Here are words of wisdom that seems to tell the story of the quest for freedom.
The people of Syria had to face their armed forces alone without any assistance during the war like that given to the people of Libya by the NATO.
The current quest for freedom is similar to our own quest for supremacy as well as the fight against American neighbours. United States engaged in a bitter Civil War that tore the country apart for years.
And we all know about the conflicts in Europe during WWI and WWII as well as the war in the Pacific with the Japanese. Korean War was yet another conflict in the 1950s and we still see occasional conflicts between North Korea and South Korea. Vietnam followed in the mid 1960s.
The cost of freedom is always high, but Biafrans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender or submission. If Nigeria does not want to dialogue through peaceful referendum that means they want war and we promise that Somalia will look like paradise compared to Nigeria.
Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by individuals who can labour in freedom, Sir. Odumegwu Ojukwu Bunker was built within the space of ninety days(90) because the zeal and the strength was there. I and likewise others, believe in Biafra because we have great dreams, and because we have the opportunity to make those dreams come true.
Take a look at Nigeria's 2017 budget. What do you think of the future of this our struggle and we can only judge the future from what we suffered in the past, let's steady our heart and look deep into our soul let's know that the decision of our children and generation to eat or to starve in years to come is in our hands.
Our goal is not the victory of might, but the vindication of right; not placed at the expense of freedom, but both place and freedom, here in this hemisphere, and, our hope around the world. God willing, that goal must be achieved."
