The call for civil disobedience is inevitable. As long
as the federal government of Nigeria fails to do what is prerequisite of them.
The challenges they are ephemeral through today will continue to punch them on
their faces. Is better they allow the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) to
conduct their referendum peacefully to determine their fate, whether they
wished to be on their own as a nation or to remain in the Lugardian creation
called Nigeria. Since the FG of Nigeria removed history from the school
curriculum in the bid to hide the crimes they committed between 1967-1970
bitter civil. Many of the citizens knew nothing about the Nigeria/Biafra; which
took about 6.1 million precious lives because there was no history to narrate
such genocide extermination against the Biafran populace.
Do you know that many citizens in Nigeria never knew
Adamawa State was once part of the northern Cameroon not after 1961? The
British government allowed a referendum to be conducted in Adamawa to know
their fate. But the same British government refused to let the people of Biafra
to do likewise. I believe this is because we have remained peaceful in our
pursuit for freedom. Below is the brief history of Adamawa state which the
current presidential aspirate Atiku Abubakar is from.
Traditional emirate centred in what is now Adamawa
state, eastern Nigeria. The emirate was founded by Modibbo Adama, who was one
of Sheikh Usman dan Fodio's commanders and who began a Fulani jihad (holy war)
in 1809 against the non-Muslim peoples of the region. Adama moved the capital
of his kingdom, which was then known as Fumbina, several times before settling
it finally in 1841 in Yola, which has since remained the seat of the emirate.
At his death, in 1848, Fumbina extended over parts of present-day eastern Nigeria
and most of northern Cameroon; even as the easternmost emirate of the Fulani
empire, however, it was required to pay annual tribute (mostly in slaves) to
the sultans at Sokoto, the Fulani capital, 555 miles (890 km) west-northwest.
Adama was succeeded by four of his sons. Lamido (Lord)
Hamman (usually known as Lawal [Lauwal, or Lowal]) consolidated Fulani control
during his reign (1848–72). During the weak rule of Sanda (Saanda; 1872–90),
the Royal Niger Company established trading posts along the Benue River in
Adamawa; when Emir Zubeiru (1890–1901) tried to force the British to leave Yola
in 1901; British troops captured the town and compelled him to flee. After
Adamawa was partitioned in 1901 between British Northern Nigeria and German
Kamerun (Cameroon), Bobbo Ahmadu (Bobo Amadu; 1901–09), Adama's fourth son,
became emir of Yola in the British section of the state. After World War I,
part of the Cameroon portion of the emirate came under French administration
and part remained under British rule. The emirate's territories eventually came
to form almost all of northern Cameroon and part of eastern Nigeria.
The above analysis tells you all you need to know. In
the real sense, the republic of Nigeria was not a nation nor a country but a
company. A British asset and everyone in the contraption is a British slave.
The Indigenous people of Biafra has revolted and made their stand to leave the
unholy marriage. We are not interested on who becomes the Nigerian president
because Nigeria itself was a British concoction. We will continue to clamour
that Royal Niger Company (Nigeria) must be dissolved peacefully or in pieces.
Enough is enough for the elites which knew nothing about history. Come 16th
February 2019; IPOB will boycott the fraudulent election. Until they understand
that Self-determination is enshrined under UN Charter. The indigenous people
have the fundamental right to agitate for her sovereignty.
And before I end this piece, I wished to ask again.
Does terrorist vote? Am still searching on the internet where I could lay my
hands on a piece on where in the world a government would proscribe a peaceful
activist without arms a terrorist organization but only in Nigeria. Shamefully
the same government that proscribed these peaceful agitators without arms
terrorist are now telling the same terrorist to vote. The enormous question is.
Does terrorist vote? Your answer is as good as mine.
In summary, am urging our people to remain resolute in
the pursuit for freedom. Sit-At-Home comes 16th February 2019. If you truly
love your life and wished to live to see the republic of Biafra as a nation.
Sit-At-Home and enjoy your “Ofe Ukazi”, nobody will come and drag you out from
your residence to vote in any murderer. There is saying ‘A word is enough for
the wish’. All hail Biafra the children of light.
