| How the "unseen hand" used Buhari to bring Biafra (Part 1) |
When the struggle for the restoration of the sovereign state of Biafra is over and the nation finally restored, one name will stand out as one of the people that ‘’worked assiduously’’ for the coming of Biafra even though blindly. The name will definitely be the name of the current President of Nigeria popularly known as African Hitler Muhammadu Buhari (AHMB).
My hope got rekindled about the quick coming of Biafra as soon as AHMB was declared and sworn in as the winner of the 2015 presidential election. May of us that know him as a blind fighter knew that his coming presents the best opportunity for the coming of Biafra as we were sure that he will BLINDLY FIGHT BIAFRA INTO A REALITY.
That is exactly why we silently prayed for him to win. Off course, he did not disappoint as he ‘blindly played’ as anticipated.
For reasons no one call tell other than making himself a ‘’willing tool to be used,’’ the ‘unseen hands’ in the Biafran struggle and Buhari’s hatred for Igbo Biafrans conspired to use him to fasten the Biafran cause.
Buhari has single handedly quickened the coming of Biafra through his actions and inactions even more than the efforts of all Biafrans put together.
In barely his 16 months on the throne as the president of Nigeria, Buhari has blindly assisted and promoted the coming of Biafra even more than Biafrans have done in the last 16 years.
Just within these few months, if Buhari is not giving free worldwide presidential advertisement cum publicity to the Biafran cause, he will be giving Biafrans a Punchline to anchor their struggle or better still ‘’educating’’ them on how the UN has right to self-determination enshrined.
If he is not doing the above, he is busy getting involved in ‘’small pikin kinds of lies’’ before the whole nation to the amazement of Biafrans. If he is not doing that, he is making it obviously noticeable that that he is desperately trying to create a non-existent split in the ranks of the Indigenous People of Biafra.
How can we forget how from the blues and just within his first 50 days in power, precisely on July 15, 2015 AHMB gave Radio Biafra a free worldwide advertisement, publicity and endorsement when for no known reason(s) he released a presidential press statement claiming that Radio Biafra is lying against him.
According to the free advertisement cum free publicity for - radio Biafra and the Biafran cause – the presidential press statement signed on his behalf by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, he alleged that the claims that he (AHMB) made anti-Igbo comments during an interview on Hausa Service of the BBC are completely false, malicious, and slanderous.
Hear him ‘’The voice being ascribed to President Buhari in the RECORDING REPEATEDLY played back by the pirate radio station is definitely not the president’s and the claim that the station got the recording from BBC interview is totally untrue.
No one should be deceived by the pirate radio station's hate propaganda against the President.
President Buhari has not had any interview with the BBC's Hausa Service since his assumption of office as alleged by the agents of disunity behind the pirate radio station's inflammatory and divisive broadcasts.
The last interview he had with the BBC Hausa Service, lasting not more than five minutes, was on the day he was declared winner and given his certificate of return as President-elect by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
Thankfully, the BBC Hausa Service Editor, Mr. Mansor Liman has distanced the BBC from the false interview clip being ascribed by the pirate radio station to President Buhari.
President Buhari is the President of all Nigerians and will continue to treat all citizens on the basis of fairness, equality and equity.
Nigerians should therefore ignore all propaganda designed to sow seeds of discord among them and promote a separatist agenda against national unity, solidarity and progress’’
Wow! Did I see you shaking your head in utter amazement? Did I hear you ask: Is this same president that had urged Nigerians to stop listening to the gospel of Chukwu Okike Abiama preaching station? Same man that had before this date claimed that he had jammed the same radio station? Now confirming that he had repeatedly listened? Same man that together with his goons in the APC who had before the 2015 presidential elections started FM radio broadcasts called ‘’Radio Chanji’’ that was NOT registered anywhere on earth calling a radio station duly registered in Britain a pirate station? Moreover, did anybody or the station say that the replayed clip was that of Buhari? No! It was announced that it is the voice of Alhaji Sir Ahmadu Bello (outlining his infamous anti-Igbo and northernization policy with a BBC English interviewer). So, how come that Buhari claimed that Radio Biafra "lied" against him? A classic case of the 'Unseen Hands' in action using a hater to perfect the needs of the hated.
Offcourse, such contradictions from AHMB was all that the Radio Biafra presenters had to take advantage of and the station became an instant hit. That blunder from AHMB immediately made radio Biafra the most listened to radio station on earth. It became a worldwide phenomenon and an authority on how freedom fighting should be fought or anchored and one of the most talked about subjects in recent times.
It commanded DAILY LIVE listenership of over 50 million listeners with many more joining via podcast.
From then onwards, it became obvious to even the blind that the Biafran restoration project has became an unstoppable fight. With more listenership came tremendous growth in the IPOB families and followership worldwide. Evangelizing the gospel of the Biafran restoration became much more an easier task.
Offcourse, the growth meant more support for the project and tremendous increase of truly HARDCORE BIAFRANS from all works of life and of different mother tongues in Biafra land. Which perfectly ensured that the artificially created ‘’divide and rule, and insatigated enemity/hatred’’ between the South East and South South or if you like, Igbos and their former Eastern region cousins were immediately conquered as more and more non-Igbo speaking Biafrans started pleading for IPOB families to be inaugurated in their domains.
The support became so massive that ALL the poorly trained and well paid team of "experts" that the government engaged to jam the station all failed. Not even their attempts at neutralizing the station could work. Trust the Biafrans to throw a challenge of who has the more advanced technological ingenuity to the government. The fact that the station prevailed at the end of the day ensured that its listenership doubled and IPOB membership tripled.
And then just when you think that the AHMB and his government was done with committing blunders and giving the Biafrans opportunities to milk to ensure greater outreach, AHMB, will go on to do the unthinkable. Yes! AHMB will go on to simply give the struggle the much needed PUNCHLINE.
Just as if AHMB was being remote controlled by a power that was determined to use him as a tool to make sure that the coming of Biafra was fastened with a speed of light, AHMB will go ahead on a world stage to tell the world that he supports the right to self-determination and that no group of people should be subjected to a blockade even as he reminded the UN that ensuring that is the basis for the union's formation.
Hear him, Mr. President,
‘’As we engage in these annual debates, we need remind ourselves of the principles that led to the founding of the United Nations. Among those are peaceful coexistence and self-determination of peoples. In this context, Mr. President, the unresolved question of self-determination for the Palestinian people and those of Western Sahara, both nations having been adjusted by the United Nations as qualifying for this inalienable right must now be assured and fulfilled without any further delay or obstacle.
The international community has come to pin its hopes on resolving the Palestinian issue through the two – states solution which recognises the legitimate right of each state to exist in peace and security. The world has no more excuses or reasons to delay the implementation of the long list of Security Council resolutions on this question. Neither do we have the moral right to deny any people their freedom or condemn them indefinitely to occupation and blockade’’
Of course, this speech by AHMB has today become a major DEFINING MOMENT in the struggle for the restoration of the sovereign state of Biafra as it has destroyed every argument locally and watered down any objection internationally that the state of Nigeria has against a 2 state (or more) solution to the Nigeria – Biafra crisis.
