the Biafrans in Nigeria).

Those of you who opposes the Biafran 

coming will experience ugly situation                  like king Nebuchadnezzar did for 7 years                          in the bush. It is no secret that the Nigerian security apparatus have been ordered by President Olusegun Obasanjo hound and arrested Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, the Massob boss, because of his efforts to actualize Biafra. The same persecution has been visited on other MASSOB members. For example, on 23rd May 2000-the second day after we hoisted the flag of the New Biafra, they killed two activists, Mr. Joseph Okereke and Mr. Moses Nwaogu, at Aba.

On another occasion, this time in Okigwe, Imo State, the State Security Services (SSS) killed three unnamed Biafran Policemen and wounded ten others. We would have retaliated if not that we have vowed to remain a non violent movement. I, however, find this hard line posture of the Nigerian government difficult to understand. Is it a crime for someone or a group of people to fight nonviolently for their rights? Although the Nigerian nation is a place where truth does not see the light of the day, while falsehood resigns, I make bold to say that I fully support MASSOB’s agenda to actualise the Biafran Republic through nonviolent means.

President Obasanjo and other enemies of the Igbos should understand that all the Igbos /Easterners are behind MASSOB-the Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra. In view of this, the Federal Government of Nigeria should also order for the arrest of all Igbos / Easterners in Nigeria so that the Commonwealth, UN, African Union and other international bodies will praise them and give them awards of oppression for their ill-treatment of an entire race.

In any case, Olusegun Obasanjo should have first and foremost arrested the American Government and dragged them to court for allowing such events like the opening of the Biafran Embassy on 29^th September 2001 and the voice of Biafra International Radio Station in America. Obasanjo, who in 2000 ordered the demolition of Odi Community in Bayelsa State, has been taking laws into his hands. The blood of Odi Community is now crying to Yahweh as did the innocent blood of Abel and Naboth. He shouldn’t rejoice yet because King Ahab and Cain did not escape punishment. Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe and his colleagues sincerely fought for Nigerian independent and no harm was done to them by the British colonialists.

Uwazuruike and MASSOB are agitating for the Biafran independence through non-violence, non-Exodus, still the Federal Government of Nigeria sees them and the entire Easterners as their greatest enemies, while Odua Peoples Congress (OPC) used to kill innocent people here and there with their weapons of war, yet no authority punished them.

It is time for us Biafrans to be prepared to lay down our lives for the struggle through non-violence and non-Exodus. We should remember someone like Nelson Mandela, a freedom fighter who spent 27 years in  prison and later came out became the President of South Africa. Why can’t we act in the same way for the emancipation of our peoples in Nigeria? Nigerians must come to an end.

It is  also time for us to prove our ability, integrity, personality and dignity as the oriental people because all the good things started from the East. Compare the people of Israel and the rest of the world and see that they are the blessed people, they lack nothing, only that sometimes they disobey the father-not heeding his laws, ordinances and statutes-and Yahweh also rejected them because of their stiff-necked. When you fail to heed to the instruction of your father, what do you think you can achieve? Biafrans must shine forth. Biafra is real, Biafra must stand. Obasanjo should let the Biafrans go; Yahweh Elohim is calling them---- allow them to go to their promised land, Obasanjo let the Biafrans go!!!!!!!

My fellow readers, as we all know, I started this awesome write up mentioning Chief Ralph Uwazuruike and MASSOB, but since many years ago Ralph Uwazuruike was no longer fighting for the freedom of Biafra. At his initial stage he started very well, but all of a sudden he deviated and become a politician, with every desire of mongering for national cake from Aso-Rock Abuja. Have you seen a freedom fighter who is  also a money monger?

That evil idea of Uwazuruike has made me to denounce MASSOB and their activities before I left Biafran land for Greece. He used the Biafrans who are under his leadership as the sacrificial lambs. He purposely hand their lives over to Nigerian security operatives. He is dancing to the tune of the money he collected from Nigerian government, before he dropped the agitation of Biafran freedom. And under the watch of Uwazuruike, many MASSOB members have been sent to their early grave because of the selfishness of Uwazuruike, because he combined freedom fighting with devilish politics.

In freedom fighting, those concerns suppose to believe in fairness, equity, and justice and to follow the principles and rules of fighting for people’s freedom. A freedom fighter is the one who fears no intimidation, oppression or suppression or tyrannical actions of those opposing you to stop fighting, no matter how the going gets tough.

What could be the meaning of a freedom fighter?

A freedom fighter is a person who thinks his native ethnic group is not free, and is working to have freedom for his group or people. Most often, this means that a freedom fighter wants his people to have own nation and independency and / or to get rid of oppressors. People who think like that are said to think  in a nationalist way.

Freedom fighter is a relativistic term- this means a person decides from his or her point of view if he can call some people or groups freedom fighters or not. Freedom fighter is a positive term-this means that he or she calls a person “freedom fighter” only if he or she supports the goal of the freedom fighter.

If people do not support his goals; they probably use more negative terms like insurgent, terrorist, rebel or criminal.  Freedom fighters are often called terrorists by their opponents if they hurt civilians. However not all freedom fighters hurt civilians.

Some freedom fighters damage the opposing military. Some freedom fighters damage property-this is called sabotage. There are also freedom fighters who do not use violence at all. For example: Mahatma Gandhi; and the Dalai Lama.

The Qualities of freedom fighters

The qualities are as follow:-

1.    A freedom fighter is a person with vision who thinks outside the box

2.   He or she is able to assume responsibilities.

3.   He or she is able to choose people of consequence for the right task ahead.

4.   He or she is diligent or resolute in their duties.

5.   A freedom fighter is able to communicate.

6.   He or she can be consistent and predictable.

7.   He or she can focus and get the job done without compromising.

8.   8. A freedom fighter can delegate authority and responsibility.

9.   He or she is able to garner local and world support.

10.                A freedom fighter is able to keep track of what is being done; and who is doing it.

11. He or she can hold people accountable for their mistakes, and take appropriate action.

12. A freedom fighter  has the ability to learn from their mistakes and the mistakes of others.

13.    Able to recognize when loyalty is warranted, and when it is not.

14.    Able to listen.

Able to nurture and inspire people to reach higher achievements

15.    Able to punish and demote people.

16.   Able to put their egos aside and step down when asked to.

17.   Able to recognize faults and good points in people.

18.   Able to recognize their own weakness.

19.   Able to say no to their friends.

20.   Able to set a good example.

21.   Able to work under pressure.

22.  Able to work with others.

23.  Good character.

24.  Have qualities that motivate the troops further.

25. Only expatriates who are well known and respected, should be considered.

26.  They are trustworthy.

27.  They are committed to the cause.

28.  They are competent in what they do.

29.  They are able to learn new things.

30.  They are really courageous.

31.  They are really able to solve problem.

They are really able to possess these qualities. Now ask yourself, Am I as a freedom fighter, do I have those qualities? Did Ralph Uwazuruike possess these qualities? From all these qualities of a freedom fighter, one must possess  at least 40% to 50%, if not 80%, because in our individual lives, there must be imperfection which I tagged as “BUT.” For example: this person is a freedom fighter, but is also a money monger, which has led him or her to extract money from the group. That tells us that peoples expectations from you must be at least 40% to 60% in freedom fighter’s qualities.

Crosscheck yourself now as we are fighting for the freedom of Biafra with IPOB and Radio Biafra under the leadership of our beloved Nnamdi Kanu-the Director of Radio Biafra and the commander in Chief of Biafran Army / Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

We should stop every vile of intimidation, oppression, servitude among us and learn from our past mistakes because dwelling in mistakes kill many people who are claimed to be freedom fighter, like Ralph Uwazuruike.
