THE BRIBABLE VS THE HONOURABLE: ANAMBRA ELECTION BOYCOTT IN FOCUS

This work is meant to excite every true Biafran. It has come to my notice that some of us are unstable on matters that concern our future and that of our unborn and born children. I am impelled to exude angst over what I describe as myopia by some residents in Anambra State over the upcoming election. I have been able to make a lot of them that came to my inbox get back in line, but I fear that several others are going astray vis-a-vis the boycott.

Someone told me that the absence of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has discouraged a lot of us, but I quipped that those that feel disconcerted and discouraged by the absence of our leader are not TRUE BIAFRANS. For a true Biafran, the absence of our leader should be a motivation, not otherwise. This is the time to up the ante concerning the restoration of Biafra. The Anambra election is a litmus test that will prove to the world that we are resolute, ready, and desirous to escape this dungeon called Nigeria.

Those that are prone to bribe should tell us whether their immediate and personal problems are more important than the need to correct the social, religious, economic, and political problems bedeviling Biafra. Will bribe deliver us from this cesspit? Will bribe create the elusive haven for our children and family? How much are you being offered, by the way? How long will it last before you find yourself right where you were - the labyrinth of oppression? Why are we myopic? Why have we chosen to become pawns on the chessboards of these politicians that think of every other thing save OUR WELFARE? Those taking bribe should tell us whether those offering it ever thought of them before this time. When will we be ready to escape this fortress? You want to take bribe TODAY and regret TOMORROW.

What do you want to be remembered for: bribable or honourable? Ask yourselves why Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is special. Why is our leader the concern of the whole world today? Do you know how many times he was offered bribe? Are you aware that the notorious VAGABOND, Orji Uzor Kalu, made a serious attempt to bribe our leader? Do you know how many oil wells and billions of naira our leader turned down? Do you know why he remained resolute? Mazi Nnamdi Kanu knows that those offering these bribes are the real prison warders we must avoid. Our leader knew that taking these offers was tantamount to killing millions of Biafrans all over the world. When will you truly FOLLOW your leader? When? If you really love and miss our dear leader, then prove it by taking a cue from him.

Those of you that are susceptible to bribe are no different than the oppressors. The bribable are part of the subjugation, alienation, political exclusion, and vicious attacks Biafrans have suffered for years. You, bribable fools (ndi akpiri), are our real enemies. Your story will be like that of Shakespeare's Macbeth and Julio Caesar. Every traitor dies shamefully. Why take money you cannot enjoy? Many have sacrificed their lives for this course and all you can do is spit on their graves by taking money from their killers? Are you this heartlessly demonic? Does the travail of millions of Biafrans all over the world mean nothing to you? What will this money you are being given solve? Tell me.

When they offer you money they are simply seeking your say-so to continue to kill us, rape our women, and politically exclude us. The governors in the East are the agents of the Fulani. The earlier we started seeing them as such the better for us all. Those of us that tell you that it is better to participate in politics and get Biafra are not wise at all. Let me explain the consequences of this wrong piece of advice in the paragraph infra. This issue has to die today. An elder told me the same thing, so I think I have to tackle it once and for all.

Now, those who advise that we should participate in politics and get Biafra mean well, but they are poor thinkers. First, Nigeria is neither Spain nor Iraq. Here, we all know that as soon as our candidate for any election is known, the oppressors will wait until two days to the election before bringing criminal charges against him or her. They know how to frustrate those they are against in this country. They will do everything within their power to disqualify our candidate. This is Nigeria, a place where nothing conventional works. Yes, it is that bad, brothers and sisters. Second, we cannot condemn the politics and economy of Nigeria and still participate in same. The world will stop taking our agitation seriously. How does one hate and love the same thing when we know that love and hate are contradictories? We hate the way we have been treated by Nigeria. The boycott is the best way to show how unhappy we are.

Beloved Biafrans, we are trying to build a nation that has cost us many lives. We are working hard to actualise the dreams of our fallen heroes. For this cause, many women were raped and killed; many men were slaughtered and shot at; many children were starved and allowed to die of diseases; and many lost their wealth. When will we avenge these wrongs meted out to our people? The election boycott is a very good opportunity to get our pound of flesh. How we shall make a huge success is something I cannot say here. Of course, my team will be visiting our people there for adequate education. Anambra case will end further elections in Biafraland. We must stay in line concerning this. Those that compare our method with that of the Kurds and Catalonians have failed to understand that they remained resolute. We must boycott the election. The world will be watching to see how serious we are. Let us give ourselves Biafra using Anambra election boycott. The referendum we seek lies there.

All hail Biafra!
