I have been waiting patiently just to allow Biafrans in Politics to reconnect to their chord of memories to enable them to look into the security meeting to hold in Enugu, Biafra land if it is actually worth it. Thanks to God, Senators from Biafra Land is ready to Boycott the so-called security meeting on the ground that they were not properly consulted meanwhile Biafrans has done nothing to deserve safety meeting than development meeting.

Over several atrocities committed by different insurgents in the Northern part of Nigeria, Mohammed Buhari was daft to call for the safety submit. It baffled me when I heard that security summit is organised to hold on 22nd of December 2016 in Enugu which is to be chaired by Mohammed Buhari and other statesmen. To worsen it, the main organisers are governors from Biafra land. This is actually terrible. Despite Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) principle Officers declaring "no security meeting in Biafra Land" and Senators boycotting the occasion, does that mean the governors do not represent the interest of their people by knowing what is right?

It pains me whenever I try to trace my root of existence and where I actually hail from, it appears to be a place where political representatives are sick about their pocket than the well-being of their people who they claim to represent. I ask, between Biafra land and Arewa (Northern) land which one is more appropriate to host security meeting for considering the recent situations of Boko Haram, Herdsmen, religious clash, ethnic dispute and others? I think Buhari and Biafra governors should be addressed properly than being redressed and embarrassed by the led.

Considering several operation programs declared by Nigeria Soldiers, can anyone give any cogent reason(s) why we (Biafrans) deserve security than development meeting? If Buhari wants to justify reasons why peaceful protesters were killed on several occasions in Biafra land, we will not give him that opportunity. Biafrans are not at war!

Considering what is going on in Northern Nigeria, I think Arewas are at war. They should consider security meeting to control many rape and molestation of young Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) by Nigeria Police and soldiers. Numerous herdsmen mayhem, Bokoharam-Buhari killings, and others should be given more attention than Biafrans. What we need is Biafra country to develop our land, not security meeting. Biafrans do not budget guns, bullets and prisons.
