EPISTLE OF PEACE TO MY YOROBA YOUTHS by Pen of the gods.
Greetings my Compatriots from the West , especially the Youths whose adrenaline is pushing beyond bounds ,I come to you as a victim of same uncultured economic growth,as one who is tasting the fury and sorrows of the entire Nation.
I come so we can Circumspect and possibly circumvent a tragedy that may drag this Nation into extinction.
Way Back in 1966,the North have this morbid Hatred toward Ndigbo with same reason current Lagos Youths have ,they despise Ndigbo so much that they wish them all dead,it get to a situation that even the Soldiers joined in the matching Hatred,they want Ndigbo gone from the north and as Ndigbo wanted to go as they demanded,they desended on them especially at Benue and massacred them , tore Open pregnancy ,they soaked the waters of River Benue to Red Sea with our Blood ,we matched on and that wasn't enough ,they invaded Alaigbo though Obolo Afo Nsuka on 6th July 1967 with an Intel that it was only 130 Rifles and catchment of spent bullets were left behind ,because they evacuated the armory under the guise of ARMAMENT RESHUFFLING and render Eastern state Without any iota of defense mechanism.
So banking on that, they invaded and to show that they have already gotten Victory,they said the Invasion was "POLICE ACTION" that they will capture entire Eastern world in 48 hours because they expected no resistance whatsoever.. may be they thought NDIGBO are weaklings.
Well that lasted for 3 years ,the same period it took the entire World to wrestle Germany,a nation that prepared for World War 2 with everything conventional and unconventional, but BIAFRAN withstood not just Nigeria for same period, but most part of the world who supported NIGERIA because of the oil presence in the region that are EASTERN, including Britain that brought War planes, pilot same planes just to carpet Bomb BIAFRA ,though they succeeded in killing Children,babies and elderly which was why the Youths Born in Britain today are more like great problems as the parents had no control because they provoked Heaven and earth ,which was why they are Opening gate for Nigerians to migrate with a hope they are atoning for the sordid atrocities of 67, but the gods are not to be played.
Benue (Middle Belt) thought were in cohort with AWUSA ,In trenches against those who did them no harm ,are suffering the consequences of 1967 atrocities today ,they are seeing just the Preamble and they are horrified,even though the beans is yet to be mashed and they are hungry for Moi moi,in Igbo parlance , there's a saying "AGWO Talu anyi , Juru fa Odu"(The Snake that Bite us , simply flay the tail at them and they are lamenting)..
I know you are prepped to resent NDIGBO as part of those who causes you harm,but let's look at things without bias ..
Ndigbo are not the one selling your Land,they are rather the one buying them ,not just buying them but building them and the sellers or say your leaders who are supposed to account to you what they did with the monies are busy selling message of HATE NDIGBO to you ,what actually is wrong from Buyer buying what a seller is selling ?.
Igbo boys are the ones who patronizes you in whatever you do,they build your place to become Serene from Slum.
At slightest misunderstanding that have to do with what your leaders wanted to gain for selves,they will ask you to unleash on innocent FRIENDLY Igbos who answers you when you call ,when even your leaders don't care if you eat or thirst.
Let me tell you in confidence,Ndigbo don't like to fight because they do not like to go half way ,they see fighting as LAST MAN STANDING and last option.
If NDIGBO should take a stand one day and say ..ENOUGH is ENOUGH,I can tell you that ..you wake up in the morning to see that population of urchins have diminished and the Well to do will be far away in London breathing sigh of escape,and you can't tell what gives .
NDIGBO don't warn twice ,they don't say I will slap you, rather they do what you never believe is possible as a result of bottled up anger that emanated from pains and agonies that piled for long time.
The worst if never provoke them to cry Nzogbu Nzogbu and respond ENYIMBA , ENYI..it is like battle cry that can't be rescinded.
The danger in provoking NDIGBO is that Nobody will ask them to defend Self, Nobody will ask them to stop,they act according to aggravations,and mediating becomes a problem,because many will be acting independently without saying a thing and they can also introduce Mercenaries and the result will not be beautiful to ears ...Don't let them to Chant BOYS OYEE..and respond with OYEE..
Then they don't take prisoner's,as they think it is waste of resources keeping Prisoners.
Just see them as Keg of Gun powder in a Basket,do not smoke while sitting on it , to avoid ashes of Flame igniting it .
Let me conclude by citing on something you can VERIFY..
During the Genocidal outrage in 1967, without hope or technological know how ,same Igbo boys out of frustration Fabricated Guns, Pistols Called Oka Made ,which many of the Urchins brandish even today.
We build an armament that is light years ahead called OGBUNIGWE which is what America called Dirty Bomb,we later fabricated FLYING OGBUNIGWE which is equivalent to NAGASAKI Bomb,but we refused to deploy and the Feds called off the situation Because the Nation would've witnessed a turn around and it will become WAR.
At the end ,it was called NO VICTOR,NO VANQUISH and don't turn back that gory page ,as it won't do any side any good.
We built the world best economy while bombs are shattering efforts our resolve to live.
We build Mobile Refineries on moving Trucks,built Run ways that land Planes on Farm land that are well camouflaged, build Mobile Radio station,all that was done under intense hostility,which NIGERIA are yet to reproduce even as a Nation called Giant of Africa.
My Brothers from the West,I know they may have promised you inheritance of Igbo properties when they are gone from LAGOS ,but do you think even if such happens that they will let you inherit such edifices?.
They won't allow you close to any of it ,as there will be Fight with the Former owners of the Land and assumed owners by proxy ,then against the Rich who will be posing as untouchables who take the choicest, and even if you get one ,will you be maintaining such with Funds that are meager at your possession?.
Whatever Fund you have available, Will sink into maintenance of the said acquisition within months and if you want to sale it ,who will then buy it if not same owners who has being relocated?.
You know what makes us blossom is in us and not within the land ,Igbo Man can be wealthy in COTONOU, can be stupendous Rich in Sahara desert because it is God's given talent,even in Russia NDIGBO can make it large,we are blessed by Divinity and no curse can curse it ,we create Oasis in the dessert.
If Ndigbo leave VGC today,I tell you that the price of property that worths Millions or Billion now ,will crash to Thousands within months.
Same with TRADE FAIR, ALABA AND OTHER PLACES,the Value is with occupants and presence of NDIGBO who allocate value to same .
We woke up with the austere measure of AWOLOWO when he depended on his Position as Financial Minister and imposed on every Igbo Bank account a flat payment of 20 pounds just after the Genocide, despite the fact that each had multi millions and he instigated DIE by firing squad for ARMED Robbery,just Incase BIAFRANS went into Robbery,but it was Dr Oyenusi that was tied at Bar beach Lagos and Executed for Robbery.
The growth you see today is that 20pounds ,it grew with Touch of what God said should be the become.
NDIGBO is not your problem,they are PLUS ,they love to make environment felt Loved ,they care a lot..but let me end this with this advise..
Do not let people push you into hunting for what you can't eat,this same Igbo boys that shy away from trouble are same that withstand Imported Federal ARMY that invaded ALAIGBO,I can tell you that it wasn't what the Federal Army bargained that they saw.
Love NDIGBO as neighbors and they will give you Untouchable Love and affection.but try and altercate with them and unleash the demon.
Mazi Odera POg JP.
Kindly Share,so our Brothers from Western Divide will know the truth undiluted.
