4TH SEPTEMBER 2017
In such a time in the
history of man, it became pertinent to share experiences, gather more facts and
explore new grounds until each and every anambrarian understands the vanity of
voting in Nigeria and the game of politicians in the state.
Few days ago, we were
witnessing an occasion(new yam festival) in one of the towns of biafraland. We
were of course there on a mission as we were rightfully informed that a notable
politician will be there as he was one of the chief guests.
Just as we expected, he
came in convoy and after few magics of the politicians, he dropped a sum of
400,000 for the youths and aged people at the occasion, but it was all a
political game. How do we know that? As the youths were exchanging blows just
to have a share of the bloody naira, the young politician and his host were
sitting watching them with mocking interest. Drinking and laughing at the
youths whom they were only giving a test as they warm up to open their arsenal
of cash stored in a land only the gods can tell during electioneering campaign.
The host said to the visiting brother in crime, '"can you see the people
fighting for Biafra, Claiming they will boycott election , only 40,000 and they
are all falling upon each other to get a share
The word was enough to any
right thinking being to understand the game. The frustrated youths couldn't say
no to such money They couldn't resist the temptation because they are jobless
and hungry Because they have children and parents to take care of. The youths
and people were more keen on surviving the next minute than fighting for Biafra
to come.
That is how the ruling
class have conditioned the minds of the common man, the economic system in shambles is also a big tool
in the hands of the few rich who controls the masses using economic power
because people are hungry and desperate to survive for the day. We all must
understand that this is what we are fighting against We are fighting against people
who already believe that nothing can give them so much control over the people
than the cash they have to throw about during election period We are dealing
with people who never believe that a time will come in the history of humanity
that man will defile power and food for the sake of generations yet unborn.
Our youths must understand
that nothing is more important than the future Our people must understand that
whatever the politicians (directly or indirectly) give to them is not without a
price higher than what they were given in million fold. You are simply selling
the greatness and future of your generations to come.
What it will take us to
change the mess we are into is not voting and hoping on God. It is not trying
to survive today while tomorrow plans for itself. It is not resigning to play
politics of a thousand naira just because you are frustrated.
Changing our situation
requires men with strong heart. It requires men of great character. To change
the future for the better is to despise their money for once. It is time to
rise up and stop them from using us as caricature before fools. We must rise up
and stop them from using us as species in biology laboratory.
We must boycott anambra election no matter
the psychological game they are coming up with No matter the economical
strangulations they are introducing. Is time to prove to the world that we can
pay the price for the future of our posterity. Boycott anambra election for
Biafra to come Boycott anambra election for the sake of freedom and progress.
