I was born to save and restore Biafra' - IPOB director, Nnamdi Kanu says
Leader
of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, says he was born to save
and restore Biafra. According to a statement released by the Media and
Publicity Secretary of the Independent People of Biafra IPOB, Emma Powerful,
Kanu said this while speaking to some of his members who recently paid him a
visit at Kuje prisons. The statement reads in part;
"The reason my
mother gave birth to me was to restore and save Biafrans. I also promise that
the Biafran race will be a cleaned up nation and all the people of Biafra will
come back home, if they are living outside the country of the new nation. Our
people will no longer wander on the road again. How can I encourage the people
of Biafra to work towards the upbringing of Nigeria, when we don’t speak the
same language, don’t eat the same food and don’t have the same culture. In
fact, if we come to their land to practice our culture and religion, we will be
beheaded. Their women wear hijab, and Biafran women don’t, and on the point
that our women don’t wear hijab and we don’t practice the same religion, they
will see us as infidels and then, we will be beheaded. We are 100 per cent
Christians. These people are Muslims who see killing as a culture.
In Biafra where we
originated from, it will be hard for our people to kill a human being, because
in my language a human being is called MMANDU, which means in English language
the beauty of life. Now, you can see it will never work, the only solution is
Biafra. We are not trying to secede from Nigeria. We are older than Nigeria.
You can only talk about seceding if Nigeria is the one that colonized Biafra.
But we are older than that contraption. So we can’t secede rather we just want
to go back the way we were before the British came. It is Biafra or nothing,
Nigerians knows that.”
