I draw inspiration from one of the legendary Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s evergreen songs: Beast of No Nation, “This uprising will bring out the beast in us”.

Radio Biafra is the latest topic in town when talking about ethnic divides in our dear country and we all know about this highly controversial radio station. Before I proceed, I’ll like to give a little background info on what the radio station stands for:

The radio station and its leader for the liberation of the Biafran Nation…

That was the extract of my unpublished piece on Radio Biafra: I’m a Fan, Are You?

Now, its leader has been captured/detained/abducted etc.,(we all can use our preferred adjective) but we all know the young man is nowhere to be found free as claimed by the Department of State Security.

The recent protests have also been massive as some opine even the great “Ojukwu” couldn’t amass the same number of support he’s presently getting.

I really have no stake in the staying or leaving of the Igbos so I write as an objective analyst. In reality, the question I ask young Igbos is this: Who will be the leaders of Biafra if you leave?. The question is very critical because it is no rocket science that the present Igbo Governors will superintend over the Biafra Nation.

We all know the reason for disintegration as sold by the elites to the young generation is simply marginalization!

Yes, I know and we all agree but have you asked yourself this question; Has there been any cause fought for by these so-called elites without no underlying political inference? Let’s take our minds back to the most recent ones, Bring Back Our Girls, Occupy Nigeria, Save Lasu, Save Nigeria Group and a host of others.

These are the same set of people who when they feel and or are marginalized will use the youths to cry out for their cause. Do not be deceived, as much as having Biafra is a very good dream for the Igbo youths, have you pondered on whether the leaders of the Biafran Nation will be different from the Igbo leaders now who have at countless number of times failed the average Igbo youth.

We need to come to terms with the fact that if your voice does not count in your ward, local government, and state at present, Biafra would not benefit you when it materializes.

I therefore would like to encourage all Igbo youths that “politicians are out to use you for protests that you won’t be a stakeholder when it yields fruits! Now tell me, how many youths who protested for the BBOG movement which was largely politically motivated are stakeholders in today’s government.

I also would like to advice my Biafran youths, please do not agitate for a separation IF you won’t be an on ground stakeholder when it is birth and not some Facebook, Instagram or Twitter commentator while you are no where close to the powers that be in Biafra.

Go and study history very well you too or even as th case maybe an stop being in the dark!

When Nigeria was about to gain independence, our supposed members of the parliament forced their way into government. When the military was about to to hand over to civilian rule, they retired and became the ruling class...Spain/Catalonia, Sudan/South Sudan, The Yugoslavia Nation etc...

Like I encouraged, if you know you will not be a stakeholder when Biafra comes into light, don't let them USE you to achieve their selfish gains!

On ground stakeholder o not some NL stakeholder!
