Biafra: Biafra Referendum And What Africa Stands To
Benefit As AU Backs/Ensures A Peaceful Process
Biafra Referendum Is A Right Approach To The Freedom Of
Biafrans And Afican Union Must Show Leadership And
Precedence To Human Lives Across The Continent
The first set of questions that comes to mind whenever the
talks on Biafra referendum is put in perspective among
faithfuls and sympathizers is often the question of how
bloody the exercise would be - the security of the process.
People begin to imagine how the whole matter is going to
go down in lieu of the several unchallenged highhandedness
of the occupying forces of the joint military and paramilitary
outfits. They continue: are we sure it is not another means
of giving easy baitings to the blood-thirsty government of
Muhammadu Buhari and his Fulani cabal? the people keep
asking!
In all these questions and genuine fears and concerns
among the Biafran population and individual foreign friends
and sympathizers, I see a people stuck in a World of
despots, liers, deceivers, blood-suckers, conspirators,
unconcerned, hypocrites and irresponsible leadership, to
mention but a few. Our World has gone blind! Human life
no longer means a thing to humanity! Darkness has
beclouded our original sense of reasoning and empathy!
The evil of lust for material things has ravaged humanity so
devastatingly!
United Nations has forgotten the rights of all indigenous
people Worldwide as declared by the general assembly of
heads of state and government and domesticated by
African Union and all the members of the United Nations
and African Union respectively. The statutory and legal
strength of this article 20 declaration has been transacted
for material benefits by all the organizations responsible for
the enforcement of same!
If truly, the African Union is truly poised to protect the
human rights of citizens of all member Nations from
violation and desecration, as has turned a staring and
barbarous tradition among vast majority of her members
and Nigeria, the principal violators in this context, the
African Union, through her statutory institutions such as her
commission, must not only give an unchallenged support to
Biafra 'REFERENDUM', but also saddle the commission with
the responsibility of enforcing same, being a very peaceful
approach to modern standard for freedom.
Enough of the killings and unchecked maiming across
Africa by sitting despots and tyrants in governments.
Colonial administration, which ravaged Africa in the past,
and got her chunk of blames for various misadventures in
the black continent called Africa is now, truly over. If
Africans truly have the capacity to run their affairs and lead
the turn of political Reformation that shall heal Africa from
all foreign imposed and inorganic creations, the much
campaigned Biafra referendum now presents itself as an
outstanding test of strength of black civilization as against
the rhetorics of 'interruption of black civilization' by the
invading white colonial administration.
The World has truly and obviously gone mute! Waiting for
African Union to intervene and show leadership, at least for
once.
BENEFITS OF AU BACKED BIAFRA REFERENDUM
1)Africa as a continent shall be respected by the rest of the
civilized World for once.
2)African leaders shall be allowed to make decisions for
the welbeing of the continent and citizens alike
3)There shall be renewed commitment to leadership across
Africa
4) Indigenous populations across Africa that seek self-rule,
shall never resort to Arms struggle, which has battered the
image of the continent before the entire World, but go
through an African Union backed Referendum, thereby
avoiding bloodshed and attendant chaos.
5) There shall be a renewed commitment and belief in the
leadership across Africa among the youths and the black
citizens in general.
6) Africa as an emerging Continent shall be the choicest
place for investors from all across the globe
7)Biafrans shall work with other Nations across Africa
towards creating that truly technological continent that shall
stand shoulder to shoulder with other nations/continents of
advanced technology and in the comity of World Nations
8) A great Africa shall breed renewed confidence and pride
among all black people Worldwide, where human rights of
her citizens shall fall within the exclusive priority of the
black Nations and leadership.
9) The Era of potential and creative Africans trooping out
across the World for greener pastures shall be truly over.
10) Africa shall create her dreams into realities.
11) There shall be renewed 'HOPE' across Africa, and Africa
shall be a better place for all.
In the words of Mike Murdoch, the great philosopher " You
will be remembered for two things, the problems you solved
or the ones you created".
The current flocks of leaders across Africa have the golden
opportunity now to scribble their names in the annals of
time. Supporting Biafra would be a solution to a plight,
ignoring Biafra referendum would spell doom for the whole
continent of Africa. A stitch in time also saves nine.
In the phylosophies of Martin Luther King jnr." The ultimate
measure of a man, is not where he stands in moments of
comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of
challenge and controversy"-This should serve as a great
lesson to the rest of Africans and the black people as a
whole in this great moment of attention.
Africa must rise
from the crucibles, only if black life and freedom is given
needed premium.
In conclusion, support Biafra referendum now for a greater,
peaceful and more cohesive Africa.
