The agitations for the restoration of the sovereign state of Biafra have taken very distinct dimension since the 12th of December 2020. It was on this day's live Radio Biafra broadcast anchored by Mazi Nnamdi kanu, leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB), that he (Mazi Kanu), unveiled his plans of possible measures aimed at safeguarding Biafra forests, farmlands, boundaries and citizens. This began that same day with the launching of Eastern Security Network (ESN), which he commissioned this assignment to.
The resurrection of the Biafra spirit in every one that truly have the Biafran blood running in his veins, was as well made possible through this same Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. And one thing that has distinguished him from many Biafran freedom fighters that came earlier, is his genuine intentions. He has sacrificially taken it upon himself to incorruptibly champion this cause until Biafra is realised within the ambit of the United Nations laws for self determination.
Therefore, he has led IPOB into engaging in genuine and legitimate civil disobedience measures like peaceful protests, boycoth of elections and Sit-At-Home. But in all, the government of the day has shown absolutely no remorse. Things have continued to deteriorate to the extent that the Nigerian security forces arrest and kill our people, sell their body parts and force people out of their houses during any sit at home actions in an attempt to preserve Nigeria.
Inspite of that, the unabated attacks and killings of Igbo youths, the federal government has boldly sponsored intruders and the fourth world most deadly terrorist group, Fulani herdsmen to incessantly kill our people, rape our women and destroy our farmlands with their cattles. Terrible indeed!
The IPOB leaderse has used several means possible to draw the attention of the international community, Amnesty International, United Nations, African Union, European Union anx G-Seven, to intervene by stopping all these inhuman threatments on an indigenous people, but to no avail..
Kanu equally proposed a dialogue to the Nigerian government for a debate and demanded that President Buhari (which Kanu claims is being impersonated), should be made to run a DNA test, assuring the government that he will back off on the agitations if he is defeated in the debate or his claim turned out to be false. Yet the government did the worst by murderously invafing Kanu's father's house where thirty (30) Biafran youths were gruesomely killed by thd Nigeria army and his parents (the King and his Queen) later died from the trauma.
In the midst of all these, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu never capitulates because he chose first the freedom of his people.
Just when we thought things were getting softened a bit, the worst happened.
A nationwide "Endsars" protest embarked on by Nigerian youths got highjacked by the Rivers State Government. Hoodlums under the leadership of Governor Nyesom Wike were sponsored and their activities resulted in massive killing of Biafrans by the Nigeria security agents in Obigbo local government of the State. Rather than calming down the situation as a governor, Wike who was actually the stage manager of the protest continued in his quest to please his Fulani masters at Abuja, by putting a 24 hours curfew in Obigbo. During which time, there was deployment of the Nigeria military io Obigbo where thousands of youths and pregnant women were massacred. Many women were kidnapped, airlifted to the North and rapped severally on daily basis by the Fulani soldiers in the the Nigerian army.
Now, the question is: which true leader will behold all these continued inhuman treatments against his people and do nothing?
It is therefore with these provocations, added with the negligence and deadly silence from world powers that left the IPOB leadership with no other option than to activate self defence. This is why the formation of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) became a necessity, because Biafraand must be defended.
That one cannot beat a child and ask him/her not to cry is one simple logic that those managing Nigeria have refused to get into their skulls. So, even after the lauch of ESN, the government has become more aggressive, appearing as if they never espected that anyone would save Biafraland from total destruction. But thank God for ESN's formidability. The Fulani forces of Nigeria have witnessed a strong resistance from all ends.
This is why the formation of ESN remains justified, because Biafraland must be protected.
