Restoration Project: We Aren’t Quitting Anytime Soon
“A people
denied the right to self-determination will fight until they achieve it.”
General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu
These words
of the Biafran eternal leader are not mere words. They were a prophecy, a
thunderous cry from a man who saw far ahead, who knew that injustice cannot
last forever, and that a people robbed of identity, dignity, and freedom will
someday rise again. Today, over five decades after Biafra was declared, that
cry still echoes louder than ever: We are not quitting; not until Bịafra sovereignty
is restored.
The People
of Biafra have endured humiliation, marginalization, betrayal, and genocide. We
have been called rebels, branded terrorists, and hunted down like animals for
simply demanding what every free people deserve - self-determination. But let
the world understand that we are not afraid, and we are not backing down.
How can we
quit when our fathers’ bones still cry out from shallow graves in Asaba,
Owerri, Onitsha, Nsukka, and Enugu?
How can we
surrender when our mothers were raped, our children starved, and our hopes
crushed beneath the boots of a government that still treats us like
second-class citizens?
We cannot
quit because we carry the torch lit by Ojukwu - the torch of truth, justice,
and survival. We are Biafrans not by convenience, but by blood and history.
Nigeria has tried everything to erase us using economic sabotage, military
occupation, cultural suppression, and media blackout, but like the phoenix we
rise again and again.
And now,
they ask why we still agitate?
We agitate
because the Nigerian state has failed to heal the wounds it inflicted.
We agitate
because our youths are still being arrested, disappeared, and killed for waving
our flag.
We agitate
because the so-called unity is a lie wrapped in chains.
They tell us
to move on, but how do you move on when your future is caged? How do you move
on when those who ruined your past still controls your tomorrow?
To those who
misunderstand us, we say, Biafra is not a threat; Biafra is a right.
To those who
fear our rise, we say, justice delayed is not justice denied.
To those who
hope we shall give up, hear us now, We aren’t quitting anytime soon, not until
Biafra is restored.
This
struggle is bigger than one man, one group, or one generation. It is the soul
of a people longing to breathe freely. We will continue to speak, march, write,
organize, and resist with our voices,
our minds, and our undying spirit.
Ojukwu
spoke, we listened. And now, we march.
Biafra lives
in us, Biafra will rise again!
And when
that day comes when the flag rises once
more, not in defiance, but in freedom
the world will know that a people denied the right to self-determination
fought, endured, and won.
Biafra or
nothing!
