The embattled leader of the pro-Biafra group, Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu has revealed that the fight for the actualisation of Biafra was a mandate handed to him by God, the Highest (Chiukwu-okike-abiama).
The embattled IPOB leader yesterday made the revelation in court where he maintained that the restoration of Biafra is a project which has been nursed and must be achieved under the banner of the IPOB led by him.
Nnamdi Kanu in a seeming likeness to the Biblical Moses noted that he has been called to lead the people out of the contraption called Nigeria adding that he does not fear death.
The powerful message is contained in a statement released by the Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB, Comrade Emma Powerful.
In the statement, Nnamdi Kanu pointed that he has dedicated his life to the restoration of Biafra “just as our Lord Jesus Christ dedicated His own life for the salvation of mankind”
He continued: “the reason my mother gave birth to me was to restore and save Biafrans. I also promise that the Biafran race will be a cleaned up nation and all the people of Biafra will come back home if they are living outside the country of the new nation. Our people will no longer wander on the road again”.
Further in the statement, Nnamdi Kanu queried: “How can I encourage the people of Biafra to work towards the upbringing of Nigeria, when we don’t hear the same language, don’t eat the same food and don’t have the same culture. In fact, if we come to their land to practise our culture and religion, we will be beheaded. Their women wear hijab, and Biafran women don’t, and on the point that our women don’t wear hijab and we don’t practice the same religion, they will see us as infidels and then, we will be beheaded. We are 100 per cent Christian. These people are Muslims who see killing as a culture.
“In Biafra where we originated from, it will be hard for our people to kill a human being, because in my language a human being is called MMANDU, which means in the English language the beauty of life. Now, you can see it will never work, the only solution is Biafra.”
Comrade Emma Powerful in the statement said: “There is no regret in his dictionary”, he continued: “he is ready to spend a thousand years in prison. “ “And also we are not trying to secede from Nigeria. We are older than in Nigeria. You can only talk about seceding if Biafrans are they ones that colonized Nigeria. But we are older than that contraption. So we can’t secede rather we just want to go back the way we were before the British came. It is Biafra or nothing, Nigerians know that”.
