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: Heaven and Earth shall pass away but the word of God remains forever!
Let us visit this week this terrible menace called the Nigeria SSS. There is little doubt why this murderous and secretive, inscrutable unit takes a name akin to the nasty NAZI SS of Hitler’s era. No organization or unit or department, least of all, an arm of the government, would set out to copy such a name (and one-up on it with an extra letter), unless it wants to do to its own people what the SS did in NAZI Germany: torture, terrorize and brutalize the population and do it with arrogance, with savor and and relish, and with great enjoyment.
Today, we are witnessing the evil SSS really getting out of hand and out of control. Their boss and leaders have become too arrogant, too cocky. The field agents have inherited the same infection from their higher-ups, acting as if they were God or in fact, as if God Himself reports to them. Of course, the only reason they can do this is because there is someone at the top giving them orders and pushing them and promising them protection and immunity. So, all that pretense that they are doing all this evil stuff out of patriotism or out of fanaticism for one-Nigeria is a cover. These guys are just doing the bidding of their master, General Obasanjo, which should not surprise anybody, because organizations like this are susceptible to manipulation, exploitation and usurpation by the power-structures and usually end up working for, and carrying out, the personal agenda of whoever is running the show.
The SSS are doing precisely what Obasanjo has ordered them to be doing to MASSOB and by extension, to Biafra. It is so silly to watch and read how the SSS leadership try to exonerate OPC and other violent autonomy / Nationalistic groups by rationalizing away and playing down the actions of these groups, then, only to turn around and selectively target MASSOB, a non-violent organization, for persecution and terrorization, charging MASSOB with Treason for the same agenda which the other groups have, except for the fact that MASSOB does not use violence as a means or method while the others do. Yes, it would be really silly and laughable, but for the fact that the SSS are killing and maiming our people in this rampage and destroying their property, for no justifiable reason at all, save that it is their way to deal with Igbo / Biafrans, on Obasanjo‘s orders.
And to hear SSS and some other unscrupulous liars use the excuse that "nobody is above the law" to attempt to justify this targeted and unnecessary harassment and murder of our people is so infuriating. Who but SSS acts like it is above the law? Or, who does not know that the worst offender when it comes to acting "above the law" is Obasanjo himself who was almost impeached last year for anti-constitutional acts, if the Yoruba, personified by the same OPC, had not threatened the National Assembly to desist from doing its job of bringing Obasanjo to book. It is the same people who are today talking about "…nobody is above the law…" And, who here would fail to recall that it was Obasanjo as the leader of PDP who usurped the judiciary’s function by insisting that criminal and other unconstitutional acts committed against the people by highly placed PDP officials were a "PDP family affair," and as such, the courts had no jurisdiction, and PDP would handle the matter internally? And, didn’t he and PDP and the criminals get away with it? Did anyone challenge them and say, "…wait a minute…No one is above the law; we cannot allow an unlawful act, even if it is coming from Obasanjo himself or the almighty PDP"? When is double standard double standard?
But we also have to ask: where are Ndigbo / Biafrans when this type of thing is happening to our people? Should not Ohaneze have spoken up and challenged SSS actions and charges against MASSOB / Biafrans, and we mean, really spoken up, standing its ground? Can anybody find a higher moral ground than the stand when fighting against double standard and deliberate malicious targeting of an ethnic group or nation? Naturally, Ohaneze should have challenged SSS action and defended MASSOB rights, but didn’t. Why? It is because of the fact that Ohaneze is being controlled by the likes of Joe Irukwu and Iwuanyanwu who in turn are controlled by Obasanjo and anyone else who is a high bidder. Else, members of Ohaneze are too timid and too petrified becoming too paralyzed to say anything, choosing to do nothing instead.
And what about the governors, the state assemblies, the senators, the house representatives, and LGAs? Why do they not utter a world of protest or challenge? Rather, you hear them talking about inconsequential matters that have no bearing on reality, matters which are chosen carefully so as not to offend Obasanjo’s personal sensitivities or the sensitivities of other Igbo / Biafran tormentors. Isn’t it a shame that while some persons from Western Nigeria and even a couple from Northern Nigeria have spoken up in defense of Ndigbo / Biafrans / MASSOB in these matters, these Igbo/ Biafran functionaries whose primary duty is to defend the rights and the welfare of the people, sit idle, doing nothing, or instead, do the stupid thing of either falsely praising Obasanjo, the perpetrator (like with Nnamani’s recent foolish action); or blame the victim, MASSOB / Biafrans?
We use this opportunity to tell the SSS that today, we have their names and their faces, and we vow to bring them to justice at the appropriate time because nothing, nobody, is going to protect them and their assets and dependants forever from the judgment of a properly constituted court of law. The same goes for Nigeria police and their leaders; the same goes for all tormentors and persecutors of MASSOB / Ndigbo / Biafrans, Obasanjo himself included.
To the Igbo / Biafran-collaborators of Obasanjo and one-Nigeria tormentors of Igbo / Biafrans / MASSOB, there are no words to describe your chosen actions, and we cannot even imagine what the appropriate consequence is for such deliberately harmful misdeeds. One thing, though: our Chi is watching; Oha is watching and there is no way you are going to get away scot-free with your behavior, whether it is an act, deed, action, or even silence and acquiescence. Judgment day awaits you!
And, to our people—the people of the nation of Biafra / MASSOB—all of you: we ask you to bear and endure, for it will not be too much longer. No one can tell you the exact time, but bear in mind that there is a price to pay for freedom and liberty, whether in defending it or in reclaiming it (morel). As high as the price of freedom and liberty may be, the price you pay for slavery is so dear that life is no longer worth living––you all know that by now. We have witnessed this pattern of increased persecution in the affairs of those just about to get their independence and freedom. We saw it in Mandela’s South Africa; in East Timor; in Yugoslavia, in East Germany. Just as Pharaoh’s heart was hardened just prior to the victory of the Israelites in Egypt thousands of years ago, so we expect Obasanjo and his agents of oppression to intensify their efforts and act like mad dogs and wild animals, in the vain effort to intimidate or stop Biafrans, as if anything can stop what God Himself is doing. Rest assured that we feel your pain and angst, but do not forget: so does God Who abides with you night and day and does not forsake you. It is squarely in His hands that we leave you, while we do those things which we can do as human––and, believe us, we are in fact busy doing exactly just that––at the same time, leaving the rest up to Him.
The only way out and forward for Biafrans is the sovereignty of Biafra: both God and Man know it; even our tormentors and detractors know it, too, and can feel it coming, unstoppable.
Biafra alive! Even as God has ordained it!
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.
