The blood of our men has flowed upon the sands of our
ancestors like the rivers of old. The tears of our women have equally
constantly poured out like the waterfall in an ancient ranch of a forgotten
wood. On the side of our youths, they have made groaning their breath, and the
maidens of our land have had their pride turned into the deepest mourning.
All these are obtainable in these our days when darkness
has become the light of the black world, when all hope seems lost, our old men
weep like children and plead for mercy, while our mothers cry till blood
becomes their tears, as they pray for deliverance.
But the voice of the righteous touched the heart of the
Almighty, and turned his face of mercy towards the children of the rising sun,
the Biafra people, and He decided to send them a saviour, the Messiah of the
new age through whom liberation, emancipation, and independence would come, and
the new government would rise.
But "who is worthy to father the promised messiah
and whose womb is fit to conceive him"? This question from the council of
divinity, spurred, ignited, or triggered a search by the Angels of the Most
High and Ancient being.
A torch was beamed in the dark, in search for a medium.
Among the millions of men, he was found worthy, from the royal line of Afara
Ibeku in God's own city of Abia. Eze Israel Kanu was found to father the
Messiah of the new age. And among all wombs of women, she was found worthy in
heart, soul and spirit, blessed among women and greatly favoured among the
living. Lolo Ugoeze Sally Kanu was chosen to mother our hero Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
and his conception and birth became possible through the union of this blessed
couple Eze and Ugoeze Israel Kanu.
For the future to hold, a lot was required to raise our
noble leader and they overcame every challenge to make him fit for the mission
ahead. They raised him under the platform of righteousness, and when he grew
up, truth became his watchword and song. In the chosen time, as the prophecy
had it said, the mission for the retrieval of the freedom of the people of
Chukwu Okike Abiama began.
Soon, on the appointed time, it fell on the shoulders of
man of prophecy, Ohamadike, the Hero of our time, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and so he
took up the mantle of leadership, as divinely programmed. Because he was
called, he won the heart of all truth seekers, and just like the dust of the
wind, his people swarm around him.
Automatically the parent of the Messiah became the
parents of the Biafra people. They ever remained strong in their position as
our father and mother. They became the pillar of our success without a crack,
and were ready for every challenge.
In the time when Ohamadike was abducted, they were not
shaken, when he was imprisoned and tortured, they were strong as ever, and when
the protests began, their encouragements never seized. When the massacre came
from the oppressors, they fought side by side with us to set us free.
In the charade and show of shame that was termed court
proceedings, which was indeed a kangaroo colourless and tasteless drama, they
took the lead in vehemently protesting against the display of confusion by the
rogues at Aso Rock.
When we lost our homes, because of the struggle, they
took us in and fed us constantly with joy of hope. Because of our freedom, they
accepted all sorts of humiliation. They even rejected the offer of about the
highest office in Nigeria, and multiple-billion-naira bribe to denounce this
fate of freedom. For their "stubbornness" against our
oppressors, their palace was raided, the royal house of Afara Ibeku was
defiled, desecrated, and the blood of their people spilled.
As they witnessed the people they care for and protect,
slaughtered before their very eyes, they had the highest shock of their lives. Everything
needed to be sacrificed for our freedom, Eze and Ugoeze Israel Okwu Kanu have
sacrificed them all for Biafrans, and Biafra restoration.
To crown it all, to make sure they are free from every
demand for sacrifice, they gave their lives for us to live. Indeed, they are
worth more than what they seem to the Biafran people. Eze Israel and Ugoeze Okwu
Kanu, truly if wishes were horses, beggars will ride. We had hoped that,
considering the inspiration, motivation, vigour, resoluteness, and
indefatigability you injected into the Biafra restoration project, that would
live to see the materialization of BIAFRA nation.
We had hoped that you would grow older to see the smile
of the rising sun in the coming kingdom of God on Earth. Elohim saw the need
and allowed it, and we must accept every decree of divinity for the restoration
of Biafra, for we have neither ability nor capability to question nor argue
with Heaven.
In view of the legacy you have bequeathed us, we shall
continue to fight till BIAFRA is fully, totally, and completely restored, as we
have covenanted to ensure that your fight can never be in vain.
Forever, we shall always remember you, and from
generation to generation, our children will celebrate you. May you find peace
in the blessed land designed by the Almighty for our ancestors till the end of
time. Ise Isee Iseeeee!
