No doubt independent State of BIAFRA is the future of Ndi-Igbo. The recent quit notice by a group of northern youths is another 'shock tactis'(shock doctrine) to shift the vital conversation about the future of a country meandering on from crisis to crisis. It is the work of politicians who build their ambition on the blood of innocent people. A deliberately provocative action calculated to arouse anger and create more confusion, but it's not enough to stop the agitation of a people seeking for peaceful political and economic liberty.
The politicians should do more to embrace a new mission that fosters dialogue and harmony and begin the process of facilitating regional autonomy to enable various reqions take their destnies in their own hands to secure the future of their young people who are victims of Nigeria's dysfunctional politics.
The powerful and the ruthless sycophants who benefit from the way things are now feel threatened by the robust clamour for freedom. This is a dubious action calculated to stoke anger and confusion.
The people of South-East Nigeria are subjected to social exclusion and massive poverty using a conquering technique. The people of BIAFRA are seeking for a new democratic reform that will balance the political and economic relationships within Nigeria in a peaceful manner.
If we truly want a more 'harmonious' society, we must embrace progressive values instead of fanning the flame of violence in the 21st century. This tactis is archaic, barbaric and will only strengthen the resolve of the people of BIAFRA to become independent and cease to be part of Nigeria.
