In his statement, the ex-militant said “If anything will stir me to fight, it is my belief that Biafra was right. When I was growing up, we were told a lot of things to hate Biafra. Maybe some of us were persuaded. But the more I grew up, the more I realized that it was the greatest mistake we made for not allowing Biafra to stand”.
“You might not feel the pain that I feel, but if an Igbo man does not feel the pain that I feel, I am sorry for him. If an Urhobo man doesn’t feel the pain, I am sorry for him”.
“What Ojukwu lived and died for, in the coming years, we will see it with our eyes because of the arrogance of a few people that were born to rule”.
“For the first time in history, the divide and rule tactics of those who have kept us down failed and the Igbo voted more for President Jonathan than the people of the South-South”.
“Our gathering today is to bring the gathering of the dispossessed and oppressed people of the Middle Belt, Ndigbo people and the people of the Niger Delta together and we are going to move like a force”
Today, May 30th is Biafra Day, a day celebrated worldwide by Biafrans and South-East South-South of Nigeria to remember their dead heroes who fought for the declaration of the sovereign state of Biafra.
