Many has defined a Hero as who fought/survived the war
and lived to tell the story, and this buttress that common say "no guts no
glory". But from my own point of view, a true Hero is he who started the
struggle of restoration of the sovereign State of Biafra singlehandedly and now
has achieved tremendously since this agitation began, both physically, mentally
and spiritually. A leader is who that stands before the force of power in the
land of the Rising Sun and gave a command, and his people followed the
instructions both at home and diaspora. He ordered his people to protest at
Japan, and they did, he ordered his people to protest in Nuremberg Germany and
they did, he ordered his people to boycott election and they did, he also
ordered his men to shutdown east and they did. A leader is that man who has
been influenced in his thinking by both West and East, a leader is that
conqueror of death who knew that nothing could be more redemptive if physical
death could be the price he would pay to free his brothers and sisters from
permanent death of the spirit and mental slavery. Like some would call him a
Messiah, but an ordinary man who had become a leader because of extra-ordinary
circumstances, he became a leader because of the great trials, tribulation,
molestation and humiliation of his own brothers and sisters in the hands of
their slave masters (Nigeria).
This unassuming leader and a hero have fulfilled some of
the prophecies made years back in the history of the whole world, while some
are about to be fulfilled. Hence on my honour, I declare that apart from what I
read and the research been made in the historical books, this leader seems that
Angel I saw and felt. Asking questions on how this leader came to save and lead
his people to the promise land is deemed apt because to every answer you could
found a new question. There is nothing more fearable to him than waking up
without a program that will help him bring a little happiness to those who are
poor, illiterate, ridden with terminal disease, those who have been mentally
enslaved by their slave master. He stood firm and unflinching, so as to rescue
his people from the hands of the jungle, hell and contraption called Nigeria
diplomatically, and tirelessly he has worked effectively and efficiently in
restoring back our precious values that all reality hinges on, with moral
foundation that all realities have spiritual control.
Like this leader would always say "the whole world
must hear us" and what have him. What manner of a leader is this? Indeed,
he is a visionary leader and an indefatigable servant of his people, he is a no
respecter of persons and he possesses the gift of the gab which made him a genuine
leader. As a genuine leader he is never a searcher of consensus but a molder of
consensus. Printed words won't be enough to enumerate his heroic deeds. These
few words speak volumes of this unassuming Hero, a moralist and a
disciplinarian of our time who has left indelible foot prints on impressionable
youth terrain (Biafra land), generations and beyond.
Only this heroic deed makes our hearts grow stronger
every waking day, because he believed in and has offered selfless service to
his people, and we cherish him. Because he has imbibed and consistently
exhibited the principal of "Do as I do" and not "Do as I
say", we adore him. His life has been consistent with Oliver Gold Smith's
epigram, "you can preach a better sermon with your life than your
lips". Since, he is preaching a better sermon with his life and
self-immolation than his lips, we hereby canonize him "Ohamadike 1 of
Biafra land." He is a man of clear vision and divine mission who has
achieved tremendously as a leader, we appreciate him as a role model, my hero
at the ebb and flow of every season we shall always place a premium on you
because you are a true hero/leader and a role model of our time. We must accept
finite hope, that's if we must move forward, go ahead Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, we are
courageous and strongly behind you.
All hail Biafra!
