Nigeria: A Lie Which Supports Palestinian Statehood But Denies Biafra’s Inalienable Reality!

Has anyone ever seen such blatant and arrogant hypocrisy! Has lie ever obliterated the truth! Never! What shall we then say to these things? If a man eats his cake and expects to have it, shall he not be called a gluttonous fool? What name is more appropriate for a state which supports the establishment of another while, at the same time, does everything, not only to stop and deny the realization of the one beside it in which much blood have spilled and lives wasted, but continues to carry out policies with the intention of erasing the generation of this noble people, the Biafrans? What's more, what game shall we say that the Nigerian government is trying to play with the international community when it sits on the rights, freedom and actualization of the sovereign state of Biafra and, at the same time, raises its corrupt and blood-soaked hand in support of another territory's statehood? It gets funnier when one considers that this mouse called Nigeria, which cannot defend or protect even its president, thinks that it's going to score any diplomatic point while resisting the actualization of Biafra and supporting the actualization of a Palestinian state even against the peaceful steps brought forward by the very people that protects its presidency.

The Palestinians have a right to statehood, every right thinking person accepts that. And we accept and believe that the time for that is now and ripe. The steps towards that actualization, however, are what are being considered. The people of Biafra have experienced genocide in Nigeria just as the Israelis have all over the world. While the Biafrans have opted for a non-violent approach to the Biafran dream, the Palestinians have used every method, including rockets and all forms of violence to ascertain their rights. But while this hypocritical, corrupt and bribe-taking Nigerian government goes ahead to arrest, beat, kill, and unlawfully detain MASSOB members in their peaceful and non-violent means for a Biafran state, [1] it unashamedly raises its voice and hand in support of a state filled with all violent method. [2]

Perhaps, and I'm sure, this is the time that the torchlight of the international community should be beamed uninterruptedly on Nigeria to see how a state as hypocritical, wicked, violent against its citizens, corrupt, destructive, fraudulent, discriminatory, faulty, and politically, economically, and security-wise unstable as Nigeria could stand up boldly and assert to be an embodiment of wisdom, democracy, freedom, and human rights. I strongly believe that it's high time the United Nations understood that, for peace to reign in Africa, Nigeria must disintegrate. I strongly believe that the Western world understands the needful urgency in creating a Biafran state as one of its greatest measures in combating terrorism in Africa. Now that terrorism in Nigeria (starting from a city less than three miles to the capital) [3] has moved to killing Igbos who cannot recite any portion of the Quran in broad daylight, the sky shall be Al-Qaeda's limit in the world if America and the rest of the world do not urgently stand up to support for the Biafran statehood.

If indeed there should be a Palestinian state now, then there should be a Biafran state now. If the government of Nigeria claims to believe it proper that the Palestinians are due for statehood, then it will amount to an international display of immaturity, foolishness, and arrogant callousness when it goes on to deny and resist the actualization of the sovereign state of Biafra. It's childish and unthinkable that a blind man could claim to see where the seeing should step on; it's totally laughable and shameful that the Nigerian government could feel secure in the hands of Israel and still speak like an ungrateful baby. Palestine is due for statehood, yes, and Biafra is due for statehood too! If freedom must come with a cost, Biafrans have paid double, and if peace is the process, Biafrans have known this way.

It's important for everyone from everywhere, including Nigerians, to know that those who claim to be leaders in Nigeria have gone totally bonkers. A nation where the president is protected by a foreign security outfit [4] is not fit for a state within a state, and a nation where the first lady publicly and before the international community overshadows the president, her husband, [5] is a laughing stock amongst other diplomats and heads of state. The beauty of divine justice is that, no matter how much money you steal, no matter how much power you wield, and no matter how much blood you spill, your end shall be greatly shameful. That's the inevitable end of Nigeria. A stitch in time saves nine. Israel fought the 1967 war (also known as the June War, 1967) which stretched the Palestinian statehood actualization to this date barely a month before Biafra declared independence which led to Nigeria's genocide against her (Nigerian-Biafran War, 6 July 1967). If Nigeria must speak in defense for human rights in the international community or anywhere else, it must start by speaking in defense for human rights at home. [6] This hypocrisy and this nationally-glorified life of sycophancy amongst Nigerian leaders can only bring one thing back home: more decay. Unless and until Nigeria releases its hold on Biafra, peace, freedom and human rights will continue to elude all in Nigeria. By the way, it does not matter what Pharaoh thinks or believes, God's people must go. It matters not how many children Herod the king has killed is search of the seed of Abraham, the 'born of the spirit' shall not be touched.
