Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, says he
was born to save and restore Biafra. According to a statement released
by the Media and Publicity Secretary of the Independent People of Biafra
IPOB, Emma Powerful, Kanu said this while speaking to some of his
members who recently paid him a visit at Kuje prisons. The statement
reads in part;
"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. How can I encourage the people of Biafra to work towards the
upbringing of Nigeria, when we don’t speak 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 practice 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 Christians. 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 English language the beauty of life. Now, you can
see it will never work, the only solution is Biafra. We are not trying
to secede from Nigeria. We are older than Nigeria. You can only talk
about seceding if Nigeria is the one that colonized Biafra. 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 knows that.”
