It is no more news to conscious individuals around the globe, that the sole aim why the Nigerian government banned history in secondary schools is the very phobia of the Biafran story. The Biafran story which is the story of the greatest exploit ever made by black, the story of great and unmatchable ingenuity of ill-equipped engineers during the war.
The story of how Young and ill-trained Biafran soldiers outsmarted British trained Nigerian soldiers to the extent of disarming them on several occasions. The ugly story of how Nigeria could not sustain a 3-year war against armless Biafrans thereby falling back on targeting Biafran civilians in order to weaken the soldiers in the front.
The Nigerian state over the years is afraid that the slightest knowledge of these events would revive the Biafran spirit which they abhor in all sense, thereby they made sure that history is forever abolished in Nigerian schools.
Unfortunately for the Nigerian state, the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB), led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu did not allow the sleeping dog to lay in peace. The emergence of Ipob made nonsense of Nigeria's evil arrangement to keep the masses in the dark over the happenings in the past. Through radio Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was able to evoke the greatest conscious freedom movement all over the world(such that has never happened in the history of Africa before).
The radio Biafra became a medium through which those hidden histories were taught, one needed not to visit a varsity to know how Biafrans overtook the Nigerian troops in Oye-agu Abagana.
The Biafran spirit that has been suppressed by the Nigerian government is being awakened by Mazi Kanu through the instrumentality of Radio Biafra London.
The total compliance of the just concluded sit-at-home order from Ipob leadership to Biafrans had just confirmed the fact that Biafra spirit has risen greater than it rose in the late ’60s.
It is a matter of fact, that all nooks and crannies of Biafraland were deserted like a land visited rapture Angel’s.
The roads were empty and peaceful as though it was not meant for vehicles to ply. Markets and schools were under locks and keys to the amazement of the Nigerian forces and political leaders who could not help but observe the sit at home.
IPOB deserves much respect and honor from every right thinking individual for the amount of consciousness they have provoked in the hearts of Biafrans is second to none.
God bless the indigenous people of Biafra
God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
God bless Biafra.
