It is now certified that Free Nnamdi Kanu
Campaign that is slated for Friday, September 23, 2016, will not only be taking
place internationally, it will also take place in Biafraland. Coordinators of
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Biafraland revealed this to Biafra Choice
Writers recently. They explained that it would hit the zoo (Nigeria) in
extra-ordinary ways.
One of the coordinators, who did not want
his identity in print, said they were keeping much of the details under the
radar, but that when unveiled, the world would attest to the ingenuity and the
peace-lovingness of Biafran people. He was accosted during a national meeting
of Biafran coordinators in Akwa Ibom State, where he said they would be bringing
a dimension to independence struggle that the world has not known before.
Reminded that Nigerian President,
Muhammadu Buhari has advised Biafrans to forget about an independent state for
them, he replied that the Nigerian President only exercised his freedom of
speech. He however took time to take swipes at the Nigerian dictator: “It is
his right of freedom of speech to say what he liked; and it is our right of
self-determination as Biafrans, to do what we are doing. Buhari has his mouth
and he can use it. Even though he is an illiterate and talks a lot of rubbish from
time to time, it is his right and nobody should try to stop him from exercising
it.”
However, another Biafran at the venue of
the meeting, who did not veil his dislike of Buhari, added his voice to the
subject. He said: “Don’t mind that idiot Buhari and his useless tribesmen, the
Fulani people. They are the ones that should forget about Biafra and go their
own way because we have nothing in common with them; useless people”.
Meanwhile, the report coming from Biafra
leadership in London is that Biafrans all over Biafraland must observe a public
holiday on that date. It stated that while Biafrans in Diaspora would be
stepping out into the streets of the countries they are in, that those at home
should stay clear of the streets.
An announcement made by the Deputy Leader of
IPOB, Uche Mefor, on Radio Biafra, was that there would be a total shut down of
all activities on that day. He ordered that that all banks, markets, and schools must remain shut on that day to
avoid Nigerian police and army using the opportunity to kill innocent people.
Choice Writers investigation across
Biafraland and beyond showed a people willing to abide by all that was ordered.
Agunta Chiemerie, a trader in Ariara Market in Aba, Abia State, told our
correspondent that the instruction was the best announcement he has heard from
Radio Biafra since the beginning of the year. “Yes, we are going to stay home
that day to let Buhari and his fellow Nigerians know that they are wasting their
time trying to stop Biafra. Nodding in agreement with the news, he said Buhari
should come and force him out of his house that day. “Nigeria
gbakwa oku!” he finally declared in vernacular.
For Aniete Ekong who resides in Rivers State,
it would be a thing of joy to stay at home for Nnamdi Kanu’s freedom. He
considered it an honour to Kanu, which would greatly gladden his heart on the
day. He promised to use the day to pray for the peaceful coming of Biafra, and
the release of his leader, Nnamdi Kanu. “Is it not better to stay at home that
day and pray for my country, Biafra, than all those other useless public
holidays Nigerian government used to declare, especially the ones about Muslim
festivals. Wetin concern agbero with over-load? Useless people?” he concluded.
