Just when you think the demagogues spearheading the directionless
IPOB have learnt that you don’t pursue a wild animal that bites with
bare hands, they surprise you with yet another intellectual nonsense.
In a response to purported claims by MEND that a preliminary
agreement has been reached with the Federal Government of Nigeria for
the release of Nnamdi Kanu on the condition that he will renounce his
call for the actualization of sovereign state of Biafra, the
self-acclaimed “Coordinator of the Coordinators” (oke afa n’egbu
nwa-nkita) of IPOB, one Clifford Iroanya issued a statement to the
effect that it is either “Biafra or Death”.
He added that; “we reiterate that Nnamdi Kanu is not Ralph Uwazuruike
and IPOB is not MASSOB. Therefore, anybody thinking that our leader
will renounce Biafra is certifiably mad. For both IPOB and their leader,
Nnamdi Kanu, it is either we get Biafra or we die on the process of
getting it. There is no middle ground”.
This statement is a confirmation that madness is gradually creeping
into the heads of the out-of-touch “leaders” of the pro-Biafran
movement. So we should now start campaigning for death of our sons and
daughters as opposed to sacredness of life? If we must all die for
Biafra to be actualized, what will then happen to the land of the rising
sun?
Mr. Iroanya should be reminded that lives of Igbo youths cut short
are wondering how he felt after promoting hatred and anger that led to
their massacre on May 30th 2016. They are wondering how he go to sleep
at night. They also wonder how he felt when he saw their dead bodies at
the back of the police trucks. They wonder how he felt when we saw their
spilled blood on the streets.
Mr. Iroanya, is your stomach not feeling queasy from calling for more
deaths of your brothers and sisters? I felt pain and tears when I saw
those dead bodies and my natural response was to cry. Why are we not
crying Mr. Iroanya? Where have we learnt such indifference? And who said
it is a virtue?
I wonder whether you Mr. Iroanya, has ever cared about the voices of
the grieving mothers and wives of these young men. Mr. Iroanya, do you
really care about what the mothers of these young men pass through?
These mothers pass through moments of agonizing sadness and anguish.
They are traumatized and sick. Yet, all you could offer is heartlessness
and calls for more death?
Can someone please tell the con artist, Mazi Chukwuemeka Iroanya to
come down from his artificial safe haven in the United States and see
that the poor masses they deceived are already dying from hunger and
starvation? In today’s Nigeria, Biafra or no Biafra, people are dying.
If you doubt, ask Rev. Father Mbaka.
Rather than encouraging the unemployed Umu Igbo to work harder and
engage in meaningful endeavors that will put food on their tables, the
con artist Mazi Iroanya and his cohorts have been deceiving these youths
with promises of bountiful harvest without cultivation. Meanwhile, he
is working like “Jaky” in the United States to pay his bills and enjoy
good life.
Ndi Igbo have a saying that when the music stops, a deaf person
continues to dance. It is apparent that the con-artists behind IPOB are
deaf. That’s why they are swearing in the name of the god of Amadioha
for death to befall their people while at the shrine of another god in
faraway land eating burger.
A living fire begets cold, impotent ash. IPOB members living abroad
in the free Western world and wishing death on their brothers and
sisters that are suffering on the streets of Nigeria are impotent.
Biafrans in the jungle of Nigeria, striving every day to make ends meet
are not impotent as a people and we don’t wish death upon ourselves.
Umunnem, si nu Mazi Chukwuemeka Iroanya Tufiakwa!
We will not die!
