The problem with Nigerian military cannot be simply
reduced to a sentence. In other words, I'm saying that the problem is enormous,
they are very vast, and the problems fall on two levels First level is the effects,
the other is the more fundamental and remote causes of the problems; effects,
election rigging, killings and kidnapping of innocent members of the indigenous
people of Biafra (IPOB).
At the level of effects, people have talked over issues
like mono-cultural duty of the army, which is to guide against any foreign
aggression and protection of the territorial borders of the country. Lots have
been said about corruption, while the Nigerian military is at the level of
fundamental causes of the corruption and rigging of elections. Biafrans are
convinced that elections in Nigeria would not be stripped off the usual violence,
Nigeria politicians must play their dirty games. Let us take Igweocha (Port Harcourt) for instance,
reports from the NTA (Nigerian Televisions Authority) the Nigeria military
according to their press conference, more than 25 Biafran youths were shot,
scores injured including a youth corps member. Many fictitious results were
announced in favour of the ruling party. Furthermore, the Independent National
Electoral commissioner in Imo state said that he announced the false result
under duress.
Reports reaching this desk of Abia Writers has it that
the military colluded with party agents and chieftains to manipulate the
exercise and results in many areas and INEC officials were not left out. Apart
from number of reported cases of violent conducts in Lagos state, and other
parts of Nigeria that were marred by violence.
Corrupt
politicians would naturally use their power, be it of incumbency or not to
handpick their successors to succeed them in order to cover-up their crimes.
This is another form of strong election crime "rigging" in
Nigeria." Which is business as usual. In fact, many foresaw and rightly
too, that the main political problem, is the succession, that is, why the APC
led government used the military to rig the election by carrying ballot boxes
at gun point. Unstable political environment in Nigeria is a problem but there
is no solution proffered to it by the Nigerian government
The call of Biafrans for the restoration of Biafra nation
is not for nothing. The international observers bore witness to all these
electoral crimes against the people. Future generations of Biafrans will not
forgive those who has led us into this mess or those who are in a position to
do something but decide to do nothing.
Biafra restoration
is our last hope.
