This is the News Analysis segment of the Voice of Biafra International broadcasts

 

For October 9th, 2004

 

You have heard the news; now, the analysis…

 

“My peoples and my nations shall not be sacrificed for the sake of preserving a worthless idea called Nigeria.” So speaketh the Lord. And so it is.

 

“The peoples and their nations must live and thrive, though the name and concept of Nigeria die. The peoples and their nations must not, and will not, be allowed to perish just to save a dying Nigeria.” So says the Lord.

 

Fellow Biafrans: Never mistake the Word of God for hollow.

 

We see how Nigeria continues to unravel in its final death throes. we also see the continuing singling out and mistreatment of MASSOB / Igbo / Biafrans by Nigeria. That is the reason why we will not just sit down any more and let any Igbo tell us one more time that we must stay in Nigeria—not after everything that has happened even in the last 2 months. It is because of this that we have to ask you all to not just ignore Joe Irukwu, but to begin to challenge him anywhere he makes any statement committing Ndigbo-Biafrans to one-Nigeria. And to the extent that said Joe Irukwu speaks for Ohaneze, or claims to speak for Ohaneze, you must all also bring Ohaneze to accountability.

 

We want to repeat this once again to make things quite clear: the Igbo want Biafra, and Biafra only. Every ethnic nation currently living and suffering in one-Nigeria wants autonomy and self-governance. Now, each of those nations has been emboldened to declare such openly, or to act as such. The only nations who have not said anything in the open are those who are living like parasites in Nigeria, those who bring nothing to the table, but yet want to take it all—or at least, want to take the lion’s share of resources from those nations contributing the resources; the same parasitic nations who already operate independent of Nigeria’s laws. MASSOB has already declared for Biafra openly, and is openly working towards that, with divine guidance and a divine agenda. And, all our people have said, Yes! to Biafra, Yes! to MASSOB, and Yes! to God. So, anyone who is talking about one-Nigeria in Igboland—Biafraland—today, does not speak for us, and has made himself or herself an obstacle in our path. We use this opportunity to tell any Igbo-centric organizations that if they do not have a Biafra actualization agenda, they should cease to exist. We warn any Igbo-centric organizations pulling for one-Nigeria to stop deceiving and hurting our people. Our people will no longer sit idle and watch those who have been paid by Obasanjo and Nigeria to enslave our people while other nations work out their own sovereignties unmolested and undaunted. The people of Biafra will rise up and challenge such persons and such organizations and sideline them. Joe Irukwu has identified himself as deserving of this treatment. Ohaneze, WIC, beware!

 

We recently heard one of the fraudulent PDP governors foisted over Igboland-Biafraland, while he was foaming at the mouth, say something about bad roads in Biafraland. We can only ask him: “where have you been for the past six years?” “Oh, you are just noticing? While the people complained about these hardships, you threw your weight behind Obasanjo and PDP and Nigeria, even as they cheated, humiliated and dehumanized your own people, for six years, continuing a pattern that started in the 1970’s. And even as we speak, you are still one of Obasanjo’s errand boys and sycophants. You are still rooting for one-Nigeria while Obasanjo is making sweet deals with other ethnic groups seeking autonomy, because their leaders are bold and brave and will not negotiate away their autonomy.. You, on the other hand, are busy betraying MASSOB members and handing them over to the murderous Nigerian Police.”

 

Which brings up the issue of Igbo Presidency for 2007. First, if we find Nigeria still intact enough (God forbid!) to conduct another round of fraudulent elections in 2007, then all the different nations suffering in Nigeria today will have failed—woefully—and will then only deserve the hardship consequently and subsequently visited upon them. Second, in the year 2004 and beyond that, the Igbo want Biafra and Biafra only: nothing more, nothing less. Only Biafra can serve in the best interest of the Igbo and the best interest of Biafrans. To speak of Igbo presidency for 2007 is to waste our time and to play Nigeria’s bloody game. In case you forgot, that game has one rule: cheat the Igbo; kill the Igbo; humiliate the Igbo; dehumanize the Igbo; mock the Igbo and loathe them; hate the Igbo—every opportunity and every moment. And, do you know what? Nigeria pays Igbo so-called leaders like Iwuanyanwu and Irukwu, and all those that will put themselves up as presidential candidates, handsomely to deliver Ndigbo to them for this game. Biafra is the only correct answer to Nigeria’s game, not Igbo presidency.

 

By the same token, we want to reiterate here, as the possibility increases for a Sovereign National Conference, that any conference whose goal or agenda is to keep Nigeria one, will never work, and we shall not be part of it. Let us state the reason as succinctly as possible: the trouble with Nigeria is one-Nigeria; any attempted solution to the problem of Nigeria—the problem that is Nigeria—whose aim is to keep Nigeria one is therefore no solution at all: it fails even before it has started because it is only reinforcing the problem, not proposing a real solution. It is the structure of one-Nigeria that constitutes the engine of civil and governance failures, corruption, arrogance, fraud, avarice, poverty, and wasted human potential in Nigeria today. It is the structure of one-Nigeria that has empowered the North to dominate the rest of Nigeria; to exploit the rest of Nigeria, grabbing resources from other places; to make Nigeria a member of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) without seeking the consent of non-Muslims, and in the meantime, develop and retain the Sharia alternative to Nigerian constitution, Nigerian law and Nigerian citizenship. Continue with one Nigeria, and this malignant aberration persists and gets worse. For Biafrans specifically, it is the structure of one–Nigeria that is the enabling force for the whole of Nigeria mistreating, killing, dispossessing, exploiting, humiliating and dehumanizing Igbo / Biafrans as a policy and routine, without challenge, without accountability. It is the same structure that provides so-called leadership for Igbo /  Biafrans—“leaders” who see nothing, hear nothing, say nothing and do nothing about these malicious and nefarious policies directed against their own people, and yet, see fit to persecute those, like MASSOB, working for change. This, then, is one-Nigeria for you: it is the cancer. To provide protection for the cancer ravaging one and then, turn around and believe the problem is gone, is great deception and psychological denial: this is the fate of any conference whose goal is keeping Nigeria one. The Sovereign National Conference ought to be about the recognition and ratification of the different national sovereignties presently suffering in Nigeria; at the conference, these sovereign nations will decide what inter-national agreements to go into. That, we can countenance; anything else is for the dogs, and we won’t bother with it. Biafra is our answer: nothing else will suffice.

 

Let us remember 53 Biafrans attending a soccer event in Lagos who were arrested by the Nigeria Police and charged with treason. Those who bring so much injustice to others, for any reason whatsoever, shall surely face karmic judgment and justice—Amen!

 

Really, only Biafra can prevent such in the future. And, it shall be, because that’s God’s intention—

 

Biafra alive!

 

That’s the news analysis for the week. Thank you.

 

 

God bless and keep Biafra, and you, until our next broadcast. Voice of Biafra International (VOBI) broadcast continues (http://www.biafraland.com/vobi.htm) with the summary of the News Analysis in Igbo language.
