The British government through Frederick Lurgard in 1914 created a monster latter called Nigeria by amalgamating the northern and southern protectorates. They created Nigeria for their selfish interests but didn't teach them civility.

In the Nigerian constitution, it is enshrined that a president or any public servant incapacitated after 90 days, ceases to occupy such office. President Muhammadu Buhari left Nigeria for London for the second time this year on the 7th of May 2017 and 93days after, has not returned to office or disclosed the nature of his ailment to his subjects.

People staged a protest at Abuja, demanding the whereabouts of their president. Charlie boy an Ace musician and entertainer staged a "Buhari must return or resign" protest at Abuja but was dispatched by the Nigerian police. Recounting his Ordeal and displeasure Charlie boy said, "Our country is finished. We were only 10 people attacked by over 200 policemen. They were tear gassing us. Today was actually meant to be a sit-out, we planned to gather in one place to discuss the problems we have and about the way forward but all of a sudden, policemen attacked us.

They came with tear gas and water cannon. Even the journalist from Silverbird that was brutalized is still in the hospital, they damaged his camera, all in an attempt to dispatch us. Everything got ugly when they started to throw tear gas, after that we dispatched. We did get a clearance and we told them it was going to last for one week. I just wonder what happened today. I used to feel very comfortable with the Nigerian police until today even if other people feel otherwise.

We have a right to protest as long as it is peaceful. If you are writing to the police, it is just to inform them and not to get their permission, you write so they can give you cover, it is our right to gather, it is also our right to ask questions. We were only 10 people yesterday we were like 200, yet they did not attack us, so I am wondering what actually went wrong today. When we confronted them, the only thing they told us was that the protest was being viewed from all over the world, but the world knows that Nigeria has a problem".

The problem of Nigeria is Britain. They created Nigeria, by amalgamating the northern and southern protectorates, which is more like oil and water, which is not mixable. They introduced corruption and watch it grow in Nigeria, just to steal our resources and develop the United Kingdom with it.
In London, a man staged a protest against Buhari too, but was not confronted by anybody, talk more of being tear-gassed by policemen, despite the call by Buhari's aides to arrest the man, but he wasn't arrested because he was in a civilized society where he can fully exercise his fundamental human Rights.
Charlie boy who studied in the UK knows what civility is, but didn't say anything when IPOB members were shot and killed by the Hausa/Fulani Bokoharam trigger happy soldiers during almost all the peaceful protest they embarked on. It is said in Igbo " Eburu ozu onye ozo ya adi ka o bu ukwu nku". He has seen the strength of IPOB and how spoilt Nigeria, her God (Britain) and her systems are.

But before Charlie boy embarked on that protest, he should have asked himself these questions; Where is Nnamdi Azikiwe after all he did to keep Nigeria going? Where is Oby Ezekwesili after being used by Hausa/Fulani to remove Jonathan from power? They are nowhere today, even in the political sphere. As properly stated by Nnamdi Kanu "any Biafran who goes to serve Nigeria will come back in shame ".

It is high time these Biafrans hiding under their wives' wrappers, come out and identify with IPOB because the restoration of Biafra is the beginning of wisdom and dignity in Africa. And the fall of Nigeria is inevitable.
