BIAFRA She was the beauty of her motherland, and everyone respected and admired her. Unlike her fellow sisters, she had big dreams and was determined to fulfil her dreams regelardless of the obstacles that stood her way. She made her people proud and they returned the favour by making her their leader. But life is not a bed of roses, you know. For those who envied her progress gathered in conspiracy against her. They denied her goodness and beauty, and they turned their backs against her. They swiftly forgot all her good deeds and rejected her; and she became an outcast in her motherland. But she wasn't alone. She had offsprings. Her children grew up quickly and they grew strong. It wasn't long until they rose against their oppressors. They fought for their mother, shed blood for their mother and died for their mother. Who else could they die for, if not mother? But, like every war, the only thing can match up to the number of bullets ejected is the number of people terminated. They grew weary of the lives lost and sought to make peace. And that was how the dreadful battle ended. Days embraced days and became month(s); and months embraced months and became year(s) . They learned to live in oppression and marginalization. But one cannot be fooled twice. Peace without equity is only ephemeral. Silence doesn't necessarily mean weakness. Mother's enemies never knew silence can be violent. Mother's children were only studying their enemies. They knew that mother's enemies were cunning and witty, so they studied hard to match the enemies with those qualities. They acquired great knowledge and they have emerged once again, much more determined. This time they attacked with diplomacy under the leadership of one of mother's brave sons. He brought the war to their legal doorsteps, wittingly avoiding violence. He drew the first blood with a blunt sword of orientation. He equipped her mother's children with knowledge, and he gave them a motive. The war has started and mother's children, despite the glaring disavatages, remain confident of victory. They are fighting for their mother, and her name is BIAFRA. #GivePeaceAChance If you enjoyed my little write-up, kindly visit: https://www.nairaland.com/3985381/win-10000-naira-writing-short/2 and like it.

To make wealth, it all starts from your mind,followed by your action!! I got a cassava pounding machine that pounds fufu and yam ,and this has increased my sales and yield money which has made me know what it takes to be rich and happy I graduated from federal university of owerri,and after school the first year Of my life was hell. I had no money to pay my bills and life was just rough. ..so I went into construction and was taught how to produce and repair heavy machines used for pounding fufu,Yam,etc WHICH makes life easy and saves time and energy instead of pounding manually. It was a mind blowing experience as I found the secret of making such machines. The first week after construction ,I bought already processed cassava,cooked them and pounded it with my machine, I wrapped it with the help of my mother and we distributed it to d market,restaurant,hotels,weeding events etc..it sold fast and the next week I pounded 3bags in just an hour.I have made lot of money, and as I speak I have ten people working and distributing my fufu products for me..people come to my house to order for it and that stopped all the frustated struggle towards becoming rich I have machines for sale as I speak, I will also train you on how to produce and distribute your product to any area you desire to sell it..I will also teach you how and where to get already processed cassavas.this machine pounds fufu (cassava) as quick as anything and its far more better than the manual way(mortar pounding) most nairalanders are now using this machine to make money for themselves as have taught them how to increase wealth without stressing much. I am creating a platform to make fufu pounding with this machine a high business in Nigeria,where youths can be self employed with no stress..all you need is get the machine and I will show you the next step to make more cash Intrested people should call and WhatsApp me 08103107555 Email..elvisfrosh@gmail.com facebook..elvis scientist if interested call or add me on WhatsApp 08103107555 email.elvisfrosh @gmail.com
