Obasanjo in Brussels |

For Biafra Choice Writers
Uche Mefor, Deputy leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) was proved right once again last Monday, October 9, when Olusegun Obasanjo, former Nigerian ruler appeared in Brussels, the European Union (EU) headquarters. The visit was a day before the IPOB planned visit and protest to the EU headquarters. Obasanjo thought he was making a surprise move.
Mefor is always known to have declared that IPOB was
the ones setting agenda for those, like Obasanjo, who were running the Nigerian
government. Many have often waved his words away considering it to be empty
words. But Obasanjo proved him right once again.
Mefor had always said they (IPOB) were never moved
by whatever the Nigerian rogue-rulers do or say; but rather that they (the
Nigerian ruler) were the one reacting to every move IPOB make, and every word
they speak. “Nobody sets agenda for us; we sent the agenda and they (the
Nigerian rulers) follow” Mefor has often said.
He was proved right once again last Monday as
Obasanjo ran to EU headquarters to try and see if he could circumvent the
Tsunami IPOB was bringing against Nigeria at Brussels, or at least douse the
effect to an extent.
He did not succeed.
Instead, IPOB demystified him. It now proven that
throughout Obasanjo’s military years, he had learnt nothing new apart from the
use of “element of surprise” – the only element of war he always uses. Obasanjo’s
archaic mind did not tell him that the element of surprise works only with
those who wait for your moves, and not those who have planned their strategies
and are busy executing them with clockwork accuracy.
So he went to Brussels, Belgium and failed, showing
the empty shell he is. The man has always deluded himself that he is a
statesman, not only for Nigeria, but also for Africa. That is why he keeps
putting his snouts in everything, even when out of government.
But who is to blame? Many Nigerians have proven
themselves to be gullible, accepting prescription from the school dropout, who
turned soldier. Just imagine that immediately after handing over power to
civilians in 1979, he deceived the world that he was something special in
Africa, and many people saw him as such.
A up a hopeless talk-shop at his Ota farm in
Abeokuta, Ogun State, and many gullible fellows went there to listen to him and
his likes. They went to hear the garbage he was dishing out as solutions to the
problems of Africa. Just imagine that one of of such solutions was his
prescription that apartheid should be fought with witchcraft. This was at a
time when University of Nigeria Nsukka was already offering practical solutions
by organizing fund raisings for the apartheid struggle.
Interestingly, this is the same man who is running
around together pretending to work for the good of Nigerians, and even Africans.
Meanwhile, all he is doing is to protect his ill-gotten wealth through
exploiting the people. This man refuses to retire, in spite of the fact that he
knew nothing.
Well, Nigerian rulers will continue to run
helter-skelter while IPOB continues to make gains for Biafra restoration.
All hail Biafra!!
