BIAFRA WILL PROSPER

New York[RR]Biafra-Nation–Does anyone know this naïve, un-informed woman, ranting in the attached video? This is the second time she has made a video mocking Biafra –as if she is paid to do so.

She generalizes that Nd’Igbo don’t help people, but the fact is that a lot of the money contributed in Nigeria –some of that used to help less fortunate individuals, regardless of ethnicity– are contributed by the same Igbos she criticizes, as the Almighty God demands Igbos to do. Does she also know that Igbos usually teach how to fish, by bringing understudies, teaching them how to trade, and later giving them money to start their own business.

Igbos simply empower people, and don’t encourage laziness.

Why doesn’t she make a video, presuring Mister Buhari to implement the provisions of the summer 2014 National Confab –which is the closest attempt to restructure Nigeria, if Buhari is serious about a united Nigeria, and not unilateral advantage for his beloved North?

Why doesn’t this naïve girl make a video, asking Mister Buhari why he has not bothered to rein in and prosecute Fulani so-called cattle rearers who pillage farms, rape women, and kill with AKZ-47 assault riffles?

Why doesn’t she ask Buhari, why any Southerner or Middle Belter carrying a gun is arrested and immediately prosecuted; while Hausa / Fulani/Kanuri people who publicly brandish guns are not even questioned, let alone arrested?

Why doesn’t she ask Mister Buhari why he is murdering innocent protesters everyday, for the simple reason that they are demanding a Referendum for Biafran Independence?

Why doesn’t this idiot ask Buhari why he is opposed to a Referendum, while the British, Nigeria’s colonial masters, peacefully allowed a similar Referendum for Scotland Independence from the UK?

If this woman thinks and believes that Igbos are not United enough to run a nation, can she explain why Igbos are united to the point of mounting internationally recognized and relentless protests for peaceful departure from Nigeria? Disunited people can hardly achieve that feat.

If this ranting, garrulous woman thinks Igbos are disunited, has she at all gone deep into Yorubas and discover to her consternation that Yorubas are far more fragmented, far more disunited than Nd’Igbo?

Has this idiot with ragedy hair not known that Northern Sunni Muslims and Northern Shiite Muslims hate each other deeply –their only uniting factor being their common hatred of Nd’Igbo and non-Muslims, as exemplified by their unending murder of particularly Nd’Igbo everywhere, since 1945; and their common devotion to exploitation of Eastern Nigerian mineral resources?

It is also in order for this woman to address this question: Is an Igbo person in deep North as safe as a Northerner is, anywhere in Eastern Nigeria?

Even if this woman is deaf, dumb and blind, is it still difficult for her to know that Biafrans are going about this sought exit from Nigeria in a civilized, nonviolent manner –and watched and supported by majority of Europe, and with more recognitions on the way?

If Nigeria splits today, the North will still be looking to sell its agricultural products to Biafra –not to Niger, Chad, Mali, etc– if it wants hard currency, unless the North is so perverse as to sit on its talked about agricultural products and suffer in the process. That is a fact, and it is also a fact that Zambia, etc are looking for new markets for their agricultural products –assuming Biafrans are allergic to agro business and occupation, and stay away from farms, fishing, and poultries as a result.

And where will the North get the fuel it needs to power everything from automobiles to its agricultural machines? It is from Biafra, of course, and the only difference is that they will pay for it this time. This ranting woman should know these facts.

But talking of hard currency, has this woman, who claims to be of Igbo parentage, not heard that in 2014 Diaspora Nigerians remitted 21 Billion US Dollars to Nigeria, and that Nd’Igbo in particular, Biafran or not, are more in number, hold more better paying jobs than others in the Diaspora and have more children in the same Diaspora –more than 95% of them with college education and gainfully employed; and that the destination of a commanding chunk of that record remittance ended up in the SouthEast, and that a huge chunk of the portion that ended up in Lagos and Abuja, also came from Igbo Diadporans?

Does this woman not know that this remittance is actually the money keeping Nigeria afloat, and not oil revenue largely stolen or wasted by high profile hair dressers?

Someone please tell this voluble woman that though agriculture deserves better treatment, and would definitely get it in Biafra, Biafra can mechanize its agriculture in as short as 2 years to achieve self sufficiency, while capable of footing the bill of grain importation before the end run of that 2 years short run threshold to meet its short term food requirements, since nutrient rich foods like citrus –for essential Vitamin C, etc are already grown in abundance inside Biafra. Potatoes to supply bakers and make Fufu, would not take more than 4 months to plant and harvest in abundance –even on self-subsistence farming basis.

I like Biafra’s chances, because of our intestinal fortitude to excel in anything we are committed to.

Agriculture failed in 1967-1970 Biafra, only because we were in a war in which virtually everyone fought against actualization of Biafra for several unrelated reasons. In that war, Nigeria constantly bombed our farms and hospitals; therefore, sustainable farming was a great challenge. Things have since changed and Nd’Igbo are well diversified across the planet, enough to finance a range of things –even if 20% of Diaspora Nd’Igbo contribute just $15 per person and quarterly. Do the math.

Ndewonu!
