What you don’t know is this:

1. The call for Biafra could have been spearheaded by anybody from any tribe

2. Just imagine Nnamdi KANU is from your community and he calls for a Biafra that includes Igbos, would the Igbos have asked for your permission to join you?

3. How would the young men who had no government influence or were not known by anyone get to your community to consult you about Biafra, on whose authority will they do that? Would you have listened to them? Don’t you know they had to build importance through the means (Radio Biafra) they used in building it for you to hear and believe?

4. Do you think the young men who started this agitation consulted their evil or defeated elders before embarking on this project? Don’t you know they knew if they had done that they would have failed from the start as the elders are beneficiaries of the failed Nigeria and would resist the change? Don’t you know our elders are not different from the Igbo elders? If they consulted ours they would get same result?

5. Maybe you think they should have consulted fellow youths in the Niger Delta struggle (our armed agitators). Are you not aware our own very agitators have sold themselves to Nigeria through eating of amnesty money and other bribes given them by Nigeria? So they lack the credibility to be consulted by any group who aims at success?

6. I think its not late, you can join those of us from south-south who are working to bring the Biafra consciousness to our people and the benefits attached to it. You can see Mazi Nnamdi KANU himself if you want as some of us have done and ask him any question that troubles you.

7. Biafra is our collective country. It is not only for the Igbos. Check history and ancient maps before the coming of Britain, we were already known in the world as Biafra. Don’t let anyone deceive you, Igbos will not have more rights than any of us in Biafra because we will not build another Nigeria.
