THE RUINS OF NIGERIA AND THE RISE OF BIAFRA

Seeing the end in retrospect, I can attest that we all saw the contraption called Nigeria zealously raging to her grave.

We warned against it.  Our cries fell on deaf ears and our voices sank into the ocean of self-deceit, embellished with empty noise and foolhardiness. And today we all bear witness to her interment.

When we called for referendum, they accused us of being warmongers, though we had killed no one.

When we asked for justice, they accused us of treasonable felony, though we never attempted to topple any government.

When we asked for the discarding of the fraudulent 1999 Constitution imposed on us, they called us unlearned men, thought we can read through their deceit.

When we protested, they tagged us miscreants, though we're responsible citizens and civilized men and women.

When we asked for freedom and sang for self-determination unarmed, they labelled us 'TERRORISTS', though we bear no arms

Unjust jail, cruel tortures, forced disappearances, extrajudicial killings were our daily meals and menu for ever speaking up against the dooms day.

No need to cry when the head is already detached from the neck. Just a matter of time before silence envelopes the island of fools while we tell the story: once upon a time, there was a country called Nigeria!

I see Biafra, the Land of the Rising Sun take her rightful place amongst the comity of nations and I see the potentials of Africa finally unleashed and her population unshackled.
