IPOB - FREEDOM FIGHTERS AND NOT POLITICIANS

In Africa today rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard thinking, sincerity in words and approach. Though there is a universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions but nothing pains some people like having to think to give or bring out positive results to understand how things work. It is not even all about praising God and hallelujah, and a great thank you, Jesus. It’s about possessing the knowledge to know how things work.

Some of our religious leaders are now experts in the dark act, you can still claim to be filled with the Holy Ghost but can still be ignorant. That is why some of our clergymen have sold their conscience for a piece of silver regardless of their call as the servants of God. As servants of God, they have totally forgotten that their priority is the welfare, wellbeing and freedom of the children of God from captivity through their words of wisdom and encouragement. 

After all, Jesus Christ, they claim to worship today is a freedom fighter, whom through his hard work and perseverance was spotted and considered a true son of God because of his utmost concern about his people. He was preaching against the humiliations and suffering of his own people that he will pay and really paid the price with his life so that his people would be free from captivity. What have you as His servants done to emulate him? There has not been any true Son of God who didn't, in one way or the other engaged in freedom fighting you can as well trace it down from the Holy bible starting from Moses, Elijah etc.

In order words, freedom fighting has always been a priority of a true son of God and God in his infinite mercy rewarded them all. You parade yourselves as Pastors, Reverends, Deacons and Cardinals, but your work and actions do not potray that. Instead, with their religious recognition and status, they close their mouth on things that matter. Furthermore, the likes of Martin Luther King Jr said, and I quote. “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. Cardinal Arinze derives joy from speaking against the freedom of the Children of God, (Biafrans).

We all know him today as a Catholic Cardinal and a possible Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, and believe you me, he is an Apostle of Martin Luther King Jr's Quote. "Our scientific and religious power has outrun our spiritual powers, he also confirmed it by admitting, "We have guided missiles and misguided men". We have been misdirected so many times by Pastors, Bishops, Deacons, Reverends, and Even by a Cardinal of a Roman Catholic church in other to stop the agitation for the restoration of the sovereign state of Biafra. 

So many times, too we have experienced Demons in Reverends and Pastor's clothing, whom their callings are for devilish and satanic paintings, who have been sent in one way or the other by the contraption called Nigeria to distract us. They forget that our progress is not automatic but inevitable because every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifices, sufferings and struggles. The tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals still keep us going.

It’s really a shameful thing to have admitted that a Nation that has existed for more than five thousand years should join a political party that was just formed a few years back to achieve their freedom. That is to say that some of our so-called Religious leaders and clergymen have lost their senses of reasoning and apparently they have engaged their thoughts, mind and soul in some devilish activities which now made them not to be able to remember the main reason and purpose they were called to do this work of God. No wonder Martin Luther King Jr. stated in one of his quotes, "whatever your life's work is, do it well, A man should do his job so well that the living], the dead and the unborn will testify.

And mind you IPOB is a platform mapped out for freedom fighting by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and not a political party like you have advised. We are walking down the right path, and we are willing to keep walking without violence. Eventually, we will succeed in the nearest time to come. No one born of a woman could truncate our passion (Biafra), our dream must be free to fly high. No Government, no Religious Leader, no Legislature, has a right to limit our craving for freedom because our resolve is unflinching, we would never agree to surrender our dream, (BIAFRA)

ALL HAIL BIAFRA
