The Advent of Biafra: Why Nnamdi Kanu Is Meeting With Biafran Statesmen and Politicians

Honestly, I was hesitant to tell why Mazi Nnamdi Kanu cannot abandon the Biafra restoration struggle because I felt it was like explaining why the colour yellow is yellow or why an immortal cannot die. But after considering that some Biafrans are worried that Nigeria corrupts everything that it touches, I think it is okay to assure Biafrans and friends of Biafra that Nnamdi Kanu's recent meetings with some prominent Biafran-born Nigerian politicians does not mean he is “mingling” with them. What he is doing is a door-to-door evangelism. The "hard of hearing-ness" of some of these politicians is so chronic that you need to go close and talk into their ears about the coming of Biafra.
There is no doubt that the rest of us can get to Biafra, but will it not be marvelous if we can get every willing Biafran into the Train of Freedom? So, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is going round and handing the train tickets to these probably-scared-Biafrans. Aside from that, the Biafran leader is also meeting with Biafran statesmen and elders who were on the ground and directly involved in the first coming of Biafra.
These persons will share, with him, their wealth of knowledge and experience, and hopefully their consult will help in setting the ground for the Biafra referendum to be held this year. Take for instance this two elder statesmen he has visited: Dr Alex Ekwueme is one of the principal persons that pried the government of Nigeria from the grip of the military; and Retired Colonel Joseph “Air-Raid” Achuzie is a Biafran-war legend famous for the battles he put the Nigerian vandals in such miseries that made them scurry back into their caves, with their tails between their legs, like horrified jackals.
The point is that the counsels of these caliber of men will help us know more pressure points of Nigeria and how to exploit them; as well as know how to avoid the pitfalls that wrecked the first advent of Biafra. Moreover, the mere involvement of these people gives credence to our struggle for freedom. It serves as a proof to Nigeria and the world that our elders and many of our elite politicians are behind us.
