| Nnamdi Kanu |
Nnamdi Kanu on Thursday, May 12, writes a touching letter to his followers, from Kuje Prison in Abuja. The letter from the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) which was said to have been released through a lawyer representing him read thus:
“I am Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of Indigenous people of
Biafra and also the director of radio Biafra. I have restored Biafra
without a gunshot, I have destroyed Nigeria with truth and I have
conquered Nigeria with Chiukwuokikeabiama. They waited for me to bomb
and shoot, but I refused to use metallic bullet and atomic bombs, I only
used intellectual bullets and bombs and I have flawlessly won the war. I
stood just ordinary radio station and propagated the gospel of
Chukwuokikeabiama, the word of God is power and that power have
destroyed Nigeria and restored Biafra”.
“I observed freedom of speech and fearlessly preached
truth, I am fearless even before death because am prophesy of over 400
years ago. If God is not man then his prophesy shall come to pass and
those that stand against God will know Chiukwuokikeabiama is creation. I
have lawfully followed stipulated procedures for self-determination and
have never been involved in any form of violence or crime, I have
always told you Biafrans to be disciplined and law-abiding and you have
made me proud”.
“I am grateful that we are whiter than white and whiter
than snow. We have no dishonour neither do we have any spot, they have
killed us mercilessly and we have never killed back yet they arrested us
and tried to break us to betray Biafra. They arrested me for saying the
truth, nothing but the truth. They arrested me for demanding Biafra,
they arrested me for embracing freedom of speech. They conspired and
arrested me for being lawful and demanding attention. They arrested me
because peace is prohibited in Nigeria; they arrested me because
dialogue is impossible in Nigeria. They arrested me because I refused to
take up arms, they arrested me because I defeated them intellectually.
When a man is defeated by reason, he sought to discharge his frustration
on justice”.
“I am a prisoner of conscience and I am sure the world
still have conscience. I am Nnamdi Kanu, I have chosen death, I shall
die for Biafra and let my death give my generation a better life, let my
death be a guarantee for a better future, let my death be your smile
and let my death end your marginalization, subjugation, slavery and
tears. I am Nnamdi Kanu the lion that chose death over the abuse of his
people. I instead die than renounce Biafra, give me Biafra or kill me is
where I stand. I have been arrested for nothing, I am a prisoner of
conscience, they are here to break me, to make me renounce Biafra but
they don’t know me, they don’t know Biafra is my religion and they don’t
know renouncing Biafra is a death sentence, is like committing suicide.
In their widest dream shall I commit suicide and I assure them that
days of reckoning will come, for Chiukwuokikeabiama shall avenge the
death of His children”.
“I have taken an oath with the name of God that I shall
never betray or give up Biafra because I knew this day will come. I am
physically and psychologically prepared for this period. I took the oath
and staked my family, my generations and everything I am, and so giving
up Biafra in any condition is impossible, even at gun point, I will
only accept my inevitable death than renounce. I have been arrested
before but this time is more severe, the harder the price is the closer
the Kingdom of God, even Yawehesua prayed that only if this cup will
pass over him. They came with every tactics they know to deceive me into
signing off Biafra, they promised me freedom, heaven and earth, but I
told devil to get behind me for the Kingdom of God worth nothing man can
offer. I am more intelligent than them and I will defeat them to a
point nothing will be left to fight for, Biafra will be and it has come
to stay”.
“I appeared in the court on 19th Feb 2016, in the face of
this persecution to coerce me into giving up Biafra, I wore a clean
white cloth and tagged Biafran flag under the pocket of my white lace. I
tagged the flag there because that is where life is and this is to tell
you that Biafra is why i breathe. I will never ever disappoint you and
will die for Biafra to come. The Biafran flag badge tagged on my white
lace is to remind the world that I am resolute and shall never in this
life accept their gold to sale Biafra. The world has no option except
giving me Biafra and everything in Nigeria shall be at risk if anything
happens to me”.
“Biafrans love me and together we have chosen death or give us Biafra,
should anything happen to me then my command remains. Meanwhile, I have
followed you great Biafrans and I must confess that I am satisfied, you
have made me proud and my message to you all is to stay strong, remain
resolute and focused. We must not give up, we should continue pushing
strong, we should continue our peaceful protest because it is
frustrating Nigerian government and we must keep spreading the message
of Biafra and at the end we shall win”.
