The Biafran: Self-determination

Wednesday, 11 May 2016

Buhari is frustrated. He is still locked up in military mentality of the 1960s, not realising the world has moved on fast to accept self-determination - MASSOB, IPOB

The Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra MASSOB, yesterday, stressed that General Muhammadu Buhari and his administration cannot stop the agitation for Biafra state. They described Buhari as a frustrated man still locked up in the military mentality of the 1960s and is out of touch with current realities of international laws on self-determination.

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.
