A Wiseman's Opinion About Nigeria And Biafra by Donpeak(f): 12:33pm On Aug 18, 2015 |
Having read his (Built 2last) opinion about the ongoing heat of realising an independent nation by the Biafrans, I deemed it necessary to create a thread for it. well meaning Nigerians/Nairalanders, Do you agree or disagree with his submission? Re: If Igbos Are Butchered Again, Nigeria Will Break; Fani- Kayode Warns by Built2last : 9:55am "The hatred people have for Fani kayode and PDP will not allow them read what he said in the above article and the sense in it. I know Junaid will not make such senseless statement during GEJs time but now that PMB holds sway. we should expect that. below is my earlier assertions on realisation of Biafra and eventual breakaway of Igbos from Nigeria. If Igbos want to go. whats the big deal. all these attention and palpable fear of Nigerians on Igbos is becoming too much. haba. If they want to go, lets free them peacefully. all these Igbo and Biafra news is becoming boring. I think that the governments move against Radio Biafra is coming rather late and giving it all the publicity they never had. I am not one of those who fool themselves that Biafra will not be realised one day. History has it that those who have been held as slaves or third class citizens always gain freedom. The Jews gained freedom from the Egyptians after 450years, Indian got independence from Britain, 1948 the Jews stubbornly carved out a state for themselves in the middle east. The black Americans now vote and contest elections. The scotish will break away from the British someday..its just time. The followership of Radio Biafra is crazy and if the agitation has not died 40years after the war. It wont die again. White Americans told black Americans that they will remain in perpetual servitude. Today history and time has proven those white Americans wrong. Pro-Biafran groups are doing all they can to gain global world leaders attention and trust me they are gaining momentum. The last Biafra day celebration accross the globe gives credence to this. BBC, New York Times and Jerusalem Post has reported in Biafra in the last one week. Thats a reach out if you ask me. Here is my proposition. I will not tell Igbos to go or stay. It is their right to choose what they want. As a matter of fact the push by many people for them not to go is giving the struggle much more popularity. There was war in Nigeria years back with a monumental pogrom that left many Igbos dead. Nigerian state must not pretend all is well and keep moving ahead. There is need for a reconciliation and assimilation meeting between the state of Nigeria abd Igbo leaders. Ask your Igbo friends at work if they truly will desire to leave Nigeria. 8 out of ten will say yes. The more reason i think the agitation for Biafra actualisation will not die. The Niger Deltans who were cold enemies with Igbos are gradually aligning and having clandestine meetings. Veraciously clamping down on Igbo Biafra will not work. The support and sponaorship is high and we must not pretend that the inventive power of the Igbos will not help them in this Radio war. How about NBC licensing Radio Biafra with a Different name like Radio Igbo or something else. I write this because i have the deepest concern for what will become of our great country Nigeria in the coming years if its not well managed. I am married to an industrous Igbo woman who has given me 2 sons. I asked her on bed last night if she supports realisation of Biafra, she said she will sponsor yhe agitation when the time is right. My wife has never mentioned Biafra but its deeply seated in her. We are both highly educated and understand rights. She and my two sons are all i've got. The Irish marry the English, yet the Irish is planning to secede, so, don't crucify me. There is need for a wound healing meeting now before its too late. We will appear delusional if we think that the Nigeria of 1960 is same today. History has a way of proving those who say things are impossible wrong. Some people said PMB will never become Nigeria's president again. They said he was old, he is a dictator and all sorts. Today he is the president. Biafra will be realised if Igbos are not fully re-integrated into Nigerian politics and all the hate against them stamped out." 1 Like |
