Sometime in May 2014, I was at Lekki Beach, a place we like to call CLASS
\nOF WIZARDS or CLASS for short. It\u2019s a place where young men and sometimes
\nwomen come to chill out and share ideas on every topic there is to
\ndiscuss.
\nOn this day, one class member, Celestine seemed hyper happy. He kept
\nsmiling for no apparent reason. This prompted the rest of the class to ask
\nwhat the happiness was about. Soon enough he began telling us about Radio
\nBiafra, gave us the dial and started telling us about a demonstration
\nscheduled for May 31, 2014. I calmly told him to relax on the pro-Biafra
\nenthusiasm as although that dream was not dead, it was quite far from
\nrealization. I even placed a bet that the May 31<\/span><\/span> demonstration would be of
\nno national significance. I won the bet.<\/p>\n

Soon after the 2015 election and I was in Enugu, one of my favourite
\nplaces to relax and I was having drinks with several young, enthusiastic
\nand politically conscious Nigerians with whom I started a non-political
\nmovement – the Peoples Liberation Congress (PLC) \u2013 a movement seeking a
\nworking Nigeria with the full involvement of the youth population.<\/p>\n

We were having drinks and discussing several issues and the issue of the
\nlate senator Chukwumerije came up, we compared his death to that of Oronto
\nDouglas and majority of us were of the opinion that the latter would be
\nremembered more than the aged former because he dedicated his life to a
\nhumanitarian cause. At a point I stood up to get drinks for a member of
\nour movement who had just joined us. Just then I was stopped by a bearded
\nman who I must say bore a striking resemblance to the late Biafran leader,
\nChukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu. He asked if I was an Igbo man, given that I
\nwas wearing my trademark Yoruba native caps. I replied \u201cYes, abu\u2019m nwa
\nAba\u201d meaning I am from Aba. He then showed me his phone, claiming he had
\nmade some calls for us to be dealt with for insulting Chukwumerije in
\nBiafra. I then got into a discussion with this man, explaining certain
\nthings.<\/p>\n

The man later joined our table and introduced himself as a member of the
\nMovement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB).
\nAfter several minutes, we took his contact and promised to be in touch. As
\nhe left, we laughed over the fact that he was still thinking of Biafra
\nseceding via violence.<\/p>\n

That discussion made me embark on more research about the Biafra movement.
\nI was to find out that the Radio Biafra my friend Celestine had told me
\nabout had started gaining the attention of the public in the East. I
\nstarted asking random people I met in Enugu bars about what they felt
\nabout the whole Biafra thing. Their response was divergent. Many wanted
\nBiafra, but a bloodless secession. Others wanted Biafra, and claimed to be
\nready for bloodshed too. The rest did not even want to hear of Biafra
\nanymore.<\/p>\n

Soon enough I was back in Lagos, although I had my ears on the activities
\nof Radio Biafra and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Enugu and
\nother parts of the east. From what I was told, the director and major
\nbroadcaster of the pirate radio, Nnamdi Kanu was busy feeding his
\nlisteners with hate speeches and vulgarity. I was also told that he was
\nspreading the propaganda of violence to his listeners. I have a problem
\nwith this. I, for one have undertaken a long study of Adolf Hitler, who
\nled the most successful \u201ctribe\/race based\u201d onslaught in history. One thing
\nI learnt from Hitler was the power of sustained propaganda. Even though
\nHitler had violence as the means to carry out his plans, it is worthy to
\nnote that he spent about 20 years spreading the propaganda of love for
\n“folk and fatherland.”<\/p>\n

Now, Nnamdi Kanu has one of the most powerful propaganda medium ever \u2013A
\nRADIO STATION. But in my opinion, he is not spreading the right
\npropaganda. Inciting people towards violence when you live in the UK and
\nhold British citizenship is not a true revolutionary move. At least that\u2019s
\nnot what I learnt from Mahatma Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King and
\nNelson Mandela, not even Hitler. These men all led their revolutions from
\nthe front, not from a remote location. I insisted that if Nnamdi Kanu was
\nin anyway serious, he should leave the UK, return to Nigeria and say those
\nthings he has been saying, so when he is picked up, his followers can
\n\u201cMandelarize\u201d him.<\/p>\n

Radio Biafra kept waxing strong until they caught the attention of the
\nMuhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government, who, in typical Buhari fashion
\nbegan a clamp down on the station and IPOB members.<\/p>\n

In October 2015, I took a week to visit Enugu again. This time around, I
\nhad IPOB and Biafra as one of the key reasons for this visit. Soon enough,
\nI had several meetings with members of IPOB. Some were planned while some
\nothers happened by chance. We discussed at length, I needed to know the
\ndirection the IPOB movement was going. From my findings, Kanu was still on
\nthe same track. I was disappointed. But on the flip side, I was greatly
\nimpressed.<\/p>\n

I was impressed because he had succeeded in planting the idea of ending
\nthis Royal Niger Company experiment, this Nigeria that has failed to live
\nup to a quarter of its potential, as a result of a host of factors,
\nincluding a host of factors (lol). I was impressed because Kanu had
\nsucceeded in making people in the South East and South South realize that
\nthere is a possibility for them to \u201cleave.\u201d This is okay, but I do not
\nagree with the propaganda that is foisting marginalization as its primary
\nargument and violence as its primary weapon. There is a greatly violent
\nmarginalisation happening in the Middle Belt, but\u2026 let me hold that
\nthought for another day.<\/p>\n

During my stay, I met with these IPOB people and I saw the enthusiasm they
\nhad, but it was blind enthusiasm. They did not know the consequences of
\nsuch an unplanned, violence based secession. How not-so-good-an-idea such
\na move would be from a diplomatic perspective. And by diplomatic, I mean
\ninternational relations.<\/p>\n

More worrisome was the disdain the IPOB members and their sympathizers had
\nfor MASSOB members and any Igbo indigene that refuses to tow their train
\nof thought. That is wrong, from a media perspective; it simply means your
\npropaganda is not sinking in. Anytime I tell any IPOB or MASSOB member
\nthat I\u2019m from Aba, they get angrier and I laugh some more. Aba is seen as
\none of the strongest hold, if not the strongest hold of the Biafra
\nmovement, but I\u2019m not a fanatic person, I\u2019m analytic biko.<\/p>\n

Take the Buhari case as an example, I always ask people why they never saw
\nBuhari as this incorruptible saint in the 2003, 2007 and 2011 presidential
\nelection? The answer is simple; a well-orchestrated propaganda was
\nstringed together within a couple of years which made it possible for him
\nto appear squeaky clean.<\/p>\n

In addition to this, Radio Biafra and IPOB are not putting into
\nconsideration the millions of Igbos and South South indigenes that are
\nliving outside the \u201cBiafran\u201d territory. In plain English: Biafra is not a
\ntopic of popular discussion in many, many places in Nigeria. Again, Let me
\nhold the thought I had\u2026 But Kanu needs to reach out if he knows what he is
\ndoing\u2026 which I mostly doubt.<\/p>\n

Going back to Lagos, my idea of the realisation of Biafra remained the
\nsame: Biafra is a good idea, but Biafra is very far from being ready. I
\ntold one pro-Biafran friend of mine, \u201cIf Biafra is actualized without
\nyears of thorough planning, dem go fight the true true Biafra war within 6
\nmonths\u201d<\/p>\n

Not soon after I got back to Lagos, I heard that Nnamdi Kanu had returned
\nto Nigerian and was arrested. I swallowed saliva. Things just got
\ninteresting!<\/p>\n

As I write this, Kanu is yet to be released, I read that his bail
\nconditions are yet to be met or something of that nature. There have been
\nprotests in Rivers, Delta, Enugu and Anambra states. There have also been
\nsolidarity marches in several countries around the world. But to what end?<\/p>\n

I have since told people to leave me out of the Biafra argument, for now.
\nLet us see how Kanu and his cohorts plan to use the event of his arrest to
\nthe advantage of their cause. But, if I am to give Kanu just one advise,
\nonly one\u2026 I will advise him to change the direction of the propaganda.
\nKanu should imagine the kind of global support the IPOB movement would
\nhave garnered if he had continually pushed for a referendum.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the kind of thing that would sell without having to gain
\nunnecessary enemies in the international community before his dream is
\neven actualized. No smart revolutionary goes to public domain to solicit
\nmulti-billion dollar funds to acquire weapons. I\u2019ve listened to Kanu
\nseveral times on Radio Biafra and watched a few video clips. The young man
\nis smart.\u00a0 But not smart enough in my opinion. In every revolutionary
\nmove, military tactics can never be overlooked. In fact, it is the most
\nimportant thing to put into consideration, but you do not bring it to the
\nfront burner. It is left in the background while diplomatic strategies are
\nemployed and explored to the fullest.<\/p>\n

The wiser solution in my opinion is to go back to the drawing board and
\nbegin pushing the idea of a referendum. A referendum will have a large
\nmajority of people from Southern Nigeria voting in favour of secession.<\/p>\n

In case Kanu is not aware, some Yoruba people are also getting very tired
\nof the Fulanis.<\/p>\n

But, what do I know?<\/p>\n
