Today is the D-day that Biafrans have
waited, fasted and prayed for. It is Friday, September 23, 2016. Biafrans are
stepping out in a worldwide protests and campaigns. The world must be told in
clear terms what it is all about – a demand for freedom.
There should not be any ambiguity about
it. Biafrans are demanding the unconditional release of their leader, Nnamdi
Kanu from Nigerian jail. Apart from being their leader, the Indigenous People
of Biafra (IPOB) also have Kanu as Director of their radio, Radio Biafra, and their
television, Biafra Television (BTV).
He was abducted by Nigeria Directorate of
State Security (DSS) on October 14, last year, did not break any law – whether local
(Nigerian) or international law. His only offence (which is not an offence) was
that he used the Radio Biafra to campaign for the restoration of the free and independent
state of Biafra. He also used it for the sensitization, organisation and
education of his people on how best to go about the agitation. More than
thrice, the courts have ordered his release, but Muhammadu Buhari, Nigerian
President has refused to obey the courts.

After months of holding him under
trumped-up charges, Biafrans have risen to say “enough is enough” and demanding
his unconditional release. So today Biafrans will be shouting: “Free Nnamdi
Kanu!”
Biafrans are also demanding that hundreds
of Biafrans being held in jails across Nigeria for asking for Biafra be
released.
Biafrans are also telling the world that
they (Biafrans) are serious, dead serious about their quest for Biafra. They
are saying that the world should no longer keep quiet as if Biafran people were
slaves of Fulani people, who the British chose to act as their house slaves in
West Africa. Biafrans are saying that their demand for Biafra is a legitimate
aspiration, and that the world must no longer ignore it.
Biafrans want the world to understand that
Nigeria has expired as a country, having lived out the 100 years allocated to
it by its creator, Fredrick Lugard of Britain. Independent peoples, who have
lived separate existence before the coming of the colonialists, were forced
(together with their lands) into Nigeria in 1914, a fraud that they called
abomination. That means the country expired in 2014, two years ago.
Biafrans are saying that the time has come
when the world must stop Muhammadu Buhari from murdering innocent Biafrans,
humiliating and clamping them into jail for demanding their rights. Biafrans
are marching through the streets in foreign countries, but are observing
stay-at-home protests in Biafraland.
Free Nnamdi Kanu, free Biafra, is what we
seek, and by the grace of Chukwu Okike Abiama, it will happen sooner than
later.
