Time to finish the unfinished business: Nnamdi Kanu arrives Biafra. Pays solemn visit to the hallowed grounds of Biafran Memorial Cenotaph

Time to finish the unfinished business: Nnamdi Kanu arrives Biafraland. Pays solemn visit to the hallowed grounds of Biafran Memorial Cenotaph

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra Mazi Nnamdi Kanu arrived Biafra, and his first port of call was to the hallowed ground where the Biafran memorial cenotaph is located. Like the Biafran project, the cenotaph (depicting a Biafran eagle devouring a snake painted in Nigerian colour) is an unfinished business.

Republic of Biafra Anthem

Land of rising sun, we love and cherish,
Beloved homeland of our brave heroes;
We must defend our lives or we shall perish,
We shall protect our hearts from all our foes;
But if the price is death for all we hold dear,
Then let us die without a shred of fear.

Hail to Biafra, consecrated nation,
O fatherland, this be our solemn pledge:
Defending thee shall be a dedication,
Spilling our blood we’ll count a privilege;
The waving standard which emboldens the free
Shall always be our flag of liberty.

We shall emerge triumphant from this ordeal,
And through the crucible unscathed we’ll pass;
When we are poised the wounds of battle to heal,
We shall remember those who died in mass;
Then shall our trumpets peal the glorious song
Of victory we scored o’er might and wrong.

Oh God, protect us from the hidden pitfall,
Guide all our movements lest we go astray;
Give us the strength to heed the humanist call:
To give and not to count the cost’ each day;
Bless those who rule to serve with resoluteness,
To make this clime a land of righteousness.
