BEWARE, THE IFEAJUNAS IN OUR MIDST

BY NNAMDI OBODOECHI-BIAFRAN WRITER

To start with, every Igbo person and the entire Biafra should bear in mind or commit to memory all the good works for the agitation of the dream Republic of Biafra which Dim ChukwuEmeka Odumegwu Ojukwu-the Eze Igbo Gburu-Gburu-started and stoutly defended with his compatriots in 1967 to 70, but all his efforts were to no avail because of the secret activities of the Biafrans saboteurs. Though Ojukwu remains very much committed to securing the rights and freedom of his people in Nigeria, yet some people do not care or consider his cry / struggle for freedom because they lack the sense / knowledge of God.

I wish to advise these Biafran saboteurs to check out and consider themselves as IFEAJUNA and his bad gangs /boys who sabotaged Biafra during the war. I wish to ask these saboteurs: “Where are IFEAJUNA and his families / boys today in Biafra land?” I will like to advise them to change for the good now, if not, what happened to IFEAJUAN and his bad companies will surely come to these modern saboteurs of Biafra. Let us remember the gravity of this type of injustice of betraying our people, and let us remember that God hates any acts of rebellion by his children.

I have gone round the East to see if there is anyone who named his son IFEAJUNA, but I could not see even a single one. Why? Because we know what is good and evil within ourselves. In the olden days and this present age, our parents told us the history of EMMANUEL IFEAJUNA and his bad groups, how they sold Biafra to Nigeria during the war of genocide, thus causing our defeat during the civil war.

Most of us do not heed the instructions of the elders like Ojukwu and Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, calling them all sorts of insulting names. Are they calling them stupid people because Chief Ralph abandoned his legal profession and sacrificed his life for the struggle and Ojukwu used his father’s money to fight for our freedom? Oh! It’s only Ikemba and very few people in Biafra land who have vowed to die for the cause of emancipation of Biafra while other unscrupulous citizens, on the other hand, have vowed to die in sabotaging their efforts, kicking against the move for freedom, claiming to be our elders, but they are wolves in the midst of sheep.

Let us stop suppressing the good works of Ojukwu, Uwazuruike and MASSOB, but let us support what is good and be our brother’s keeper. May we all support Biafra struggle and imbibe the following qualities, which I consider necessary for the success of the struggle:-

a)    Get connected

b)   Commitments and method

c)    Having the Spirit of sympathy

d)   Sacrifice yourself and time as a sacrificial lamb.

e)   Having good ambition.

f)    Having faith and good works including endurance with the fear of God towards the struggle.

g)   Knowing and understanding the true value of what you are fighting for.

h)   Hating the unscrupulous people and citizens who turn their blind eyes to the needs of our people instead of assisting the struggle.

i)     Exemplary lives are needed as a skillful builder.

j)    The issue of majority and minority should be abolished, nullified or cancelled in the Biafra states because it is the cause of Nigeria’s problem today. We are one and there should be no intimidation, oppression, servitude and backbiting in the entire states of Biafra. We must give the cap to whom the cap fits and faithfully follow the true leadership.

Finally, we have to wipe away the corruption which we attracted from Nigeria before entering the promised land of Biafra, so that we will reap from our labours with the shout of joy because we sow in tears in Nigeria. Let us provide hope through support and nurture and pray always for the betterment of Biafra. Biafra is our target in the land of the living; nothing should be allowed to stop it.
