Yakubu Gowon

Sir, tears trickled down my cheek when i saw you addressing Biafra issue, though the stories are everywhere but i saw your wickedness on humanity, my father who was amputated by the rain of your bombs once said in tears to me "son if you see that man, don't spare him a breathe, he raped your mother, he starved over millions of our children to death, he killed unarmed Biafrans and our refugee camps were their destinations while the battle field they deserted soaked no blood". Yakubu Gowon, its an abuse to the dead that deserves respect that you openly profess that their death will be in vain, you make mockery of we Biafrans by saying the memory of our fathers, mothers, children, sisters and brothers you killed in millions lives not, you make mockery of us because you enjoy silence and bluntness of the sword of justice.

The genocide you spearheaded and masterminded still lives in our memory and drives us every day. I received too many calls from wounded and angry Biafrans asking me what did that Satan said, some were of strong belief that you need a jungle justice hence the law turned blind on you. Chief killer, in as much as the memory of Biafra war is our driving force and really an abuse to say Biafra war is a forgotten thing I wish to make this clear to you.  Ojukwu was a war lord more than he was a leader to us, now we have Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who has not only brought all Biafrans together, he has made Biafra a religion that Ijaw speaking Biafrans, Igbo speaking Biafrans, Ibibo Efiks among others have one ideology and that is Biafra. South South and southeast had been made to know their history, we have known how you divided us to rule and subjugate us.

And it is evident with the protest so far where southsouth proved more Biafran than southeast. Sir, we are everyday reminded of the holocaust against us each time you talk about Biafra, it will be more respectful to us and appealing to world leaders, international criminal court and human right organizations that you seize mentioning Biafra as you are epitome of lawlessness or injustice-personified. Sir, instead of addressing Boko haram which your one Nigeria war begot that have been killing and rendering men homeless, you neglected it to address a peaceful people seeking freedom. You are never ashamed as a children-killer even your deed ranked you third most bloody leaders. Finally I will sound this note to you Biafra is coming with Nnamdi Kanu and nothing anyone can do about it.
