This illusion called Biafra by Charly Boy

Charly boy blast Biafra secessionist!!! Called Nnamdi Kanu "pikin" delivered venom.

"I guess it’s about time I break my silence on this matter. From 1967 to 1970 my youth was scandalized with the horrors of the Nigerian civil war. I was never on the front line as a fighting soldier, but I was in the boys’ brigade transmitting from the naval headquarters then in Oguta. With the daily air raids and the smell of death all around us, we were thankful every day we managed to stay alive. I remember a sight that has never left me till today at the tail end of the civil war. I was walking down the street on my way to the stream to fetch water, lo and behold was the sound of death (air raids). As we all ran in different directions looking for a safe place to take cover, I turned around to figure the direction my friends were running in, all of a sudden I saw the head of one of them yanked off the body, as a result of the fighter jets that killed innocent civilians for fun. What a horrible sight for a 17yr old. The words of plato “only the dead see the end of war” were forever engrained in my thoughts.

"I am a proud Igbo man, a homeboy, and a native fowl. No demo. My friends call me Igbotic not because I’m a nerd, or a jewman. But because I represent and symbolize all the characteristics of a typical Igbo man pre-civil war. The Igbos may have short-circuited their political growth, but it doesn’t take away the fact that we are great Nigerians. I have learnt to be more Igbotic than I ever expected. As an Igbo man, I have learnt to be more profitable in the things that I do. I have perfected the art of being tenacious in any dream I chase; to be industrious, consistent and powerfully focused. All the lessons I learnt from my brothers in the tribe have made me dogged, hard-working and exhibiting the ability and capacity to survive in any kind of weather. I am an original Nwa Biafra.

"Needless to say, the Igbo man is known to be one of the most entrepreneurial minds in the country. So it is particularly pathetic and unfortunate when some ignorant youths talk about this illusion called Biafra. History should teach us that Nationhood is Bloody, Hard and almost impossible when fantasy is the currency of demand. Even as Nigerians, see how our docility is killing our humanity. Didn’t the fall of Biafra after the genocide and the suffering of my people teach us anything? Haven’t we been marginalized enough? I believe the failure of the Igbo nation is the fault of the elites and decision makers. Why have we not poured our energy, capacity, and ability into making the South East the Dubai of the nation as well as the engine room of the Nigerian economy? Who would be our leaders when the South East is infested with political power grabbers, 419ers, mindless criminals and looters of our commonwealth and resources? Need I mention names?

"See how we have migrated to different parts of Nigeria and the world, made it home and developed our immediate environment - which is good, anyway. But why are we neglecting our home base, why are we running away from developing the South East?

"Our problem may not, after all, be the man in Aso Rock from Daura or the ordinary Hausa or Yoruba man on the Streets of Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Warri or Ogbomosho. The problem is the lack of men of integrity and a progressive mindset. We lack the right kind of leadership that will fight for the interest of the people. Let it be clear to all that the suffering of the people from the South East is also the suffering of the people from the other geopolitical zones in Nigeria. It is therefore retrospectively insane to begin to think that a people with a problem would suddenly be relieved when they are attached with a tag #BIAFRA; What nonsense and insanity!

"Now, how do you begin to imagine that while the agitation for the state of Biafra is being demanded by the gullible Ibo youths, those who have been or are in a position of authority are either not interested or are continuing their expansive investments in other parts of Nigeria? Who dem dey deceive? They divide us daily with Religion, Tribalism, Ethnicity and Petty Bigotry; even among the tribes and ethnic composition in the South East, there is divisiveness.
Why is Namdi Kanu yet to realize that the dreams of nationhood are lost on the altar of deception?

"Have we even considered that the population of my people from the South East outside the Region is twice the population of those in the South East? How can we who are supposed to be looking at making the South East the centralised Industrial Hub of the Nigerian nation be the ones who are driving a wedge of unrealistic fantasy between Nigeria and our own people? When President Muhammadu Buhari sings the localization and Nigerianization song; we should be the ones to drive the narrative, because we can. When you have a willing partner, who is interested in the Nigerianization of the Nigerian economy, why are some of my people busy creating or poisoning the environment that are ordinarily designed to favor that which will promote the industrialization of the South East? Why have we become the enemy of our own home? Why hasn’t the “think home mentality” arrested every Igbo billionaire and millionaire? Why are we eliminating the chances of Ibonising the Nigerian Economy by Nationalizing the Ibo Thought for a United and Prosperous Nigeria as well as for the benefits of all?

"I cannot STAND here and tell you there are no problems of trust in Nigeria. I will be the last to say that the Ibo nation has not undergone persecution. I will be foolish to ignore the hunger that was used as a tool to starve the Ibo nation during the civil war. I am perfectly in the know about the problems of the Nigerian structure. Abeg make we know our history but use am to work today to perfect tomorrow.

"No one can argue the facts, and the facts are clear. The major problem of the Ibo nation is also the major issue with the Nigeria State. ‘The Mindset’. The mind must first be liberated, the thoughts must be harmonized and the people of the South East, my dear brothers and sisters, must know that the development of the region is horrible because the leaders in the region have failed. Politically, Religiously, Societally and Communally. Over the past decades, where is the Accountability from the leadership with regards;
1. FAAC;
2. IGR;
3. LOCAL BONDS;
4. FOREIGN DEVELOPMENTAL LOANS;
5. AIDS; GRANTS & BUDGETARY SUPPORT;
6. THE MANY FEDERAL PROJECTS IN THE REGION, etc.

"The Failure of Leadership is evident in our agitation for Fairness, Justice, and Equality for every Nigerian not just for every Ibo man. And so the Mind of the typical Ibo Leader Needs a Revolution to be realigned for the Interest of the People rather than the interest of their pockets. Biafra is not the Solution, I truly don’t think so. So, Igbo ndi Oma, Let’s focus on our homeland and begin to demand accountability and responsibility from many of our Scammers, Riffraffs and Fraudsters in the Ibo Kingdom called leaders. Let’s us pause on the fantasy tagged Biafra for now. Let us dutifully work ourselves back into reckoning by industrializing our home base.

"I know we can, and we should. I also urge Mr President to show mercy on our brother Nnamdi Kanu; Him be Pikin.

"Biafra, my Igboticness is always on my mind because #OURMUMUDONDO".

Nigeria Democracy Is For The Rich.

By Egbara Emmanuel 29/05/17 In Nigeria as a country Democracy is a system of government where the political power rests with the nation's population either directly or through elected representatives. According to Abraham Lincoln It is the government of the people, for the people, by the people but in Nigeria Democracy is the government of the rich for the rich and by the rich, From the definition of Abraham one should be able to infer that the purpose of democracy is to build a just society where the interests of all the people are cared for rich and poor, men and women, minorities as well as the majority and the economy works for the benefit of all but in Nigeria the reverse is the case. Democracy should be about the ordering of society to bring about justice for all but in Nigeria those who loot our common wealth are honoured with National awards why those who steal vegetation are still in prison. If it does not work for the common good then there is so...

Jude Vanguard set to take-off in Calabar.

A non-profit and social political group Jude Vanguard is set to be launched in calabar. Read through plans below as supported by the DG Comr Ipuole Patrick. This is an independently owned Nigerian based group with the simple objective of promoting peace, unity and economic growths in Nigeria States. It is obvious that Nigeria is not growing because of high level of corruption, some external factors and divisiveness in the country; however, we are convinced that our recommendations if executed in those areas will start the unifying and healing processes that will definitely promote peace, unity and economic growths. This group will take-off in Cross river state because of the strategic and economic importance of Cross river to Nigeria. The group is well informed of the fact that Nigeria is the heartbeat and oxygen that supplies bloods to many African countries and beyond; all our efforts will be highly centered in Nigeria, because we believed that once we get Nigeria going, h...

THE SHOOTING OF UNICAL STUDENTS BY THE COERCIVE APPARATUS OF THE STATE AT THE ORDER OF CRS COMMISSIONER FOR YOUTHS AND SPORTS; A RASCALITY OF DERAILED GOVERNMENT~Ogar, Emmanuel

Photo credit: Google.com We are saddened and stunned to say the least by the reprehensible and dishonorable act of urban psychosis of the Nigerian Army yesterday being 27th May, 2017 at Murtala Mohammed Highway Calabar by Transcorp Hotel who were dispatched to maintain tranquility and order— but rather opened fire at the protesting students that were panned by the scorching sun in U. J. Esuene stadium without food or water during the Children’s Day programme. We gathered authoritatively from various sources that the students were protesting over the alleged absconding of the money promised them by the governor of Cross River State, Prof. Ben Ayade by the Commissioner for Youths and Sports, Mr. Asu Okang. Three students were reported to have been shot with various degrees of injuries the security operative. These are harmless citizens and students for goodness sake! Having observed and assessed the issue critically, we hereby condemn in its totality this brutish and reckless a...

A social media Activist a writer and a grassroot mobilizer in Yala Local Government Area of Cross river State, Egbara Emmanuel Ikaba, has disclosed that the state Governor, Senator Benedict AYADE deserves another second tenure in office, to enable him consolidate on the gains he has made for the state so far. He said that youths in Cross river North Senatorial District would ensure that Ayade's second term bid is successful. Egbara, in a chat with newsmen, commended the Governor for attracting general development to Cross river North. According to him, “we are experiencing what we have never seen in terms of development in my area, and they are there for people to see. “This is not an attempt to commend non-existent achievements. Ayade has done well so far. And anybody, who has seen his good works, would only beg him to continue. It is like a football match and you don’t stop a football match after the end of first half. So this is Ayade's first half; he d...

A MALABITE: SHRUNKEN BY CALIFORNIA CORN FLAKES

Prof. as he’s fondly called was a brainy student who was full of life with the sparkling of youthful agility. He swam across the boisterous and tempestuous Oron River without the fear of its deluge to acquire higher education in the famous University of Calabar— all in the quest of becoming an illustrious son of his family and the immediate society. Sadly, his dreams and the expectations of his people now wallows in the miry clay of psychosomatic oddness. Prof. and most of us were in Unical. We were residents of Malabo Republik (c). I was staying in room 201 in Hall5 that equally housed him. He was in the stock of the core Malabo boys whose aksions (actions) weren’t overlooked though not always reasonable as the slogan were and is, as it stance. ‘Real Malabites and Malabresses (those living in Malabo and female hostels) knew him. His adopted name, Prof. rang like church-bell. In the domain of campus entertainment, he was there to rap like Tupac. When the likes...
