It's been over three months since incarceration of the embattled radio biafra director, Nnamdi Kanu. One big story making news today is the statement alledgedly made by Nnamdi Kanu, that he rather die in prison than allow Ohanaeze Ndigbo claim victory for his release. What can be deduced from this statement, is it that the igbo nation is already divided between the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). What ever this may imply, I can't say, but all I see is an impending catastrophe, except of course we trace our steps and do what is right, and in time, as goes the saying" a stitch in time saves nine.
Sincerely, am shocked to the bone seeing how the Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB issue is being handled by the federal Government, from the massacre of the peaceful protesters at Aba and Onitsha, to the delay of justice and denial of bail for the embattled radio Biafra director. During 2009,the now allied-Isis group "Boko Haram" didn't employ militancy in their quest, no! They were just peaceful idealist with a personal ideology, but as a result of the failed judicial system and the extra-judicial killing of their leader, they disappeared, regrouped and came back as the dreaded sect. I can see another sect springing up soon, we already hear of vessels being hijacked by some militants, but this is just a tip of the iceberg.
The federal Government of Nigeria has in no small way interfered in the ruling of the ace Radio Biafra director. Keeping him in detention wont stop him or make the igbos refrain from actualizing their quest. Justice is served better when hot, the federal Government must remember that if any harm comes to Nnamdi Kanu, then there will be wanton destruction of lives and property across the country, and this may even be hijacked by some blood thirsty individuals to destabilize the country..
One fact I love about my country is that we do the right thing at the wrong time. If the founder of boko haram, was called for a dialogue with the Government, I doubt if the group would go into militancy, but instead, he was killed in cold blood, he was denied justice, his right to fair hearing was abused. And now, I laugh every day when I hear the president say "we will negotiate with credible leaders of the sect if we find any". Well its too late to negotiate now, is we refused to nip it in its bud. Do you not think that same thing will happen should any harm come to the IPOB director? I will suggest the Government come to terms and issue a referendum so the people will decide their faith, you will be shocked, majority of the Ibo may stick to one Nigeria. Instead of the wanton killings, incarceration of IPOB members, i believe dialogue should be put forward, after all they always tell us every night during the NTA network news that nothing grows with turmoil in place. So let the aggrieved parties come together, and settle their differences.
At the time of writing this report, I still stick to one Nigeria, because I can't imagine applying for visa before I can buy Mama Nkechi Fufu, buying Suya from mallan Musa.
