Why Biafrans are hated in Nigeria in response to Femi Fani Kayode video of his meeting with Muhammadu Buhari —By C. K. Ekeke
By C. K. Ekeke
It is really sad that the West—Barack Obama, David Cameron, Germany, France and off-course Nigerians mostly the North and SW led by Tinubu - elected a man whose past and antecedents are well known.
Moreover,
most Nigerians know Buhari very well. His ethnic prejudice and
primordial policies during his military regime in 1983/84 crippled the economy
and the country. This is an ex-military dictator whose unguarded
comments, unwise actions, lack of communication skills and leadership etiquette
are nothing to write about. So far, his two-year presidency has been a complete
disaster.
It’s
really a shame of a nation that formulates policies designed to strangulate a
potential region of the country, a region that has the capacity and wherewithal
to develop the entire country.
And
so, why are Ndigbo hated in Nigeria? I have written on this topic
few times in the past including my piece titled: Why does Biafra want
separation from Nigeria! Seven reasons (Part 1 &2), published by several
Nigerian online newspapers.
In
the video that Femi Fani-Kayode released recently, President Muhammadu Buhari
stated the primary reason why the Hausa/Fulani hate Igbos so much in
Nigeria. I have read a number of articles, few books and seen videos
on the so-called “Igbo coup” of January 15, 1966, which off-course has been
debunked by a number of writers and eye-witnesses. I’m not going to
dwell on the awful history of Nigeria’s military period, but luckily we now
know why Ndigbo are deeply hated in Nigeria.
Having
known this, what are we going to do to redeem our history and reclaim our
future in Nigeria?
Like
the Jews, whom Igbos claim affinity with, they were hated by their neighbors –
the Palestine, Arabs, Europeans, etc. and persecuted
worldwide. Throughout the history, we read how the Jews were
persecuted, sent in bondage because of whose they are and who they claimed to
be, in addition to their disobedience and not following the commandments of
God. Because of those reasons and others, the Jews always found themselves
in bondage or enslaved...
We
can count few nations in the world that like the Jews. But they have
always overcome their travails. Each time, they cried out to God and
a prophet will be sent by God to deliver them.
By
divine intervention and providence, in 1948, the Jews finally settled in a tiny
Land in Middle East, the size of Abia/Imo State combined. Today, the
Jews literally control the globe with their ingenuity, innovation, and
creativity. The tiny country of Israel, which has no natural resources, is
among the richest nations and the third most industrialized nation on the
planet after USA and Japan. Its minimum wage is higher than that of
the U.S... Their scientists, innovators, writers, lawyers,
entrepreneurs, professors, etc. scatter the globe and lead some of the
prominent institutions in the world.
The
Jews have learned to love and care for one another again, which was destroyed
as a result of their travails and history of persecution, bondage and
enslavement. Today, a Jew cannot look away while another Jew is
struggling or suffering. They have re-established their “beloved
community” – no fierce competition among themselves, no greed, no jealousy, no
backbiting, none of that, but they work together to transcend adversity and
achieve common success in all that they do and touch.
That’s
what Ndigbo need to learn to do if they are ever going to conquer the adversity
and pathological hatred against them in Nigeria. It is going to take
the secret of the Jewish people and God’s divine intervention for Igbos to
survive in Nigeria.
Igbos
are fiercely hated by Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba tribes of Nigeria. And that’s one
of the major reasons Nigeria cannot advance beyond what it is today—essentially
a failed State, a corrupt, lawless and violent nation.
Despite
her enormous human capital and abundant natural resources—a nation with so much
promise of prosperity and greatness, today is a failed State because of ethnic
hatred, tribalism, and injustice against Igbos. The Nigerian State sponsors
ethnic and religious massacre using Boko haram and Fulani herdsmen as well as
military and political motivated killings.
The
barbaric, murderous state of Nigeria is one the main reasons several groups are
agitating for self-determination, which is an international
law. Some groups seek restructuring, which the north views as
division of the country. Even though, the agitation for the
restoration of the sovereign State of Biafra by IPOB is widely felt in Nigeria
and globally today, Niger Delta, OPC, Middle Belt, etc. and other variant
groups are calling for restructuring or disintegration of the country.
Most
ethnic groups in Nigeria want freedom and self-determination
from the corrupt and failing State of Nigeria, which has been badly managed by
a clandestine elitist group for their selfish and self-serving
purposes. Moreover, the deep seeded ethnic hatred, severe suffering
and marginalization and numerous injustices against Ndigbo by the Hausa-Fulani
Caliphate and Yoruba co-conspirators since the amalgamation of Nigeria in 1914
cannot be healed overnight.
Some
of us who have spent time studying the mechanics—politics of hatred and
policies of stagnation of the former eastern region know quite well that Ndigbo
have no future in Nigeria. And those who still believe in
one-Nigeria are either deluded or protecting the little crumbs they are
receiving from their Fulani masters. We are deceiving ourselves in
Nigeria. Instead of continuous waste of lives and destruction of
destinies, the best thing is for peaceful division of the country if the north
cannot agree to true fiscal federalism and regional autonomy.
It
is time sincere and courageous citizens come together and unite to
liberate themselves and their land from this clandestine and corrupt elitist
group that have held Nigeria in bondage for too long.
All
Sincere Nigerians must come together and do whatever is necessary to
restructure the country or peacefully divide it — because there is no future
and hope for us in today’s Nigeria. Life in Nigeria today is a hopeless
one. Apart from the thousands that have been massacred since Buhari came
into office, one study recently estimated that 7.4 million Nigerians are
mentally depressed due to economic recession and hardship.
President
Buhari and his northern cabals do not want restructuring. APC/Buhari said that
1300 page report of the 2014 National Conference organized by ex-president
Gioodluck Jonathan should be consigned to the dustbin. Within months of coming
into power, President Buhari relocated the army headquarters to his State, and
appointed his nephew to be the chief of army staff. His cousins,
nephews and friends head most of the vital institutions in Nigeria
today. All the military institutions are headed by Fulani men who
are absolutely loyal to Muhammadu Buhari even in his death
bed. Sadly, Islamic Nigeria has become our new colonial master with
their network of political prostitutes from Biafra representing their
self-interests as long as they are given crumbs that fall under the table.
The
north want status quo to continue. They want to continue to control the crude
oil resources in Biafra land and revenue that accrues from it. They
want to continue to control their conquered territories, which sadly today
includes several parts of Biafra land. They want to stay on top of
the oppressed people simply for their selfish, self-serving ideologies. However,
history teaches us that such conquest and oppression do not always
survive. Babylon, Assyria, Rome, Greece, Britain, France, etc. all
failed.
We
need courageous, visionary and skillful Nigerians to work together to
emancipate the country from this systemic marginalization, political
oppression, and satanic subjugation against the indigenous populations.
If
we do not wake-up from our slumber now to confront the on-going satanic plan
and attack carefully orchestrated by the Northern Oligarchy and their British
imperial masters to continue the marginalization and subjugation of ethnic
populations, the entire Nigeria will be enslaved and Islamized one day. As a
matter of fact, the Eastern region is the only remaining territory for
Hausa/Fulani to conquer in Nigeria. And it is on-going now. If it is
not confronted, Nigeria will become Turkey or Egypt one day. Why
not? Nigeria is the absolute desire of Saudi Arabia to become fully
Islamized in Africa.
The
strategy of conquest and enslavement of ingenious populations has always been
the same used by colonial powers of the past – Babylon, Assyria, Rome, Greece,
Britain, France, America, etc. And that’s exactly what is going on
in Nigeria today. I firmly believe the evil British government is behind the
oppression of Igbo in Nigeria. We need Godly wisdom and divine
strength to overcome their satanic subjugation.
Moses,
the great Jewish leader and prophet was called by God to deliver the children
of Israel from the oppressive regime of Pharaoh and orchestrated policy to
exterminate the Israelites from Egypt. Moses was born
during the oppression of the Israelites in Egypt (Exodus 2:2). King
Pharaoh launched an official policy of oppression against the Israelites
because of their population growth, progress and wealth. When the
oppression failed to curb the population growth, he announced the new policy
(death decree) – “Every boy that’s born to the Hebrew woman shall be thrown
into the Nile (Exodus 1:22). Moses was born just during that time. Even though Moses grew in up the
Palace and received the best education the world can offer then, he was not a
happy child. He grew up to witness the oppression
and maltreatment of his people. Moses responded to the act of
oppression against his people by killing an Egyptian and will later lead a
movement with the help of Joshua, Aaron and divine guidance of God, he brought
out the enslaved Israelites out of Egypt.
Jesus
Christ was born in the middle of Roman conquest of his people and
land. As he grew up, he led a movement that rebelled against the
social, moral, economic and political injustices against his
people. Jesus was murdered by the Romans with the help of his people
– the Jewish religious bigots and hypocrites for the primary reason that he
rebelled and agitated for freedom of his oppressed people. He remains the
greatest moral, human and political activist of all time.
Mahatma
Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr. – are just few examples of other
human rights activists that agitated for social justice and freedom of their
people.
Aren’t
we tired of living in captivity, bondage, slavery and servitude in this modern
times in our beloved country? Isn’t time that we demand to live as free people
– to live in freedom, liberty, justice and pursuit of happiness for all? Isn’t
time for all Nigerians to live in prosperity and pursue their God-given destiny?
By
the way, one-Nigeria and unity cannot be achieved by force. Even God did not
compel His creation to live in hateful unity and abused relationships. In fact,
those were the very reasons divorce was permitted biblically. God
the Creator did not continue to share the heavens with Satan, who was the
“Angel of Light “after he rebelled and committed idolatry. God
does not condone unity with uncircumcised people. Jesus Christ did not
ask us to love and live with our enemies. He only told us to love our neighbor.
We were not commanded to live with a neighbor who hates and always ready
to kill. We don’t have to live with hateful and treacherous neighbors.
May
God open our eyes, enlighten our minds and give us the strength to forge the
unity and foster the love necessary to confront this satanic conspiracy in
order to free our people and land from the coming enslavement and islamization
of entire Nigeria.
