Obasanjo Prepares to Fulfil Rueben Abati's Prophesy on the
Extermination of Ndiigbo
Our attention
has been drawn to a deliberate attempt by former Maximum Ruler of Nigeria and
now its arranged President, General Mathew Olusegun Obasanjo to again lay
Ndiigbo out for slaughter. He is not new to the slaughtering of Ndiigbo. He did
it before. In Biafra in war times and in Okigwe and Owerri in his current
presidency, under his persecution scheme against the peaceful Movement for the
Actualisation of Biafra, MASSOB. Obasanjo has through deliberate inaction and
unpresidential utterances given tacit support to the continued slaughter of
Ndiigbo and destruction of their properties all over Nigeria, the most notorious
being the Shara-inspired mayhems in Kaduna, Bauchi and Jos under his current
presidency, three years today, May 29, 2002.
His kinsman and
intellectual fraud (419), an Area Boy Journalist, and crass and crude media
manipulator extraordinary, Rueben Abati dramatised Obasanjo's new devilish
scheme against Ndiigbo in his piece "Obasanjo, Secession and the Secessionists",
which he published in the Chief Hate Stable of Nigerian Press, The Guardian,
Lagos owned by the Ibrus. That infamous piece which ran on Dec 16, 23 and 30,
2001, clearly established who is behind Abati's hate campaign against Ndiigbo.
The world must know that Abati said Obasanjo would not hesitate 'to take off
Igbo heads' to maintain the UNITY? Of a failed State called Nigeria. As reported
by DAILY TRUST, TUESDAY MAY 28, 2002, under the banner "Secession not solution
to our problems -Obasanjo" by Suleiman Mohammed, Obasanjo has issued a threat to
Ndiigbo in furtherance of what Abati told the world in December 2001 as part of
a wider plot to complete the extermination of Igbo Nation which Obasanjo could
not achieve between 1967-70.
For us Ndiigbo Generation 1960-70+, Obasanjo
remains what he is, a LIQUIDATOR OF OUR GENERATION. We strongly believe he has a
date at The Hague. We will ensure he honours that date someday. Time is no limit
to it. That is a fact that must not be ignored.
On the immediate, we want
the world to know that Nigeria is living on borrowed time. Obasanjo has made
this more than possible by his poor leadership in the last three years. In his
wickedness, Obasanjo as usual makes the Secessinist/Self-determination Agenda an
exclusive Igbo quest. It is not! The world must know that Obasanjo is a serial
liar. He is a shameless power maniac. He wants on to hang to power at all costs.
We make haste to assure him, it will not be at the cost of the blood, sweat and
property of Ndiigbo. He will be deftly challenged should he try.
His own
Yoruba people are the prime agitators on the Secessionist/Self-determination
Agenda. They have violent forces on the ground. Odua Peoples Congress (ODU) is
the foot-soldiers of their quest. The Yorubas, Obasanjo's people also have other
active cells like ODUA LIBERATION FRONT. These are verifiable facts. Obasanjo
treats all of them with kid gloves. Yet he is quick to point his unclean fingers
on Ndiigbo. This hypocrisy must stop!
The Niger Delta People, another
group of Nigerians Obasanjo evokes his no compassionate nature, is crusading for
The Niger Delta Republic. Their resources continue to be brazenly exploited
without full benefit to them. Their environment permanently destroyed, living
them without fishing or farming outlays, to sustain their existence as is
traditional to them.
Worst, the body and blood of their youths continue
to be cheapened daily through unwantom killings by a ruler who would allow the
family of his fellow Maximum Ruler, late General Sani Abacha to keep One Hundred
Million Dollars in a deal he praises himself for brokering, while the masses of
the Nigerian people die in good number daily as a result of hunger and lack of
medical services.
The Middle Belters are not left alone. They too, like
many other nationalities/groupings in Nigeria, are crusading for
self-determination. It is a legitimate quest, recognised by UN and the
international community.
For the avoidance of doubt, we state
unequivocally that Obasanjo, Chief Hater of and Self-proclaimed conqueror of
Ndiigbo is making a mortal mistake. Obasanjo's threat that "It (BIAFRA) may
succeed for a while but eventually it will be resisted by others, then you who
were dominating may end up losing what you had" is critically noted. It is not
an empty threat. We know because we know. We are aware of his scheming and his
politics of blood and expediency. The world knows that Obasanjo's hands are
dripping with the blood of innocent children, women and the aged from Biafra,
Odi, Okigwe and Zaki Biam currently receiving the attention of the civilised and
humane members of our humankind. Our knowing of his repulsive credentials makes
us more aware and eternally vigilant.
We want to restate that our quest
is peaceful. And we want to remain peaceful till we reclaim what legitimately is
our God-given right, The Sovereign State of Biafra, SSB.
Obasanjo is
hereby warned to desist from his jingoist tendencies and pathological hatred of
Ndiigbo. He must come to terms with the fact that we have a generational task.
Our Generation, Ndiigbo Generation 1960-70+, have resolved to take Our Distinct
Destiny in Our Hands. On this score there would not be any compromise! We will
achieve it! And we want to do this peacefully.
Those who make courtesy
calls on Obasanjo in his fortress, ASO ROCK and where he wants to remain life
president of a failed State, called Nigeria, are doing so for their pockets and
pockets only. They are not doing it for Ndiigbo. They are not doing it for our
generation. We know what we want. We are very capable. We will have it. This is
the decree of our Chi Ukwu.
Biafra lives!!
