Kanu: the undisputed Biafra leader |
Tim Tochukwu
From a friends Facebook post
A Yoruba friend asked me: Under what conditions
would you support "One Nigeria" and let go of the Biafra agitation
and let it die down and finally laid to rest for good?
Here was my response:
1. Close down Lagos ports and Open up PH, Calabar,
Onitsha and Warri ports.
2. Cancel all direct and major connecting flights to
Lagos and Abuja airports. Only local connecting flights will be allowed. While
this is being done, open up Enugu, Owerri, Asaba, Uyo and PH to international
flights direct and major connecting flights.
3. Ask all international and diplomatic missions to
move their embassies and consulates from Lagos, Kano and Abuja to Enugu, PH and
Calabar.
4. All federal governments’ agencies in Lagos and
Abuja should be relocated to Enugu, PH and Calabar. CBN, NNPC, e.t.c should and
must relocate to PH, Calabar and Enugu.
5. All multinational companies in Lagos and Abuja,
shall and must relocate their offices to PH, Calabar and Enugu.
6. All oil companies must relocate their head
offices to PH, as the oil capital of Nigeria.
7. Let the northern children gain admission into
federal schools with 300 score points while the South Eastern Children should
gain admission with only 20 score points.
8. Let all federal road projects in the North/SW be
handled by one local company and the one in the SE/SS should be handled by
Julius Berger and foreign construction companies.
If these conditions can be fulfilled and implemented
for 50years , we can try one Nigeria and let's see if you the North and SW will
like it for a month...
Meaning, Yorubas and Hausas needing to get
international visas shall travel to PH, Calabar or Enugu to do that – same with
flying or connecting flights; same with shipping and importing their goods,
etc., etc.
The Yoruba friend replied: You can’t be serious,
this is wickedness and I said...Really? Don’t you think South Eastern part of
Nigeria have been suffering and enduring this very same wickedness for over 50
yrs?
He was quiet for a few seconds and said: Wow, you
are right but it never occurred to me. I said, that’s the problem with One
Nigeria, those who are benefiting from it, love it and would love to maintain
the status quo.
Let each region develop at her own pace, with
Airport, Seaports, industries, major projects open to be developed in any part
of Nigeria without government interference or strangulation due to tribalism
and nepotism!
Let Nigeria be fair to ALL irrespective of tribe,
religion, and place of birth.
Let there be true federalism and resources control,
with the elimination of quota system and federalism character in Nigeria.
Let's have equal respect for one another
irrespective of where the person is coming from in Nigeria.
THIS IS WHAT BIAFRA AGITATION IS ALL ABOUT!
