It is for the people of the east to make that call and<br \/>\nto make that decision and not for you.<\/p>\n<p>What you believe is good for the Igbo or what you prefer for them is<br \/>\nneither here nor there. Ultimately it is only THEIR choice and THEIR<br \/>\ndecision, which can only be made and established in a free and fair<br \/>\nUN-sponsored and conducted referendum, that matters.<\/p>\n<p>And in that referendum every single Igbo person, whether they be a<br \/>\ntraditional ruler, a chief, a wealthy business man, a pauper, a prince, a<br \/>\ngovernor, a legislator, an elder-statesman, a student, a trader, a<br \/>\nhairdresser, a bus-driver, a houseboy, a lawyer, a dancer, a singer, a<br \/>\nlandlord, a tenant, a judge, a clerk, a fisherman, a farmer, a<br \/>\ntaxi-driver, a secretary, a banker, a writer, a mortuary attendant, a<br \/>\npimp, a prostitute or a jobless man or woman only has one vote.<\/p>\n<p>It is either &#8220;yes&#8221; or &#8220;no&#8221;. No single vote is more important than the<br \/>\nother and each vote carries the same weight.<\/p>\n<p>The arrogance of those that beat their chests and believe that they know<br \/>\nhow that vote or referendum will ultimately go is second only to the<br \/>\nshort-sighted fools in the British media and political class who never<br \/>\nbelieved that the United Kingdom would vote for BREXIT and opt to leave<br \/>\nEurope.<\/p>\n<p>It is also similar to the willful blindness and self-inflicted delusions<br \/>\nof the Obama and Clinton-controlled liberal-left of American politics who<br \/>\nswore and honestly believed that Donald Trump would and could NEVER win<br \/>\nthe presidential election of 2016. They forgot the &#8220;God factor&#8221; in all<br \/>\nmatters touching and concerning the destiny of nations and men and what a<br \/>\nshocker they got!<\/p>\n<p>Those in igboland that say they are the true leaders of the Igbo and that<br \/>\ntheir people do not want to leave Nigeria and establish their own country<br \/>\nmay get the biggest surprise of their lives when the time comes.<\/p>\n<p>And not one of them can defeat Nnamdi Kanu in a free and fair election<br \/>\nANYWHERE in Igboland today. If they doubt that perhaps they should try<br \/>\nputting it to the test.<\/p>\n<p>The great black American freedom fighter Malcom X said &#8220;the price of<br \/>\nfreedom is death&#8221;. The 3 million Igbos that died in the civil war paid<br \/>\nthat price.<\/p>\n<p>The hundreds of thousands of Igbos that were slaughtered in pogroms in the<br \/>\nnorth in the mid-60&#8217;s, during the civil war, in the &#8217;70&#8217;s, in the 80&#8217;s, in<br \/>\nthe &#8217;90&#8217;s, in the 2000&#8217;s and indeed right up until today paid that price.<\/p>\n<p>The thousands of young and courageous IPOB men and women who were<br \/>\nmassacred by security forces in the streets of the east and in the<br \/>\nsanctity of their homes over the last two years have paid that price.<\/p>\n<p>The hundreds of Igbos that have been killed by state-protected Fulani<br \/>\nmilitias and herdsmen in their villlages and on their farms in the last<br \/>\ntwo years have paid that price.<\/p>\n<p>Then came the threat of genocide and carnage from the Arewa Youth when the<br \/>\nIgbo were told that they must leave the north by\u00a0<span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1117777080\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Oct. 1st 2017<\/span><\/span>\u00a0or suffer<br \/>\nanother whirlwind of slaughter and pogroms.<\/p>\n<p>Those that will be killed in the north after that date and once that<br \/>\ndeadline has expired will also have paid that price.<\/p>\n<p>Given all this I have one question to ask: if the Lord, in His infinate<br \/>\nwisdom and mercy, can raise a deliverer like the great Sir William Wallace<br \/>\nto liberate Scotland from the English in 1297 why would He NOT raise a<br \/>\nNnamdi Kanu to deliver the Igbo people after they have been subjected to<br \/>\ngenocide, mass murder, wickedness and injustice at the brutal hands of the<br \/>\nNigerian state for the last 57 years?<\/p>\n<p>If the Lord can raise an Oliver Cromwell to deliver the people of England<br \/>\nfrom the tyranny of the Crown in 1642 why would He not raise a Nnamdi Kanu<br \/>\nfor the Igbo in 2017?<\/p>\n<p>If the Lord can raise a George Washington to fight for American<br \/>\nindependence from the subjugation of the British Crown in 1775 why would<br \/>\nHe not raise a Nnamdi Kanu for the Igbo\u00a0 in 2017?<\/p>\n<p>If the Lord could raise a Maximillien Robespierre and Marat for the French<br \/>\npeople against the Bourbon royal family in 1789 and a Vladimer Lenin and<br \/>\nTrotsky for the Russian people against the Romanov royal dynasty in 1917<br \/>\nwhy would he not raise a Nnamdi Kanu for the Igbo in 2017?<\/p>\n<p>If the Lord could raise an Emeka Odumegwu- Ojukwu to deliver the Igbo<br \/>\npeople from total elimination, annihilation and extermination in 1967 why<br \/>\nwould he not raise a Nnamdi Kanu to deliver them from tyranny, mass murder<br \/>\nand threats of genocide in 2017?<\/p>\n<p>And the comparisons with Ojukwu are interesting. Both come from a royal<br \/>\nand noble lineage and bloodline. Both went to some of the best schools and<br \/>\nuniversities in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>Ojukwu was at Oxford whilst Kanu was at the Metropolitan University (after<br \/>\nfinishing his first degree at Nsuka).\u00a0 Both were well educated and<br \/>\nenlightened enough to recognise the chains of tyranny and both had the<br \/>\nmettle and the courage to cultivate a firm resolve to stand against it.<\/p>\n<p>One did so in the filed of battle when his people were subjected to<br \/>\ngenocide, denied the right of self-determination and attacked whilst the<br \/>\nother did so through aggressive political activism and without firing a<br \/>\nshot. Both are endearing, charming, handsome, charrismatic, articulate and<br \/>\nprofound.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, like all human beings, both are fallible and made one or two<br \/>\nmistakes and errors in their careers by what they said about others from<br \/>\ntime to time. This is to be expected because they are both human.<\/p>\n<p>Yet it is not what they say about others that matters but what they<br \/>\nrepresent. And what they both represent, which is essentially the<br \/>\nprotection of the weak from the tyranny and barbarity if the strong,\u00a0 is<br \/>\nnot only wholesome and righteous but also noble, honorable and worthy of<br \/>\nemulation.<\/p>\n<p>Few can dispute that the suffering of the Igbo over the last 57 years has<br \/>\nbeen horrendous, disproportionate and barbarous. By any civilised standard<br \/>\nit has been totally and completely unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p>Oceans of Igbo blood, including that of infants and babies, have been shed<br \/>\nand spilt over those years and that sacred blood not only cries to God in<br \/>\nheaven for vengeance but also continues to plague, foul and soil the very<br \/>\nfoundation of the Nigerian state.<br \/>\n.<\/p>\n<p>Not only has no remorse or regret been expressed or displayed for shedding<br \/>\nthat blood but instead those that have continuosly done so for no just<br \/>\ncause for the better part of the last fifty seven years have been<br \/>\nhandsomely rewarded and well-compensated for their great evil and<br \/>\nsociopathic disposition instead of being brought to justice.<\/p>\n<p>When we go out of our way as a people to care for the weakest, the most<br \/>\nvulnerable, the most villified, the most persecuted and even the most<br \/>\nundeserving in our society it says a lot about us. And when we kill them<br \/>\nat will and treat them like animals it means that we are no better than<br \/>\nravenous beasts.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is that nothing and no-one can stop Nnamdi Kanu because there is<br \/>\na divine element to his meteoric rise.<\/p>\n<p>God Himself has raised, lifted and annointed him and in doing so He has<br \/>\nplanted a seed, ignited a fuse and unleashed the spirit of Biafra\u00a0 in the<br \/>\nmind, body, spirit and soul of the Igbo nation.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever happens to Kanu today that spirit and that movement will not die<br \/>\nbut rather go from strength to strength.<\/p>\n<p>The man has died in millions of Nigerians that have remained silent when<br \/>\nfaced with the tyranny and injustice of today&#8217;s Nigeria. But not in Nnamdi<br \/>\nKanu. The man has refused to die in him and still lives on.<\/p>\n<p>He has refused to bow to tyranny and he has refused to succumb to the<br \/>\nblackmail and intimidation of the state.<\/p>\n<p>He is the Lion of the east: I stand by him, I love him and I salute his<br \/>\ncourage. O that we had more of his ilk in our shores. May God defend him<br \/>\nand may the Ancient of Days guide and protect Him.
