BiAFRA: THE DANGER OF FOLLY - Remembering Prof Odenigbo

THE DANGER OF FOLLY: Remebering Late Prof Odenigbo

Many have come out for a singular purpose, to restore the dignity of our people. They understand the dangers we face as a people and have come to discover that, as we try to shy away from confronting these dangers and their fears, we become donkeys of labour and playthings to everything that breathes. Many have realized that this is not the way to live and have given up so much to stand and defend the rights of the indigenous people of Biafra to freedom and the rights to their own State, sovereign, separate and independent from Nigeria.


However, there still are millions amongst us Biafrans whose folly have blinded. Although these lot contribute to a larger part of the listenership in Radio Biafra, they seem not to have grasped that their ineptitude, nonchalance and indifference to our plight and cause amount to folly, and they have not considered the danger thereof. For this reason, I will now make it clearer:

1. We lack the ability to continue to live like slaves in a free world

2. We have lost all patience to remaining in the position of slaves in our own land.

3. We are tired of running away and seeking solace in foreign lands because, there, we still bear the stigma of slavery.

4. We have committed everything to restore our dignity, our land and the sovereignty of Biafra.

5. We understand that there are dangers ahead but we have faced dangers untold and many are still standing. We will willingly withstand every danger in our march to return home and regain our gain.

6. We understand that many have died and many may still die in this quest.

7. We have resolved that life without freedom is worse than death and that we would give everything to free ourselves and posterity from this further stigma of shame.

8. We understand that we need to get every logistics ready for eventualities in order to avert a repeat of the 60s genocide against our people.

9. We have sworn to God, to the spirit of our land, Biafra, and to ourselves that the pains and loss of the genocidal years and effects will not deter us.

10. We appeal to the conscience of ALL Biafrans wherever they may reside to understand that we will neither back down nor will we back out; therefore, we ask ALL Biafrans to FULLY support this restoration drive by every means possible.

11. To the folly, to the jesters and cynics and to all who sit on the fence, we say: Your positions will do you more harm than the good you anticipate in selfishness. Whether or not you support this move financially and otherwise, we will still march on relentlessly towards a restored Biafra. But if you still choose to remain seated on the face, know this:

A. When our enemies approach again, we shall do everything to defend ourselves.

B. We would rather die than run away or capitulate this time.

C. While we may stand to defend ourselves and your fathers and mothers and siblings and children, without your support, our defence may not guarantee their total safety.

D. If you still choose not to support us financially, your fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, children and family members will all die - owing to your folly. And we would gladly die with them in valiant defence of our God-given rights.

E. If, for anything, we all die because of your indifference to our calls for support, know ye that your case will be worse than it is for many Biafrans now. And you can be sure that another generation will rise up to claim back our freedom.

So, it's to the interest of all Biafrans to rise en masse and surrender every support needed to ensure that our enemies do not ever gain a foothold against us again. Either way and whatever your decision and stand becomes from now, Biafra will still stand because we will never cease to advance to possess it

May the soul of Professor Odenigbo rest in peace. . .Amen
