Editor’s note:

The leader of the Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu on
Thursday, May 12, released a poem from Kuje
Prison in Abuja. The letter which was sent by
IPOB to NAIJ.com was said to have been released
through a lawyer representing Kanu. Sit back,
relax and enjoy yourself while you read through
Kanu’s poem below.

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra,
Nnamdi Kanu

I am Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of Indigenous
people of Biafra
and also the director of radio Biafra.
I have restored Biafra without a gunshot,
I have destroyed Nigeria with truth and
I have conquered Nigeria
with Chiukwuokikeabiama.
They waited for me to bomb and shoot,
but i refused to use metallic bullet and
atomic bombs,


I only used intellectual bullets and bombs and I
have
flawlessly won the war.
I stood just ordinary radio station and propagated
the gospel of Chukwuokikeabiama,
the word of God is power and that power have
destroyed Nigeria and restored Biafra.
I observed freedom of speech and fearlessly
preached truth,


I am fearless even before death because am
prophesy of over
400 years ago.
If God is not man then his prophesy shall come to
pass and those that
stand against God will know Chiukwuokikeabiama
is creation.
I have lawfully followed stipulated procedures for
self-determination and have never
been involved in any form of violence or crime, I
have always
told you Biafrans to be disciplined and law-abiding
and
you have made me proud.


I am grateful that we are whiter than white and
whiter than snow.
We have no dishonour neither do we have any
spot, they have killed us mercilessly
and we have never killed back yet they arrested
us and tried to break us to betray Biafra.
They arrested me for saying the truth, nothing
but the truth.
They arrested me for demanding Biafra,
they arrested me for embracing freedom of
speech.


They conspired and arrested me for being lawful
and demanding attention.
They arrested me because peace is prohibited
in Nigeria; they arrested me
because dialogue is impossible in Nigeria.
They arrested me because I refused to take
up arms, they arrested me because
I defeated them intellectually.
When a man is defeated by reason, he sought to
discharge
his frustration on justice.
I am a prisoner of
conscience and I am
sure the world still have conscience.


I am Nnamdi Kanu, I have chosen death, I shall
die for
Biafra and let my death give my generation a
better life, let my
death be a guarantee for a better future, let my
death be
your smile and let my death end your
marginalization, subjugation, slavery and tears.


I am Nnamdi Kanu the lion that chose death over
the abuse of
his people. I instead die than renounce Biafra,
give me Biafra or kill me is where I stand.
I have been arrested for nothing, I am a prisoner
of conscience,
they are here to break me, to make me renounce
Biafra but they don’t know me, they don’t know
Biafra is my
religion and they don’t know renouncing Biafra is
a death
sentence, is like committing suicide.


In their widest dream shall I commit suicide and
I assure them that days of
reckoning will come, for Chiukwuokikeabiama
shall
avenge the death of His children.
I have taken an oath with the name of God that I
shall never
betray or give up Biafra because I knew this day
will come.


I am physically and psychologically prepared
for this period.
I took the oath and staked my family,
my generations and everything I am,
and so giving up Biafra in any condition is
impossible, even at gun point, I will only
accept my inevitable death than renounce Biafra.

I have been arrested before but this time is more
severe, the
harder the price is the closer the Kingdom of
God, even
Yawehesua prayed that only if this cup will pass
over him.
They came with every tactics they know to
deceive me into
signing off Biafra, they promised me freedom,
heaven
and earth, but I told devil to get behind me for
the Kingdom of
God worth nothing man can offer.


I am more intelligent than them and I will defeat
them to a
point nothing will be left to fight for, Biafra will
be and it has come to stay.
I appeared in the court on 19th Feb 2016, in the
face of this
persecution to coerce me into giving up Biafra, I
wore a clean
white cloth and tagged Biafran flag under the
pocket of my
white lace.


I tagged the flag there because that is where life
is and this is to tell you that Biafra is why i
breathe.
I will never ever disappoint you and will die for
Biafra to come.
The Biafran flag badge tagged on my white lace is
to remind
the world that I am resolute and shall never in
this life accept their gold to sale Biafra.


The world has no option except giving me Biafra
and
everything in Nigeria shall be at risk if anything
happens to me.
Biafrans love me and together we have chosen
death or give
us Biafra, should anything happen to me then
my command remains.
Meanwhile, I have followed you great Biafrans
and I must
confess that I am satisfied, you have made me
proud and my
message to you all is to stay strong, remain
resolute and
focused.


We must not give up, we should continue
pushing strong, we should continue our
peaceful protest because it is frustrating Nigerian
government and we must keep spreading the
message of
Biafra and at the end we shall win.

lmao, a poem that touches the heart.

People discover themselves in detention. Books are written behind bars too.

If not anything, everyone and the world have known how lawless Nigeria is.

Rather die like a man than live like a coward.... Big ups Maazi Nnamdi Kanu

if we soldiers like him, chibok girls will be back by now people like this who are willing to die for what they love should be cherished. Imagine if our leaders are willing to die for us like this instead of throwing potbelly and fraud competition . This is patriotism in a time where people don't want to die or suffer.

neva knew he was a poet n I'm sure he neva knew tooooo!






Buhari shud b thrown in a Prison in oda to discova his talent!

So writing a poem from prison automatically traslates to him wanting to die for biafra?
I takes more than a poem, Junior.

If Nnamdi Kanu is fighting for the succession of Biafra in this manner, i tell you he is on wrong path, i read the poem, and will blame him for one reason, broadcasting and promoting the succession of biafra live on radio is what we called treason,it is a threat to the government and the unity of the nation, you don't expect the president to react softly to an issue that send the nation into war years ago. I hope the biafrans will settle this case in a more matured manner rather this confrontations and protests.

anyway, I thought he would just end it by surrendering instead of being stubborn. I agree with you, the last time I checked ojukwu ran away

He might be in the prison, but his brain is working 24/7.May God be with you Nnamdi.

Clowns!

Comman see shakespeares o, lalasticlala

All I see here is bravery! Kudos Kanu, in your time shall the rising sun shine so brightly that all may see its radiance. Kudos to all the IPOB families, original umu-Chineke.

Trash. Your opinions are not well informed and it is filled with unqualified bias. So it is only meant for the dustbins!

But, you are in the comfort of home wishing someone to die for struggle you claimed you believe in. What a deceit. I pity for those who you and Kanu have misled.

"... the Kingdom of
God worth nothing man can offer."


Point to PONDER!

Na today? He will soon release ewi. By the time PMB is through with him he will see goat and call it broda.

kanu is slowly losing his psyche. This looks more like rantings from an insane fellow. This dude needs help fast

IPOB Dogs can't even release their leader from the hand of bubu
Same people told us Buhari played to the gallery for arresting namadi Kunu.
Next time u come to this World you will know how to respect Elders.
Chukwu okike abiamo on Valium 10

God bless Nnamdi

Posterity shall be grateful to your generations.

Chukwu okike abiama would finish what he has started.

Even at the face of death, you speak fearlessly. They taught by now you would have denounced Biafra but rather it has made you stronger.

Ride on brother..Anyi nonyere gi, anyi agaghi ahapu gi.

Abeg make d warders add more water to his stoned beans, he go soon sing the Zoo national anthem
But he try sha, he wan dey form Mandela inside d Zoo cage

Although this looks like what Nnamdi Kanu would write, I'm sceptical about if it came from him. A lot nonsense has been released in the past that allegedly came from Kanu but later turned out to be fake.

Either way, no doubt that Kanu single handedly shook up the establishment without firing a shot. Kanu believes in the freedom of his people and is willing to die for Biafra. Most of the Nigerians who will come here to criticise Kanu will never be willing to die for Nigeria. Kanu is a freedom fighter and a prisoner of conscience. Whatever happens, I'm in full support of my fellow Igbos seceeding from the British built Zoo called Nigeria
