates? Do they have jobs? Aren’t many of them jobless? And why won’t they support anything that will bring joy to them in future? Go to the streets of South-East and tell me what you see. Our graduates and best brains, many of them, are riding Okada (commercial motorcycles) and Keke (commercial tricycles).
But in the North, if you have finished secondary education, you will be on the payroll of the local government. They are using us. All the resources are from Biafra land; they still use our resources for their development while we are suffering here. And if we talk, AK47 would be directed at you.
Yes, if you are a woman and you go to farm, they will rape and kill you. Their cattle are destroying our farmlands with impunity because their intention is to put us in abject poverty and perpetual suffering. My happiness and confidence come from the assurance that Nnamdi Kanu has given us that we will be free. People call me Mummy Biafra but I don’t care.
They are not afraid. Mind you, my husband is dead and my children don’t bother about how involved I am with the struggle because the actualisation of Biafra someday will benefit them and their unborn children. My son is in Part Harcourt, Rivers State and my daughter is in Enugu. I have a child who is also a journalist. So, they are not afraid for me.
Even if I don’t live to see the expected benefits, I don’t care. However, I’m sure my children will enjoy those benefits and I’m sure they will all get nice jobs. In my grave, I shall be happy. I will beat my chest and say I did it and that Biafra happened because of the sole reason that we believed in it. If those alive at the time would be able to see and enjoy the benefits, then don’t worry about me. That is enough for me.

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement. The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”.  Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021. It has been observed that IPOB is in disintegration following Nnamdi Kanu’s rearrest and detention. The present situation of the Biafran movement can be likened to that of sheep without a shepherd. However, Kanu in a conversation with his sib...

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role. Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, capturing coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. The blockade imp...
