As a mother I have wondered about Nnamdi Kanu’s
birth parents as he is always a child of destiny,
called to fulfill the call of Justice, Equity, freedom
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Dr. Alex Ekwueme
The Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra [IPOB], Maazi Nnamdi Kanu may be in Kuje prison in Abuja but he is a free man and the leader of his people.
In prison he has inspired a lot of other ethnic
Nationalities to face the reality of today, it is time
to break free from a country created by a British
man for his own country in 1914 to feed their greed
for power and resources.
In the new nation there was a conspiracy between
the British and their agents against the southern
protectorate, the numerous ethnic nationalities today
identified as the Ndigbo, Yoruba and the different
people who own and inhabit the region known as
the Niger Delta in the made by Lugard Nation
Nigeria.
This is not the first time l am speaking of Maazi
Nnamdi Kanu, it will not be the last. The first time l
spoke of him l referred to him as my son, as a
mother and as an agitator for rights, justice, equity
and freedom l am proud to refer to him as my son.
As a mother I have wondered about his birth
parents as he is always a child of destiny, called to
fulfill the call of Justice, Equity, freedom and to win
the battle of good over evil. He is a child of a
nation, child of a people, child of the past and
indeed a child of and for the future. He will live
long.
Finally yesterday if there were any people of the
Igbo nation, Yoruba and the other ethnic
nationalities of the Niger Delta region that stood on
the fence on the issue of the call of the IPOB for a
separate nation, the call of the Yoruba people, and
that of the Niger Delta people, the conditions
attached to the bail granted to Nnamdi Kanu has
become the breaking point.
The trial of Nnamdi Kanu and three of his brothers
and followers Chidiebere Ownwudiwe, Benjamin
Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi in secret is evil, to
try them under sharia law is an affront and
persecution of all Christians and Christianity, to hide
their accusers from them is a legal injustice.
I am not surprised that Maazi Kanu refused to
accept the terms of his bail, as all the conditions
are against his basic human rights and as he rightly
said unconstitutional.
His refusal to accept any bail conditions that freed
him on bail and held back his followers is a
demonstration of a great and humble leader, also
justifies his role as leader to his followers that he
will never leave them nor sacrifice them.
Lawyers from home and abroad have expressed
their condemnation on the conditions of bail, l am
merely at this time standing up once again to be
counted for good, justice, equity and freedom.
By this l am bringing along ordinary men and
women across the Niger Delta who believe that we
are all equal in this project called Nigeria, and that
anyone is free to leave if they so chose to leave, for
whatever reasons they chose.
A young man born after the civil war that turned him
into a man that will one day rise up and say LET
MY PEOPLE GO’!
Instead of bowing to people who are his equal he
choose to show them that his people, and all other
peoples that make up Nigeria are equal, not by
unacceptable claim to land mass or by the
manufacture of census figures but that we are all
equal because we are.
If there are any groups of people who believe they
are superior to other equal owners and partners of
project made by Lugard Nigeria then they have to
realize that they don’t exist to us and that they are
welcome to leave Nigeria, and if they choose not to
leave then we will leave, but we can no longer
continue under the circumstances that they have
created in the name of governance and politics.
The Niger Delta Self Determination Movement
(NDSDM) and The Niger Delta Occupy Niger Delta
Resources (NDONDR) by this call on all the people, all Ethnic Nationalities of the Niger Delta region to question themselves and find answers to the questions, to begin to consider who their neighbors are, who they can live with, the changes that must take place for their today, their children and grand- children tomorrow.
Do they really believe that this will go beyond
2019?
Do we really believe we want to let this go beyond
2019?
