In Defense Of Biafra Or Nothing by SexyRat: 7:06am On May 09, 2017
I know my Rivers State brothers will be worried again, but the inner drive to speak the truth and shame our common enemy, the North, is stronger than any other impediment. Sentiment, tribal affinity, misconceptions, bare-faced lies, unhistorical historical account etc have all stood in the way, but I think it is high time we cleaned up the Augean stables. It is time to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Yes, it is time to see beyond tribe and state. It is time to take a bird's eye view of our teething problems as a people. It is time to protract the horizon of our clamour for change. It is time to recover from many years of slumber and say together, "Nigeria has expired!"

Those who say I have jettisoned my Niger Delta people are not wise. First, who are Niger Deltans? Politically speaking, Niger Deltans are the oil-rich states in Nigeria. The Niger Delta includes the South-South states, Imo, Abia, Anambra (yet to be included , for oil exists there now) and Ondo states. How then does my identifying with the best struggle, the truest struggle, the IPOB Movement, betray anyone? On the contrary, I think my identifying with the Igbo and other members of the IPOB is my way of saying I CANNOT BE SEEN AS A TRAITOR LIKE THOSE THAT BETRAYED OJUKWU. My love for the Igbo and other members of the IPOB wave is my own way of saying I KNOW THE BEST ROUTE OUT OF THIS PRISON CALLED NIGERIA.

I not in any way against any other agitation for either restructuring or secession, but I think the core objectives of the IPOB VOLCANO OF REVOLUTION are most nifty for the dissolution of an enclave that is lucidly the product of FIAT. The IPOB, championed by the East with a rapacious space for the involvement of the South-South and every other part of Nigeria that feels IT IS TIME TO GO, is a movement that has saturated the consciousness of the exploiters with fear of IMMINENT FREEDOM from a marriage of convenience. Every revolution starts somewhere; it does not necessarily mean it belongs to its initiators. The Igbo felt their sister regions lacked the will to set this movement in motion. They have helped other regions in starting the car. All others need to do is BOARD. I am not only BOARDING but also contributing my academic missiles to the sustenance of this movement.

Those who want me to evince apathy on issues concerning the Igboman should note that;

1) in my most troubling times in life, one Igbo friend or another provided his or her shoulder for me to lean on;
2) the best gifts I have received from anyone in life came from my Igbo friends;
3) things my own siblings and Rivers' people could not do, my Igbo friends and acquaintances have done;
4) the best friends - platonic and intimate - I have and ever had are Igbo;
5) the people whose culture, tradition, history, values, language, and dream that I love, prefer, respect, and wish to always be with are the Igbo;
6) the Igboman, having affected my life greatly, is now my BROTHER; and
7) the only place I visit and feel at home, without fear of deafening gunshot from the nozzles of guns borne by irate cultists and eerie tales of beheaded humans, is the East. The East is where one goes to rest.

So, my dear brothers, seeing that I prefer the Igbo to even my Rivers' people, do you still blame me? To be honest with you all, as soon as Biafra comes, I will be with them. The Igboman has so impacted my life that to think without capturing one or two of them is not possible. For me, it is Biafra or nothing. I apologize to every other self-determinist and federalist. I prefer the Biafra agitation, since its thrust is SECESSION. Nigeria is an expired product. Restructuring Nigeria is akin to putting an old wine in a new bottle. It is not about the bottle: it is about wine. If you find a bad man clad in a new shirt, what you see us a BAD-MAN-IN-A-NEW-SHIRT, not a good man. The WORN does not transform the WEARER. A restructured Nigeria will, at best, become a renewed product of Lugard and the North: it does not erase its pejorative and unacceptable root, does it? What we need is a nation which formation we are part of. Biafra will give us that. But how can you even restructure without, first, restructuring the upper and lower legislature? Bills that seek Restructuring will die quick death. What we need is total rejection of Nigeria. God bless Nnamdi Kanu and the entire constituents of the IPOB.

Because of crude oil,Igbo that are usually smart and have foresight have turned to fools in rivers state. They are so enmeshed in their foolishness they fabricate stories against their brothers and then go on to believe these stories. They should continue. More power to their elbow.

Another cry for help by an ipob youth.
Everyday different epistle.
So many write ups about Rivers by these biafrans.
No day passes by without a cry from an ipob youth begging for Rivers to join their struggle.

Never knew I was born to be this important to certain people from the east.

God bless my fatherland.
God bless Rivers State.
God bless the SS.
God bless Niger Delta.

Here they go again.
Igbos will always term anything that doesn't fit into their ideology as Yoruba.

Very cliché.

The same way you term anything that doesn't fit into your F00lishness as IPOB.
