I really don't know how and where to start from. Nigerians and even Biafrans have surprised me within these time we are all suffering the outbreak of coronavirus. I have read Nigerians and indeed some Biafrans and I was so much ashamed of our people. The worse of them all are those that have already started praying for the same evil politicians that raped them mercilessly. They now ask silly questions like: Where is our humanity? Why should we rejoice over the affliction of others? Most of the victims of covid-19 are same heartless politians that prior to the pandemic outbreak, always travel abroad for treatment, leaving the suffering masses behind to die in those shitholes called hospitals.
These Nigerians with very short memories have forgotten that it was these same politicians that refused to build hospitals and equip them with modern and efficient facilities. Same politicians that take millions in salaries and allowances, only to pay 18k to average civil servants. The same government that have neglected them and killed them using Fulani Herdsmen. What is actually wrong with Nigerians? Why is it that these Nigerians can't reason properly? Do they ever want freedom?
Some Biafrans are supporting politicians simply because those politicians now speak in their favor. They have forgotten that a politician is a politician and can never stop being a politician. Do you think a politician in the opposition who today calls for the division of Nigeria will still call for division when he finally gets into power? APC it was that shouted corruption and restructuring. Today where is the restructuring? Have APC not shown that they are more corrupt than any previous Nigeria government?
When politicians speak for you, as an activist and lover of freedom, never you give yourself entirely to them. They are the same people. They are enemies amongst themselves in the social media and friends in real life. They are enemies at night but friends during the day. There is no justifiable reason one should pray for any politician that contacts coronavirus. If you must pray, it should not be for their survival. Or you rather keep quiet.
You have no 24hrs electricity, yet they give you estimated bills. From a poor little girl or boy selling pure water, to that poor man pushing wheel-barrow, all are taxed heavily on a daily basis, yet nothing to show for it. No construction of roads.
You are shouting coronavirus, yet millions in Nigeria die out of Malaria and numerous diseases unreported. Ordinary malaria kills, dirty gutters everywhere. No clean water facilities and no housing, yet you claim you have government. Due to coronavirus, you are claiming useless humanity in a country government pamper and embolden terrorists such as Fulani Herdsmen and Boko Haram to kill people. Where are the humanity of your own politicians. In a country soldiers will be sabotaged and hundreds of them killed by bandits, Fulani Herdsmen and Boko Haram.
I have never seen a country where victims of rape pray for those raping them if not in Nigeria. Most of them shouting prayers for heartless politicians are the same people that supported Python Dance and are happy when pictures of IPOB members murdered by Nigeria military were reported. They have turned around to blackmail you into a useless prayers.
Let me tell you what you are blind to see. The people supervising the killings of IPOB members in South East are all PDP Governors. So if you think PDP when they return to power, they will call you and offer you Biafra or Restructuring, then you are a very sick blind baby. Like APC killed you, PDP will also kill and imprison you. APC romanced Shiite Muslims when they were in opposition, but when they grabbed power, they mowed down more than 700 Shiite Muslims in one Night, and didn't spare their leader. Do you think PDP will be different? Politicians are the same in Nigeria. PDP and APC are all the same.
I am completely tired of those that call themselves Nigerians. But I don't know what our own Biafrans are turning into. Keep praying for heartless killers and insult those trying to educate you.
Only Biafra will save you.
