Due to wanton killings of unarmed protesters of Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB) since the arrest of their leader Nnamdi Kanu.
On October 14, 2015 the leader of IPOB was
arrested with two others, which has cause massive protest around the world. His
supporters, i.e. IPOB has been killed, injured and kidnapped by Nigeria
Government. These innocent men and woman are just doing what the law both local
and international empowered them to do. Nigeria Government has been killing them
without remorse and there is no indication that those behind the killings would
be brought to book or the killings will stop.
On February 9th,
2016. Nine of IPOB members were killed for just gathering to pray for their
leader Nnamdi Kanu. If the killing
continues, they may be exterminated in their own land. United Nation (UN) has
not protested these people in the manner in which they use to protest others
from Europe. These Biafrans are just demanding for Independence since the amalgamation
of Nigeria has expired. Moreover, United Nation convention of 2007 also
empowered them to agitate for their freedom. The question is, is IPOB agitation
for self-determination out of the law? Not at all, what they are doing is an acceptable
norm in the quest for self-determination. But why is Nigeria government killing
them and the world kept quiet? Does it mean that independence cannot be
achieved without war in Africa?
However, IPOB is very resolute and fearless and will continue
the agitation for self-determination in a different dimension because they have
been in slavery for over 55years now and want to be free and also want to live
a free life where everyone will look at each other as a first class citizen. Where
everyone will have the right to live a normal life. IPOB will not fold their
hand while being killed. They have to do something, and that is exactly what we
are saying – self-defense the only option available for now. Therefore, I want
use this medium to let the whole world know that IPOB is neither terrorist nor
militant but will defend themselves from
now on and will never succumb to President Buhari’s use of force. Bokoharm is
in the North East Killing people in thousands which in my own wisdom required maximum
force. Besides, President Buhari promised to defeat Bokoharam in two weeks as
soon as he Buhari assumes office in
29th of May 2015. But this is his Nine months in the office as the
president of Nigeria and he is yet to defeat Bokoharam. He has killed IPOB
members more than he had killed Bokoharam his terrorist brothers. The records
are there for anyone see. IPOB will never again fold their hands while being
killed. This is a notice to the Whole
World! Please like and share!
