The Song Before The
Genocide By
Emmanuel Ugwu


The song is a sincere hate
memo. It is tribal character
assassination conceived as
a preface to actual physical
slaughter. When a group of Northern youths
gathered in Arewa House, Kaduna
and issued a ‘quit notice’ to all
Igbos resident in the Northern
Nigeria from that symbolic bastion
of Arewaland, I hastened to clarify
that "It’s A Genocide Notice, Not A
Quit Notice." My reading of that
thinly veiled threat of pogrom has
proved to be accurate. A hate
song advocating for the urgent
extermination of the Igbo race is
currently a hit single in the North.
The genocidal anthem is a product
of calculated penmanship. It’s an
apologia for ethnic cleansing. An
Igbophobic manifesto, complete
with ‘reasons’ why the ‘Inyamirin’
should be wiped off the land.
The song, which was recorded by
an unknown banshee, starts with
an atrocious prayer to ‘Allah’ for
message discipline: "First I want to
appeal to Allah to help me in this
song not to deviate…" The rest of
the ‘song’ promoted the need for
Igbo-bashing: it denied the
humanity of the Igbo people, found
them collectively guilty of fictional
crimes and sentenced them to
communal death.
The song declared all people of
Igbo roots "ungrateful people and
fools;" "a curse to Nigeria;" folks
"whose existence and birth as a
people in Nigeria is useless;’’ a
tribe of "bastards" whose abortion
would have blessed the earth more
than their birth.
The song further indulges in fake
history, lying that "in the
beginning" Igbos had no name and
identity and that "they have
nothing since their origin." It
claims that "Igbos are the ones
that ruined this country." Igbos are
the vampires masquerading as
bloodthirsty Fulani herdsmen and
Boko Haram terrorists, "killing
people without shame." Igbos are
"the ones destroying our youths
and children with drugs."
From start to finish, the song
scapegoats Igbo people. The theme
is generalized demonization. All
Igbos are inherently evil. No Igbo
person is deserving of earthly
existence or human tolerance.
The song is a sincere hate memo.
It is tribal character assassination
conceived as a preface to actual
physical slaughter. The goal of the
song is to stir the macabre dance
of an Igbo massacre.
Those who scorned the "Kaduna
Declaration" as the
inconsequential bluster of some
jobless attention seekers must now
pause and recognize the Nazist
tone of the musical spin-off from
that "quit notice."
The blanket inquisition of the Igbo
people and their judgment were
spelled out in black and white. The
hate verse was vocalized in Hausa
and performed in the song form.
The adoption of the sound of music
was meant to spread the contagion
to ubiquity.
The song is a programming
language. Its purpose is to
condition the mind of the Hausas
and ready them to a manifest a
rabid Pavlovian response. The
intent is to raise the level of
appropriacy of Igbo killing in the
North so that when the set time
comes, the murder of the
‘Inyamirin’ will be instinctual and
automatic.
The use of the song medium was to
engender a climate conducive for
the butchery of the Igbos. The
function of the song is to
popularize an Igbo version of
antisemitism. To build a
groundswell of race-specific rage
that can only be satiated with
copious blood from a Holocaust-
grade purge.
This corruption of the song genre
must worry all good men. Hate
speech traveling on the wings of
melody promises exponential
bloodbath. Hate speech shaped as
a song will fulfill violence on
steroids.
A song is hypnotic in effect. It
attaches itself to the heart and
mind more easily than the spoken
word. It is a more enduring state
of propaganda.
The mind-bending anthem topping
the chart in the North is not a
fleeting fad: it will not fade into
oblivion. It is a recipe for carnage:
it will demagogue Northerners into
a fetish of killing that is more
frenzied than the anti-Igbo
slaughters triggered by a
cartoon and a column.
The North is the less literate half
of Nigeria. It is home to a majority
of Nigeria’s out of school children.
The streets of the North teem
with 9.5 million abandoned kids
and teens. They are an
impressionable and excitable
legion, ready to generate hell on
cue.
It’s only a matter of time before
the unquestioning Almajiri army
memorizes that song. At the right
prompting, the maddening
falsehood lodged in their heads
will drive them to give full
expression to the song. And the
mass murder of the Igbo people
will yield orgasmic entertainment
for the hungry, disillusioned foot
soldiers.
The unleashing of the song
followed the reiteration of the
"quit notice" by the leaders of
Northern youths. This indicates
that there is an orderly plot.
There's method in the madness.
Sadly, the Nigerian state is part of
the bid to enact the sequel to
1966 anti-Igbo pogrom. The federal
government and security agencies
have declined to take proactive
steps to avert the scheduled doom.
The authorities and law
enforcement have only helped to
prepare the stage for the
impending disaster.
The Nigerian Police announced the
commencement of a manhunt for
the publishers of the ‘"quit
notice." But it almost immediately
begged off the search in the most
shameful instance of cowardly
surrender of power by a federal
police. Even after the miscreants
started a circus tour and dared the
police to arrest them , the Nigerian
Police did nothing.
Acting President Yemi Osibanjo
chose to address the threat to
commit crimes against humanity
with parleys of appeasement . The
pastor asked the threatening party
to repent. And he begged the
threatened not to take the
genocidal vow seriously.
As the October 1 deadline
approaches, the Igbos in the North
must disregard any hollow
guarantee of safety issued by the
government. They must appreciate
their vulnerability in a region that
habitually sheds Igbo blood to no
consequence. They must respect
the meanness of the misanthropes
who detest their existence.
Commonsense advises that Igbo
settlers in the North should flee for
the sake of their own lives. A
foreordained war does not
consume the lame. The ocean
cannot drown a man who is far
away from the waters.

ok

Nnamdi Kanu started the hate speech. He called them animals and even threatened them with violence. Those who did not speak up against Nnamdi Kanu doesn't have the moral authority to condemn hate songs by northerners.

. yorubas think that this time,we are going to be on the defensive line,we are going to bring the war to their doorstep in Oyo,ogbomosho and Lagos

we have been planning this for a very long time. we will revenge the 1966 genocide

the hypocritical greedy scumbags called the OHANEZE and south eastern Governors and senators will not talk now abi.

Anyway, as for the abokis, if them try anyhow, them go see anyhow. We re fully ready. Igbo's Dont back out, they re not afraid and will not retreat. It is only the foolish Igbo's who still reside in the north out of ignorance after they have been warned to quit that satanic zone will be victims.

The biafrans are only asking for peaceful referendum. It is only in Nigeria that Referendum means war. No man or group has monopoly to violence. Everybody is entitled to Self defence.

PS: quote me, thunder will fire u and that ur device

As much as I don't supply that song, the truth is nnamdi kanu started it when he started calling nigeria zoo'saying he will destroy the country and yet you expect no response from his clandestine statement.

Why are these pigs always playing the victim, Jesus Christ!

Persecution complex infested bastards.
